That was never a launch game. I think we'll see it in Fall 2012.

A guy from LBP team said in a Vita thread that it will be sooner. So probably May-June.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Plans are still First Edition bundle + one other game + a 32GB card.

 

[Nirolak]

how big is the launch window?

My guess would be it's the fiscal quarter, or until the end of March.

Perhaps April for a two month window.

I'm not positive though.

 

[krae_man]

No Ultimate Mahvel!? Edit: I'm blind.

Also, these games need to be released on the 15th and not the 22nd.

Many are. No concrete list of games that will be yet though. Sony said Most first party and some third party.

 

[UraMallas]

How much are the retail games? 39.99?

Mostly $29.99, supposedly. Uncharted is $49.99.

 

[Franklinator]

Dang it, no LBP.

So I'm gonna go with:

Wi-fi Vita
8 GB Memory card
$40 Uncharted (preordered early, suckas)
Modnation Racers
Possibly Lumines
Super Stardust, assuming it's a good price

 

[The Elite]

I'm hoping that MLB 12 is only about a week or two out to coincide with the console version launch.

 

[Loudninja]

How much are the retail games? 39.99?

I see 3 different prices for Vita software in the US:

$29.99:
wipEout 2048
Hot Shots Golf
ModNation Racers: Road Trip
Touch My Katamari
Ridge Racer

$39.99:
LittleBigPlanet
Army Corps Of Hell
Little Deviants
Gravity Rush
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
Reality Fighters

Ben 10 Galactic Racing

$49.99:
Uncharted: Golden Abyss

All from Amazon.[/QUOTE]

 

[WickedLaharl]

With no gravity daze at launch there really isn't anything that interests me

 

[Zoibie]

sorry if old

From the EU blog




no 32gb for Europe?

And Gravity Rush is PSN only

And £45 for Uncharted is insane. Although I imagine most retailers will cut it down to £40.

 

[Red Blaster]

Where's Persona 4 dammit.

 

[weeskwee]

Besides the First Edition 3G bundle and the $99 32Gb memory card, I want all these. but will probably stick with the 7 first party ones first. then over time get those 3rd party ones on sale, etc.

Escape Plan
Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational
ModNation Racers: Road Trip
Super StarDust Delta
UNCHARTED: Golden Abyss
wipEout 2048
Gravity Rush

Army Corps of Hell
Blazblue: Continuum Shift EXTEND
Dynasty Warriors Next
Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen
Touch My Katamari
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention
NINJA GAIDEN ∑ PLUS
Silent Hill Book of Memories

 

[Plinko]

I think people need to realize that with this many games hitting at launch, it's inevitable that many, if not most, go down in flames sales-wise and there will be price bombas all over the place soon after.

 

[ganbareneopokekun]

gravity rush will be a download only title in the EU/US.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


i want a sexy package for my shelf ((

 

[Apath]

$49.99:
Uncharted: Golden Abyss

Uncharted is a complete joke at $50.

 

[Dead Prince]

What i'll probably be picking up

3G Model Vita $249.99
32GB Card $99.99
Hot Shots Golf $29.99
Modnation Racer $29.99
BlazBlue $39.99
UMvC3 $39.99
Touch my Katamari $29.99

$489.94

Lumines

[Corto]

FIFA VITA? FIFA VITA?! FIFA VITA!

 

[anddo0]

Launch for me

Wi-fi Vita
16 GB Memory card

Escape Plan
Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational
UNCHARTED: Golden Abyss
Blazblue: Continuum Shift EXTEND
Gravity Rush


What kind of pouch is the "Pocket Pouch"? I'm assuming it's a soft pouch similar to the one that came with the original PSP. I'm looking for a hard carrying case myself. The one they released for PSPGO is perfect.

Also, what's up with Amazon's PSVita page? They don't have much available to pre-order.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

No one seems to give a shit about Uncharted, why?

 

[StealthGoblin]

And Gravity Rush is PSN only

And £45 for Uncharted is insane. Although I imagine most retailers will cut it down to £40.

Its available for much less online. Well, it was.

 

[killermmn]

where is motorstrom rc??

 

[legbone]

damn. really disappointed that motorstorm: rc and sound shapes are not making launch. looks like wipeout and a 16 gig card for me. maybe 32, haven't decided yet.

 

[mauaus]

Plans are still First Edition bundle + one other game + a 32GB card.

Thats exactly my plan, im already paying $30- 50 a week via Amazon gift cards to soften the blow when its released haha

 

[mauaus]

What i'll probably be picking up

3G Model Vita $249.99
32GB Card $99.99
Hot Shots Golf $29.99
Modnation Racer $29.99
BlazBlue $39.99
UMvC3 $39.99
Touch my Katamari $29.99

$489.94

Lumines

not bad.

Thats a shitload of games, they all look so good!!!

 

[Jinfash]

Noooo. Wtf Sony. Gravity rush will be out in Japan before the is launch!

Ridge racer not launch? Lol

First time in over a decade. I demand more content and 60fps in return.

 

[anddo0]

I think people need to realize that with this many games hitting at launch, it's inevitable that many, if not most, go down in flames sales-wise and there will be price bombas all over the place soon after.

This is true. I'm trying to keep my list short. I can't believe I'm saying this... I may drop Uncharted because of the price.

gravity rush will be a download only title in the EU/US.

