Unit 13 online pass query; My friend is selling me a copy of Unit 13 but with the pass used. I doubt i'll ever play co-op tbh, what else will I miss out on if I don't buy one?

If you don't plan on playing co-op it's definitely worth it. The single player can last forever if you want it to.

[jonno394]

You won't have access to all of the online co-op features, but as long as you're buying it at a discount it's not a big deal. I've only played online a few times, and it's kinda fun but it's poorly designed. I had a hard time setting up matches with people I know, and when playing through matchmaking it sends you back to the main menu at the end of each match. I'd say it's perfectly fine as a single player game, and I don't think the online pass locks out leaderboards, just online co-op.

That's all I needed to know really. Thanks.

Shouldn't we be getting a firmware update today to support PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe?

Oooh, that would be nice. I don't know, but I hope so.

Apparently its a switch to flip on the PSN side so no new firmware is needed.

We will see soon though.

[Snuggler]

That's all I needed to know really. Thanks.

Yeah, I can't say it with absolute certainty, but I'm 95% sure that online leaderboards don't require an online pass, since they're present when you're playing levels behind the 'Solo' option in the start menu. The online pass just locks out all of the content behind the 'Online' option in the start menu, if that makes sense. Pretty good game, by the way, nothing outstanding but it plays well and it's addictive.

Can someone explain why Sony keeps showing screens with wallpaper size ? (from SCEE)

I guess you didn't see that tweet of Dylan's? RE: PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe

I got a mail today that due to some internal process it might slip to next week's update :-(

[Figboy79]

Is firmware 1.67 new?

I updated to that last night. Is it an older firmware update? I thought I had kept my Vita up to date, but out of curiosity I ran the updater, and it updated to 1.67. I was a 97MB download. Just curious if I somehow missed an update and didn't realize it.

EDIT: I guess it was an older update. I could have sworn I downloaded every single Vita update so far...

I just got a 16gb card (finally upgraded from my 4gb with the FEB). I want to still use the 4gb card for demos, though. Is it a pain in the butt to switch cards on Vita? Should I just forget about using the 4gb card?

[Agent X]

I guess you didn't see that tweet of Dylan's? RE: PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe https://twitter.com/#!/dylancuthbert...65708590518272

Oh no, that's not good!

I wonder why Sony's PSP compatibility updates are rolling out at such a slow pace? According to this support page, they haven't updated the list since February 24 (two days after the "full" launch). This is discouraging for current Vita owners looking to supplement their game libraries with PSP titles, as well as those who don't yet own a Vita and are waiting to see more games available before they take the plunge.

[xKilltheMx]

For my birthday today my girlfriend got me a psn card, so any ideas for what to do with 20 bucks on PSN?

Games I already own
Vita games - UMVC3, Uncharted, Rayman,Ninja Gaiden, (Unit 13 soon I think)

PSP Games - God Eaters Burst, Megaman, LBP, Dissidia 012, Half Minute Hero

Minis - Monsters Probably stole my princess, Lets Golf

So besides those any games that are pretty damn awesome to pick up for Vita (or PS3)?

[archnemesis]

I'd get all the PixelJunk games if they're still $1 each and then Super Stardust Delta/HD or Flower/Journey. The WipEout games are also quite awesome.

I am more surprised about the steep price for PSN titles; I am using the JPN store btw.

$60-80 for a digital title that's been out a while? Fuck that.

[Shinriji]

Minis - Where is my heart? Floating God, Prehistoric Isle
Vita - Blazblue, Mutant Blob
PSP - Castlevania Collection

Not a pain but I have noticed that your bubble arrangement will be changed back to default when you switch cards. Just be sure to power down first.

Mutant blobs is THE must have for vita.
minis: archibald's adventures, dracula undead awakening.
psp: a lot...(there are a lot of famous games, but if you want an awesome but really really really unknown gem take cristal mines)

[xKilltheMx]

Seems like Mutant Blobs is the most recommended vita title. I'll wait and see what the Ubisoft Sale has going for it and if nothing on there is worth it I'll grab Mutants. Thanks guys!

I arrived at the fourth boss(of five) at my first playthrough at normal(with 5 unused bombs and missing 1 life bonus appeared just after the third boss' defeat)... Too short and easy.

[Toki767]

Super Stardust Delta is great, but Mutant Blobs Attack just has so much charm and appeal. They really mastered the bite sized portable gaming experience with leaderboards and such.

