Support NeoGAF

[gogogow]

They have sales all the time...just not Steam level sales.

I know, just like their Christmas sale every 3 days, it's pretty pathetic.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Yep, technical issue, apperently wifi (possibly 3g too) turns off when motion sensors are enabled (which is the case with uncharted?)

Not sure if it's a glitch, or that it gets disabled so it doesn't interfeer with the magnetometer.

WTF?! That's just bizzare! Anyone have any other motion enabled games that they can test this with? That would be terrible if true (Here's hoping that they can fix this if this is indeed the case!)

 

[twentytwo22]

Ask if you have any questions, doing this right took me a while so I can save you some time.

Sorry, I've played so much KD on PS2 that it feels super boring now.

22, how come I don't have your PSN ID yet? We must play LoD together sometime.

ID is kylecities, add me!

Also, about the Wi-Fi going off-- I've had it happen during various instances today where the icon would disappear (changes to the 3G icon on my 3G system), but I can confirm that it isn't actually break the connection; I tested this earlier.

All the launch titles have some form of gyro controls.

 

[twentytwo22]

Kinda SAS for remote play. Didnt they said that was going to work with every game or I'm wrong. ?

I think a Sony rep said that, but they must have asked the wrong one. 100 reps, 100 answers.

BTW I was talking to my friend with a bluetooth headset through the Party app while playing Shin Sangoku (which uses the gyro and everything else) with no disruptions. I think the icon is just disappearing for whatever reason.

 

[Jinfash]

@twentytwo22: I'm going through your youtube channel at the moment, great videos and commentary. Much appreciated.

 

[B-Genius]

Nice videos, 22. I see not only Dark Souls, but MHP3rd nestled in there. Good man

Could anyone with UMvC3 do me (us?) a huge favour and test the connectivity with PS3 online? Is there any way to tell you're playing with a PS3 opponent as opposed to a Vita opponent? Is it foolish to expect any kind of fun using only 3G?

 

[IonicSnake]

Thanks for the videos 22! Keep them coming if you can.

 

[twentytwo22]

Appreciate the kind words, gentlemen. It's been a fun day.

 

[spectyre]

@twentytwo22: I'm going through your youtube channel at the moment, great videos and commentary. Much appreciated.

Agreed! Getting a slick new handheld and taking the time to post a bunch of vids for us instead of playing it; I don't think I could do it, or if I would have even thought of it. Thanks for taking one for the team.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

So that means we'll never see anyone playing Uncharted on our friends list?

If it's intentional rather than a bug, then it's really dumb. I don't want it to set a precedent on the Vita and inspires other devs to go with that route.

This happens for some 3DS games too. WHY?

So LiveArea and Near won't work when you play Uncharted? Lame.

Oh really? Is there no way to turn it on again afterwards, while still playing the game?

If that's the case then playing UMvsC3 online would make for the worst case scenario.



That happens with OoT 3D and SF643D. Probably an experiment to see if people would rather save on battery life than have streetpass active. Thankfully Nintendo have given up on that idea since every game they've released since then doesn't turn off WiFi.

I am not sure, if it´s a system glitch or intentional so the battery can last longer.

Are they restored when you quit the game?

I hope this occurs because of some technical issue, rather than trying to save battery.

Yes, they are restored after one quits the game immediately. I am not sure, if it´s a system glitch or intentional so the battery can last longer.

 

[IonicSnake]

Maybe the devs thought it was a good idea to turn them off to conserve battery. What happens if you go back to the OS while playing and sign back in?

Edit: If you can even access the settings and turn them on again while playing.

 

[walking fiend]

Yes, you can buy from another region's store, but you need to have funds in your PSN wallet. Most of online shops charge extra for that, however I'm sure some GAFer can help you: pay via PayPal, get the code, input into PSN, get money.

I plan on doing that since my main PSN account is US one, and I live in Europe. If you get Vita remember to buy PSN games using the same account you are using on your Vita.

That pretty neat. And I believe all the Vita games are supposed to come DD as well? Come to me cheap US games!

You have got to be able to turn it on during play. Party chat should work with every game.

Mine is Niiro-Matsuki. I don't know about Dynasty Warriors, but LoA hits me in the face with "the Wifi function has been turned off", so I don't know. It's kind of weird, since the game has online multiplayer.

Can you still go online to play multiplayer when this happens? (does it turn itself back on when you select online multiplayer?)

 

[Jinfash]

This is ridiculous.

