Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | May 2013 | Lovecraftian Wasteland

Damn, Rymdkapsel is really good. I didn't even realise how much time had passed when I was playing it.

Best PSM game I've played by far. I'll try Passing Time soon.

Also, Nunnageddon if you've not played it. http://www.danielcakegames.co.uk.gridhosted.co.uk/

Also, an interview with Dan if you want to read a bit about it before buying http://punkandlizard.com/interview-daniel-scales-creator-of-nunnageddon/

I was gonna buy Nunnageddon too, but since you can't 'add to cart' on Vita or browse PSM games on the webstore, I didn't want to keep adding £5 for individual PSM games. D:

I'll grab Nunnageddon and Passing Time the next time I have a couple £ left over from PSN games.

It's ridiculous that there is no cart on Vita. Whose boneheaded idea was that?

Probably the same guy who decided to lock the Vita to one account at a time, and to gouge with a proprietary memory card.

Two out of three of these can be fixed in a firmware update. Why not :(

Hi. My name is IceBreak and I own a Vita.

I just recently got my account approved and figured this thread should probably be the first one I reply to. As a way to say hello, here is a 1920x1080 wallpaper I made for the platform a while back in its original lossless png form:

Hey! Welcome welcome. That wallpaper is a bit too sexy I might have to rock it on my Vita, which now has one homescreen and a ton of folders :3

I'm so into P4G now... sigh I should have saved it for the summer drought and focused on progressing in Soul Sacrifice with everyone else. Now when I go back to all these multiplayer games no one will be playing ;(

Hey, it is big shot mod from Reddit.

Haha, welcome!
 
do you think a no more heroes sequel would be a good fit on vita?

for some reason i'm having a craving for it.. i think its the art style i miss the most.

woo! welcome IceBreak!! enjoy your stay
 
I'm not sure anyone saw my post the other day.
Everyone should try The Pinball Arcade, especially since it is free w/ starter pack on NA PS+

The game is surprisingly fun. I fucking love pinball and I didn't even know it 'til now.

Welcome, IceBreak! Stay and while, and listen... and share... and err... Hi!

So with Yu-Nama on PSM and such (Wake Up Club theme?), does it seem likely we'll see a new No Heroes Allowed on Vita eventually?

Along with the Tokyo Jungle Pet avatar items, I've been plesantly surprised with how much Sony seems to remember the brand.

I'd be up for whatever they wished to do with it!
 
Lmao I think I might have overdid it with my new avatar. Please let me know if it's too much?

Also: SENRAN KAGURA WILL BE MINE! I'm finally going to get it ... probably this coming paycheck.

Welcome, new Vitabro. Awesome wallpaper. I'm definitely going to put that on my Vita.

This summer doesn't as bad as last summer at least. I remember there were almost no new releases of note after Gravity Rush until the wave of games in October.

Dragon's Crown -> Tearaway -> AC3: Liberation -> Gravity Rush -> Persona 4 -> Soul Sacrifice -> Killzone -> Uncharted -> LittleBigPlanet -> Escape Plan

Edit: Effort ninja'd!

Yes, I just played it. Here's my review:

You like FTL? BUY IT.

Hell, do you like games? GET THIS GAME NOW.

Oh, I so would like to. As a matter of fact, I've been trying to. The problem is just that at least from where I am in Canada, you can't install Pinball Arcade for the Vita since downloading it gives you an error code. There are dozens of people who have already complained about it on the PS blog, and Grace Chen has also acknowledged that they know about the problems, but no one knows when they will fix it. :(
 
Damn really? It is kind of expensive though.

And is it me or are the psm releases improving? There have been pretty good releases these past few weeks.

It's worth it, honestly. It shouldn't even be in the PS Mobile category. It looks great, it controls great, and I just spent 2 hours on it.

Hell I'm surprised Toma hasn't talked about it yet.

The game is like a combination of RTS + FTL + Tetris.

Yes Tetris. I'm not kidding on that one.

Wish I could buy this, but they didn't release the game in Australia, and I don't really want to bother with the hassle of swapping accounts. :(

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I agree that Rymdkapsel is the best PSMobile game on the store, I've spent many hours with it already. And Passing Time is really nifty from what I played so far. If the What Did I Do To Deserve This? puzzle game really has a Tetris Attack level of depth to it, that'll be three in a short span that really sell the service.
 
Rymcapsel, which I'm sure I just spelled incorrectly, is crazy, crazy good.

I would love a vita specific version with maybe the graphics in a FTL-ish style.

So kind of funny story, well probably not really but I have a morbid sense of humor.

I was walking out of work tonight and it was dark out. I still have occasional pauses with my heart that cause me to get momentarily dizzy and one happened right as I was about to step over a curb into the parking lot. Well I lost my balance, stumbled for a bit then came crashing down. I landed right on my chest and jerked my arm all to hell and bit my lip. So my elbows were bleeding, my mouth was bleeding, I landed right on the spot where my pacemaker is and it was hurting unusually bad but my first and only thought was oh shit my Vita! It was in the front pocket of my lunch pack only protected by one of those cloth mario bags from Club Nintendo and I had watched it like it was in slo mo go flying out of my hand and come crashing down right on the front where the vita was. I quickly gathered my stuff and limped to my car chest flaring in pain. I slowly pulled the Vita out expecting the worst and turned it on. Lo and behold it lights up the bubble screen with no scratches or cracks. This fucking thing can take a pounding.

There aren't many of those, but not a lot, I believe a few thousand sales.

Heck, Penguin Party is pretty decent, and it's literally free. It had an in-app purchase, but it's a thank you donation to the developer (okay, it also gives your penguins a top hat, but mostly it's just a donation). It only just hit 10,000 downloads. If only 10,000 people download a free game, something is wrong. Even with the tiny Vita userbase, that's still terrible.


To be fair, Penguin Party isn't even available in all PSM countries. I can't find it in the german store.

Still, numbers are abysmal.

Also, Nunnageddon if you've not played it.

Also not available in Germany...

Welcome!!!

I can't install the game!!! It's impossible.

I sent an email (support@pinballarcade.com) to devs and told me this:

"Hello Jorge, it seems that there is a blossoming issue happening on the Sony platforms. We are currently endeavoring to figure out what is causing the problem, who's end it's on, and how to fix the issue. Please continue to be patient. We should have a patch out for this soon if it is on our end".

And in Facebook they told me this:

"The problem there lies with sony, a customer found this out and recently sent us this message: "As far as I can tell, the C2-13270-3/C2-12383-7 bug is something that can only be resolved by Sony. My understanding is that an error occurred due to high traffic at the time of purchase, which results in my profile being locked into downloading a corrupted version of the game. When I download the game, the entry for Pinball Arcade Vita (115MB) appears, then a second download starts, titled Pinball Arcade (161MB) which has no thumbnail image. The Vita download will fail at 15% like clockwork, first giving the C2-13270-3 error message, later attempts to install give the C2-12383-7 error message. The 161MB download simply gives a message stating (the application could not be found). This bug started in December of last year with a bundled version of one of the Motorstorm games, so my guess is that is has something to do with DLC-heavy titles. The only solution I can find involves having Sony delete the purchase from your download list, then re-purchasing the title via a voucher (or in my case, simply using the PS Plus freebie. If there are any alternatives, please let me know.""
