Just another superior practice by SCEE, I guess.

In case this was glossed over, for you SCEE PS+ folk, two of these are planned for future IGC updates:
Guacamelee?
LittleBigPlanet Vita?
Hotline Miami?
Far Cry 3?
PixelJunk Monsters Vita?
Plants vs Zombies Vita?
Need for Speed:Most Wanted Vita?
Assassins Creed: Liberation Vita?

I completed it the first time on Tuesday and then again yesterday. Only my score from yesterday shows up (and it was 100k lower than the first one).

if i get Jak Trilogy(ps3) i can get Jak Trilogy(psv) for free ?
LBP and AC3/NFS for annual rotation in November sounds quite possibly

Only in EU and only if you buy one of the digital versions. At this point, you should just buy a 3-month PS+ subscription.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
They do love to give out LBP games on the IGC, at least in NA.
I'd say PvZ Vita is a possibility because it was free in NA already.
The other game? Hard to say -- AC3L or LBP seem most likely. Guacamelee too, but it's a bit too new still, I think.
Yup, Crossbuy is enabled. But you have to search for the Vita version in the store yourself. It doesn't get added to your download list.
EU only

In North America? Definitely Rayman Legends, Kickbeat and Atelier Meruru Plus. Possibly Real Boxing, but that may have been delayed longer. Don't know if there's anything else.

He meant as a PS+ IGC title, I believe.

I already owned it on physical but still bought it again while it was on sale. Ubisoft gives a lot of love to Vita, so...
I seriously cannot stop laughing at this. Though I am kind of disappointed I already own Origins
your comments can be loaded and depressing at times
but you bought spelunky so you're good
I am always loaded.
I did buy Spelunky but indie games suck and platformers are for babies and Nintendo.
Or something.

Depends where you're from. In Europe it's cross-buy, in North America it's not. It's also free on PS+ in Europe at the moment (I had to add buy versions to my basket, though.)

Spelunky and NLKS
before that, Marvel and Katamari
before that, dragons crown on PS3 and Vita
and before that, The Last of Us. I probably should seek professional help.

... i was joking sorry
but Bend is super small in size (unless they were hiring like crazy since U:GA which is highly unlikely) they are small and they'll not handled another project with a PS4 one, (and I don't see PS4 downports on Vita) and if there is a game Bend were making on Vita it should be announced already but yeah there was nothing so far and now SCE studios entered the PS4 games developments. I really wish good things for Vita I like the system just like you guys but I don't see Bend working on Vita games anymore.
Bend could be doing PS4 stuff that doesn't necessarily involve creating an entire PS4 game. Maybe some of the team members are just doing some tech stuff or something.

What is Bend are working on an inFamous Vita title set after Second Son? Would explain why they've been silent for so long, and why Nate from Sucker Punch balls'd up and mentioned a possible Vita game. Sucker Punch could be assisting.
I can dream.

You called me?

So glad that we got Origins Vita with the IGC, and I'm even happier that I held out on buying it (because I expected this to happen).
Also, my eyes hurt from playing Spelunky on the Vita. Is it just me?
edit: also also also (even though this isn't really Vita related), Journey was awesome. The sand-sliding parts had me giggling! The game took me a little under 2 hrs, but I feel it was worth the $3.74

last night i had 6 back to back runs which i deemed good. after that there was a string of BS where I'd make stupid decisions and just fail with the whip, or a jump, etc.
I now take breaks if I start to slide downhill. i used to restart the caves if i started off bad but I've learned to press forward. so much of your run is dependent on random factors like shops or just dying to weird patterns that its good to at least see what you could get.
basically, you only need to make it to the ankh and then to the stone golem in the ice caves. there you have to commit suicide or die anyway so your life isn't a factor before that point as long as you reach that point.

I just played a little bit of the Killzone Mercenary beta and overall, it's decent. Aiming gets some serious getting used to, and I didn't really know what I was doing since I just dropped int he matches.
So I'm not sure if I'll buy it but I will look at a few reviews and impressions once it comes out.

To be fair last year someone from Sony said that 'all of Sony's studios are working on the Vita' only have ND come out a day later to say nope. These statements really mean nothing more than 'Sony Worldwide Studios is excited to develop for PS4 and is currently focusing its attention to the development of titles for this exciting platform'.

