Will I be able to claim all the Vita games for November? And maybe the other two consoles...


Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (PS4/Vita)
SteamWorld Dig (PS4/Vita)
Frozen Synapse Prime (PS3)
Luftrausers (PS3/Vita)
The Hungry Horde (Vita)
Escape Plan (PS4/Vita)
 
Why do you guys want a physical version of Minecraft so badly

I collect Vita games and if there's a physical English version of a Vita game possible/available, I always want it. The more unnecessary, the better.

I also have Tetris Ultimate pre-ordered on amazon uk. Finding out if it will actually be a physical game probably won't happen until someone asks in the comments section of an EU PS Blog announcement the week before it releases. Gotta keep it pre-ordered though, because you never know when amazon uk will conclude that they can't deliver video games to the US for a few months... and hope I find out that it's not a physical game card before it ships and charges, but also budget for it just in case it is and the release date suddenly changes from TBA to "tomorrow" to coincide with a stealth release on PSN.

There's always so much vagueness and uncertainty about Vita that it makes anticipating a release or trying to plan purchases difficult. From SCEA/SCEE always being dodgy about region, compatibility and cross buy specifics, to whether your import will need an online pass or really does have English text, to PSP games being for sale but not compatible, to letting all the 99 cent Crash & Spyro games pass you by thinking "nah... they'll never be compatible", to kickstarter games with Vita tiers that barely make it or fail, to Sly 3 being a download code, to wondering what apps are on PS TV or if it will get any, to not knowing if the Vita will be around much longer for almost the entire time it's been out etc.

It's just that dicktease process that has me annoyed more than actually caring about Minecraft.

SO I guess I should mention this in here, I recently spoke to game developer Gamesbymo and during the course of the interview it was confirmed that ANNE is coming to the Playstation 4 PSN.

Yeah, it's been down for several hours. Really sucks too, since my gaming time is a short window these days :/ Who the fuck schedules maintenance during prime-time west coast hours? Doesn't make any sense.

Thanks Sony.
 
Didn't know it was going to be an opening chapters demo like the GE2 one. Looking forward to how much they've fixed up since the battle demo.

Has long been known. Probably two months ago.

Edit: They have also posted quite a detailed changelog a week or two ago.

Yeah, they are among the worst. I can't even contact their European branch because I believe their European website and Twitter is actually run by Zen United/pqube. And they don't even publish their games anymore... but the Twitter account is still active... uh. I've tried mailing and tweeting different mail addresses and Twitter handles but no response.
And I do recall the 360 game was unavailable way back but I didn't think much of it. And all European PSN stores are missing the PS3 and PSV native Guilty Gear games in addition to Magical Beat (possibly more), and then there's the games that are available, but that tier 2 countries can't buy, like Chaos Code and Blazblue Chronophantasma (released digital only). XBlaze is still nowhere to be seen. I'm not a big fighting gamer but this stuff just makes my blood boil.
Thankfully NISA Europe managed to get a hold of some of their games, so those are in safe hands.

edit: bbcp eu didn't even get all the dlc lol

I'm still mad about that :(. Was really hyped for Blazblue Chronophantasma(and Chaos Code). But nope. Not available for "tier 2" countries. Arc System Works thought "what's a *tier 2 country*?". I'm still wondering why Chronophantasma is available for Luxembourg and Switzerland :/.

And have you tried to contact Arc System Works USA? When I tweeted my complain, I didn't got a response. It's like they only think about USA and other regions are at last :/(like Atlus :X).

This is the reason why I hate Arc System Works :( (next to Atlus). Don't we have a Arc System Works representative on Neogaf?

I'm happy that NISA will release some Arc System Works games(like Under Night In-Rebirth). But still.... Where's Chronophanstasma and Magical Beat? ;_;

So, play-asia are selling Asian PSTV for USD59.99.

Worth it? They claim you can use the US store and US retail games, so I assume the same would be true for EU once the EU store goes live.

Edit: Pulled the trigger. I don't think I'd have paid full price for one, but this seems too good to pass up.

So how's Rainbow Moon? Worth downloading?

Got the plat for it way back on PS3 and think it was a pretty fun game, albeit not the deepest, prettiest or most innovative one. But it's a nice time sink without major problems or annoyances, you have lots of content to explore, a simple but functional battle system and some decent character progression system in terms of skills and weapons. I'd say to give it a try.

Anyone else had this happen:

I have AC: Unity pre-ordered from US PSN. It has been showing "pre-ordered"-status in the window with the countdown since I ordered it. Well, today I was just browsing the store and suddendly AC Unity is showing just the pre-order price, like I haven't purchased it? All my other pre-orders all still showing the "pre-ordered"-status. When I check the game in the Library, it does show the countdown, but also gives me the price option, unlike other pre-orders I can see in the Library.

WTF? Should I be worried there might be an issue with the pre-order?

EDIT: Seems to be an issue... http://community.us.playstation.com...-s-Creed-Unity-Pre-Order-Problem/m-p/44712233

It's a killer deal, I'd be there if I could.

Don't know if this has been mentioned before? Or if someone else is having this same issue or not?
But my fat PS3 keeps freezing upon trying to load the playstation store. Right now it's doing a system check, to check for file corruption?

I tried deleting the psStore, and tried reinstalling it again....to no avail obviously.
What the fuck is going on with PSN these days?
 
PSN is working fine for me, just like always I remote played Destiny through the Vita before leaving for school to buy this week's item from Xur and get the bounties for when I come back.

I've mailed ASW Japan and USA since the European site didn't work for a while, and ASW Europe, and I've tweeted ASW USA and the European Blazblue account. I think I even mailed Aksys to see if they could squeeze out an answer. But no response from anyone.

Atlus are pretty bad but at least they get their games out everywhere... eventually. And people can actually communicate with them. ASW doesn't seem to give a shit about anything that isn't Japan or North America.

And if you want Chronophantasma on Vita you better import it, since ASW Europe submitted it for classification. :(

The timing just happened to work out well for me. Amazon screwed up my Sunset Overdrive pre-order, so I cancelled that and am using the budget I (well, the wife) had allocated for that instead. SO will have to wait.

Damn, this is tempting... but I'll let pass since I have no spare memory card to use with it (nor the cash to get both the VitaTV and a new memory card).
