This one may be a risk for you but Tales from Space Mutant Blobs Attack is also an excellent platformer which does some really cool and unique things game play wise. It's only 8 dollars too. One of the gems of the launch really.

Not really a platformer guy but I've already decided on Rayman origins as my first retail title. May consider tfsmba later down the line.

As it stands I'm going to keep it simple

Superstardust delta
Rayman origins

Sfa3max
Who's that flying
Twin blades.

When the price come down a bit I'll pick up NGS+ and UMVC3

I might pick up gravity daze if the demo impresses me.

Outside of that, I'm in no rush to pick up any more games for a while. I've got enough gadgets and games as it is and there is no point in buying things I'll never find the time to play.

 

[VanWinkle]

I'm downloading a Touch My Katamari demo, and it's moved two megabytes in about twenty minutes. Never had that happen before but it's been going that slow all night. I think it's finally moving at a [comparatively] decent rate now, though.

 

[Ken]

Hmm, sounds good. heard it's a lot like the old tenchu games.
Sounds like a buy, haven't played a good ninja game in a while.

Just be prepared for some really frustrating game mechanics, like trying to assassinate a guy and having your AI partners knock you out of it repeatedly.

 

[that1dude24]

katamari is waaay shorter than i hoped

k drive is really fun though

 

[Himynameischris]

Wow, congratulations! Now eat healthier

That's what everyone keeps saying lol but I won using the box I didn't actually eat the food

You cannot outright download LBP from your PSN account on your Vita. However, you can transfer it from your PS3.

I can't even copy it from my PS3. Once it's done copying it says "Could not copy some content", and LBP isn't on my PSVita. However I was able to copy Killzone Liberation.

 

[frequency]

That Dynasty Warrior image quality is unbelievable. It really makes me wish every dev valued it more.

Pop in or whatever is pretty bad though. And slowdown when too much is on the screen.
But to be fair, the console versions had the same problems.

 

[Live Free or Die]

How many people are getting 3G? Or just Wireless.

3G version here.

 

[tenz0r]

If anybody has a silicone vita case that they are selling please PM me, cause i can't find one online or in stores.

Check Walmart, my local stores over here (CA) have the hori brand ones.

 

[HoTHiTTeR]

Really? I've checked some in NorCal and nothing hori at all. What have you seen? Hard cases? Silicon protectors?

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

how are people already playing motorstorm RC on here?

 

[Takao]

It's out in Europe.

It's out in Europe.

ah. thanks.

Ok, comment and two questions.

Comment!

The Katamari DLC is 2 free levels that require you to unlock with either paying for or finding Fan Damacies in levels. I don't know how you can go through the entire single player and only have one. I think I still have one more level to clear and I have 7, and that doesn't count the ones I've not collected in a level because I forgot about them. I've found that they appear in levels about 50% of the time...It's really not that bad.

Questions!

1 - Does UMvC3 really have DLC for Jill and Shuma? I figured they would have included them in game...

2 - How exactly do I redeem my FEB free game? I havent done anything with the free 3G yet, so I'm slightly clueless.

1) yeah, Shuma and Jill are DLC.

does anyone know where the secret events are in wipeout? that notification always pops up for me but idk where to find them...

 

[Raonak]

I recall something about being able to use the backtouch to uncover secret events.
I know touching the back raises the triangles in the event selection screen.

 

[opticalmace]

Are you leaving the game as a "bubble" on your PS3? I had no trouble getting LBP working.

 

[Marz]

So I wonder how they're going to go about adding more PSP games. Are they going to drip-feed them to us little by little or are we going to get them in large bunches.

Also need to hurry up with the PS1 support.

 

[Gunpriest]

Does anyone know if the notifications popups can be turned off somewhere? I can't find an option to disable them. It is a big issue in Virtua Tennis 4. They cover up a big portion of the opponents side of the playfield. Impossible to see, what the opponent is doing and impossible to respond accordingly. It did cost me almost a championship

The blue dot with the numbers could stay, but i need the text popups to go away.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Gotta say, I'm really happy with my decision to go 100% digital distribution (outside of the financial hit, but whatevs).

I'm absolutely loving not having to worry about swapping out carts all. I switch back from game to game with ease and can't imagine ever going back to the alternative of having to manually remove carts....(ugh) Feels soooo good, man!

Not that I'm aware of, no.

Maybe you could close the apps that are giving you notifications?

 

[Square Triangle]

Check your email if you bought a Vita at Gamestop with your Power Up Card. Just got my $10 off coupon that's good toward MLB 12, Unit 13 and Reality Fighters.

 

[GQman2121]

Why can't you download videos in HD from the video side of the store? One of the benefits of having a psn account is that you can share content between the two systems. I'm far less likely to buy something if I can only take full advantage of it on one device.

