I played it a bunch on my PS3, but don't really feel like rebuying it for the Vita because I can't use my old save. That's a bit of a shame.

I really think cross-game saves between PS3 and Vita versions of the same games should be a standard that Sony need to force on developers (just like trophies) even when the games are not cross-buy,just make it possible to transfer your saves and get them to work between the two systems.

Reason Strangers Wrath isn't cross save is because JAW couldn't get the save file compressed enough to meet Sony regulations. They really tried...

I would eat a Folklore Vita port up since I never got to play it (just the demo) and my PS3 is dead.
Oh my god yes, this this this.

I have it on PS3, still need to finish though. One of my favorite PS3 games. Pains me they have ignored the franchise since.

Nariko only has one game and she's a "PlayStation All-Star" so I don't see why Ellen has been overlooked, especially when the game could use more female stars. Maybe there just wasn't as much demand for her/she isn't as widely known.

Well i'm not sure about gold but i'd pay for Folklore with trophies on vita;)

Sony is really missing nice amount of free and easy money here,they can re port the entire first three years of PS3 (20006/07/08 when PS3 was $599/$399 and people were avoiding like the plague) Folklore,Warhawk,Resistance FOM,Untold Legends,MotorStorm,Siren: Blood Curse..ect many people even PS3 owners didn't get the chance to buy these games, but Sony is just too stupid to do this.

I remember reading a rumor that that SCEA didn't even wanted to not publish it like Demon's Souls, but thank to one executive who was pushing it and liked the game they did. (it was during one of Sony's gamers days)

Then again SCE just rejected the the sequel and let GR and Folklore to die :(

Ellen can be the game Pokemon Trainer since she summon and fight with monsters.

But I doubt that Superfail guys even know what Folklore is.

Well Heavenly is well over million seller while Folklore i'm not sure if it reached 500k :(

There are a few categories for me

1) simple time killers like jetpac joyride that function equally well on a vita or iPad and don't need buttons. I'll most likely get these on iPad.

2) games like money ball that work much better with buttons but have a huge price differential. I just won't buy these on either platform. Ios controls aren't as good, and vita price are too high

3) games I love which need buttons but the price gap is still quite high (eg JSR). These I'll decide if the vita price is ok and then buy. I won't use the ios price as a measuring stick because everything there is almost forced to be $1-2

4) games only on vita - well duh.

I understand, same for the most part but when the games are 99p (christmas sales), I can't resist and end up surprising myself with how much fun they can be (pick up super monkey balll 2 on mobile- I have both versions). Also JSR is cheap on Vita! It doesn't really count as iOS!

Folklore is an epic fail and is going to bomb hard on the vita just like it did on the ps3,visually the 3ds could do better.

Sequel
The now defunct Game Republic was planning a PSP or download only Move compatible Folklore sequel and had pitched the idea to Sony. The idea was well received by Sony but due to poor sales of the original Folklore weren’t keen to green light the project which failed to pass the internal review board at Sony by a few points.

It's a shame. Sony should try to revitalize it with a new game now that the PS3's userbase is huge, or just re-release it like Toto said. Then you could have SuperBot put her into PSASBR and raise awareness of Ellen. If they gave her a kick-ass moveset I'm sure more people would be willing to check out her game.

Yeah it's not bad but definitely obvious it wasn't designed as a touchscreen or mobile game. Same with max Payne and gta 3. They've done very well to adapt the controls but the games still deserve proper controls.. Can't expect them to charge iOS prices for them on vita - feels like they are only that cheap on iOS DUE to the controls (and sale) if you know what I mean. - sorry typing on phone.


Also sonic racing transformed is a lot of fun online, and very well implemented vs and matchmaking.

How would that raise awareness? the game is a major bomba,has it outsold folklore yet?

Don't put too much attention to sales thereads ;) Just because it sold 90k in first month in USA it doesn't mean it won't be a milion or two seler once Sony is done with all their bundling and price dropping.

I haven't been following PSASBR sales. Is it that bad?
It sold terribly the last month worldwide,i believe it has topped folklore (if that was possible) on the bomba scale.

I don't pay much attention to them and i don't think this game will ever recover.

I've seen extremely mixed reviews on AC:L, but with it being on sale on PSN this weekend, I'm intrigued.

What's GAF's opinion?

That its better than what the bad reviews suggest it to be. If you can take framerate dips, and sections hovering around 20-25 FPS more often than not, its a fun game. It is AC on a handheld, and I am still a bit surprised it looks as good as it does at times, weird filter or not.

LBP recovered from 300k first NPD month to 4milions ;)

Some here think it's trash, some others think it's great.

I think it's a flawed yet a full decent AC experience on handheld,the game try new ideas and win in some but fail in others, but it's better than AC3 at least.

Just didn't want to start a new thread.

But what is the best place to buy a vita from now? Didn't target reduce the price (199 wifi model? its just not online but i think it is instore). If anyone can point in the right direction, i have a bad case of vita fever and need to grab one.

I warned you guys before.

VitaGaf should listen to me more often.
But your post on it doesn't make sense. The gameplay isn't broken at all, it's just not that much fun. The online community, which could have potentially given it some more points, seems very dead.

The main hook just becomes too much of a slog and there aren't many rewards to be had, neither through loot or story, nor even through presentation (the levels lack a lot of detail).

I bought it on the super cheap so I'm not that mad about it but yeah, there are just too many other games that I could be playing on it (Strangers Wrath for one).

If you're willing to go used, Amazon has the AC bundle in "Very Good" condition for ~$175. That's where I purchased mine...

Edit: Amazon Warehouse Deals I mean

I just noticed I own Castlevania SOTN on my Vita account.

:-o

I should play that.

So it sounds like you wouldn't recommend the AC:L + AC3:G bundle?

Appreciate the opinions, all.

If you're buying it today and today only Best Buy has the wifi version with a $50 gift card. The Bestbuy website has the COD bundle with the $50 gift card as well, pretty sure it doesn't ring up in stores but you can just have them match their own website.

And Amazon is still running all the Vitas with a free copy of Zero's Escape VLR. Or you can go with that warehouse Vita that was mentioned a couple posts above.

If you love everything AC, you'll still probably enjoy AC3 to be honest. Its not the best in the series, but its also not the worst.
