Seeking something with depth and longevity. Don't care too much about story, but appreciate good characters and require challenging gameplay. I know that Tactics Ogre is probably the obvious choice given my love of SRPGs and branching plot lines, but Trails in the Sky has a cult following on this site. Not sure if I should go for the clear winner or see what all the fuss is about. Edit: Think I'll go with Tactics Ogre. Trails in the Sky fans, please don't hurt me :(

You can always get TiTS later.

[xKilltheMx]

Thank god I was starting to think people were actually doing sending them to me. Near notifications are starting to feel like Wolf Tickets though. Every time I pick up my Vita it's "sweet new game goods!" The only reason I go in there now is to accept/delete them.

HOW DO YOU DELETE THEM?! I KEEP GETTING THE SAME ONES I ALREADY DOWNLOADED. UGHHHHHHH

[Koroviev]

Planning on it. :)

[Eusis]

But now we'll never get Trails in the Sky 2!

Actually if a single sale determined that we'd be screwed anyway.

Aren't they releasing a Legend of Heroes for Vita in Japan?

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

That's the fourth game. We haven't gotten the second one (yet).

[Koroviev]

Yeah, I know. It's just interesting to see Japanese companies finally migrating some of the flagship series to new hardware.

[PumpkinPie]

Anyone tried the matt Hori protector vs the glossy one?

[Ponn01]

Planning on it. :)

You'll be happy with Tactics Ogre for serious though. I've been playing my game from PSP a year ago to Vita now and still haven't beaten it. Theres lots of depth there if you like that.

[RpgN]

Ugh, I hate the fact that Sony still haven't fixed the store with regards to the file size of demo's and other content. There's a 8gb card in the vita I'm borrowing (with a plan to buy, wanted to check it out first) and I'm awfully tempted to drop the money for both Uncharted and Hot Shots, but I've no idea if the mem card is big enough for both of them. I'll be damned if I'm paying first. Idiots, such a simple addition and they can't even be bothered. Anyway, can anyone tell if the 6gb left on the card is enough to download both?

Uncharted is around 3,4 gb. Hot Shots is around 1,3 gb. You should be fine with a 6gb :)

Certainly do! Have nearly 70 hours in Devil Survivor 2 and still have at least 2 more playthroughs to do.

Awesome, we share tastes in games then. I put Kid Icarus on hold on my 3DS because i'm having a blast with Devil Survivor Overclocked. I was debating getting Devil Survivor 2 or wait and see if they do a version for 3DS. I still having beaten PE3P either, that is still sitting on my Vita. Handheld overload.

[Speedymanic]

Awesome, will be downloading them tonight. Must say, it's an incredibly impressive piece of tech, the screen alone is pretty breathtaking and the added bonus of having a pretty large selection of PSP titles is great for those long droughts.

Ghosts of Sparta for example - incredible. Awfully tempted to pick up Chains as well. Shame the Valkyria games aren't on there yet.

Overclocked is excellent. I'm on Day 6, preparing to face Belial. Overclocked did very poorly in sales, so I wouldn't hold my breath for an enhanced edition of Devil Survivor 2. Barring Atsuro, I really prefer the cast of Devil Survivor 2.

I'm going to pick up P3P at some point, but not until I finish FES on PS3.

And handhelds are awesome. Much easier to pick up and play throughout the day. My poor PS3 hasn't been turned on in weeks :(

[Number45]

If I want to backup individual games on the Vita, I assume I just use the Content Manager and go through Copy Content > Applications > Applications and then select the games? And this backs up both installed data and saves?

Want to back up and remove some games, but I'm not too fussed about backup up everything.

[Drame]

Grabbed Gods Eater Burst after the positive impressions from this thread and it is indeed a nice little MonHun game.

I actually prefer the more laid back and faster action compared to Monster Hunter's tactical aproach and having a story in MonHum game is a plus too. The second analog stick really does wonders for the MonHun games in general. So much easier to play for my hands, no more claw-grip!

So far I haven't encountered anything hard like, say, Tigrex during the couple first runs. But think I'll get my butt handed to me sooner or later.

Two thumbs up for Gods Eater.

Valkyria II is around for 22 bucks with all DLC if you search, GOW:CO is good but way too short....

[Speedymanic]

One last thing, I'm sure the majority already have it, but if you own one of those beauties and haven't bought Mutant Blob, you don't deserve nice things.

Incredible game, didn't think much of the PS3 release (well, didn't play it all that much), but I'm positively hooked on the vita version. Now here's hoping they bring TerRover over.

I was looking earlier, but didn't see it. Thanks for the heads up.

[Sleeplessnights]

I'm near the end at both Uncharted and Rayman Origins. I was looking for a new game to get but not sure what, any recommendations? A game with progression would preferable but not exclusively so.

