Speaking about PSM Sony better roll out service in more countries on this gamescom as this stops beeing funny.

What ever happened to Picotto Knights? Is that still coming to NA?
All those awesome screenshots/videos/info on KZ:M got me all hyped up for some FPS action on the Vita.
Would you recommend Resistance: Burning Skies? I need something to quench this FPS thirst of mine!
What about CoD: Declassified? I heard it's terrible but would love to get some advice.

Nah, just bitter, as has sadly become the norm for Takao.
The developer got a lot of exposure being on PSM, featured on the PS Blog, picked up on Twitter by Jeff Gerstmann, Shuhei Yoshida and other media people. He'll most likely profit on PSM alone, and then make more money when it gets ported to iOS and Android. Well deserved too, cause the game is good.
A lot of people are down on it but the online was actually quite fun after the last 2 patches it had. Got rid of the disconnect issues for me and my friend.
I still can't believe the price never dropped on it though.
I emailed GungHo about this on Monday. They haven't replied yet, lol
Nothing. It's a port of a game available on practically every other platform, and the year over year numbers will be abysmal as last year had a Madden bundle that SCEA actually advertised. Vita isn't even getting Madden this year.

Anyone got an idea of the digital vs retail library of VITA. I mean how many retail titles are available digitally on VITA?
Even a tiny bump won't hurt, lol. Last month, we had a Epic Monkey 2 bundle, which might be the cause of the 30% increase in sales for June NPD figures.

All of them, every retail game is on digital.
CoD: Declassified isn't as bad as most reviews want you to believe. It is more in the 5-6/10 range of scores, in other words mediocre at best.
The singleplayer is laughable short and can be finished in under an hour. Gameplay and presentation resemble a CoD, although the latter suffers from the lack of budget compared to the real thing. The short campaign was still enjoyable.
The multiplayer resembles CoD multiplayer rather well. If you are a fan of the series, you should be able to enjoy it.

It's the reverse that's not always true...
September is it then!

Yay, finally, the wait has been long! Im hoping the price is fair.
That makes it sounds like it won't come out until September.
I should demand a free code for promoting this game to Vitagaf better than Zen Studios

Mhh, new thread. Fuzzy and warm.
I'm still trying to get some EU code. Its my quest.

Except AFAIK there were no Epic Mickey 2 bundles in the NPD regions. That was Europe only. As for that sales boost was it 30% year over year or 30% month over month? I'd be shocked if it was year over year. June 2012 had Gravity Rush, MGS: HD Collection, and residual boosts from Resistance: Burning Skies at retail. June 2013 had the bad Jak HD Collection, Muramasa Rebirth, and residuals from Soul Sacrifice at retail.
I'm so addicted to God Eater right now. I remember when the game was first announced in Japan and thinking how stupid the concept was back then. Seriously, BFS that eat things? Trying a bit too hard there to pander to teenagers there.
One thing that I'm curious about though is how people that played MonHun and GE on the PSP could handle the camera. The game plays amazingly with the d-pad mapped to the right analog stick, though it is understandably a bit sensitive. I've heard about the "claw" technique, but I still can't believe that it would be comfortable for long periods of play.
Considering downloading the GE2 demo, but I can't be bothered to do another region switch so soon after finally being assed to move to an EU account. Hopefully it gets localised soon.

Seems like that upcoming Asian Vita release of One Piece Pirate Warriors 2 with English subtitles was just a mistake from Play-Asia. The listing has been removed.
It's not available for pre-order at Amazon or Gamestop so I would assume digital only.
It's not, but people got used to it. Like if I nailed your foot to the ground while you raided or replaced the cartilage between your finger joints with metal shavings it would be very uncomfortable, but with no other option and assuming you don't stop playing you would eventually learn to adjust, that doesn't make it not uncomfortable, just that you've acclimated to the circumstances.

50 minutes of Killzone Mercenary footage, 40-ish more coming soon (it takes a long time for me to upload 720p videos of this length). If I don't remember to can someone link it on the next page for me?

Resistance
Pretty average single player campaign. I had fun with it but its very easy until the last boss which is suddenly stupidly hard. I think it was a 6-7 hour campaign and can be almost platinumed in 1 playthrough. Its online was very laggy and had a poor framerate. I would enjoy i for a game or 2 untill the frame rate started giving me a headache and I had to stop. Was a shame as it had potential to be a lot better online.
CoD
Offline content is very limited.
"Campaign" is really just 10 (i think?) spec op missions with no checkpoints. Each took 5-10 mins if I remember. It was kinda fun going through them but you can do it all in an hour. It also has a single player survival mode. I love co-op survival but that option isn't there so I found my self bored of that pretty quick.
Its online was actually surprisingly fun. The frame rate is mostly stable with a few drops on some maps. Had (and still has some) connection issues. Some laggy games. Considering its by the same guys that made resistance it shows what they could have done with resistance if they tried a bit harder.
Overall I would say resistance is worth a rent / borrow to go through the single player and CoD is OK for a quick blast of CoD multiplayer if thats your thing.
I played CoD's online for about 12 hours I think before I got bored. I later got Black ops 2 on my PC and again got bored after about 12 hours.
Both of these is just me being very bored of the CoD formula. I spend a rather insane amount of time on CoD4 and it rapidly got shorter and shorter with each iteration.
-----------------------
So im near the end of soul sacrifice now. 3 fights left. However I keep getting distracted with side pacts and I finally tried the online last night which was great fun. On the last sorcerer pact story, had to fight ghost chick who found Jasons technicoloured dream coat (wraith). She kicked my ass. Spends most her time invisible or under ground and the second she appears she dives you over and over. Its an 8 star difficulty so il just leave that one till later. Still less than lvl 50 I think.

Gonna watch this when I get home from work. Hope it doesn't get pulled down by Sony then.
KZM is really looking delicious!
I must be one of those slow ones in Singapore-VitaGAF that hasn't gotten Dragon Crown!
Waiting for my 30USD PS3 Copy with artbook that won't come till mid-August :/... I may end up buying the digital Vita edition. Hope there's a PS+ Day One discount (Sony should really do this... Sheesh)
