Based on yesterday's conversation (about game value and waiting for stuff to depreciate), what are some games you hope come to the instant game collection down the line?

Sonic Racing Transformed
EDF 2017 Portable
Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
Dynasty Warriors Next (have this physically, but I'd love to get rid of my cart already)

Edit: I haven't been at the top of the page in a while! Go buy Muramasa Rebirth and Atelier Totori Plus.

Super Icon Games are working on Life of Pixel 2 for Vita/PS4

The first one is on PSMobile. It's really fun but was held back a bit by the plaftorm.

Looks like the sequel is going to be much larger in scope, covering far more platforms and having a huge amount more levels. Should be great.

Life of a pixel was a very bad game level design-wise, i hope they have learned something.
Amiga 500 is in the game...

 

[Totobeni]

so going with the other thread, it seems like no one in japan care about PS4. and as we know the SCE Japan Studio is focusing on PS4/3 more than handhelds....

I guess this is Allen Becker right now.

How many PS4 games have been announced for the Japanese audience, is it releasing in 2014 there? Gotta be hard to get excited for a console that has very little information for your region so far. I kind of get the feeling the Japanese audience wont really care about Killzone, and Watchdogs.

Octodad might be right up their alley though.

Wait, the tweet indicates that he's bringing it to the PS4, but the site states it's exclusive to Vita?

 

[Skyzard]

EDF I'll accept, but you guys waiting for Sonic Racing Transformed should be ashamed

 

[Dorimukyasuto]

Got the first one and it was mildly enjoyable. Glad they can get a second shot and fix what was wrong with it.


Based on yesterday's conversation (about game value and waiting for stuff to depreciate), what are some games you hope come to the instant game collection down the line?

For me-

Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed
Army Corps of Hell
Dungeon Hunter Alliance
Dead of Alive 5+

Wishful thinking for some but these are games I am interested in coming to the service.

Resistance Burning Skies
Unit 13
Hot Shots Golf
Virtua Tennis

 

[EsotericManiac]

Resistance
Virtua Tennis
Guacamelee

This is hot off the press - only decided yesterday

 

[Skyzard]

What's SF?

SFxT and the alpha max 3 on PSP I think

Street Fighter methinks

 

[Sol1dus]

Oh gotcha. I got Alpha 3 last summer and I don't understand it. The combo menu has LK+HP=blah blah and all that stuff. Why can't they jut use the actual button symbols for it?

Makes it harder for me and I already suck at fighting games.

Fight sticks and lazyness.


Low Kick+High Punch (LK+HP)

 

[Lemstar]

I think I put just under 20 hours into it to get the 'true' ending.

I don't think it was that long - I used a solution-free flowchart to get all the endings and finished with a total time of ~14 hours, and only going for the true ending would lop a few more of those off.

a lot of people use different placements for buttons in fighting games. if you've ever watched a tournament, there is always something called a "button check" before a match to make sure that not only buttons are working, but assigned as the player sees fit.

fighting games are notorious for letting you assign each and every button to a command in the game. i wish EVERY game did this...

like I was Retro City Rampage this week. How much better would that be to make a dual stick shooter with the triggers being shoot and jump?

Yeah I just put that as an example. I get what they stand for it just makes it harder to memorize stuff when you can just look at the buttons game looks gorgeous on the Vita's screen though.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Famistu has got new Freedom Wars screens.

I know what you mean, takes me a while too.

It's pretty ugly on Vita tbh, compared to SFxT anyway. But at least the gameplay is classic.

SFxT has pretty cool customisation for buttons but 6 button fighters aren't the easiest on Vita.

That would been great for any twin stick shooter. And if no jump button then the other trigger should be used for weapon change or grenades.

lets make a game

jump in that game at least is crucial for dodging or smashing enemies. i'm perfectly fine with taking my hand off of an analog for switching weapons, etc.

it just seems so easy to be able to completely remap control schemes to what a players deems necessary. a ton of PC games have this

i've played through enough games in my 31 years of existence that things like this just don't seem logical.

going back to retro city, the lock-on in that game is pretty terrible. the dual analogs force you to auto-fire non-stop. being able to map fire onto a shoulder button and give you more control of your shots just makes sense.

i haven't made a game since i used to program in pascal and c++. I forget almost all the java i learned some 10 years ago

 

[michaelius]

SFxT and Marvel (call it whatever you want it's still SF based to me )

 

[EsotericManiac]

its a capcom fighter, sure, but SF is closer to KoF than SF is to Marvel

I remember getting a 'Thrustmaster' wireless controller for the Wii and it let me map any button I wanted to wherever. Loved it.

+1 to this. It's reasonably prized compared to its value. It was $26 dollars when i brought it and i enjoyed every minute of it.

As for what I'd like to see on PS+

* SFxT
* UMvC 3
* Guacamelee
* Need for Speed: Most Wanted
* Rayman Origins (Or just give it in sale for like $5 before Legends)
* Atelier Meruru Plus

[AmanoBuff]

Famistu has got new Freedom Wars screens.

Looking quite nice.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Ps4/Vita I guess.

 

[Totobeni]

:/

Graphically it's a very bad looking game,low poly models, blurry textures, flat lighting and awful environments, why can't MonHun games have good/decent graphics?

lol, what with this horrible dust/dirt effect here?

I expected more from SCE Japan Studio.

Question for the Soul Sacrifice experts here.

The few weapon upgrades I've done mostly give more uses for a weapon, but the enemies I'm facing now are tougher to beat. This has meant that fights take a long time and all 6 powers are nearly exhausted by the end - can't say this is much fun.

So what's the trick to beating enemies as you progress through the game? I feel like I'm completely missing something - and I probably am, I'm sleepy most of the time I play the game.

Are you playing story mode? or the pacts?

No, other way around I think PS4 port was only decided yesterday. Guess they didn't get around to updating the website yet.

 

[Cromulent_Word]

I kinda want Critter Crunch on my Vita :/

We wanted it too... but alas, it was not meant to be

First three upgrades give more uses then 4th one increases dmg.

Oh! Ok, thanks Carl.

Mostly the story mode for now.

Ah, that's good to know, thanks!

 

[Carl]

Aw man, i would buy it so hard. Been secretly hoping it was in development ;(

Oh! Ok, thanks Carl.

<3

 

[cyborg009]

Ah, that's good to know, thanks!

Then use mostly monster elemental weakness then do a skillful attack and make sure to use golems.

 

[Carl]

Looks like Life of Pixel 2 will be Cross-Buy too. Great stuff

First of all find out the weaknesses of whoever it is you're fighting (especially bosses). Then make sure you use their weakness against them and then that weakness' weakness in order to do a even greater damage. (If they're burning, hit them with ice to send them backwards).

Also, grinding a few maps here and there gives you rewards that you can combine and get more uses from your offerings.

Are you going to sell your Vita, bitch about the game and then rebuy the vita and realize the game is actually fun?

Just picking on you.

Hi gaffers...

I have received a preview code for this today

I'm under NDA so I can't say anything about it... I only say that it's graphically stunning and that the screens that were showed till today are not bullshots...

 

[michaelius]

I only wonder if we should call it Dust Wars or Freedom Dirt
