Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | April 2013 | Sacrifice your Independent Soul
- Thread starter The Grim Heaper
- Start date
Nothing on GameFAQs anyway about an AU release, they've usually got the up to date information. Could be announced in the future but who knows.
I have EU (I'm in UK) and I don't think I've ever felt we've gotten the short end of the stick at all. EU Plus is great.

Yeah, I rekon I'll be importing again then. I love that Vita is region free.

Probably not in Japan, and hopefully not in NA. Squeenix was just talking about how both games don't fit on one cart, which is why they split it in two. Or do digitql-only games have the same size limitations as physical releases? Either way, this is a big release for Squeenix so I'd be shocked at digital-only... and both games would put a big dent in my memory card.FFX/FFX-II HD only digital on PSVita says Koch Media:
At least in Spain but, maybe worldwide only digital launch?. Very sad news for me.

Okay, thanks for the input. Apart from the PSOne games being in 50 Hz, I guess there is no technical difference.
I need some more MonHun clones. What games should I buy?
Don't get Ragnorok Odyssey for this exact reason. I regret the purchase. MonHun is still the king.

Guys - PSABR is on sale for the Easter deal here in the uk. If I buy the digital ps3 version (£15) I get a digital vita version too right?
Yes, digital PS3 version is crossbuy. I own it myself.
I am using an EU account and everything else with my real personal information as a main account. It sometime sucks because I am german and we don't get everything, but overall EU PS+ is fine, I don't think the US PS+ is better.
Because my buy download only I feel safer using my real information. Would suck if Sony suddenly changes their open stance regarding fake accounts and foreign PSN access with me having a foreign account. There is no indication they will change, but after all their approach is customer friendly and unique.

yes, you don't even need a PS3 : use the website to buy it and go in your downloads list on Vita

I'm using my regular EU account. Over all, EU Plus tends to be better value, but there are good titles coming on both. Which one is "best" will vary vary from month to month and which titles you prefer.
Has Sony ever skipped Australia for one of their major world wide releases?

EU PSN+ is years ahead over US stuff but games are cheaper in US plus they get some more content. Also EU account will accept you credit card.
I don't know how reliable this site is, but it seems that Soul Sacrifice is coming to Australia: http://www.dvdorchard.com.au/519121/soul-sacrifice-game

Lol, I'll believe it when I actually see the game on shelves.

Good. It'll fit the bill. I'm hoping this'll be more than simply a guilty pleasure.

It has a Australian rating so I don't see why not.

I own both and would recommend Zen Pinball the most. Loads of tables (25+), lots of play views, and it looks amazing on the Vita's screen. Plus, the latest Star Wars tables are awesome.

Happy birthday, my friend!

I need to power through the P4G endgame before Soul Sacrifice is released. I'm not sure if I'd be able to juggle both at once.
There's something I don't get. Knowing that I have two memory cards, am I forced to restore my system each time I switch between accounts ? Let's say I have one that is dedicated to my european account, and the other one to my american account ?
I'd really like to play PS1 games in 50hz and with english dubs (MGS1, Legacy of kain...) without it being a chore.

DOA 5 + Game of the month, means is gonna be a PS+ freebie?
Yes, and the process is detailed in the OP (if you haven't noticed already).
No, it's just a community spotlight for a game chosen by the monthly contest winner.
Thanks I just didn't see the long version so I was a little confused.
Anyway, it's kind of strange that I'm planning to play MGS3 on my Vita, but Peace Walker on the PS3.
Also, I think I'll just play DOA5 on PS3 since it's free with PS plus.
what DID you buy it for then?
theres TONS of non indie and non monster hunter style games available on it
as a matter of fact theres only 2 games on the Vita so far that are clones of MH, so i dont see where you get the idea we are flooded with them

Ok, thanks.
I just tried the Fire Emblem and Monster Hunter demos for 3DS. While I am sooo looking forward for Fire Emblem finally, I cant tell you guys how much I wanted MH on Vita. The game was a pain to play on the 3DS >_<

This is why monster hunter clones is a terrible thing to call them. Ragnarok is like a cross between PSO and GEB. MH is its own thing and none of these other games play anything like it. They are all much faster and more arcadey. Monster hunter is a much much much slower pace game with totally different feel to the combat. If you want monster hunter then get freedom unite I guess.
It's also why I liked Ragnarok. But don't expect it to feel remotely like monster hunter.

What's the deal with Soul Sacrifice pre-order DLC?
Do we know if PSN will give it out to digital purchases on day 1? They have never done digital preorders for Vita titles, right?
Edit: seems Amazon has it, but I want this game digitally.

You're trying to put logic to a Totobeni post.

You'll like Fire Emblem a lot. I do wish the story was a little more engrossing and the ending was unsatisfying, but I did come right off finishing Persona 4 Golden so about anything story and character wise would pale in comparison. The combat and the grind is where it is at in Fire Emblem though.
Looking forward to the US PS+ announcements today for the month of April.

Holy shit that looks DISGUSTING. It's been a while since I've bought any tables for Pinball Arcade, and it looks like I won't be getting them any time soon. =\
Yeah, cant wait. Really annoying it took so long to get over here. I mean the FE OT is already in community for over a month when it finally releases in EU. Bleh.
Anyone having the complete lists for me whats currently on US and EU PS+? (Vita and PS3)
I tried googling/search on their blogs, but couldnt quickly find it. My internet is being really annoying today, making searching a huge pain.

Wow. Zen Pinball looks great on Vita, get that then.

Hoping to be playing this for months, so digital for me. Hopefully we get some nice incentives so I can pre-order as well.
yeah, what is up with the story in fire emblem? it's so boring. luckily, it doesn't take up too much time if you don't care for it. the gameplay is absolutely awesome though, so i have enjoyed my time with the game. currently on the 3rd last chapter. it's worth the money for the battles alone. the music is pretty good too.
all this talk of soul sacrifice had me thinking it was coming out this week, but it actually releases at the beginning of may, doesn't it? :'( at least i will finish fire emblem and catherine before then.

Does anyone know how well call of duty declassified did on the Vita. I know it was #1 on the psn vita chart for a little bit. Maybe someone who works for one of the gaming sites could ask Activision.
I have posted this, but only in here. I am afraid of getting banned if I talk about it in the MH thread. 3DS feels like one of my friggin kids toys. Monster Hunter is some sacred shit and I am pissed I have to play it on that crap.
I am not even generally hating on the device (which no one should do), but it definitely didnt work for me for MH at all. I severely missed the second analog, and the twitchy action gameplay got me to mess up a lot due to the console design. I turned the volume up and down CONSTANTLY when trying to re-align the camera with L every few seconds. Ah well, saves me 40 bucks and lets me continue the wait for Soul Sacrifice.
Currently grinding my way through Denpa Men on the 3DS. If gameplay is not too twitchy and only top down or sidescrolling, the console works fine.
I would rate Tri Ultimate an easy skip since mechanically MH4 will be very different. There's no bullshit aquatic garbage for starters.
Time will tell if Capcom is genuinely serious about the MH franchise in the west (it's all lip service I think), but I can't see them not going multi-platform like Resident Evil if they're really serious.

MH4 exclusive to 3DS, please be excited.
I will never understand Capcom's decision to keep MH only on one console at a time.