Hello Vitabros!
First post here at Neogaf! It is hard to say how much my wallet loves and hates this thread.
The good thing with the Vita is I am going to India for 4 months. I will be missing every major events of the holiday season (No PS4/Xbone launch, No GTA V,...). Buuuuut I will have the indie power in my pocket!
Look me up on PSN if you want to hear some sweet French accent in Party!
Sad thing being a NA PSN+ member is that we will have to go through Killzone Mercenary first before Rayman Legends.
Also 200 deaths in Spelunky so far! It takes more than just one death to get to the top!

You and me both, friend. I've probably put 10 hours into it already.

I didn't think I was. But I find myself diving for it at every spare moment of downtime I get.Guys, I'm addicted to Spelunky!
I get so mad. Then, I get sooo happy. It's a beautiful thing when you get those ace runs.
Welcoming edit:
Welcome, fellow Vitamuffin! This wonderful handheld will serve you well in the coming months! I, and others share your pain in the angry wallet scenario. It's both a blessing and a curse, especially if you have PS Plus. Currently I am 80 or so deaths in Spelunky, got to 3-1 once. One day, I too will know the glory known as the top of Spelunky.
I noticed on the browser (I look at the browser a lot) that there is a pointer now. Push square and it changes the left analog stick from scrolling to pointing. When was this intoduced? Now I dont have to rub the screen as much.
Was it the same update that improved the browser some months ago? Im such a dope.

I can't stop laughing ... just showed a few of my coworkers .. thanks dawg!

I can't stop playing although I am raging left and right at the game. Only reached the ice caves so far and don't even have the short cut. I just hate it when I don't have the stuff for tunnel man.
Welcome new Vitabro.

I completely suck at the game (96 deaths and I haven't even made it to 2-1), so I don't have much to "go to shit"
I don't ever play for an hour straight, but my eyes hurt nevertheless. Neither my computer monitor nor my TV do this to my eyes, but my Vita seems to.
I rage constantly, too, and I also have only gotten to the ice caves. Only the first level of it, in fact. I have 2 of the 3 requests for the shortcut to the ice caves, but I need a shotgun for the third which is driving me crazy because I hardly ever get one of those. And the jungles are so hard so I'm getting sick of playing it, lol.

Wasn't the case with Gran Turismo 6 though. And I suspect the reason was Polyphony Digital's history of missing deadlines, so I wouldn't be surprised if Sony plays it safe with other titles where they're unsure when they'll be ready to ship.
It occurs to me that if the rumors about London creating a new Syphon Filter game turn out to be true, Bend guys like Garvin would likely be involved in a supervising capacity.

First of all, is there any way to tell how many hours you've put into a Vita (or PS3) game? I love the feature on Steam.
Secondly, how come, in Spelunky, I hit a bat, snake, etc with my whip and I often get hurt even though it kills them? Drives me nuts.

You just have to get used to how far your whip goes. If you're gettin hit, you're swinging too early.
hmm... they must be hitting you first. You can swing your whip as you're hit, so try to get the timing so you are swinging a little earlier than you have been. with bats, it's tricky, because they often come towards you at a weird angle, you often actually have to jump and hit them out of the air (or step back a few steps till they are coming at you straight).
OMG, you need a shotgun? Already missed some money, rope or bomb requests. How the hell am I gonna bring him a shotgun?
Hope those requests are random, or are they fixed?
Edit: he really wants a shotgun, ugh. Beat the ice caves and it seems he has to do all the other shortcuts before he does the following ones :/
Damn temple, got crushed after my pristine ice cave run just because I didn't know the traps.
My worst death was because of one of those helping AI chars.
I planted a bomb and he threw it right back at me. What an asshole, I bought him from the shop. He was supposed to be my slave
So after a week of mulling it over i decided to finally bite on the Vita, went ahead and downloaded the free stuff from PS+ and plan on stopping by best buy tomorrow after work and what i want to know is, am i going to have to just suck it up and pay for the 32gb? Note, i won't be going 100% full digital but i would say a good 75% of what i buy/get will be digital.
Should i start with a 8-16gb? Is it easy to transfer stuff over? I wanted to grab the 32gb at BB if i could find a site that has it for $60-70 that BB would price match. The 32gb on amazon is third party seller so they won't PM it.

I had an 8 GB but quickly realized I needed 32 GB. I'm almost full on my 32 GB. Considering you have plus, it will fill up quick!!
I was afraid i would have to drop another $100.
Why the fuck is the 32GB so goddamn expensive? it's $99 at bestbuy.. I thought they price dropped it?!?!
