Oh, that's niceDont know if this is old but an update is available for golden abyss, change log says that the game wont put the Vita in offline mode anymore.
So what is GAFs general consensus, wifi or 3G model?
Three months in and I'm still trying to figure out how near works. Is it always triangulating your position on WiFi, even if you're not connected to a specific wifi network?
I went to a Playstation event on Tuesday and never took the Vita out of my bag yet I got a near hit.
A couple of months ago, I went on a business trip to Israel. I couldn't get my Vita to connect to the wifi in the hotel at all while I was there yet when I came back and connected to the wifi at home it showed that I had traveled to Israel and gave me some discoveries from that region.

You can change settings - but yes if you observe your vita when it's in sleep mode it will blink blue LED from time to time - it's a sign of wi-fi activity as it updates data from/to Near.
I always get plenty of hits when i take mine to work or my university and it's full of discoveries later.
Out of curiousity, is there much use to this? Uncharted is a purely single player game anyway.Dont know if this is old but an update is available for golden abyss, change log says that the game wont put the Vita in offline mode anymore.

Heres how it works:
Obtaining Location:
near uses GPS if you have the 3G model, if not (or no signal) it uses wifi triangulation. for triangualtion you don't actually need to connect to the hotspot. since all the vita needs is the unique IDs of the hotspot(s)

Near, if set to automatic, will grab your location every 30 mins, if your position has changed, it'll mark down the new location. If you press the near button, it'll also record the location then and there. (can be done once every hour, or something like that.)
you'll notice the near button has a ring that fills up blue a portion of the way. that indicates how many locations have been marked down.
note: interenet connection is not required for recording the location.
Syncing with server:
when you press the near button, the vita will upload all the saved locations to the near servers. it'll compare each location with the time it was recorded to determine how many vita units were near by. get gifts. etc.
obviously, you'll need internet connection to sync.
--
on the history page where it lists every saved location. theres a footprint next to each listing. A white footprint means it was an automatic location saved, and black footprint means manual location save.(ie; pressed near button)
To use the GPS in the 3G model, does the 3G network have to be connected?
I haven't signed up for a data plan, so I've gone in to Settings and disabled the 3G network (in hopes to save on battery life). Would this keep Near from being able to detect my location when I'm out and about?
GPS in theory should work fine on getting your position without 3G and save it for later use, but Near can't update itself with your and other peoples positions without some sort of data connection whether it is wifi or 3G.
Thanks. I was hoping that Near would remember where it had been and then upload it the next time I was on WiFi. Oh well, not worth getting 3G for.
^yeah, thats exactly what happens.
Does anyone know of any good back protector filter/films out there? I have the hori film on the front but would like somethhing on the back to prevent scratches when i set it down on tables and such.

Strange, I've taken my Vita with me on a couple of trips around town but when I get home and "synchronize" with Near it thinks I haven't left my house, e.g. distance travelled < 1 km.
I've had it with me out and about for several hours. Guess I should see how often the auto updates are configured for. I thought it was something like every 30 mins.
Virtual tennis is pretty much the only thing I play on vita these days. 60fps native res with no noticeable visual compromises.Virtua Tennis is the best game there by a mile
Have you VT4 guys played MLB? After The Show I stopped playing all the other sports games. It's phenomenal.
As I had to play through the section again anyway, I thought I'd screenshot the dialogue in Corpse Party for your delight (please ignore the state of the Vita!):
The Show port is shit. I got rid of it and got the PS3 version instead. Vita version has 3DS tier graphics and the analogs suck for pitching.Have you VT4 guys played MLB? After The Show I stopped playing all the other sports games. It's phenomenal.
So, I have $30 bucks left on my SEN account and I'm pretty set on getting two Ys games, but I can't decide which combo to get first? I'll eventually get the third later on. Suggestions?
Edit: nvm, just realized only oath in felghana and ys seven are compatible.

xDUh, what the.
That's great. Was kinda hoping to see the aiming issue addressed though :|
Heard framerate issues. Found the psp ports to be pretty bad.
Sell me on it!

You sure? I could buy all three directly from the vita store. I have an EU account though, so maybe Ys chronicles is not available in the US.
