What's the easiest way to share screenshots with Vita?

Oh boy!

January's NA PS+ games for Vita are... Worms and Smart As...

Let the outrage begin!

I'm actually very happy with Smart As, that's the perfect Plus game for me: something I want to play but not necessarily spend money on. The big games that impress people, like Bioshock Infinite, are usually games I already played anyway.
 
Vitagaf: Just wanted to say how wonderful Bit.trip Runner 2 is on Vita. It's perfect for the handheld. You should buy it. Especially for dat last world.

Even for people who played it on PS3 cause it was free with ps+, it's waaay better on vita IMO. Simply because of the non existent lag on the OLED screen. Makes a world of difference in this game compared to your regular big screen tv lag.

Visuals are great
Framerate is great
Music is phenomenal

Only $8
Best money I've spent in a while.

Spent $40 on AC4 and regretted it 2hrs later

Just saw a pretty great advert here on TV during the independence day movie commercial break on BBC4? It was the Vita! Showed a tiny bit of tearaway, killzone, and remote play well. Good price too, bundle with killzone for £150 I think (at Game).

Solid stuff. Needs a lot more of course but I'm just happy to see there's at least A advert out there here.

After playing Vita for the first time...

1. Why does Sony even make 4GB cards?

2. I first downloaded Uncharted, shooting is fun, but everything else sucks (climbing, print making, taking pictures...). I uninstalled it after playing for 30min because all I was doing was climbing rocks and taking pictures. WTF is this non-since, where's the action?

3. Screen is great, watching Netflix on Vita & Wii U gamepad is like night & day, colors are brilliant!, and blacks are as black as the Vita itself.

4. Gravity Rush was installed next (can only have 1 game installed at a time). This is pretty fun and interesting, as Japanese games tend to be. Looking forward to playing more of this.

I bought Smart As... back when they had the sale on it for somewhere between $10 and $15. I was hoping for Brain Age, but it's a mediocre knockoff at best. Too many things use Vita gimmicks including the camera (no!) and AR cards (double no!). Tilt puzzles that require precision... inconsistent gesture recognition, especially since you do not have a stylus and must write with your index finger. John Cleese becomes annoying after awhile and the daily challenges are locked at the medium difficulty which, as you gain skill/familiarity makes it more tedious and boring to do daily challenges than fun/worthwhile/engaging.

After a few weeks, I only played to get the trophies. After I got the platinum, I deleted the game and never plan to put it back on my card. Add it to that list of "regretted" purchases with Malicious Rebirth, Hotshots Golf, and a few others for me.

Luckily, you get it for free... but I don't think a lot of people will be as pleased as you, as it's not even really a "game".
Hopefully you like it more than I did...

On the other hand, wasn't the Worms game that's going to be free a technical mess?

Wow. That might be the first time I've ever ignored a poster after reading 1 post by them. :lol

If you are from the USA go grab the 32 gb card for 50$, if not, like me, I'm seriously thinking about grabbing a 64gb from Nippon Yassan for 70€.

I like quite a bit about Smart As... but it was ruined, FOR ME, by the loading times and long, tedious animations. The game needs to load and be fast. It's just the type of game that should be, and it feels too slow. I want to get in, play a few of the minigames, and be done quickly, but that's too long a process and I just forget about it. The load times and animations may not necessarily be a lot longer than most games, but they NEED to be pretty much non-existent in this type of game.

My GOTY. Once I got familiar with the controls, I just couldn't put the game down. A lot of people didn't like it for being repetitive and the fighting mechanics, but I thought it was just an absolute thrill with a pretty good story.
 
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin can openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life . . .

But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got Spelunky?

I fucking love this game. It's like Binding of Isaac/Indiana Jones

30 minutes to judge a game ... so you really must know a lot of the game in 30 minutes...I dont think so, if you want action on that Uncharted play 4 hours and put the maximum difficulty and youll see besides , uncharted has exploration and action.

I uninstalled Uncharted after like 3 hours. Is that okay?
 
Golden Abyss is definitely, fully portable Uncharted. For better or worse. I rolled my eyes at the "Touch the screen to climb!!!" stuff, but it's fully optional.

