Dustforce related. I meant with HyperboleGaf to the fact the game is not playable or is a terrible port , it is not , as i stated before i tried 3 different versions of the game and the problems are similar in all of them , even on high end pcs the game struggles sometimes but still, is not near as bad as for example MGS3D or Jak n Daxter. So the game is perfectly playable , except for some parts where that slowdown appears and bothers you. Thats why im saying , download the Demo dont listen to GAF and judge for your own.

I haven't seen anyone call it unplayable. I would personally call it a bad port though. To me, the slowdown is bad enough to justify calling it such. It's not how the game is intended to run and play. What it is, however, is playable. I'm stil getting enjoyment out of it. I'm just very disappointed in the performance and I think warning others of what they might get into is a good thing to do even with a demo available.
Your HyperboleGaf post read to me like you were calling us liars, I don't think that's what you meant now that you clarified it in the above post but it came across to me that way initially.

It's not happening :(

God bless Atlus. The Square of our time. Even if their games don't sell millions, they've released some of the finest Japanese games (especially JRPGs) from the past few years.

That reminds me I need to try EO.

So what do you think guys , Vita Global Hardware Sales will reach the 10 Million this year? I hope so, will Vita have more games selling above de 1M figure?(like Uncharted)

I think it'll reach 10 million units this year. I dunno about million sellers. Is confirmed U:GA has reached those sales?

If not, I'll bet first Vita million seller will be Persona 4 Golden. It has already suprassed 800.000 units shipped. More Vita users, more PSN sales and more worth of mouth will make it climb slowly to that milestone. I don't think that game is going to hit PS+ anytime soon.

According to VG Charts website Vita has already that amount worldwide

according to this website (playstation lifestyle) only in 2013 vita sold more than 4M

and there is this gamefaq that says it reached already more than 7M http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/620272-playstation-vita/68216521?page=8

pro tip:

don't trust vidyagaemcharrtzzz, nor Sailor Goon on gamefaqs. And be careful posting chartz numbers on this forum as it is prohibited by the TOS (banned site)

We know that PSP/Vita combined sold 2mill Q3, 0,8 mill Q2 and 0,6 million Q1. They sold 7 million together last (fiscal) year. We have no way of knowing what the split is afaik.

Gamefaq is using chartz as a source. I seriously doubt the 4M number is right as well, since it's dead outside Japan, and only did 1M in Japan.
Cheers, will do. Funny that the description says the bonus one is a limited time offer
Yeah, it's pretty weird

Yeah I really don't like Dustforce. I didn't like it when I tried it round a friends house a while back but I was hoping I might get more of a feel for it on Vita so I downloaded the trial anyway. Nope. Still don't like it. Oh well.

Patcher said Vita sold 4.2 million consoles in 2013 (even if you don't believe his prediction, he is informed about those things).

We know the Vita sold 2.2 million units by June 2012.

We know the Vita sold like 350.000 units from June to December 2012 in Japan.

We know the Vita sold 160.000 units on US 2012 Black Friday.

That means without having the 100% of the data we know it's sold at leat 6.9 million hardware to date.

Look for the info in Google. I've read those numbers in the press, I'm 100% sure I've read those numbers in reliable sites (Media Create was Week 52 2012 LTD - Week 24 2012 LTD, others are press articles read sometime somewhere).

I personally think Vita will hit 10 million this year.

The price has come down a lot and is almost at impulse buy territory in certain regions, and the library is at a point where you can't say the "Vita has no gaems".

You either like the genres the Vita offers, or you don't. But you can't say it has no games.

the picture reminds me that I have to A+ the last couple of chapters to 100% the original before the sequel arrives! ;)

and if the numbers RalchAS has are correct, I think it should reach 10 or maybe even 11 million too LTD. It's doing much better in japan at least so far, the first couple of NPDs will be very revealing.

Oh? I thought it was just at 5M. Scratch my earlier prediction. I believe it could reach 10M.

Noticeable frame rate dips in precision-based platforming seems like a huge issue though. Especially when the game promotes competition between its players like I understand Dustforce is.

Speaking of, has Spelunky been fixed yet regarding frame-rate dips?

What framerate dips? Spelunky runs perfect on my Vita.

Maybe it's overclocked.
 
Spelunky still has framerate issues on Vita. The game runs fine for the most part, but there are still certain level types that can drag the framerate way down.

is dyad ever coming to vita, or was that one quote of the developer saying he wanted to make a vita version the last time he ever mentioned it (2012)?

Some Japanese shopkeepers reported that Sony indeed has ended OG Vita production.
Though IMO everyone was assuming this was coming (or already done).

Kinda sad but if you want OLED model then you better get one now.
 
Quick question, not sure if anyone will know this: A friend and I are kicking around the idea of doing a dopey video game commentary show using the PS4's broadcast capabilities. We are on opposite sides of the country so I was wondering if we started a party chat of some sort (if and when that's enabled on PSN) would both of our voices from the party chat be broadcasted onto twitch or w/e?
 
After playing a ton of Spelunky on PC lately, this was the first thing I thought when I loaded it up on Vita last night to check out that random weapon in a crate in 1-2.

I didn't really mind it with Spelunky, but it's a problem with Dustforce imo. Played a few levels back to back on PC and Vita, and I feel like it doesn't really work on the small screen as it is right now, even ignoring the other problems it has.

The PC version don't even work with controllers as far as I tested. That's even more unacceptable for me than slowdowns.

I actually find Spelunky easier to play on Vita than on PC/PS3. The smaller screen makes it easier to pay attention to what's going on. For me at least.

I'm still holding out hope that Isaac will be out this year, but if it isn't then this is my most anticipated game of the year. I really hope they have stuck to the same formula as the first.

Day fucking one.

Also Futurlab gave us a pretty looking Surge Deluxe wallpaper to use for our Vita


I kind of feel bad, because I've stumbled across basically all of their games for free through PS+ and PSM freebies, so this is the first game of theirs I've actually had to pay for, and I've had so much fun with all of them. So glad to have them backing the Vita.

Why are you reading my tag instead of the title of my post?
Metal Slug XX is ok, at best. After MS X and 3, everything is divided in "been here, done that" or "piece of shit"
This is the problem I have with some reviews. Do this for me please. Review XX for me as if I have never ever played a Metal Slug game. That's the opinion I want.

Just fyi, referencing any of those sites for numbers will get you banned. Don't do it.

I'm the only one not particularly excite for Hotline Miami 2 =/ Never understood why people like it That much. But that's okay, it'll hopefully be coming around close to V2X, and Volume (I really want Volume). Indie games with verbal stories are my favorite things when pulled off right.

Has there been any hint of changes or improvements to HM2?

Im guessing the typical more weapon, ways to kill, masks... But any other tweaks to gameplay?