 

[Thoraxes]

Isn't the Vita's resolution sub HD though? Would that make a difference?

Also, I just read something about used games not counting towards trophies? Is this true... and why?

 

[ari]

any info on when the ps classics playable?

 

[archnemesis]

No, not yet. "Soon" is the last we've heard.

 

[JVIDICAN]

not true.

 

[Eusis]

Went to grab the "free" Katamari DLC levels and play them, in hopes they'd extend the very short single player game.

See, this is why many of us were VERY VERY weary about the news of buying points in Katamari, there was a possibility they would NOT be balanced in a way that made them a shortcut so much as THE way to go unless you were willing to grind out those points. Very much not a "shortcut for more casual players" thing.

 

[kaizenmx]

Someone has already redrawn the comic with the Vita in place of the PS3, lazy.

[Thoraxes]

not true.

Oh good. I was reading that people started up their games and it said they couldn't earn any for some reason.

Totally with ya.
Especially with challenges or near gifts. You can click on them and it'll launch into the game directly. no having to worry about switching into the game beforehand.

constally getting uncharted near gifts. it's neat just clicking on the uncharted icon to just jump to the game.

 

[Apath]

does anyone know where the secret events are in wipeout? that notification always pops up for me but idk where to find them...

They are hidden on the campaign map and you reveal them by tapping on the screen in a blank location. I found this out via the manual, after getting frustrated from the Secret Event notifications constantly popping up. I found the Feisar Prototype Event just above the Wipeout 2048 logo, to the right IIRC. You can tell it's there because the triangle/grid pieces on the map sort of raise together where it is.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Is Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack worth picking up? Haven't heard much discussion about that title.

I kind of want a platformer, and I really want to grab Rayman, but probably not until it comes down in price.

 

[raven777]

Gravity Daze DLC info:

3 packs will be released each week starting March 22nd.

Each pack will include

• 1 costume
• 2 side missions
• 2 challenge missions

price is 400yen each.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Has anyone bought from http://www.r4shops.com/

Searching for a case, I'm seeing it linked from a few places and it looks like a scam but not sure if it is. Prices too good too be true and free shipping? lol

Hustle Kings is one simple but great looking game with some details. It's basically a 1:1 port of the PS3 version which is quite nice.

This loading screen looks sharp as nails on the Vita screen

Angled view of the table

Lowered view of the table and some balls

Them balls close up

Sexy.

Sucks so bad that I bought Hustle Kings on a dummy account so I can't really get my free copy.

 

[whitehawk]

Yuss.

How do you change the background of the lockscreen?

Are you leaving the game as a "bubble" on your PS3? I had no trouble getting LBP working.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I select LBP on my PS3, turn on my PSVita, copy it, and it won't finish copying. I always get an error.

Isn't the Vita's resolution sub HD though? Would that make a difference?

Also, I just read something about used games not counting towards trophies? Is this true... and why?

Yes, but it's also larger than 480p I believe, so it's better to scale down 720p content.

Lots of people have been saying its one of Vitas best launch titles.

I think i'll be in the same boat as you. I can't seem to find Rayman in any stores i'm gonna wait. Instead I got a new PSN card so I might just buy TFS to fill that gap in the meantime.

Nice. I hope these come in-game in the western release

Why doesn't Vita trophies show up on PSN Portable ID?

 

[mandiller]

I'm loving the PSV so far. It's a very nice system. There are a few problems such as how unintuitive the friend list is in how it takes ages to access and you need to connect to it manually instead of it being always on, one click away.

Aside from those things it's amazing what they packed into this system at launch. It's a much fuller package than when the 3DS launched.

Here's a couple of pics I took:

P.S. The wrist strap that comes with the 3DS's Circle Pad Pro is awesome for the PSV.

 

[Snuggles]

Note to self: stop clipping finger nails. You will need them to open that goddamned cart slot.

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Do you think a retailer warranty is recommended? Or should I just save my money?

Thinking about getting a 2 year warranty with the system, but I'm not sure if I should spend the extra $30 for it.

 

[lantus]

Next firmware update I'm hoping for folders and the ability to move whole pages.

About the Gravity Daze/Rush DLC. Posted the translated stuff in the other thread but I'll throw it here too.

The first pack is the "Spy" part, which features one costume, two story missions and two challenge missions for 400 yen. The first story mission, roughly titled "I beg your pardon sir" sees Gravity Kitten taking a request from officer Cid to infiltrate an organization called the Rabbit Network. The second mission, "Dream of the ghost", sees a previously killed enemy make his surprising return as the city is plunged into chaos.

Currently the price is the only thing keeping me back from buying everything on DD. I've got 2 carts already and I'm so much more inclined to play the one already in or downloaded its not funny.
