awesome! really hope its $35.99 doubt it though

Who knows. It seems like Ubisoft's other games were discounted on PSN, but I'm not 100%. Are you definitely getting it? If so we need to be friends on PSN if we aren't already, for the leader boards on the challenge mode.

I'm getting it hopefully sometime this week once I get paid.
Pretty sure I added you last week or something.
 
I forgot Fifa was out this month, and I'd love to get it on Vita, but I just googled and saw the Eurogamer article about Fifa 14 and it looks like it's another reskinned version of the original Fifa on Vita.

Ridiculous. Not even Ultimate Team added!

The saddest thing is it makes EA enough bank to justify shoveling that shit out the door. Would rather just see them cancel it on the Vita then push that bullshit.

Been playing my vita after receiving it this week and also been buying all the vita games from PS+ the past year.
I also own an iphone5 and ipad mini and I just can't see myself buying many more ios games now. The joysticks and dpad make a HUGE difference and I never feel hamstrung when playing on it.
Personally I don't care if it never becomes an app device, I just want to see great games on it.
Absolutely loving this little device and if remote play on the PS4 is as good as it looks then it will have a bright future in my house.

as you said it seems like it makes them just enough money, blame Konami for being incompetent and ignoring the handheld market all together.
 
So I'm thinking, what if Sony eventually lets us change our PSN names, it would be great to change mine to match my GAF username. So, I go to PSN profiles and type in my GAF username...well some douche is already using it. Great, just great.

He hasn't earned a trophy in 3 years! This kinda sucks.

Yes it's pretty good.

if you ok with PSP games on Vita get Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles (for Symphony of the Night) if you don't have it already.

SotN is available as a PSOne game also if Rondo of Blood doesn't interest you, or you live in a place that doesn't have Dracula X Chronicles digital, like me :(

The new Vita Mega Pack - Sports and Racing:

Everybody's Golf
ModNation Racers: Road Trip
MotorStorm RC
Top Darts
Table Mini Golf
Table Top Tanks
Gran Turismo (PSP)
Wipeout Pulse (PSP)

Asides from Everybody's Golf it seems like a bit of a downgrade from the last Mega Pack to me.

Might pick it up depending on the price, I don't own any of those games but have been interested in Everybody's Golf for a while.

So have there been any news about Pirate Warriors 2 on Vita or is it Project Diva f all over again, immediately the next week after?

I guess there may be chances of an Asia English version though?

SCE guys are true masters when it come to pickup multiplat games for publishing on their systems. (Epic Mickey 2, Cars 2, Ghostbuster)

Instead of Epic Mickey, I think they should have ported Disney Infinity. That kind of game is pretty popular these days (although I found them the most despicable form of DLC ever. Well, the second after retailer specific preorder DLCs.).
 
So I bought a 16gb card off of Amazon and it has been dispatched today. The delivery date is the 17th though wtf is up with that
 
What happened to the Sly Cooper Trilogy on Vita? Was it ever confirmed to be coming, or was it all based on the ratings board website showing it? Would be cool to have it on Vita, I have finished 1+2 but never played 3.

What's the community like for this game (UK Vita if that makes a difference). I quite enjoyed the demo, thought that it would be pretty decent to play the game online with others.

Online play is the best part of this game (with party chat). But it Seem like most of the online community is only doing high level ranked mission since the game has been out for such a long time and the free DLC mission are ending this month with the Gods. The game is still worth it for the story alone, it has one of the best story I've seen this whole console gen.

edit: the other sorcerer stories are also great most people will agree.

The hunting community one the Vita might be moving over to toukiden next.

Is there a possibility of Sony releasing a case with R2 and L2 buttons? Dualshock form, simple mechanism where something hits the rear pad and make it work. It would be easy, just use a material that the rear pad recognizes. It could do wonders when remote-playing at home.
They wouldn't even need some rear pad gimmick from a hardware add-on, the Vita has that mysterious expansion port next to the game slot that nothing uses. An R2/L2 add-on is probably incredibly feasible, but watch Sony never come out with anything.
 