I haven't touched the arcade mode because of endless mode :P

I love Mutant Blobs, so amazing, the ending was great too.

Mutant Blobs was just the right price, length, difficulty, ect. It was really a high point of the launch for me.

Yeah, it was exactly the type of handheld experience I want. Not so involved that I will sit there for hours. The controls and game-play were very solid. Nice to get that feel in a game after playing poorly controlled smartphone games.

Graphics were sharp, humor and music were good. It was cheap. All around a great handheld game.

I have SSHD on PS3...I'll be getting it on Vita through the 3G offer I hope. Gonna subscribe...sometime. eventually.

[patsu]

Crap... got addicted to P3P on Vita. >_< I'm supposed to be working damn it. Are the other PSP Persona games as good as the third one ?

No one answered my question, so I bought Persona 2 for my Vita this morning anyway. ^_^



Mutant Blob is my top recommendation too considering price, difficulty, length and entertainment value.

My colleague bought a Vita last week after seeing mine. But Sony, dude, you have to review your credit card registration process. He spent hours trying to buy a game from PSN on the Vita but failed.

He was trying to add more funds to his PSN account via the website, and it kept rejecting him. He was able to add $10 bucks, and then failed on the second time repeatedly when he tried to add $5 more.

Is your security check too strict now ? He also complained that the webpage kept changing his address field to an invalid value (e.g., "San Francisco" got truncated to "San"). He hasn't bought from the PSN before, so this is his first time.

I told him to try adding funds from XMB instead.

[PLASTICA-MAN]

I am playing Portal 2 now on PC after the new DLC, building new maps and testing them. I wish Valve releases Steam and Portal 2 on the Vita. The console is well suited for this game: power, touch screen to launch portals and build maps, gyro for manipulating the companion cube etc...

[Pie and Beans]

I am beginning to forget I own a Vita. E3 is going to have to be astounding. I just dont understand why Sony thought this period of barely anything and trapping the games best title all the way into June would accomplish.

Hell even activating the PS1 capabilities right now would at least bring a rush of something in. What are they doing all day... no apps like Youtube but stuff like an Alarm Clock with trophies? whyyyyyyy.

[patsu]

They added Skype, besides the Doodling app. I think the Alarm clock app is only released in Japan right ?

YouTube and Hulu Plus would be greatly appreciated here !

[PLASTICA-MAN]

no apps like Youtube but stuff like an Alarm Clock with trophies? whyyyyyyy.

That was released ONLY in Japan too.

Plants Vs Zombies costs 2.5 bucks on Steam now, there was a day when it went to 1 dolalr even, while on PSVita it's still 15 bucks. $2.5 is a reasonable price.

[sakipon]

I think the Alarm clock app is only released in Japan right ?

It's available in the Hong Kong store, and fully in English no less.

[patsu]

PvZ was free for PS+ members last September. ^_^
That's how I got it.

15 for Vita is indeed a tad expensive. You can wait for a discount (although I bought it anyway).
I believe PvZ iPad is $7.

[patsu]

It's available in the Hong Kong store, and fully in English no less.

Is Skype for Vita available in HK ?

[PLASTICA-MAN]

It's available in the Hong Kong store, and fully in English no less.

Even the japanese version is in english too, I tried it. I couldn't try the Hong Kongese one, because my Hong Kongese PSN account wasn't accepted by the Vita.

[patsu]

Is the Clock app any good ? I could use my Vita as a night stand. Last thing I do every day is to play Persona 3 in bed. XD

[Grinchy]

I'm really starting to wish you could play your audio files during PSP games. Grinding my way through Monster Hunter begs for the ability to play Stern.

[ReaperXL07]

posted this in the other thread, but i'll post it here aswell just in case, has anyone here played Valhalla Knights 2 Battle Stance? I was looking up information for it earlier, and apprently it's an open world RPG? I'm been wanting some kind of open world RPG to play on Vita, but so far I had not seen anything. Apprently though Valhalla Knights 2 is supposed to be pretty good from some reviews i've seen.

Quick Question:

Can I transfer MGS:PW from Media Go into my PS Vita?

Thanks!

[Figboy79]

I've recently become addicted to endless mode in Super Stardust. I can't stop playing it. I think I spent my entire hour long bus ride home yesterday playing it.

So far, I've only managed to get a score of 11 million. It was a glorious run, that's for sure. It was heartbreaking when I died!

[Toki767]

The Vita is not compatible with Media Go I believe.
