Yeah, I found the NW compound, but the pirate dudes flip over me and I can't seem to grab them to use them as a shield. It's very annoying.

Pirates?

I upload you a pic on a better location

Anyone having a lot of trouble with NEAR lately?!

I swear it used to work probably 4 in 5 attempts before, but now (and maybe coincidentally) since 2.01, it almost literally won't connect at all. I think I've been able to refresh NEAR and update my location once.

I still seem to receive Game Goods (currently getting challenges in WipEout and such) overnight, but whenever I boot NEAR up to respond to said challenges, or update the location, it fails.

All my options are enabled correctly, permissions right etc. Any ideas?

so I just posted in a different thread and it hit me: Sony might have gotten the 'page turning' idea for it's Vita OS from old Nintendo box art :p

Didn't one of the designers say that each time you boot it up, that 'page sliding' means another chapter of your life begins, like it's a book; hence, Vita=Life, or am I mistaken it for something else?

I've tried there (the Governor's Mansion) as well. The dudes will come out instead of forming a firing line. Unless you mean go to that lower corner.

lure some guys from the across field and your suppose to have some distance between you and the guards for them to shoot at you.

Somehow I got one. I can't get Aveline to grab them, or even attempt to grab them. To where they get shot in the back on their own. :/
 
Notice you playing a lot of WipEout lately, Oshi (got your NEAR challenge the other night, but couldn't send my challenge back to you).

Started on the HD/Fury campaigns yet?

I was amazed just how much I've gotten into it after having very little interest (and not really "gelling" with the WipeOut style of racing) on the PS3.

2048 is beautiful though, looks so much better than the HD/Fury stuff. Sol course = godly.

When someone has their sight set on you and is in firing position then press the button (I can't recall which button, I think triangle)

X, and got another (I think, stats aren't updating) but grabbing others among the crowd is impossible. Aveline won't grab them at all despite me waiting for the triangle to show up to grab them.
 
I don't think any of this are compatible on the vita right now or even on the vita store in NA. Can someone confirm? I'm interested in purchasing these if they work too.
I know PeaceWalker is compatible, but has to be purchased through the PS3 store. The problem with this is I think its still full price from when it first released.

What are the chances of PeaceWalker HD coming to Vita (i mean cmon its out in japan already)?


Konami really shooting themselves in the foot right now. I image there are tons of gamers out there right now with MGS fever after all these announcements.

Why woul you want it for $25? IIRC Portable Ops+ is just online stuff and then a graphics novel... Seems overpriced to me at least.
 
Question:

Gravity Rush -- I'm near the end
(mission 20)
... if I go through with the final areas, will the game allow me to finish the challenges and stuff post game or do I have to do it now?

Update to Street Fighter X Tekken video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QysODgaIIbY

All signs point to Vita getting the patch along with PS3 and 360, but I'm not sure if they have confirmed it 100%.


The only one I know of that is in question is PC and that's a question of "how long after the console patch?" normally.

You should be good. I had to go back after I beat the game to beat challenges and side missions that I didn't complete before.

The game allows you to choose to do the challenges (and other things) post game i.e. they can be done anytime you choose.

So just to confirm, there's free roam after you complete the final mission?

Just bought Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 plus, Muramasa, and Soul Sacrifice for $212.00. Yeeeeeaaahhhh buddy

Holy shit. That's over $60 a game, man!

yo isn't it so awesome we get those campaigns for free if we hv the PS3 ver.? so stoked for holidays so I can get started on those.

I feel like wipeout plays so much better on handhelds than consoles.

haha Sol = godly indeed. Altima on the other hand... x_x

edit: everytime I turn on the Vita the game reminds me that you've been most of my high scores... stahp MARVEL STAHP

Yup, excellent addition.

Could just be that, or maybe I didn't give it enough time originally before giving it up, but it's just clicked now and I can't stop playing it.

Altima is terrible (or rather I'm just terrible at it). I feel like it doesn't flow at all though. That last Combat event at Altima in the 2050 season was tough to Elite Pass.

I just got my Vita on Black Friday and downloaded Wipeout from PS Plus. When I went to dl the PS3 campaigns it seemed to suggest that I needed to purchase the Online Pass for them to work. Is this the case?

Just seen your edit lol..
You still have me on most of the Zone and Combat events, I'm terrible at the Zone Events. I have been using that Combat Prototype ship lately though, that thing is incredible. Have to revisit some events with that!