[dallow_bg]

Quick question.

My friend was using his BT headset to play online with me.
He said he could only get the game audio to output via the headset, and not the Vita.

Is there a way?

[catabarez]

If those are physical games, are you willing to sell one of them? :P

[spats]

Noticed that PlayMemories Studio works via Remote Play, for what that's worth :P

[chickdigger802]

curious how Trials looks on vita.

Ys 7 looks awful imo.

And with near zero chance of the sequels coming out on psn (weird dual UMD thing). I'd probably just wait it out for the inevitable steam port (with better framerate and effects).

Remote play. What exactly will this allow me to do if I set it up?

[see5harp]

You can't. Brilliant, I know. I just keep downloading already downloaded tracks so that they don't show up as a number.

Yeah, I can't really justify the Ys games on Vita when they look so nice on PC.

[spats]

You can control your ps3 through your Vita. Certain psn games and all ps1 games are playble using it.

I'm in bed about to go to sleep but I set my ps3 to download the Dragon's Dogma demo, so it's occasionally pretty nifty for things like that. Vido streaming is nice too.

[Snuggler]

After trying it for the first time recently, I don't think it's something I'd bother with often due to the poor image quality and lag, but it is pretty neat that I can watch videos that are on my PC by using the PS3's Windows Media Center through Remote Play. All three of my favorite tech toys working in harmony...it's a beautiful thing.

I only do this to start up downloads on the PS3 from the bathroom (yeah I am that impatient) or if the tv is being used.

Bah, is the lag really bad? I had an idea to play SH1 in bed. The video thing sounds great though.

I think that does it, I'll be informing my mate that I'm interested. Incredible piece of tech.

To be fair, I haven't done much gaming via remote play outside of like 10 minutes with PixelJunk Eden. My experience with lag was mostly in navigating the XMB. It probably just depends on how sensitive you are to it.

Remote Play is only really practical for viewing media. The number of games that support it, and the lag performance (currently anyway) is not really very good for games. Movies and such obviously can buffer.

Probably the neatest trick with RP is that it works with DLNA servers that are connected. i.e. my Mac is serving up DLNA to the PS3, so I can stream anything the PS3 can see on my main media drive to anywhere in the world on the Vita via the internet.

[BackwardsSuggestions]

Got mine Yesterday from work. Using Staff Discount I got 10% off everything and also got accidental cover on it from work. I tend to drop things alot.

I never found it to be viable for viewing media due to how blurry everything looked. Now that I got smart phones and tablets that can stream shit better, remote play pretty much only exists for traditional controls for Lair back in the day ;P

playing works fine with Remote Play, at least it did for Final Fantasy V, but it's far from optimal. Proper emulation should come soon, propably around E3 if I had to venture a guess. Such a shame they had to ship the system without native Ps1 support.

I'd love for this to happen. Playing SH1 or Legacy of Kain on the go would be a dream come true.

Motorstorm RC is good (especially for a free game)
Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus if you havent played the original
UMVC3. Maybe this is just me but I have never got into fighters unless it was a handheld.
Tekken: Dark Ressurection on PSP <3
Since there's no Tekken on Vita yet UMVC3 is my fix.

double edit:
Decided to look up Tekken 6 from PSP... still 40 dollars on PSN. Fuck you Namco Bandai. Fuck you right in the pooper.
Shit it's not just Tekken they still have Ace Combat Joint Assualt at 40 too. Holy shit Namco Bandai needs to drop these damn prices.

[thepotatoman]

I just saw on Reddit that apparently a glitch allowed some Europeans to purchase and download a PS1 game.





Hopefully the store page is a little more evidence that PSOne games purchased for the PSP or PS3 will still work with Vita and it wont be a separate purchase/download.

Oh wow I hope it's coming soon I've been dying to play some PS1 games on there. First game I'm playing is Chrono Cross lol

[xenoflux2113]

I am loving UMVC3 on this system but man how in the hell am I supposed to do some of these missions without a fight stick? The Analog stick and buttons can be cumbersome to try and pull of some of those combos.

[BattleMonkey]

Once I can play PSone games on a Vita, I will be buying one

[brentech]

Yeah, I'm waiting it out since remote play apparently isn't all that spectacular. Hopefully it will get done.

Skype app on the Japanese store, anyone saw that? Looks pretty good and functional too.

If this is true, I will fuckin rage and abandon Sony if this happens. I already bought a PSone game and tied it to my account and I need to buy it again?!

I hope we get more fighting games for the Vita.I would love to see a Street Fighter game on it.

More games in general. I'm really excited for Gravity Rush, but I keep having to remind myself that it won't be available until mid June :(

surprised how many people will be sold on vita due to ps1 support.

Why did y'all skip out on psp when that got ps1 support?
