Origins doesn't have any gimmicky gameplay, it's a pure platformer; plain and simple.

Legends improves on Origins in terms of graphics and such and adds in Murfy levels -- levels that have you tilting the vita and using touch to change the level as the CPU moves AI player(s) through the stage.

Have you done the ultimate hell known as the Gravity Slide challenge in one of the DLC packs? :D

You can upload them to the cloud.
If you don't see them in the "auto" list for enablement, it means you need to have the card in the slot to do the upload, most likely.

Entirely dependent on if you can handle the 30fps with slowdown at times combined with some infuriating bow controls.
If you can look past that and see a price you're comfortable paying, sure.
Free on PS+ was good enough that I played through it once. I haven't put much time in it since then though... to many better games to play that don't have technical issues.
I have all 3 'sigma' type games on PS3 -- if I'm getting that NG itch and I don't need it to be on Vita, I'm definitely going to boot NGS, NGS2, or NG3:RE on my console.

My bad, it was a health checkpoint race.
But there's a bit at the end where gravity slide needs to be spot on if you're going to make the gold. Pain in the ass.

If you like the others you'll probably like this from what I hear. One big issue I've been having is accidentally entering first person view by bumping the touch screen while using the sticks. Sucks that they don't let you turn off the front touch controls completely.

Thanks to Frost and rCIZZLE for your views. I also have Sigma 1 and 2 on PS3, so it would be for pure novelty value of cutting fools and unlocking stuff on the go. I'll probably wait until it drops in price.

It's probably OK since they use Paypal to process credit cards. My beef was with their account system. No SSL certificate means account details (address, phone, email address, passwords) are sent out in the open over the Internet, unencrypted, ready for the taking by anyone with a packet sniffer. I'm exaggerating a bit, but it's still not safe and they should really fix that.

Yowza, well at worst I'll be getting ads and promos via e-mails which I'll just dump to my spam folder =P
Will double check that my cc details aren't stored in my account and hopefully nothing weird will happen in the future. I might just use them for the 64 GB only and grab JPN PSN codes from Japan codes or play asia.

Man, I was going to jump on the $20 16GB card at Gamestop, but I didn't know you needed to do a system restore every time you want to switch accounts. That sounds like a real pain in the ass. I'll just import physical copies I guess.

Really Sony, if you're going to make the system region free to begin with... *sigh* I guess it's better than region lock.

At least Sonic & All Stars Racing is coming up on PS+...

Yeah, it's nuts. Their logic is that a handheld is a more personal device than a home console even though plenty of families share their handhelds. I hope they'll make the process of switching accounts less cumbersome in the future but I really doubt it.

So we'll probably hear about it soon then?

Haven't heard much about it since it's announcement. I think there was just a "we're working on it" or "it's still in development" type "update" sometime this year, but that's about it.

I don't like a lot of modern games' and the way we have to 'retry' things.

If you die, it shouldn't have to re-load the whole thing. D:< Instant retries need to be standard. D;

Love Gravity Rush though.

From what I've heard, I think the performance is supposed to be worse than NGS+ with worse graphics. That's just something I can't tolerate. I'll try it if it ever comes to PS+, but for the price and what's offered? No thanks.

The graphics were fine for me in NGS2+ and the first few chapters were perfectly fine in the framerate. It's when you get to those [spoiler]flying demon enemies in the city[/spoilers] that's when I had the framerate issues start. And that's when I stopped playing.

Platinum'd The Amazing Spider-Man yesterday. Forgot that after 500 comics you get a map helper, so when you're close to comics on the map they show up as yellow dots.

Overall had fun with it despite it's problems, but it was certainly not worth $40.

Framerate drops a lot in later stages, and framerate dips a lot in the open world (duh) but it's really bad in the car chase side missions and the boss battles in the open world. I don't know why they put so many damn cars in the game, those are probably wy the car chases drop so much. Your on the hood of the car and the framerate drops like crazy as it drives past a bajillion cars (even drove through a van in one of them).

It's also missing content from the vanilla PS3 version. No Iguana level, no blimp races. :\

And generally the game is ugly. Spider-Man looks great, but most everything else looks 'meh'. The other humans look bad. So bad. And textures from far away look like complete crap, looks better close up though. It's nice that it's still open world at least, unlike the 3DS version.

So missing content, no extra DLC content included (like Wii U got), $40 a year later. Seems legit, Activision.

Unless it's like the international version then I don't see it having dual language support. It might be when there is an Asian release because those typically feature dual Language stuff.

From what I read this seems to be the case, that it takes its cues from the International Versions of the games

Also downloaded Legends :D thanks!!!

I finally got around to trying The Walking Dead. I haven't played it on any other platform before.

I'm done with this already. I picked touch controls, which was fine up until the first zombie encounter in the house, but I have no idea what the game wants me to do here. I tried 'dodging' with the analog stick as well as swiping a direction away from the zombie when it lunges... no matter what I do, it doesn't work. I must have tried 20+ times.

More space on the memory card.

I'm saddened when I look at all the games on my Vita that have gone untouched or unfinished. I decided to take a hard line and cut back on my purchases. I picked up the PS Plus for $30 promo and will collect those games but thats it.

Here is a list of games on my Vita's 32gb stick

untouched

Strangers Wrath
Dokuro
Persona 2 EP
Final Fantasy 3
Growlanser Wayfarer
Front Mission 3
Chrono Trigger
Vagrant Story
FF VI
Lego Batman 2
Sine Mora

Games Unfinished

Assassins Creed Liberation
Disgaea 3
EDF Portable
Hotline Miami
Dragons Crown
UMvsC3
Walking Dead
Atelier Totori
Soul Sacrifice
Muramasa
Katamari
Valkyria Chronicles 2
Tactics Ogre
FF Tactics (started another playthrough)
Guacamelee
Persona 3 portable
Castlevania SoTN
Corpse Party
various Zen pinball tables

I feel guilty having that many games unfinished on there staring at me everyday. Almost makes me sick.

I understand thats the argument used for it, but I still don't see it. There is literally not enough time in the day to be micromanaging that many games on even a monthly basis. As I pointed out above that is literally, right now all the games I have on a 32gb and except for Hotline, Sine Mora and I believe Muramasa they have been on my card for 6+ months, the vast majority a year. Play your damn games, stop wasting time managing them and just play them.
