Looks like this next sale will have some cool grabs :D; everyone here said TxK is a wonderful game and Octodad going on sale is great for PS4 owners :).

I also checked the NA PS Store for the Ratchet Collection Vita (wondering if it was going to be a stealth release) and it isn't on the store. Same with my download list (if the NA PSN even has cross-buy for the game).

Also, the PS+ games are up, it's just that the prices are shown for some reason (once put in your shopping cart, the price changes to 0.00).

Hope this helps :).

Picked up Strider now that it's free.

Not really excited about the titles listed in week 2 of the Summer Blast. Half the list are repeated titles on a different platform. Might pick up Octodad if the price is right. What's the general consensus on Octodad?

Also, the PS+ games are up, it's just that the prices are shown for some reason (once put in your shopping cart, the price changes to 0.00).

Hope this helps :).

Thanks! =) Adding Dead Space, Towerfall, and Doki now.

Does the game ever require you to use both the front and back touch at the same time for puzzles? Been thinking about downloading it, but holding my vita while "pinching" the front and back is a control scheme that really puts me off.
The default A Control is front and back, but you can change it to B Control, which makes it so that you need to touch an icon in the corner to activate the dark firefly and control it with the front touchscreen. That's what I used.

I cant believe New n Tasty has a release date but Munch Vita still doesn't. Seriously what the hell? I thought it wen in submission months ago?

There must be some serious shit going on with Munch's Oddysee HD. The Vita game has been first sent in submission last year, rejected, then re-submitted in late April, but we still haven't got anything. GoldenHelmet said we'd have got news in late june so let's wait a bit.

Here in europe, outside of the UK, the PS3 game has yet to be released, 19 months after its first release in UK and NA.

....Maybe it's due to Jaw potentially using Xbox-coding for the Vita version? That could explain it (as it was a Microsoft published game and an exclusive for that platform), as if it is using Xbox coding, Sony and Microsoft must have been upset about that or something. So, they might of ported the game into the Strangers Wrath Vita engine....which might have led to some trouble running the game on Vita (maybe the game running at a low frame-rate or something?).

I guess they finally sorted out whatever issues the Vita version was having and might see the game finally land on Vita late summer or something :l.

New thread!!!!!

So excited to play Child of Light on my Vita, but July is looking to be a sad month for our Vita's

At least EU PSN users can get their hands on the Ratchet Collection :D! From what I saw online, it is a great running version of classic games...and having Up Your Arsenal on the go...my god, that is just WAY to awesome :).
 
Thought I missed the sale on OlliOlli since the new content went up. Is it on sale for more than a week?

I might have spoken too soon, when I try to add it to the cart I can the error that I'm not eligible to make this purchase.

So, Doki Doki is cross buy right? Because I'm apparently downloading it for free on my PS4 right now, so it's kind of three free PS4 games this month?

AFAIK Jaw isn't working on Munch's, in fact I remember Golden saying something about the team they conctracted didn't work properly or something like this(I'm searching the post), which makes me worry about Joe Danger Vita since they're developed by the same team.

It is cross-buy for PS3/Vita/PS4 :D. I don't know if the game is good or not, but another 'free' game is really great in my book :).

Wait, they aren't doing the Vita version? That sucks :(; Jaw did a wonderful job with Strangers Wrath Vita, so knowing they aren't doing Munch Vita kinda makes it less appealing :l. I can imagine the game being sub-native at a unstable 30FPS if some random team is working on it (I really hope it isn't Tin Giant working on this; they did a horrid job with Ratchet FFA Vita X().

OlliOlli is going to buy crossbuy once the PS3/4 versions come out, right? I'm finding some conflicting info, but if so, figure I might as well buy it now with the Plus sale price.

Yeah we NEVER said we'd get Munch HD on to PC.

The company we sub-contracted the coding to on PS3/VITA have taken 30 months LONGER than they were contracted for to get those versions done, so right now I don't want to give them ANY other work.

I would LOVE to get HD on PC and if we have the bandwidth internally when NnT has gone gold then we WILL get it done.

Sorry, but I can't be fairer than that right now.


The team he's talking about is Foor Door Lemon, as I said they've been hired to get Joe Danger 1&2 on Vita.

Foor Door Lemon developed both PS3 and Vita versions of MOHD according to GoldenHelmet's post
edit: Apparently this team is porting another game as well, the Castle Crashers-like Foul Play

So the R&C Collection isn't a shotty port? :D I'm looking forward to it.

While I'm not sure if it's native res or not, the game runs at a solid 30FPS just like Sly Collection Vita and the strafing has two control set ups (either pressing down on the D-Pad to say locked in the mode or holding down the rear touch pad....there is no other action on the rear touch pad but strafing).

Really impressed with how good it is from what I saw :).

Pretty nice to get all the Plus games in one go, nice and simple. Vessel looks really cool, definitely going to give that a go soon. Shame I dont have a PS4 or Vita yet, but Strider and Muramasa are good ones to look forward to when I do.

I should be studying, instead I'm hunting for info about obscure teams developing obscure ports....

What the actual fuck

They produced a Into the Nexus Vita version? ...No wonder why the Vita version never came out; it must have been shit like the Vita version of FFA?! At least Sony prevented the game from coming to Vita.....it would have been another Jak Collection all over again :(.

It's worth noting that Tin Giant is apparently made up of just three devs and that they're all ex-Idol Minds devs who worked on R&C Trilogy PS3.

I wonder if they'll get to "redeem" as Mass Media did.



Any word about The Swapper's release? It was scheduled for May...

Early August last I've heard.
 
looking forward to buying oddworld new and tasty and another world (depending on it's price) i'm guessing they'll be cross buy.

just redeemed all the ps+ games. i'm pretty happy with this months selection.

Asking again on a new page -

If I transfer to a new memory card, will Crash Bandicoot and Spyro still work on my NA Vita? I don't want to lose them.