So there's only one more DLC pack for Soul Sacrifice after tomorrow, right? They haven't announced any more besides the costumes we probably won't get in the US?

Just picked up my 32GB card, restoring my 8GB backup onto it, and hopefully will be able to dive right into Rayman Origins. It will be really nice to have all of my games loaded on the system and still have room for music.

Well I got a vita today! I'll probably be putting a screen protector on it and buying a case. I see there's a Hori and official protector. Which one would you guys recommend? They're both basically the same price.

Hahaha, do you live at the south pole? Seriously, though, in my experience they almost always over-estimate the delivery time.

I recommend the Hori one, it has a really easy installation that you can't really fail if you follow instructions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM-fTzN4RR0

Protects the entire front and is near invisible.

Although above either of those I would recommend one of those skins that cover the entire front, like the P4G or muramasa ones. They cover every bit of the front except the speakers/sticks/buttons and essentially give your vita a matte texture, meaning no more fingerprints from regular use.

The community is fairly active. I'm from UK and I'd be happy to play with you if you get the game.

Yo guys,

have any of you bought a USB third party cable before? My official USB cable has crapped out and I started using a third party one I had. The only problem is that it is too tight and fear that I may destroy my Vita port from the constant charging, as I have to force the cable out.

Can anyone recommend some good third party USB cables that fit right?

I'm playing through Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy at the moment and the frame rate is testing my patience.

It's playable and about bearable, but still pretty annoying. I think it makes some parts of the game such as platforming a little harder than they should be.

By being an idiot.

I had issues with dust, so someone recommended I turn on the shower and put the protector on in the bathroom. When I peeled off the film in the final step, I thought I screwed it up but I saw the hair line outline of it on the system. So I figured it worked, crumpled up the plastic, tossed it, and marveled at how well the protector blended in with the system. Turned out that hairline border was moisture built up from the steam, and I'd in fact not put it on.

I've put on dozens of screen protectors for my own gadgets and others, and this was the first major screw up.

I would go ahead and say it's worth the extra couple of bucks to get a legit cable. At least you know they have been made properly.

I couldn't do it. I played for less than 5 minutes and deleted it. I saw a lot of complaints about it but I never thought it could be that bad. I have a PS3 so if I really want to play them there's that. It's a shame it runs so poorly.

Yeah, you're right.

I found the official cradle for $6.99 at Best Buy

So I may just purchase that and keep the USB plugged in to that.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's out of stock everywhere :(

You're at the start of the game? Strangely enough once you get past the first main hub the framerate gets better and I didn't find it annoying anymore.

Jak 2 and 3 though? If Jak 1 is bothering you don't even bother loading those up. Jak 3 in particular is so bad that people should be getting refunds for it.

Cancelling games that can push 100-200k copies sold at retail is the last thing we should be wishing for.

So will I if the game is cross region?

Yep on Sept 24th.

They also had toukiden costumes that we will never get :[

Tried to play vita in bed last night.

Wife complained a out "creaky, clicky buttons"

Turned off vita, picked up iphone5 *sadface*
 
I am failing to see why Resistance is looked at so poorly. The story is pretty lackluster but I am enjoying it so far. For the record, I thought COD was horrendous. I couldn't play COD without getting motion sickness. Resistance feels like a real deal FPS to me.

A few reasons Resistance on Vita was awful:

Terrible graphics in many areas, with jarringly blatant seams in the geometry, glitches galore, and an unstable frame-rate that sometimes teethers on the precipice of unplayable.

Boring, PS2 era corridor shooting levels with nary any cinematic flair in sight.

Broken, piss-poor quality audio that makes N64 sound like a Dolby Digital certified home theater system.

"A to B" AI whose entire level of dynamism involves running out from a door to a certain spot and then just shooting until either your or it is dead.

And last but not least: a multiplayer mode so unfinished and unplayable, that I've seen better online experiences on N-Gage than what was so unashamedly put forth as part of the Resistance tradition of multiplayer.

So sure, if your benchmark is $5 iOS shooters, Resistance Burning skies isn't that awful. But under the Playstation brand it is pure garbage.