Didn't realize that. Hopefully, the price matches.

No one seems to give a shit about Uncharted, why?

The price, which I just noticed, may be the reason why.

 

[Takao]

No Madden launch title? Is that a good idea?

 

[SolidSnakex]

No Madden launch title? Is that a good idea?

The Vita launches in the US after the NFL season has ended.

 

[Takao]

The Vita launches in the US after the NFL season has ended.

Didn't the 3DS launch after the season as well? I guess sales must've persuaded EA to wait.

 

[legbone]

i figure the case is the one they have been showing with the japanese launch. i am wondering what the travel pouch looks like. may have to get one since it would be a lot classier than the crown royal bag i planned to tote it around in.

 

[rollingstart]

so variable pricing seems confirmed? for europe at least

well, that makes it easier to pass on Uncharted if it's $50

Shinobido 2 at launch, Gravity Daze soon after (hopefully), and 16 gig card sound good.

 

[anddo0]

No Madden launch title? Is that a good idea?

It would most likely be a quick cash in, rush job.. Great idea! Why taint peoples view of sports titles on the Vita right out the gate.

 

[Jinfash]

gravity rush will be a download only title in the EU/US.

Has this been confirmed?

 

[thuway]

I would so be on this hype train if those price brackets were ten dollars cheaper. $49 Games --> $39, $39 Games -->29, $29 Games -->$19

Who am I kidding though, by the time I buy this sucker during the revision, all those games will be $9.

 

[legbone]

I would so be on this hype train if those price brackets ten dollars cheaper. $49 --> $39, $39-->29, $29-->$19

that's probably where they will be 6 months from launch. at least i hope.

 

[Wazzim]

I probably said that I would not get Wipeout or whatever but HELL YES I'm getting dat game. Studio Liverpool <3

gravity rush will be a download only title in the EU/US.

No. NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOo

 

[Xiaoki]

Was hoping Ruin would be "launch window".

Uncharted, Gravity Rush and Wipeout will have to last a while then.

 

[kodt]

Maybe this is a dumb question, but will all my PSN PSP games work on Vita? I own about 5-6 games (on PSN) but sold my PSP a while back. If I get a Vita and log into my account can I download those games?

 

[Bebpo]

Gravity Daze not making launch is depressing. It's fulfills the one original IP that is actually a good game (likely) needed at launch.


Still:
Hot Shots
Uncharted
Wipeout
Shinobido 2
Katamari

Is a good launch.

 

[famousmortimer]

What i'll probably be picking up

3G Model Vita $249.99
32GB Card $99.99
Hot Shots Golf $29.99
Modnation Racer $29.99
BlazBlue $39.99
UMvC3 $39.99
Touch my Katamari $29.99

$489.94

Lumines

not bad.

A good list, and similar to mine, but the 3G vita is $300, so add 50 to that, or did you mean wifi?


Little Deviants is also interesting. I may get that early bundle. Hmmm.

 

[Omikaru]

My launch goodness:

Vita WiFi
16gb memory
Uncharted: Golden Abyss
Touch My Katamari
Total: £323.46

Good thing I pre-ordered Uncharted when it was £29, and I also managed to snag Katamari for £22.86.

I think in the "Launch window", I'll get Gravity Rush, Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Lumines.

 

[Takao]

Games range from $9.99 to $49.99. I doubt you'll see any retail $9.99 - $19.99 titles in year 1 other than bomba-bins.

Nice

Japanese purchasers got hosed, the JP Vita packs didn't come with any AR cards.

It would most likely be a quick cash in, rush job.. Great idea! Why taint peoples view of sports titles on the Vita right out the gate.

On the otherhand, it at least says "hey we have sports games". Though, Vita's launch window will have Tennis, Golf, Baseball, and Soccer covered.

 

[Bebpo]

btw, Gravity Rush being download only sucks for people who don't want to buy big memory cards. I really hope there aren't a ton of "PSN only" games in the future. Every non XBLA/PSN $5-15 game should have a full cart physical version.

 

[outunderthestars]

I like the variable pricing.

Picking up the 3g model, a 16 GB card, Katamri, Modnation, Hotshots Golf, Escape Plan, and Disgaea

A great launch!

 

[Key2001]

gravity rush will be a download only title in the EU/US.

Where was this stated at? The way the games are listed on the PS Blog (Super StarDust Delta, Escape Plan and Hustle Kings being listed PSN Only) it appears it will have a retail version.

It also appears to have a retail in the link below where as Hustle Kings and Super Stardust Delta (two games listed as PSN Only) are only a screen capture of the game.

[Rollo Lawson]

wi-fi model, disgaea 3, and 32gb card for me...

 

[Sintoid]

You can transfer your games to a normal personal computer. Biggest launch game is 3BG, the others are approx 1.5-2GB so having a 4GB is enough for playing well.

By the way what's that starter kit with memory card? What does it contain except the 4GB MC?

 

[Tambini]

Maybe this is a dumb question, but will all my PSN PSP games work on Vita? I own about 5-6 games (on PSN) but sold my PSP a while back. If I get a Vita and log into my account can I download those games?

I too would like to know this

edit: nevermind, i was wrong. i just looked it up and vita is 100% backwards compatible with psp. looks like you are good to go.

 

[Sintoid]

Of course you can download PSP games on PSV ^_^
