I liked Golden Abyss a lot, but I don't rank it higher than Uncharted 1. Playing Uncharted 2 again, the experience really is quite a lot better on the home console, and while I'm getting an increased impression I am alone in this, the gameplay and set-pieces of Uncharted 3 were more fun than Uncharted 2. The only reason why I think Uncharted 2 stands above 3, is simply because it is a much more complete 'whole' with a better story, better story setup, and cooler character interaction and development. So even while the controls were a bit off initially in Uncharted 3 didn't help either, and some of the earlier forest scenes that should have looked very impressive but failing (ML)AA ruins it, almost all the fighting sections involving water in Uncharted 3 more than make up for it gameplay wise. Some of the sections were slightly ridicilulous, sure, but I do remember those, and want to play them again. In fact, even just watching them on youtube, I feel compelled to keep watching. That said I still really enjoyed Golden Abyss, and the last few hours of the game were very exciting and I played through them in one sitting, and the game has a lot of depth to go back into it and collect, trade and so on. However, personally I would have much preferred some kind of score chasing with leaderboards.

Nah, I agree -- and while I'm not sure where GA fits in yet, since I already think that 1 & 3 were infinitely better for me than Uncharted 2, I don't have any problems believing that I will eventually place GA above it as well.

Damn! On a recent flight my Vita sustained damage to its shell in the form of a crack near the right speakers. No idea how this happened, it was in a protective case and I wasn't exactly rough with my backpack. Anyone else sustained damage in that general area? It's not a big deal, but man, the Vita is so good looking. I hate to have a blemish on it.

wut I imagine you meant "isn't"?

I spend so long proofreading my posts and then I make mistakes like this. Yep, that's what I meant.

Some of those aren't franchises though, so I don't think they'll get sequels just for the Vita. The Move Ape Escape game just came out last year, so the franchise isn't dead. The others? Probably, although Medievil Resurrection was incredibly surprising, making it impossible to say.

I was replaying to Zeer0id(read his post) who was talking about Sony's IPs in general, not about big franchises.

I guess I'm going with the Idle Thumbs definition as per their most recent podcast, because I don't really consider 10 year old games that don't even have a PSN release (Omega Boost, specifically) IPs.

there is no other definition here really, IP = Intellectual Property,so any game the company still own the rights for,old or new.


(and again Zeer0id and me weren't talking about big super seller titles (COD/Mario sized franchises) just about Sony games in general).

Why would Bethesda suddenly make a WRPG for Vita when they canned their PSP one, and have horrid performance on PS3?

If you go to any window tint shop, they have film in different percentages, a piece of film to fit the vita screen wouldnt cost much at all, hell they might even give it to you free. the higher the percentage rating is the amount of light transference so the lower the number the darker it is. worth a shot.

You mean those car window tint shop? But wouldn't those tint not stick on a screen and/or block touch?

All of you are talking specific RPGs dammit.... Just give me any turn based RPGs Sony.... please! Disgaea III is great and I'm sure Persona 4 VITA will be as well, but I want some classic RPGs for the thing.... Make it so please Sony.... Make it so....


Oh wait, probably not since SE will do nothing and after that there is........waiting...

fuck rerelease nonsense. i need NEW games

[eighty(one)]

I was asking about this in the previous thread. I actually didn't end up getting it (not because I didn't want it, but I just decided to save my money and make do), but most respondents claimed it's attractive and functional, although the build quality is cheap and it's way overpriced.

Really like it. Sure the materials used aren't super fancy or anything, but it looks elegant. I'll add that Vita looks even more attractive when holstered upon the dock. The Vita easily attaches, absolutely no fuss like the dock of an iPad cable/iPhone cable connector. The dock also doesn't slip around and stays put. It just makes sense. I have a screen protector on the touchpad and the touchscreen, I feel better about keeping the unit scratch/ding free, on a dock vs. sitting on a surface somewhere.

Although it say's announcement, the use of the word 'duty' in duty-bound makes me think it will just be the unveiling of BO:Declassified. Intentional pun?

I thought this too, in fact I feel its the most likely scenario, really.

Unlikely. XSeed was saying the Legend of Heroes games would take years to translate.

You probably just violated some ancient grammatical rule by using "Bethesda" and "suddenly make" in the same sentence. Watch out for Karmatic repercussions. ;-)

Edit: Darn, looks like I did it too.

[patsu]

Even though I went through Disgaea 3 about 3 years ago and did a fair amount of post game content, I'll be damned if the Vita version isn't pulling me in even harder than the first time. Just feels so perfect on a handheld. Can always pick it up, grind a few maps, and put down (haha.. yeah right). Due to hand cramping I went out and got the Nyko Power Grip and highly recommend it. Very comfortable and from what I can tell appears to double the Vita's battery life. The best accessory I've bought in a long time, and a steal for its price. I tried the PDP grip a few months back and didn't care for it (caused my hands to cramp in a different way and wasn't a fan of the trigger "dead zone"), but I've had zero issues with this one. Won't be sticking it in my pocket or most cases, but if you needed to it can be removed easy enough.

Ha ha, I love and hate my Nyko grip at the same time. It made my Vita too big, but I appreciate the battery life, grip comfort, and added weight. ^_^

I'm looking for ways to attach/sling it to my small laptop bag. The shape makes Vita look like a silly weapon, and impossible to stand upright.

OTOH, the ergonomic grip feels just right for playing long hours. It's very nice to be able to play the Vita at any reclined angle for 4-5 hours straight, and not worry one bit about the battery running out.

My only complain is the grip's USB port. It should allow me to copy files from and to a PC/Mac/PS3. I'm perfectly fine with leaving my Vita perpectually in the grip. Right now every time I want to backup, I have to take Vita out and hook it to the backup host directly.

Played Virtua tennis last night and this morning and ended up playing for five hours combined. I'm liking this way more than Hot Shots.

Glad people like VT4.

Although I own a PSP, I don't use it enough for gaming.

I play a hell lot more on Vita compared to all my past consoles.
Have tried a few genra I don't care for on Vita too.

Platformer: Mutant Blobs Attack, Rayman Origins --> Both are superb !

Sports: VT4, FIFA --> VT4 works surprisingly well. Still trying to get into FIFA

Horror: Corpse Party --> Bought it to try but I haven't started yet

Since the GBA I've found that long, grindy RPGs always tend to be better on handheld systems. It's reached a point now where I think I'd prefer all of them to be on either 3DS or Vita. And it's a large part of why I want PS1 compatibility so bad -- lacking a PSP, I need a way to play those PS1 RPGs!

Yes, I find that I don't hesitate to buy super long games on Vita anymore. Once I am confident that I can find time to play, I'm also more willing to try other stuff.

[kurrptsenate]

I made fun of my brother for instantly buying the nerf grip for his Vita, but after my son put a nice nick in mine, shortly purchased one myself.

I find the Vita to become pretty uncomfortable after a long session. I think the nerf does a great job at fixing this problem.

so Vita can output audio from it's weird USB port too, I didn't know this before and that is actually pretty interesting.

Really hoping that vita heaven 2 is sooner rather than later -_- Knowing Sony they'll just have a small, behind closed doors event at TGS. Also, that hint from CVG is clearly for CoD, although it makes me sad, I do wish it was something else. A portable Bethesda RPG like Fallout would make me lose my mind, I wouldn't get any work done and my wife would probably leave me because all I'd do is play that on my Vita.

Curse you guys for reminding me that Suikoden 2 isn't on the PSN store :( I don't want to play my mint condition copy anymore, I want a digital copy on my Vita....
