Yeah, I was thinking the same. Very nice touch.
it has all the same silly squeaky voices from the caddy and player, still has all the crazy backspin/spiral shots, same OTT reaction animations. Really all thats different is a little less clutter on the HUD, everything else is very much HSG. Still cute, still plays a mean game of golf, just prettier courses
Well.. yeah, but I've also bought Wipeout 2048 which has 5 teams and 10 courses, which isn't that much different. Again, apples and oranges like you say, but its not always about the numbers game.
To me, 10 cars and 6 tracks doesn't sound too bad. Nowhere near ideal but, for the budget price of the game im at least considering buying it now.
What's the deal with the single player campaign?
This is the most fun I've had so far on Vita.
Wish there was an OT for it.
do it
What? Too good to be true.

restore basically remove your account detail, date, time, and wifi details.
restoring is very quick, the annoying part is, that after you restore and input your account detail/date/and wifi detail again, it automatically go into unskippable PS Vita intro video showcasing people having fun with Vita and showing various Vita features. it last a couple minute long.

Since it fell behind a bunch of pages, I'll repost.
Some more Gravity Daze shots. I should note before the images too; any area you see in the distance with the weird, cell-shaded kind of outline is reachable. If you can see it, you can get to it. Usual disclaimer applies; the game looks WAY better on the Vita and in motion than in these screen shots.
This above image is the main map screen that displays the primary areas. You can zoom in to where you are for more detailed maps.
This is the mission screen that displays what story and challenge missions you've completed/are currently doing. On the right side is the column for DLC missions.
This is the screen where you can upgrade kitten using the gems you've found/earned from side missions.
Pause screen. Top middle image is where you are currently in-game.

If they update Gran Turismo PSP so that it supports full dual analog controls and such, that would up its value immensely to me.

Is there a way to reset the camera in the game (R3 for most 3rd person action games)?
Oh and I think i'll get Ridge now though I wished it was $19.99.

hmm pretty sure there's a button to recenter camera in the demo. it works like in Monster Hunter game

Is there? Great, I was kinda worried about that when I played the demo, I wish the sticks would click...

just test it, dpad down button to recenter camera. up button to enter first person view
Gross. Do you really play GT with the sticks? I don't play much with a controller but when I do it's with the d-pad and face buttons. I drive 10 times worse with the analog sticks.
One thing I liked about HSG on PS3 is the unique art/shading-style of characters (they actually look like plastic-toys, right down to their hair). That went out on Vita in favor of more "realistic" render :/ (these feel closer to HSG4, one more thing these games have in common with PS2 now (the crazy aliasing was already a staple for the series and they seem intent on keeping it around it seems)).duckroll said:
Can't say I ever liked PSP art much though - allowing lots of customization was nice, but they degraded character detail too much for it.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Whats this mention of May and Gravity Rush up above? Is it not making European launch on digital after all? Whats going on with this games english language release anywhere... I need it. quickly.
You are in the very small minority on this one.
edit: Wait I mean left analog and face buttons. Both sticks only is indeed gross.

My bro is getting a Vita at launch so it looks like i'll play it too.
Silly question but I was wondering, if he buys Phantasy Star Portable 2 from the online store and I already have the UMD copy, can we play online together?

Right now PSP2 is not compatible with Vita. But if/when it becomes compatible you should be able to do this fine.

Is there a list of what games don't work as of right now?
Man, two seconds of that guy playing Gravity Daze and I had to exit the stream. So good.
Takao's working on it.
This is the most fun I've had so far on Vita.

Check out Connectify, just be aware that for full functionality you'll need to have a fully supported WiFi adapter in the PC.
That looks OK, however I'm a little worried about the Vita sticks in that case. One of the reasons I'm preferring fully hard cases at the moment.
I'm going to use my 8GB card for smaller games and saves (buying most big games at retail), and pick up a second card when my DD content gets overwhelming. For now the only DD games I'm looking at are WO, Escape Plan and SS.
I think you press and hold the touchscreen while in game.
It gets a lot of hate for the loading, but MNR on PS3 is a ton of fun. Most fun I personally remember having with a kart racer since SMK - drifting is perfect and the weapons are both harsh (when you don't have a means to defend them) AND fair (when you do).

MNR:RT is still a flawed game, but it's a damn fun one. And chock full of content, too!

The perception of hype around a launch of anything new depends on a few things. It depends on how much your looking forward to it, the marketing push from the product, what the people you surround yourself with think, and how busy you are in your life.
It's hard to judge what the hype behind a console is, but I definitely understand how you feel. Almost no one I personally know is excited about Vita, knows about Vita, or even cares about Vita. However, it was the same way for the 3DS. So at this point, I am not really sure.
I think the launches for the 3DS and the Vita aren't as exciting because they weren't released in a similar timeframe. There isn't any competition for release day (or month). For example, the PS3 and Wii launch had a ton of coverage, and I believe that had to do with them both being really new and powerful and being in a similar timeframe.
I think if Vita and 3DS were launching at the same time, there would seem to be more hype. It definitely feels like media coverage on the Vita (online) has been a bit weak.
Could you tally up which PSP games are compatible?
See here. Many games are incompatible. Nobody is sure if the list will be updated before launch.

Wow, that is a serious let down. Almost everything I was wanting isn't available right now.

It's a long list by the looks. (well, looks like it to my uneducated eyes
the Ys games are only $14.99! Will def be picking those up, too.Man-is-Obsolete

Kinda in the same boat as you. My friends don't care much for any handheld, though I do know a handful that are getting the Vita.
Oh, and why do the Japanese have to troll us with livestreams of Gravity Rush? Hang it over our heads why don't ya.

There are plans to add support for everything else, right? I can't believe PS Minis aren't playable right now.
Man-is-Obsolete

That list can't be complete because Peace Walker for the PSP has been shown on the Vita before. Digital Foundry even did a comparison photo of it.
That was the Japanese version, which is available on the Japanese store.

So maybe the US store hasn't completely updated yet? Thought they planned for the update next week but started things a little early.
Yep. Maybe. Nobody knows. Though they said that 250 games (minis and PSP) would be available at launch, which is about how many there are right now.

But more and more will show up over time, right?
That's what the statement said, yes. Hundreds more.
That's what they fed us in Europe for PS2 games on PS3......then six months later they took it away completely

Just a quick question: Can I play the PSP games I bought from the PSN Store? As in, right now lol?
On a Vita? If they are on that list, yes.

This has really put a damper on my excitement for it. I may wait until more support has been added.

We're still two weeks away from the official launch, but I seriously hope Sony add all previously available PSP games to the Vita PSN store (except for the bugged Phantasy Star Portable games).

Well, how does it look on JP store today? Are all or most PSP games available on the Vita? This will probably answer our question of what Sony thinks of PSP game compatibility on the Vita.
