Btw with the chess game can you select the location and chess set separately?

So say you want to play in the park but with the roman pieces?

Some pieces allow to be chosen separately, others only work as "set". Cant confirm with the romans as I dont have them.

Anyone else looking forward to S&ASRT? I haven't heard much about the Vita version. I hope online multiplayer Battle Arena mode is intact.

Yeah I just preordered it today once I figured out that the port is good. I think the multiplayer is the exact same as PS3's except 8 players instead of 10.

1. Yeeha, I broke the 20 in a row:

FamousMortimers last one was reeeeally close for me. Almost got me with that one.

2.

I made like... 40-50 screenshots in that area. This area has really nice lighting and some awesome textures. The stone tower in the middle of that room isnt even just a "flat" texture, but it actually has some "bricks" standing out when viewed from the side. Nice detail.

The game is hugely impressive visually. If they can get their next game native res, I'd say it would be a lock for best looking handheld game...well, I guess it could be argued that Uncharted GA already IS the best looking handheld game lol.

I'd still say Wipeout looks better, and I have no clue why someone said UC looks better (although it can be really gorgeous at times). Native res alone is a huge difference, and Wipeout is absolutely stunning.

I think Wipeout looks better, but I can easily see why somebody would think UC does. Insane lighting, texturing, character models, environments, and advanced effects like dynamic shadowing/lighting and SSAO.

Hm, I think this is what he meant that UC is better on "a technical" level then I guess. But man, when seeing Wipeout I cant help but think how UC might have looked in native res..

Man, I just noticed Wild Arms and Alundra are only 5,99$ on the store. That is way too tempting. (PS1 games EVERYONE should have played that either likes Zelda games (Alundra) or RPG's (Wild Arms))

Has everyone played them? HMMM?

Cheesemeister's translation, and my typesetting versus SCE's translation and typesetting. Go!

Its interesting to see how a different font changes the mood of the lines. I dont really like either of those fonts though. The chopstix one is really uncomfortable to read in some panels and almost sticks out of the speech bubbles, whereas the ps one looks cleaner but way too generic and missing some impact.
Chopstix clearly wins with the translation though. Way more on spot and better feel of the emotion in the panels.

Overall Chopstix wins.
Sorry
 
Okay guys!

I just had a brilliant idea for a touchy feely Vita game I would want to play.

However it has to overcome the severe handicap of being the worst Musou game ever.

Hokuto Musou / Ken's Rage could be awesome if they make the game play non-shitty, then use the front touch screen to press the tsubo required to make dudes heads explode instead of the shitty QTE simon bullshit on the consoles.

Then they can use the rub-rub pad on the back for the parts where you line of your fingers then poke them into dudes head or neck!

YEAH!

That would be hypothetically awesome, but first the Hokuto Musou games need to stop sucking balls. :(

I agree, that was the worst musuo game I've ever played.

Huh, do they call her princess or queen in the Japanese version?

I want to say she's referred to as "Gravity Queen" in the English translation of the game itself, but it's been a few months ... I wouldn't know the Japanese side though. I did the typesetting for the version on Chopstixz, Cheesemeister did the translation. The font I choose was kind of janky for readability, but eh I thought it looked nice with the page design.

Can you not charge the vita off USB connection to a PC? I thought I saw an option in there. Am I missing something?

Question about backing up games to the PC. Say I backed up games from one vita. Can I then transfer those games to my second vita? Same account is being used on both Vitas. It doesn't seem to like me moving memory cards back and forth (database corruption error) so I'm wondering if this is a workaround?

Yeah, they do call her Gravity Queen in the English version. It's a weird change if she is called Princess in Japanese.

Anything decent I can get with $5.44? I heard the Walking Dead PS3 game was good. I'm also considering buying/renting a movie but I dunno. Anything Vita-related (PSP/PS1/Vita)?

Both P4G and VLR were my 1st purchase when I bought my Vita as well. Good choice!
I just got around to them because the Wii U launch took up all my time. Nintendo consoles are the best. I'm still not sure if I'm going to get a PS4 so I was savouring the potential last console launch for me in the next 6 years.

Going straight for the best games, I like you!
Well technically my first games were Rayman Origins and WipEout (launch Vita owner). But yeah VLR and P4G are probably the best games on the Vita. So pumped to play through them.

(About S&SAS:RT) I'm not convinced tbh.. a bit underwhelmed with that level. PS3 demo was really good. That is less than what I expected especially after hearing all this talk about framedips with the action. When it looks like that..I'd want it to be rock solid... especially at £35

Modnation should be forgotten and the visuals of NFS:MW forgiven considering the scope of that game...but this is a bit disappointing. It seems like a 3DS port to me. Sorry to be that guy... Hope I am wrong..still early yet.

You've played the game?

No I haven't yet (only the ps3 demo) - I meant the videos of that Sonic level and the reports from 2 neogaf users and comments in one of those youtube videos from the uploader..that's why I'm still hopeful..but seems like it's not solid. Hopefully won't be annoying like modnation was...

Also the screenshots.. tbh half of them are not good. Looks better in motion..but some of those (main) textures :/ - from the screenshots not the videos, from a different level

Just doesn't look that optimised, or as I was hoping for anyway. But it does look fun and playable, really hope I'm way off though.

Well if Totobeni isn't down on the game, someone had to take up the mantle. Sorry it had to be you, Skyzard. It's a thankless job.

The Wreck it Ralph thing is really the only downright bad thing I've seen. They definitely should have used a nice 2D win pose after a race.

Wild Arms is awesome.

I've been playing through Alundra on and off for a while now...its pretty damn good so far.
 
Hey.

What's the best way to switch between PSN accounts without nerfing my saves and stuff.

Just the normal way-- (two memory cards, one for each account)

(Sync trophies if you haven't), Restore system, don't format memory card, switch memory cards on power-down, sign in using other account.

Also, no need to deauthorize each time if you'll be switching back and forth a lot.

I wish it were a lot easier... damnit Sony. All I want to do is take a picture of the discounted FF Type-0. :(

From the screenshots and videos and from what people have said, it's good.



Well, to be fair, there was good reason. Sega didn't release a single bit of information on the game.

Thanks for the info. I've been away and haven't seen these videos until just now. It looks fantastic!

I'd do it for you right now, but mine shows 500 yen because of UMD passport =/ (Although it does mention the price in orange in the info -- if you want a pic, let me know)