 

[Hasemo]

Didn't get that far yet, got to do a few things first. I'll check that asap.

wow

 

[Jinfash]

What's the point of it being a "Social Revolution" if it's going to cut me off every now and then?

This doesn't bode well for party lol.

 

[Hasemo]

Um. Wait a moment. I just googled a bit and two bits of contradicting information. Some Q&A says that the only way to play online is to use Ad hoc party with PSP and that it's impossible on Vita and other stating, that online multiplayer is there. FFS.

 

[FoxSpirit]

After playing some more, Uncharted visually is all over the place. When it looks good, it looks really damn good. However when it's bad, damn is all I can say.

Yes the birds look just as bad on the Vita. Look at the damn birds, they're literally nothing more than fucking pixels.

Holy compression artefact, Batman!

 

[onken]

There is... I think if you hold the ps button a brightness slider will pop up. It should be in settings too.

Oh nice haha

 

[Mdk7]

Hey J-Gaffers, where's my report on Army Corps of Hell?
I'd LOVE to read some impressions on that..

 

[Akainu]

Is there some date estimate of when colors will be out? I want orange vita!

wow

very nice

 

[Hasemo]

Bah, it seems Lord of Apocalypse doesn't have online multiplayer after all...

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Bah, it seems Lord of Apocalypse doesn't have online multiplayer after all...

UMvsC3 is the one that needs to be tested then!

 

[Bomber Bob]

BTW I'm playing with dark allience demo and is not that bad for 2400 yen. I may bite.

 

[twentytwo22]

Was thinking the same thing. Any idea if this one has online?

 

[°°ToMmY°°]

Did someone buy shinobido 2?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

That game was awesome fun on PS3 with friends. The load times were terribad there too incase some are surprised

Great to see the in-game options and OS level multitasking. It's more impressed than I ever thought I would be.

 

[Bomber Bob]

The little promo video in the demo says "4 player online mode" so I guess yes.

 

[MightyKAC]

Did someone buy shinobido 2?

I did.

Fun game, but VERY heavy on the nihongo.

Looks and moves very solid.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Amazing. Gonna double dip on that one. I paid 15 on PSN though :/

2400y, hope it's under 30 for US launch. With cross game or in-game chat, this should be awesome on the go.

 

[ChryZ]

Andy C, fuck yeah. Vita users roll with the finest dnb!

 

[Syn23]

Technical stuff aside, is Uncharted: GA any good, as a game?
It seems VERY generic.

 

[Castor Krieg]

2400y, hope it's under 30 for US launch.

We need to wait to see if that rumor for 40% off digital copies is true.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Umm what about it looks generic? It looks and plays like UC. Unless that's never been your cup of tea.

 

[Road]

It's not going to be 40% off for every single game, even if it's true.

 

[-SD-]

Ugh... very strong JPG compression there. Post lossles quality pics, thank you.

 

[Syn23]

Umm what about it looks generic? It looks and plays like UC. Unless that's never been your cup of tea.

I love the series. I've played through the first two games three times each, and got a platinum trophy on both. I've finished the third twice and I'll get the platinum trophy soon.

It's just that what I've seen in GA seems a lttle uninspired. Pretty standard gunplay and not so good setpieces. But I've only seen an hour or so of various footage. If it's 10-12 hours long someone should already have been through half the game or so.

 

[Hasemo]

Those are Vita screenshots, and yeah, they're heavily compressed. But it's either that or taking screenshots of the screen with your phone/camera.

 

[Shancake]

Have we confirmed the whole Trophy thing? I've got a friend sending me his copy of Uncharted Golden Abyss with a Vita but he already played Uncharted on his system... Does this mean I wont be able to get trophies now on mine?

 

[Castor Krieg]

If nobody will check it before, you will be happy to inform GAF about your experience!

 

[test_account]

I think that you can reset the game cart itself, then you can get trophies

 

[FoxSpirit]

Those are Vita screenshots, and yeah, they're heavily compressed. But it's either that or taking screenshots of the screen with your phone/camera.

Have you check if there is any option to change the quality or format? It's an awesome feature almost made useless. Plus on Yoshida's twitter pics looked better :-\

 

[demonkaze]

Is it still possible to import these and where is the best and cheapest place to get one and deliver it to the UK? A bundle would probably be better too.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

My advice for screencaps would be too scale them down to Vita size. They are already artifact riddled and some of the games are even sub Vita res. So while they may look good, it may not do them a service to blow them up.