There's a ps vita january sale on eu psn. What should I get?

I hear good things about everybody's golf, and it's only 5 pounds. Anything else?

I JUST bought a Vita but I can't transfer spelunky from my PS3 to VITA. Always get an error message.

Perhaps you're trying to transfer the PS3 version(don't know if that's possible)? There should be two versions in your download history. The one with the smaller file (109 MB) is the one you download. It's also called "Spelunky PS Vita" hard to miss

I think a 32gb should hold anyone over that's like 8-16 full games

I have a 32GB, and currently have 39 games installed on it. Out of that 39, 9 of them are what I would call "smaller titles" (ie, Lemmings, Super Crate Box, etc). 9 are PS1 games, 8 are PSP games, and the remaining 22 are PS Vita titles.

32GB is plenty in my opinion. I don't even play all of the games I have installed on my card. I'm currently trying to chip away at some of the games, because they're just kind of sitting there, but I don't want to delete them yet. Many I haven't played (like Gods Eater Burst). I beat Ys Seven, so that one has been deleted, but it sucks that so much of my favorite genre is RPGs. I have about a dozen or so on my Vita right now. Correction, just checked, I have 21 rpgs on my Vita. Lol.

I already beat Persona 4, but I can't bring myself to delete it off of my Vita yet. I want to run through it again once I clear more games.

So Nippon Yassan is a 100% reliable web, isn't it? I believe some fellow gafers bought the 64gb card from there, and my fiancée tell me to get it as a christmas gift. On playasia es like 85€. I have a 16gb card and a 8gb that came with the console and going 64 is gonna be more than enough for me for some time..

You really need to stick with it because the game gets much better as it goes along.

seems some people deny fun as they deny truth. I mean come on Uncharted Golden Abyss not being fun or not having action is a joke , really and im not even an Uncharted fan.

Maybe is not your cup of tea but Uncharted Vita is an impressive game and functional. The same people that didnt like Uncharted likes , stealth Inc, an IOS type of game , generic to the bones and with 0 production.

How similar is Vita Need for Speed to Burnout Paradise? I know they have the same dev.

mmm similarities are : Open World, and Cars. But they are pretty different in the sense Burnout is a game that destroys cars but NFSMW not , you just damage them a little. They both are arcade titles , althou Burnout is obviously more Arcade.Besides this, NFSMW is something that you need to have , good music , lots of cars , challenges are thought. Something more "Burnout" is asphalt injection , with good music and ugly gtraphics , but fun.

Well Burnout Paradise was quite different from previous burnouts. If you're comparing Paradise to NFS Rivals, I'd say they are very much alike

Why would you ask where the action is when you only played 30 minutes?
 
I am really blown away by a good mercenary looks it beats a lot of ps3 titles and the gameplay is extremely satisfying I love the new merchant element only two chapters in but I already like it more then shdowfall

So yeah, beat Tearaway today.
Cute ending, charming game, but the whole experience felt flat for me (yes, puns and all that). Not to say that it was a bad game: the mechanics are solid, the visuals are great, the music is amazing when it's used, and it utilizes the Vita's input methods in ways that don't feel too gimmicky or forced. Despite all that, the most enjoyment I got out of it was making my character look like Zero/Omega Zero (dude in my avatar).

Actually exploring and going through the levels didn't really do anything for me. It wasn't tedious, but it wasn't enjoyable or memorable. It was just "there", I guess. There were several moments in the game where I smiled and said "that's cute", but those were few and far between.

I guess in the end, it just wasn't a good fit for me. Which is a shame, since I really wanted to enjoy the game. :/

I'll definitely buy both eventually. Both are treasured childhood memories, both I've only finished like 50% of (I was shit at videogames as a child).

Go with Crash 2. I really didn't like the special levels in Crash 3. The ones where you'd be on a motorcycle or be on that tiger thing

I really would like to see some impressions please, I also have been interested in that AKB game.
Sure.

I hope I don't get too stung by customs. Lol





Also, this resistance game isn't that bad SP-wise. Need two trophies for platinum.



EDIT: Platinum get! All Resistance Platinums. :)
