So after seeing the Rayman Legends trailer I was thinking about going back to Origins on my Vita and collect the remaining trophies. Turns out that my saves are gone. Now it seems like that my save data was actually stored in that bubble on the home screen and removing that bubble means deleting my save data. Now I'm not particularly mad about losing my Rayman save, but that is still a really dumb solution. How about storing something like that in a separate place and have an OCD-friendly solution that allows me to keep the home screen tidy? Or maybe I'm just missing something. Can I restore my save somewhere? When I delete a PSN game do I lose my saves, too?

I didnt know this, thats horrible, Im the same way, dont like having bubbles on screen if Im not using, ugh, oh well, least I found this out.

If you think the game cartridges are small, wait until you see the memory card. Size of a fingernail at most!

Heh, just waiting for my memory card now, I was leaving to go to ikea and just as I closed the front door a guy pulled up and gave me a box with my Vita stuff.

So now I am waiting to get home an play with it a little, even if I can't play Uncharted yet.

That slide looks really old. Both Lumines and Metal Gear Solid have their old titles.

Sounds like a mistake.

No please...just...no. do not want.

[spats]

No please...just...no. do not want.

I'd take it just so I could play a cool action game on the Vita, but it just doesn't seem plausible.

PSVita will have its revengeance

[Kafel]

Yep, it's MGS HD.

Yep, it's MGS HD.

Yep, going to be my first retail game (if it's actually 8GB).

So I've played a bit with my Vita, one question though, what's the best screen protector to get for it?

The screen is nice but the whole front is just laid bare waiting for nasty things to accidentally happen to it, and nobody likes ugly scratches and an abundance of smudges.

Hori screen/body protector. Thank me later.

[CorrisD]

Hori screen/body protector. Thank me later.

Ordered.

Though TheHut have it listed as "Usually dispatched within a month" with the estimated dispatch date being June 6th, anyone know where I could get it for around the same price of £7 but without the month+ wait?

[Gravijah]

Yep, going to be my first retail game (if it's actually 8GB).

i wonder if it would be possible to split the game into separate downloads.

New MK Vita gameplay (game comes this Tuesday):

http://www.elecplay.com/all/spotligh...terview-video/

I think it look very nice. Anyone knows how big was the game on the 360/PS3 file size wise?

[CorrisD]

Just noticed a box at the bottom of the box the Vita came in, boxes for everyone!

Ahem.. says it was some pre-order bonus with headphones and £5 off voucher for either Little Deviants, Super Stardust Delta, Hustle kings or Escape Plan, can't remember it saying this was coming with the vita, pretty nice extra.

[Number45]

Picked up Escape Plan a couple of days ago and have been putting some time into it. It's really difficult to quantify how I feel about the game - it looks great, and has some lovely charming touches (and the music is great), but the game is really hard in places. Not "oh, I can't work out how to do this" hard, but "wow, I really could use an extra hand" hard. :/

There are sections you need to multi touch the front, and to lay the Vita down is the best way to deal with it, and then the game requires you to use the back touch as well.

I'm picking this up Tuesday right when Gamestop opens. Looks like a crazy amount of content crammed on a cartridge. Is it just me or do the graphics look crappy? They look especially heinous at 54 seconds.

Something was mentioned on their podcast before that they said vita owners would be very excited about.

[SteeloDMZ]

I wouldn't say crappy, but they are definitely a noticeable step down from the console versions (those looked absolutely incredible).

Still, 60 fps and the gameplay seems to be exactly the same. I quit MK because I didn't have time to practice and it frustrated me to lose online, but I'm getting back into it since now I can carry the Vita version to train around.

[Snuggler]

Ah, thanks for the reminder, I never got around to digging my AR cards out of the box. I'll probably never use them, but at least they didn't end up getting tossed out.

Anyways, I'm buying a couple PSP games to hold me over until Gravity Rush, starting with Trails in the Sky. It may not even be Vita compatible, but I'm trying to remember the name of a game...it was Japanese, and it featured a character that had to do all sorts of different jobs. It came out a couple years ago. Kind of vague, but it's name is escaping me.

Is there anything the AR Cards do out of the box on the system without having to buy anything? I can't say I saw anything pop out at me when flicking through, but I did come across them in the Vita box and was wondering.

Can't say I can help you with the game name, I didn't touch the PSP myself and was hoping to catch up on a few titles on the Vita at some point, speaking of which the prices for some PSP games are a joke, I really don't know why publishers haven't just slashed all the prices down to try and get Vita owners to pick them up.

[Snuggler]

Not out of the box, but there are a few free AR games on the Vita store. I'm sure they're free for a reason, but I might check 'em out now that I found my cards. I downloaded the fireworks one awhile back.

[Brettison]

After playing more PSO2 with this fan made english patch I'm definitely digging the game. I could easily see myself playing this on the Vita as much as the PC too.

Give me a good deal on the system and memory cards by time PSO2 is launching in North America, and I'd buy a Vita to play PSO2 anywhere and everywhere I could with wifi.

[neptunes]

I think Kojima's next new game will have a Vita version and/or extension.

