Is Star Wars: Battlefront II for PSP worth it? Is it similar to the PS2 version?

Never had a PSP, so this is the perfect opportunity to catch up on PSP games while waiting for Gravity Rush

If I had never owned a PSP and just got a Vita, I would be overwhelmed with too many options and not enough money. Have fun!

Nice vid. So is the FEB the only version with AR cards? I was surprised they weren't in the smaller box with the vita.

My Wi-Fi Vita came with AR cards.
They're still in their plastic wrap and lay abandoned on my bedroom floor in the same spot I dropped them upon unboxing my Vita last Thursday.
Should I open them up?

Are the AR apps out? If they aren't I don't think you need to open them yet.

 

[no_to_co]

In case anyone's interested, I got an unboxing video here for the first edition bundle that I did

Thanks for the video. That case looks quite big. Can't wait for mine tomorrow.

Stupid question time - to copy vita games from my ps3 to my vita do I need to "install" them on the ps3 first?

Given that PSP installs were broken with the last firmware update possibly for Vita compatibility, I'm pretty sure that's a "hell no". Plus trying to activate them just tells me to plug in a Vita.

 

[TwIsTeD]

After seeing the Tekken 6 icon during the Giant Bomb Monday stream I was thinking about
Picking it up on PSN, until I saw the god awful $39.99 price...oh well guess I'll have to wonder cause that's way too much to double dip

 

[dallow_bg]

With the caveat that you must at least like some MJ songs, the game is actually kinda fun.

For a music rhythm game, it does seem ok if you're a fan of the music.

 

[Raine]

Hmmm all this talk of PSP games makes me want to buy Peace Walker. Too bad it's 29.99.

Ok but when I go to the transfer util in the XMB it tells me "no content found" or whatever.

 

[d0c_zaius]

Fired up blazblue and the graphic quality is really amazing.

And I can't stress how much better the dpad is. It clicks, it's one exposed piece of plastic (not like the awful segmented dual shock dpad) and its really solid for fighting games.

You are far better off getting it with the rest of the HD Collection on the consoles.

 

[Eusis]

I don't have a Vita on hand, but when I tried to use the file it told me to plug a Vita in with a USB cord then open Content Manager. So I think it's more you have to do everything on the Vita, not on the PS3.

I'm extra curious how it will perform with DJ Max. If the dpad is as good as some agree saying, it may make some songs more playable.

 

[graywolf323]

How many others were there?

two other people picked theirs up at midnight as well and they had a 4th preorder for the First Edition bundle

the manager said they have over 20 for the official launch next week

That sounds hawt. I hated the PSP d-pad so much

Yeah, what's up with NO PSP games being on sale this week on PSN? None! Argh (I h8 that I missed the monster hunter sale 2 weeks ago)

 

[UberTag]

Absolutely true. Although if you happen to double-dip on both versions, Peace Walker is the one non-Vita game you can play on your Vita that can net you trophies through the awesome power of TRANSFARRING.

 

[frequency]

Played a bit of the Rayman demo. It's wonderful.

Besides the MJ screw up (which doesn't hurt us so eh), Ubisoft really did well for this launch. They matched Sony's discount when they didn't have to (we see other publishers didn't... those jerks). And they put out some quality titles.

I was going to wait on Lumines and Rayman because Ubisoft games drop so quickly, but I change my mind. Free MJ kind of helped push me too. I'm going to pick up both Lumines and Rayman tomorrow (physical).

Really impressed with Ubisoft here.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Hey guys, the Playstation Vita comes outs today, anybody getting one?

Spoiler

 

[Wario64]

Yup, shit on Ubisoft all you want, but they provided demos and discount pricing on day one for all their games. Good show

 

[phosphor112]

Just went hunting for some Vita memory cards... good god. I found only 5 4gig sticks. =/

Either the places I went to were sold out or they didn't have stock yet (lol Meijer).

 

[UberTag]

Really impressed with Ubisoft here.

The only real kick in the teeth from Ubisoft is charging $36/$40 for a $15 PSN game with extra trophies (Dungeon Hunter Alliance).
But aside from that blemish (and giving MJ out for free to make up for platinum-deficient Lumines), Ubisoft is the clear all-star performer of the Vita launch.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

For people asking about the Ubi games, when I added Asphalt, Rayman, MJ, and Lumines to my cart, the demos all had options to rate and to buy. Something also to consider when possibly assuming that these indeed are the full games. I'm downloading all 4 anyways. Someone else needs to confirm this. They all let me preview, add to cart, and the whole shabang. Just like it was a full game. And it doesn't say demo when downloading unlike Uncharted (for example) which is a different size from its full version.

