Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | August 2013 | Divekicks & Dragons

Btw Spelunky is up on the italian psn store via search...dunno about other eu stores.
Argh seems a corrupted file DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

up too on the french webstore in the "new this week" section. It's 14,99€ (11,99 with PS+). What do you mean by "corrupted"?

Edit: Oh, I see no mention of cross-buy?
 
Sorry Spelunky, you're just not my cup of tea. I might give the demo a whirl from time to time if I feel like going through 4 mini stages, but that's about it. Does this make me a bad person? :P

You have to redeem by buying Killzone or Rayman or Dragon Crown (or all three) :D
 
EU-GAF:
Spelunky is up via search, Playstation Plus update also. Stealth Inc & Jak are Cross-buy, so we also get the Vita versions of them.

Edit:
Annnd its fucking broken, downloaded it 2x - same result.

Guys, I've played the Spelunky demo with much anticipation today, and I totally failed to see what the hype was about. Before trying the demo I was about to purchase the game solely based on the recommendations I've seen at GAF, but afterrwards, I ended up saving myself the $12 (I bought Limbo for $6 instead). Thank heavens for the demo!

I liked the visuals on the Vita screen, the tight controls, and randomly generating dungeons, but the idea of constant permadeath turns me off, I guess. I'm one of the few who simply couldn't enjoy Demon's Souls/Dark Souls, probably for the same reason.

Hmmmmm.

I am the same as you for the bolded above.

Hmmmmmmm.
 
Can confirm that Spelunky for the Vita is corrupted. UK PSN here. Tried to download both straight from Vita, and PS3 via the Content Manager to copy across. No dice. Install error c2-12383-7.

Between this and reports of slowdown in later levels, it's somewhat ruining what should have been a glorious day.

Woah woah woah.

Anyone downloading this from US PSN?
 
This isn't happening...

Better be fixed quick sharpish! If I'm not playing Spelunky in bed tonight, I'm gonna be one sulky man-child.
 
I downloaded and installed it (The Netherlands / Europe) and had no issues.

Hope I end up liking it. The Cross Play with Playstation 3 sounds interesting, will try that with my son.

EDIT: Plays great so far, hope that if there is slowdown later on, they will patch at some point. Otherwise, thanks for cross play (is there cross save?)

Can you confirm cross-buy?
 
I got to the end of your first paragraph and I was about to kill you.

Then I read down to the bolded, and I realised you're not a bad person. We're just different. So very, very different.

So very different indeed. Glad you didn't stop reading after the first paragraph...

Already bought Dragon's Crown and absolutely loving it. Put in about 50 hours, and all I can say is that the Amazon is amazing. Will buy Rayman for sure!
 
Didn't realise we were actually getting a Sweet Fuse release for EU. I might look at getting it down the line.

Why wait! The game's 700 MB and even features voiced dialog (including Keiji Inafune!
I think it's his actual voice...
)
Also features shirtless scenes- WHY WOULD YOU HOLD OUT ON THAT?!!?
 
In order to take advantage of the Stealth Inc and Jak Cross-buy do I have to "purchase" via Sen Website or can I still use the Vita store?
 
OK so I just went to the sony store via web (im at work).

Free with ps plus i managed to get
Little kings
Urban trials
stealth inc
Jak and Daxter trilogy

So yeah both those last 2 are cross buy and thats 4 free games this month.

Also purchased spelunky but sounds like its not working properly right now?

Anyway hopefully I can get my wife to wake my vita so it starts downloading all those.
 
Spelunky downloaded and installed fine on UK PSN.

I did search and buy from Vita store rather than the web store if that makes a difference.

They changed the package in the last hour or so. Everyone (including me) who bought it before basically got a useless dud.
 
Haha, great. The game isn't marked anymore as bought.

Well, fuck them.

The exact same thing happened to me with Mutant Blobs Attack at EU launch. File was broken initially and they replaced it on the store and I couldn't buy it anymore. Just e-mail the Sony Support of your region to get a refund.

Shirtless part being done by males is quite a good reason ;) Somehow I'd prefer non otome virtual novel ;)
 
spelunky, stealth:a clone in the dark, and new little kings story, all for £9.59. Nice

(all up via search on the UK SEN webstore)

Does vita automatically download these, or do I have to go to the store and download list?
 
Thanks for the warm welcomes!

Oh.

Yeah, okay, you sold me. It isn't actually on the EU store app yet on the vita, but it is on the site! Yiss.

Now my dilemma is which dude do i go for

Didn't expect cross buy for plus games, awesome!

Edit: aaaaand bought. 4 new ps plus games for vita this month.
 
So im looking at the webstore and in my download list I have 3 versions of spelunky. The PS3 version, the Vita version and the demo version.

Why is the demo version bigger than the vita version? is it a demo that works on both systems and therefore is larger in size or something?

Is the Vita version just a few KBs? If yes, the full game is already contained in the demo, but you need to buy a "code" to unlock it. Most demos of digital-only games work this way.

It's the demo of the PS3 version which is bigger than Vita version. I suppose PS3 demo is full game without the activation key. You can find a Vita demo if you click on the Vita version, it's on the same page than the full version.

no, there is

Spelunky

Spelunky
Game unlock | 125MB | 20/8/2013 | Playable on PS Vita

Bottom on is in my download queue
 
Lord help me, my Vita backlog is killing me. Bought Spelunky and then noticed that the Jak Trilogy appears to be free for PS+. Too many games!

Mhh. The 6KB one is the unlock for sure. One of the other ones might be a patch? No idea.

In my opinion it's a typo:

Spelunky
Game unlock | 6KB | 20/8/2013 | Playable on PS Vita <- PS3 version key
Spelunky Demo
Game unlock | 207MB | 20/8/2013 | Playable on PS Vita <- PS3 version demo
Spelunky
Game unlock | 125MB | 20/8/2013 | Playable on PS Vita <- Vita version

I like Demon's Souls but I'm not sure about Spelunky. They are not really comparable though. There's no permadeath in Demon's Souls. Not like in Spelunky. There's still a persistant progress, and if you die in a later level you will simply start that level again, but not the whole game.

That's just how it is with rogue games like Spelunky. If you die, you start from scratch again, period. Personally, I don't like it either, as it becomes very repetitive eventually.

Lord help me, my Vita backlog is killing me. Bought Spelunky and then noticed that the Jak Trilogy appears to be free for PS+. Too many games!

Cross buy? I heard the PS Vita version is barely playable, but you can't go wrong with free I guess.
