Not terrible, and some interesting cross-buy stuff in there too, which is nice.

It's a good update, but I already have Sly and Hotline Miami and I'm not interested in the others... :/

I trust the site, but it's weird to see Motogp and PES given. IIRC, they've never given a sport game before (aside from NBA which was a replace)

If that list is true, and Hotline Miami becomes a PS Plus game for Europe, does that mean that when the PS4 version comes out, it'll be able to be downloaded for free due to the cross-buy with the Vita?

good list. Sly was in my 'hmm interested but not enough to buy' list, so that gets me to try it out and if I like it, I'm more likely to buy future games.

PES is good for my son, lets him compare with FIFA, so when the new versions come out on PS4 later in the year he can decide which he prefers

Yes you should. It happened with Limbo, and I hope it will happen with GOW 1 and Joe Danger 2 too


Oh, right, I forgot to mention that the rumor is about EU Plus

To be honest I'd get PES. I always wanted a soccer game but didn't want to pay >50€ for a new edition.

The fact that they're giving it away before the end of the season it's even more weird and means that the game anal-flopped
 
What's the consensus on Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate among Vitabros? I picked it up for $20, and it looks nice to me, but I just want to make sure I didn't pick up a terrible game or anything.

$20 is what I got it for last holiday season. Not too bad for that price, but the game is not as good as any other arkham game. After looking and playing a small amount of the 3ds version, vita is the way to go.

The main campaign is not too long, but in order to platinum the game you have to beat it three times (which is ridiculous).

Overall, since you already own it play it once and try to enjoy it, but save Joker for last, his area is just that much better than the other two. My recommendation would be penguin, black mask then joker, you can do it in any order but that is my recommendation.

Will Thieves in Time be a cross-buy for Vita as well? I really enjoyed the Vita version and was almost done with the platinum trophy, but lend my cartage to a friend (he gave me his 3ds), while he is out of the country. Would be really cool if its free for vita as well.

It's crossbuy on the PS3 side so yeah, you should get the Vita ver. as well.
Also, trophies sync between the two versions so all the trophies you got will be "doubled" when you'll run it on PS3

what a shame... well there are any impressions regarding FEZ Vita ? Is it a long game? i just bought it but im at work so i have to wait a few hours , im anxious to play it.

Tech-wise it's a perfect port, it manages to be better than the original 360 release according to those who played it. Take a look at the OT


EDIT: sheet, double post :/

Thanks for the quick replay. All hopes are toward it being cross buy for plus, as well. ^^
As for the trophies, I do not have a PS3 yet, as at the moment I'm only interested in Persona 5 as a reason to buy the console itself, but with all the plus games I have for it with I may buy it sooner. :)

All the precedents point to it being crossbuy.

The only case against is Dead Nation, but still, I don't think it's cross buy at all.
Even though I myself have seen the PS4 Dead Nation store page saying this:
CROSS-BUY
• Acquista la versione per PlayStation®4 del gioco da PlayStation®Store e potrai scaricare Dead Nation™ + Road to Devastation per PlayStation®Vita e PlayStation®3 senza costi aggiuntivi.
• Dead Nation™ per PlayStation®Vita esce nel mese di aprile 2014.


that was took down 1 hour after DN PS4 was uploaded to the store. (at the time I wasn't a gaf member so I didn't write about that)


edit: for non italian-speaking: it said that buying DN PS4 would have given you DN PS3 & Vita + DLC. Also, DN Vita would be coming in April.

Now that you mentioned it, I remembered Jack Collection, Stealth Inc, MotorStorm RC and Guacamelee were cross-buy between PS3 and Vita as well. But I'm fairly new to the service, so I'm not sure how exactly works in these cases.

I thought HM was already free on EU PS+, but I guess I must have paid for it. :)

Also, if we get Sly I'll be even more annoyed that I paid money for that tripe.

Limbo too. In that case they effed something up because I got the PS3 ed on Plus, then the Vita one was free on launch day and was mine forever, then the Vita one unlocked the PS3 one forever. I still don't know how the last part happened lol

The Amiga Brotherhood
is this game a Vita or a PSP game release? they are localizing it!

Half Minute Hero 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I8ouYtOnD8
Meh.
Imo HMH was already not that good and IIRC HMH2 removed all the modes(princess, mage etc) except the hero mode.

New sale today on EU stores:

Can someone post the content? (can't see the blog at work)
Meh.
 
dishonored - AU$12.95 + 10% ps +...

mmmmmmmm...

do i bite?

It seems like one of those titles which would come on ps+ and its been out for a while.....

AFAIK no bethesda game has ever been offerend on PSN+ as a free game so I wouldn't hold my breath. Also, dishonored is really great and worth a playthrough.

If I am not mistaken, team Osaka was not trusted enough to handle the big titles of Squeenix. And BbS was the pivotal point for that.

They're doing KHIII now, since the (main) KH team has been working on Final Fantasy Forever since 1684.

Not saying you're wrong. But 8 years without a homeconsole Kingdom Hearts game when the games sells the most in the West (especially US) is not a good idea.

Still, it's SE who we're talking about.


I like this update. I could download PES for parties and i'll give a try to Sly4. If I found it "unplayable" on Vita I'd play it on PS3.

Oh, right, I forgot to mention that the rumor is about EU Plus

US already had HM in... September? I'm not 100% sure.
 
That's disappointing. I guess I'll be returning it. Thanks for the impressions.

It's really not a BAD game, just very mediocre.

Honestly, They put together a barebones, and began fleshing out the areas started with the Joker (my personal favorite area, boss battle, and everything) and then moved on to Black mask and ran out of time, money or both. It is a game that could have used another 3-4 months in the oven before release.

It is NOT a bad game, just mediocre. If you like Batman you should play it. However it might make sense to wait until the PC/PS3/360 port and make your decision then.

something has gotten to me...
if I had an Nvidia GPU, I would have gotten a SHIELD too (but I prefer AMD)

need to pickup my Vita again soon
#school
 
With MLB coming out for PS3 & Vita Tuesday, shouldn't someone start the OT? Or is there an ongoing mega thread in community that I don't know about?

An blind dancing ho
I just bought an NVIDIA Shield.

Congrats

why bro why

It's a very good device for gaming, PSP emulator, make android games playble, PC streaming and making them portable. it's no rival to Vita so there no need for the hate really.

Ruh oh, is this the beginning of the end for Gurumin's run on NA PSN?

BjoePquIAAAdhd4.jpg


It used to be on the Vita store, but now it's only available on PC, and PS3. The price dropped to $10. Maybe this is a sign that it's about to get delisted?

it's very unfortunate.

Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure is the greatest and best PSP game. this is a big loss for vita and psp library.
