I don't like modern first person shooters. Especially horribly generic and unoriginal ones like Killzone. No point in wasting a beta slot that could be used by someone who cares.

Killzone is shit anyway - especially Killzone 2. I definitely didn't spend ages playing that..

I'm on the fence for Merc to be honest. I want it to do well to demonstrate the capability and viability of the Vita as a platform - but man.. FPS games have to be something EXTRA special to get me to care these days.
 
Finally got approved!! I'm new here and have been lurking here for quite some time, a bit before E3.

I hope to be part of VitaGaf which is why I even signed up for an account in the first place :).

Unfortunately I killed my Vita by dropping it on the way to class :( I will be buying one after GamesCon

You have a code? Care to give me one?

Anyways, i was on twitter spree and 2 codes were given there but damn, they got redeemed within seconds. How the hell do people guess the missing characters o_0
 
Anyone NOT playing Killzone? :(

not playing....yet

gotta get home from work still!

i'm looking forward to it- i'm not the biggest FPS player - the only one i was ever balls to the wall good at was halo 2 ( due to playing it literally every night my freshman yr at college).

i'm still really hyped for this game and think it will be a pleasant addition and change to the vita library - i may end up playing this a lot and learn the levels etc.

how is killzone generic? i can understand not liking killzone, but that's usually because it doesn't play like many other fps or because of the mediocre storylines (which i agree with, but find most fps to fall victim to as well). the artstyle is pretty unique and so is the lore. the gameplay is arguably pretty similar to most fps, but it still stands out on its own, at least enough to piss off many for not being more like cod.
 
Maybe if they were back touch pad swipes? I hate touch controls interrupting button-based gameplay because I have to completely change my holding orientation.

Not sure if back touch works, I don't have the beta (or room on my card for it even, at this point), but that could be an option they could add.

I'd just use my right thumb to try to swipe whatever motion was needed.

The Amiga Brotherhood
Omg superfrog looks glorious! And it's more faithful to the original than expected!
There's even a level editor and an endless runner mode too!
I want to see later levels though, they looked really bad in early shots long time ago, i hope they look as good as early levels.

Me. I didn't get in to the beta... but I would have waited for release anyway.

Has this Dragons Crown interview been posted? Still not a fan of the character design, but holy fuck it looks gorgeous on the Vita. Will be supporting, because we need more games like this
but with art more to my tastes, please

PSVita bros, I HAVE JOINED YOU! :) My (spoiled rotten) nephew was about to trade in his PSV, so I gave him $50 for it & everything he had for it instead. :lol

I just need a little advice....

Alright, so here's what I have:
PSVita (white)
16GB memory card
Gravity Rush
MvC3
LBP
Katamari

The only thing he didn't have was the charging cable & AC adapter. Do you guys think I should order the official Sony ones?

Also, I won't be getting PS+ until I get a PS4 next year.

Dude, get PS+ now anyway and then just keep adding all the free games that come up to your download queue using the Sony Entertainment Network portal of Playstation store on your PC.

Here:

https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/

You have no idea how many free games you're going to miss out on for your Vita (and on PS3) by waiting until next year to start PS+.

It's an FPS on a handheld that isn't shit. Does it really get much more special than that?

WTF how do I get a code or into KZ vita!!??!?!?!?!?

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKK please PM dummy account now!

I read a few pages back that there was a sign up and no one on the Vita threads kept posting this shit? Really?

If some kind soul gets a US Beta code and doesnt care, please hook me up!

So, there's plenty of FPSes out there that play and look look Call of Duty, and you call out one of the few major franchises that does its own thing as "generic"? Just the visual design alone sets Killzone apart, never mind the weighty controls. And Mercenary itself looks to be doing something fairly unusual with the single player, with more open areas and the ability to fully customize your weapon loadout during the level.
 
Been getting a fair few disconnects on Killzone. I guess it is a beta.

Still annoying getting right near the end of the match just to be kicked.

I think all PSN users that have KZ2 Platinum should get a Beta voucher. All these noobs who dont know what Elite Radec fight is, dont deserve a code.
 
One of my biggest platinum accomplishments! Now just gotta do the new Guacamelee DLC pack, play some Shadow of the Colossus over the weekend, and time for Xillia next week!

Nice!!!
Someday I hope to be there, once I pick it up.

Vita-P4G-Trophy-GAF!!! Help me make sure I get the Hardcore Risette Fan trophy! Gimme tips... she just started doing lines so I took a party of MC-
Teddie-Kanji-Yukiko
into the 1st dungeon and worked down 7f fighting enough... I then switched over to my standard party of MC-
Yosuke-Chie-Yukiko
and went to the 4th dungeon and am working toward the boss. I'm trying to leave people hurt, check everything for strength/weakness/etc... let myself get ambushed, get pre-emptive strike, etc. But looking for anything else I can do to help ensure I'll get the lines requirement met.
 
i'm jealous

Me too, bakemono-kun. After reading the Joystiq review, there's absolutely not reason for me to debate between Vita and PS3 (was leaning Vita anyway). Will wait for a sale though.

What FPS would you consider not "horribly generic and unoriginal"?

I just realized that there's PSP version of Sid Meier's Pirates! up on the store, anyone tried it? I've been been looking for some slower paced games to play on my Vita.
