Thank fuck for that, I need ZoE. I was just working out if I could carry my PS2, a flatscreen TV and a car battery around with me.
Egads! Will this emotional roller-coaster ever end!
Yes, that seems legit - an account with two tweets to it since 2009
Awesome. Is it the HD Collection? I kind of want to see the First of Mars make a return; I miss the Testament and Durandal OFs.

I just completely embarrassed myself by making that into a thread :-(
Need to engage brain in future.

The sooner Sony adds folder support, the better. Most of the flaws I'm finding, like what I mentioned earlier, and the steps needed to transfer a game from a PS3 to a Vita, can be fixed with a firmware update. That's a good sign, isn't it?

How are they unique?
This is their official twitter page? Two posts, the first being "!" back in June.

Yea that was the comment I was talking about. But as usually you won't see a retraction from the troll Jim Sterling.

WHile cards on Vita are a tad overpriced, I don't see why people don't complain about this more and demean the Vita for it. Double standards and moving goal posts, I swear. Sometimes anything will be said to slander Vita.

Ha, that twitter post almost gave me a heart attack.
Anyway, if a game doesn't require a memory card to boot up, does that mean that it can save to the game cart? My vita's got no memory card atm, so I'm stuck choosing games that don't require it

Yes, games that need memcard can't start up without one.
Ohh dude!

I think people see the 'value' elsewhere, rather than basing it on the components, etc.
That's an argument largely fueled by hindsight. At launch, when detractors were complaining about the PSP's non-gaming capabilities, it was less about how well it performed those tasks than it was about trying to do them at all, apparently endangering the focus on gaming. Cut to this review at the Vita's launch and it barely acknowledges the significance of those non-gaming functions because this is apparently such a gaming focused device...
no other current console requires you to purchase a expensive, proprietary memory card.
It's more than overpriced memory. It also allows Vita to upgrade to more memory without upgrading to a different SKU.
Since your PSN account is associated with the system id and memory card (id) when you format the card, in theory, Sony could tell who's using the PSN account with which system and card (if it wants to). Such 2-, 3-factor authentication can help to minimize fraud if someone else use your account and password on another system and card.
On a home console like PS3, our IP range is usually more predictable, and can help identify login source generally.
But yeah, hope the card price falls evetually.

I'm glad that Twitter account was quickly found to be fake, MGS HD and ZOE HD are two (of many) reasons I decided to buy a Vita, can't wait for them! Here are a couple images Kojima has been tweeting of MGS HD over the last month or so:
Also, does anyone know why he is talking about re-recording dialogue for them? Would the stuff from the PS3/360 versions not work?

Probably recording for tutorials / codec related to control schemes that are different in Vita (tactile controls).

That actually makes a lot of sense, MGS was always good for breaking the fourth wall.
Sony releases what is probably their best gaming hardware since the PS2, and they just want to see it fail.
What is wrong with people.
I can't wait to see what they think they can charge for the digital versions of these games (MGS/ZoE) on PSN.
If Snake Eater 3D is $40 at retail right now. And that's only 33% of the HD Collection, which is selling for about $30 right now on the PS360. We're probably looking at our next $50 Vita game(s), right?

I guess you weren't here for the PSP launch. Several Nintendo fans got all uppity and whatnot.

Glad to hear SOME kind of news about this game. I need this game in my life.

Some poor unfortuante soul that takes this all too seriously.
Why. competition is good and they were not forced to buy the PSP.
You didn't have to wait long to realize PSP's gaps though. That's why I had to write my own PSP sync software. That's also why I bought very very few PSP games. I used it for assorted purposes.
Vita has similar issues in non-game areas today. Sony need to address these issues seriously. However in the gaming area, I think they put much more effort in it. I already bought more Vita games than PSP. Perhaps this is why that author thinks Sony's focus is on gaming.
Personally, I think Sony needs to do well in both games and apps, but in the game area, it needs to aim for #1 (in whatever gaming aspect Sony deem important).
I thought more information would've been given alongside the Korean Vita launch, so it's a bit weird.
Yeah, I'm glad I imported Gravity Daze last week. Couldn't wait any longer.
What do you think of it, likes/dislikes?
To me this is the one Vita title I was anticipating the most.
did you get it yet?

What I gathered from his photos is that he is a Shaun the Sheep fan.
I wrote up my impressions somewhere here, and put them up again as a Giant Bomb user review because the auto-formatting makes it look pretty cool.

Thanks much, drooling over the videos and screenshots can only take you so far.
It's incredible, definitely the best game on the Vita hands-down. I'm not very far yet, but I'm vastly enjoying every second of the game and find myself constantly being distracted to just explore/get those purple gem things.
I'm frustrated that I can only understand 1/100th of the game (I'm a early second semester Japanese student), but now that the launch date is June I have no qualms with importing now for $75.
I downloaded from the JP PSN, so I got it instantly.
It's a little annoying bouncing between my US and JP accounts, but since you can change accounts without formatting the memory card it's not too bad.