Yup, shit on Ubisoft all you want, but they provided demos and discount pricing on day one for all their games. Good show

To be clear, it's been confirmed that MJ is indeed free? And that all others are indeed demos?

 

[anddo0]

Target deal sounds good. I kinda feel like returning Uncharted to Amazon.
If anything, I'll get Ninja Gaiden and Blazblue/or Rayman, with UMvsC3 being the free game.

 

[brettchalupa]

Absolutely true. Although if you happen to double-dip on both versions, Peace Walker is the one non-Vita game you can play on your Vita that can net you trophies through the awesome power of TRANSFARRING.

Sarcasm aside, when you play the PSP version of Peacewalker and transfer your save to the PS3 version, it doesn't unlock trophies nor does it unlock future trophies while playing on that save on the PS3 if started from the PSP.

Edit: I was wrong, corrected the OP.

 

[darkressurection]

Yeah, and Rayman really does look gorgeous. It is definitely on my short list of games to look for during the buy 2 get 1 at Target next week.

 

[Eusis]

For the most part I just find Ubisoft terrible on PC. Consoles they've generally been fine or at least no worse than anyone else out there. Part of why I'm more inclined to get Rayman Origins on Vita than PC actually, depending on what happens with the Steam version, but hell, this sounds like an awesome port anyway.

 

[JustProgress]

So Best Buy is offering quite the trade up to Vita according to CAG. 100 for 3DS and a 70 base for PSP Go. Considering it...and I only paid 120 for my 3DS

 

[Wario64]

Sarcasm aside, when you play the PSP version of Peacewalker and transfer your save to the PS3 version, it doesn't unlock trophies nor does it unlock future trophies with that save.

I think that's only true if you begin the game on PSP

 

[brettchalupa]

I think that's only true if you begin the game on PSP

That thought just crossed my mind. You're probably right. I will test it out soon. If that's the case, then that's awesome.

 

[rockman zx]

A silly question, is ok to touch the screen with a touch pen?, like the one that comes with the 3DS, I'm asking not only if the screen is responsive but also if the screen will not end with scratches.

 

[UberTag]

I think that's only true if you begin the game on PSP

Yeah, I begun the game on my PS3, transfarred over to my PSP and unlocked trophies just fine when I sent the game back to my PS3.
I imagine it will work the same way on the Vita although I haven't tried it out yet.

 

[dallow_bg]

Did someone confirm that Dungeon Hunter has the Buy Now option in Live Area?
Likely so but you never know.

 

[Toki767]

A silly question, is ok to touch the screen with a touch pen?, like the one that comes with the 3DS, I'm asking not only if the screen is responsive but also if the screen will not end with scratches.

The screen is capacitive, not resistive. So it won't detect stylus touches.

 

[lazybones18]

Good. Hope there's that many people when I go to Gamestop next Tuesday night

Thanks, sorry. I didn't even think about that use case.

 

[Eusis]

It'll be pointless, capacitive works entirely differently from resistive touch screens like on the DS that just needs a hard thing to poke them. You need a special stylus like this one.

 

[Toki767]

Good. Hope there's that many people when I go to Gamestop next Tuesday night

Chances are if they're doing a midnight launch, they'd have to have gotten a few preorders to make it worth the time.

 

[Henry Jones Jr]

Kinda wishing I had got the FEB right about now...

Anyone? My media go doesn't say demos for me on them.

I suck at putting on screen protectors...

Damn right ! Where are your free games ?

Yap, buying Rayman Origins day 1 too. Played the PS3 version in Target today.

 

[cheststrongwell]

Bunch of damn thieves up in here.

 

[dallow_bg]

Was waiting for the first thief comment.

They're all like that.
MJ = This is It

 

[Ollie Pooch]

This has been confirmed a few times, actually.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Was waiting for the first thief comment.

QUE lol

Ok so it's been confirmed by some with Vita's that MJ is the full version for sure? But the others appear to be so as well or they have all been debunked?

This has been confirmed a few times, actually.

People have actually played them and got trophies on them?

 

[mattiewheels]

Bunch of damn thieves up in here.

The worst kind of thief too, grabbing stuff that nobody would ever want either way.

 

[rockman zx]

Thanks for the info guys, I guess I have to use my fingers.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The worst kind of thief too, grabbing stuff that nobody would ever want either way.

Oh I have full intentions of getting Rayman either way. I just don't know if I want to succumb to the 40 dollar price.

CVX Freak just retweeted this article from Nikkei and I can't read Japanese but according to the tweet Japanese developers are moving from Vita to the 3DS. If anybody can read it and clarify the article.
