Runner 2 and Mutant Mudds today! Woo! Haven't been very excited about any recent Vita releases for the last couple of months (besides Tearaway) but I'm definitely excited about these.
 
I think it will be understandable if Minecraft is not cross-buy, but it must be cross-play. They can't expect such a social game to be relegated to Vita-only players on the Vita.

Wasn't Famous teasing an infamous vita title? Then again, such a project would probably be handled like God of War PSP was handled, not by the IP's Developer.

If they ever make an Infamous for Vita it will definitely be outsourced to some shovelware 3rd party studio.

Even former portable-focused studios like Bend or Ready At Dawn are now too good for the Vita.

Also, it's probably going to be a port, not a sequel.

Is it true that Studio Liverpool is back? Would love another Wipeout from them.

No. There's just been more splinter studios.

Has it been answered if Terraria is going to be cross-buy?

The answer is no.

I kind of doubt Bend feels this way. Earlier in the year they were pretty keen on working on more Vita stuff, so if they only have a PS4 game in development now that's due to Yoshida.

Tried Dragon's Crown for the first time last night, seems like it could be really cool.

p3p pissed me off because I was used to how p4g handled death in that you just respawned at the start of the level. p3p threw me back to my last save :(
I have a PSP Go so I would just make save states whenever I thought I was fucked. :lol

Nobody is seriously buying Angry Birds at that price, right?

Right?

Hello VitaGAF, some advice please.

The last console I owned was the N64. The last handheld I owned was the original Gameboy. I've been pretty much PC only since around 2000, but over the summer I bought a PS3 for The Last of Us, and got PS+ too and started picking up Vita games from that. I'm a recent, very happy owner of a Vita (managed to grab a £99.99 deal from HMV). Now, bear in mind I haven't played a single PS game apart from Metal Gear Solid (I played the PC version), or any major Playstation franchise, what PS classic games should I pick up that I've missed to play on the Vita?

What's wrong with Persona 3 Portable? I'm really enjoying it so far. My only other Persona experience is P4 Golden. I'm playing both simultaneously and enjoying them equally.

I still want a psp go so badly. It'd be nice to play some PSP/PS1 classics without needing to take my tank of a case for the Vita. Would take me back to when I'd just toss my GBA SP in my pocket and be good to go. Wish the NiB ones weren't $120+.

Gives me handcramps after 2 mins of play.

It's the worst handheld I used since GBA micro (also handcramps machine with the same issues). both should've never existed.

It doesn't bother me. If it makes you feel any better though I only got it because my old PSP 1000s analog nub wasn't working properly anymore and my friend happened to be selling the Go for like $75. Wanted a working analog nub and some more system memory.
 
I bought a PSP Go a year ago off a kid for $30 with an extra 16 GB memory card included. When I booted it up, there were photoshopped porn pictures of Selena Gomez on it.
 
ND should not waste their time and talents on irrelevant Crash.

do not want.

Just when I think your taste can't be any worse...

Has it been answered if Terraria is going to be cross-buy?

Really?

Also, it's probably going to be a port, not a sequel.

I said exactly this when mortimer was teasing it and got shot down. It's supposed to be an original title, a la Killzone: Mercenary.

Doesn't sound like torture to me.

Doesn't work in NA.

Nothing. Welcome to Toto being Toto.
(I believe his major complaints, or some of them at least, were that there were no anime cutscenes and there was no 3D town exploration.)

I'm going to buy P3P after I beat P4G. Are you able to save any time or is it like P4G where you could only save at certain points?

Just make sure you wait til it's on sale if in NA. It's been $9.99 reguarly in the last 6 months.

If I ever see a PSP Go on sale, maybe I'll grab it -- I have enough PSP games that I could take the majority of them off my Vita and save some precious GB for Vita games.
 
When will Sonic Racing Transformed be free for Vita?

The user is from the UK... I think.

Just stating the facts for those who might see your post and think "I need to get CTR on my Vita", intended user or not. :)

it's a valid question

but i have no idea

It was valid the first 70123x it was asked.
It will be free either 12/24 or 12/31.

I *really* do NOT like the Murfy levels in Rayman Legends. Effin' gold cups.

can you please post some impressions from your time with the demo?

Its an old school 2d game. You have a gun that you shoot enemies with and you have 3 hearts(hits) before you die. The game was kinda difficult at times but it wasn't unfair. The thing I liked the most was these secret worlds that would make the game look like a Virtual Boy console. The artstyle is also pretty cool. Keep in mind however that the 3D effect really made the game pop and that's something that will be lost on the Vita. The game has different planes, so you can switch between the background and foreground (kinda like Donkey Kong 3ds and LBP where you can move back and forth). $10 for both versions is pretty good considering its around $15 on 3ds I think. Its also on iOS but its definitely not a game you want to play with a virtual pad.

Here's some gameplay

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQvqCGxVS24

I personally think this game will be awesome with the Vita D-Pad and Oled screen. The 3D effect on it was definitely cool but its not something that's needed to enjoy it. The developers of the game are pretty talented so I hope they find some success with this on Vita and bring over more stuff.

It's also on Steam.

How long do I have to purchase Dragon's Crown before the discount goes away? You guys think that it will go again soon? I simply have too much to play right now so I don't want to buy it and then have it sit around when I could have just waited for another sale.

@Frost

Thanks didn't know that

Thanks for your impressions. guess I'll get it.

Dragon's Crown is horrible, stay away from it (don't listen to Corrosivefrost he is good person and I like him but DC is boring-fest)

*other people hate it as well
Worst of 2013

1) Dragons Crown - After loving Muramasa I thought this might challenge for my best of 2013 but it just didnt do anything for me. The combat was not enjoyable and the game left a lot to be desired in comparison to Muramasa.

<3 you too, Toto. :)
Even though our tastes differ, VitaGAF isn't the same without you. :)

Other than losing points for being on the Vita, is there a reason the Vita version of Blackgate scores a 61 while the 3DS version of Blackgate has a 71?

Hard to tell. Maybe some Nintendo-specific sites scored the 3DS version higher than some of the PS-specific sites rated the Vita version.

I liked it, personally. I can see why someone wouldn't though.

Edit: Oh, top of page. Think this is my first time... Ummm....

Soul Sacrifice is on PS+ get that.

And to go off the beaten path and not suggest the same things as everyone else: get Fate/extra for psp if you like Jrpgs and aren't completely turned off by Japanese VA. Dissidia is also a fun PSP game if you like pretty cutscenes and fun battle sequences and can ignore the fact that the entire story is cringe-inducing.