Was it Hammerin' Hero?

[Snuggler]

Was it Hammerin' Hero?

It was!



That was driving me crazy. Looks like it's compatible, I'll check the price when I can get on my PS3. After checking it out on Youtube, it doesn't look like a particularly great game but the Japanese zaniness is appealing.

[CecilMcW00t]

Hammerin' Hero is surprisingly fun. It also has some GREAT dubbing work.

[Hispanicguy]

Just came across this.

http://slickdeals.net/f/4280590-Targ...169-99-w-BONUS

At Target next week 4/29-5/5:

Buy a Vita (either version), get Unit 13 AND 4 gig memory card for free.

Man, why can't they just let you choose a free game? I don't have even the slightest interest in Unit 13. I'd be all over that deal if I could get Uncharted or Disgaea or Rayman or Katamari.

[jiggle]

after allll this time i finally got to try out a vita
first thing i did was to jump in gravity daze of course
really love how it felt in my hands
from the weight to the button layouts and analog sticks
couldn't bump up the brightness on the screen
so i wasn't as wowed by it as i thought i would be
very very impressed
too bad it has no games (yet)

[Kodiak]

I've been thinking after playing Rayman Origins that Vita could be THE place for HD sidescroller goodness. The mixture of that beautiful display with HD art ... mmm!

Imagine...
Braid
Limbo
Another World
Abe's Odyssey

Also
Rochard
Feist
Glid
Waking Mars
Spyder: The Secret of Brice Manor

Seems like a no brainer to get these types of games on PSN, and good fodder for PS3 cross play / cloud saves, and would help foster Indie development becoming attracted to the Vita.

Also, Binding of Isaac, for the love.

Actually, Abe's Odyssey HD and Stranger's Wrath HD are coming to Vita.

[Pylon_Trooper]

Actually, Abe's Odyssey HD and Stranger's Wrath HD are coming to Vita.

Abe's Oddyssey, or Munch? I mean, I'd buy any Oddworld game that came to the system, but I thought it was only Munch and Stranger at this stage. Cool if it's the case.

[Bukana]

They are porting Munch and Stranger, but they said they will start on Abe after they are done with them.

[Kenak]

Take the Unit 13 and head over to Walmart. Tell them you just got it as a gift but don't have a receipt. They'll take the game and give you a gift card for the value of the game + tax -- use that to buy whatever you want.

[chickdigger802]

So how does Ridge Racer psp hold up after all these years? Don't know where my umd is T_T.



Does it look bad in motion on vita?

[dallow_bg]

That would be lovely.

[ReaperXL07]

Look @ Slide 5 http://developer.att.com/home/commun...layStation.pdf http://www.computerandvideogames.com...-presentation/

Ohhhh lovely, will buy on Vita if it sees release. Although i'm curious how they could make it work, unless it's something different then the original game.

Also they are still pushing the Call of Duty, and Bioshock, so maybe they really will come....hopefully.

[test_account]

I tried Skype yesterday on Vita. It works pretty well, but it really surprised me that it isnt possible to add contacts directly in the app. You need to import a list from your PC i think. Other than that, it was nice :)

[Kenak]

Is anyone else having issues getting Netflix to work? I always have an error when I try to play a movie.

[Bukana]

So, how is Mutant Blobs Attack!?

no problems. It does take forever to navigate stuff and the interface is super clunky.

[Concept17]

My copy of Disgaea shows up this next week. I'm excited to have some form of RPG for mah Vita. (im new to the series)

[VanWinkle]

no problems. It does take forever to navigate stuff and the interface is super clunky.

Yeah, they really need to update it. I want the speed in interface that the PS3 has, and it shouldn't be an issue whatsoever. Very very slow. I will say the video quality on it is fantastic, though.

Man, I tell ya guys. E3 can't come soon enough. I want to hear many game announcements. I want to know that Sony is going to stay serious with this thing.

[dallow_bg]

So, how is Mutant Blobs Attack!?

One of the best games currently on the system.

[BHK3]

Basically, if you want top-notch emulation by M2 and a huge amount of options for setting your game up how you want it, go for the Neo Geo Station versions. You can display the games in Dot-By-Dot mode which looks beautiful on the OLED screen. You can change the region to enable blood effects. You are limited to 4 credits. However, you can enable memory card save in options so you can pick up at the stage you died in. No loading once the game starts. The anthology version is cool if you don't care about the emulation being perfect. There is even an art gallery included. But be warned, there is loading time in these versions of the games.

Thanks, good to know.

This. The NGS releases are about as pure as it gets, but the release schedule seems to have dried up, so if you want the entire series you might want to go with the big collection.

This is my main issue though. I don't want to wait for a once a year metal slug title. This is just like the whole import ps1 games thing on psn, cool idea, no god damn support....

[Kenak]

no problems. It does take forever to navigate stuff and the interface is super clunky.

Odd. I didn't work for me before, so I wrote it off as my internet. I recently got a new ISP/router, and I'm still having the issue.

[Kodiak]

Excellent. Buy without hesitation.