You unlocked all the Prototypes yet? Think I've only got two - going to have to look up the unlock requirements.

when I had a PS3 I only enjoyed unlocking new ships/skins in HD/Fury and the racing didn't appeal to me very much. but then again, I'm not much of a racing fan. prior to wipeout the only racing games I rmmbr playing are GT5 Prologue and mario kart 64 lol.

I think it's great on the Vita because I can play it in extremely short bursts. but on my PS3 I'd rather play something I can really sink my teeth in... but I don't have a PS3 right now.

playing combat online is the funniest though. no one really races; the gamemode ends up just being jousting back and forth with multiple ships floating over yellow pads where everyone just hope to get quake.

edit: got the third one... lol n zones tire me out. imo it's the worst part of the game. since tests your racing consistency it gets frustrating once you hit A+/Mach 1... that Mach 1.5 trophy is gonna be balls.

So am I still unable to buy PS1 games off of PSN and play them on my VITA?

For example, can I play Final Fantasy 9 on my Vita since I own it on PSN???




If not then WTF IS SONY THINKING!!!! Sure developers arent tripping over themselves trying to make games for the vita, so why not unleash the titlewave of games available on PSN for it???

I know that if the answer is yes I can play ALL of my PS1 games on the Vita, well this little big dude is getting himself a Vita tomorrow along with my friend Josh who has this same question / desire.


Thanks in advance for your answers.

I think that was pretty much the same for me too. Loved the concept, the ship designs and even the tracks, but the appeal of the racing never really sunk in.

Haha awesome! I haven't been online with it yet (probably should though).

I think the furthest I've gotten has been Mach 1.2, so yeah, I can't imagine getting to Mach 1.5, that'll be ridiculous and probably something I'll never achieve.
 
I get down for this Vita shit bro

Apparently. Thank you. You're a better vitabro than I am; my CAG side always looking for the deal and bargain basement. I want all 3 games you preordered (NGS2+ pending its framerate).. but I doubt I'll pay $40 for any except maybe Soul Sacrifice.

Yes, and you can revisit areas like you probably already know.

Yeah, that part I knew... I've already gotten all the rare Nevi trophies and the lost couple trophy (and gold cleared all the challenges in the village warp)... I was going to finish up the game before I did the rest of the challenges for trophies, but when I got the standard "finish up your shit, because it's about to get real" warning, it made me want to double check with others before I did something to fuck up my chances of getting my platinum. Time to beat the game, I guess. Thanks!

whatever PS1 games you have on PSN will work on the Vita as long as the title is compatible with the Vita.

check out this thread just to be sure.

to find them, similarly to the post above, just check out your download history on the Vita; it should be there

PS1 games are supported (yes, games that you already own). I play in Japan where pretty much everything ever for PS1 is supported, so I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure North American and European support is good.

I know FF9 works for sure.

Or in some cases, you have to download them on PS3 (do not install) and transfer them using CMA while they are still in bubble form.

I have bubbles for the 4 Crash games and the 2 R-Types waiting for compat to update. >_<

aye, this is true. check out the thread I linked for deets.

I just want to try the games as i've missed out on them since I was never a psp owner. I thought the digital novel looks pretty damn cool and I imagine it would look better on the Vita screen.

Its definitely overpriced which is why Konami/Sony needs to fix this shit. I would have impulse bought it earlier today, but alas I see my backlog and my wallet rationally now. I just started MGS2vita which will do for now.
 
Yoshida-san is on planes all the freakin' time. He probably did that during 80+ flights hours and time spent in hotels while his wife and kids were back in Japan.

I think we're pretty lucky the guy loves games and Twitter so much.

But I'm a Yukiko man myself, so he can go to hell!
 
In regards to fighters, what is the consensus between Tekken x SF or Mortal Kombat?

For background, Ive never been very good at fighters, but I have tried them. I couldnt get into UMvsC on Vita because it felt so static and barebones (if that makes sense). Also, I prefer some sorta of plot and narrative to help keep me moving along...even if its too over the top and makes no sense (think: Dissidia or DefJam). I just want a sexy looking, and fun and easy to get into fighter game, with an insane story and sense of humor.

Suggestions?

Can anyone help me with Uncharted....
the "QTE"/swipe fight with
dante

I am on crushing so one screw up fails it. I find the fight to be very easy for for some reason it isn't recognizing one motion. At the point towards the middle/end of the fight when you have to swipe West-North in one motion, then after than West-South, for some reason everytime I fail the West-South swipe. I have tried at least 15 times and have no beat this part once. Is there some trick to this one particular swipe? Any thoughts?

If you want plot, you'll love mortal kombat. Best story mode in fighting game.
