PlayStation Network Thread (Vita/PS3/PS4/PSP) | February 2014

It's got some minor slowdown when the action get heavy. But with all the recent updates, and cross play with the PS3 it's great, I got the Plat on the vita version.

Dragon's Crown is that rare type of game where the slowdown actually sort of adds to the experience and gives it a nostalgic feel... at least if you grew up playing Final Fight or Streets of Rage and those type of games on the Genesis/SNES.

It's just a little bit and it makes it feel like those classics... I didn't really mind it at all once it happened a few times and I was aware of how it affected the game.
 
Just checked out the Vita lineup for March.
FFX/X2 HD, Project Diva F, Deception IV, and Dynasty Warriors 8 all packed into one month. Crazy.
I wonder if April is gonna be bare :P

Demon Gaze and Conception 2 are coming in April. Not too sure about Conception 2, but Demon Gaze looks like a good way to get my dungeon crawling fix without having to buy a 3DS.

These months are packed with games but i'm a little concerned about next ones, i hope there will be no drought, many Vita games release dates are announced close to the release though, so maybe there's not too much to worry.

Awesome avatar by the way!

Is there something announced for May/June this year?

I can remember Sly and GoW Collections. Not much more. Hope they run decently though.
 
So Vita was on the gadget show today and won. I wasn't actually watching it but then I heard my sister randomly say "littlebigplanet" in the background so I was curious and went in her room to see why. And there it was. Vita on the gadget show. So I watched it and they were pretty enthusiastic about it. They liked it over the nvidia shield and some android handheld. Yeah I know that's not exactly much competition but still it was nice to see some Vita love on TV. Today is a good day.
 
Has anyone purchased Machinarium before? Any impressions of the game?
I played it on PC. Didn't think that much of it - it's cute, but the interface felt kind of clunky. Given the devs' financial constraints, that's not too surprising, but given that I wasn't much for point-and-click adventure games to begin with, it certainly didn't help.

No idea if they've made any changes for the Vita port.
 
Cross-buy is not supported by any developer that is not an indie or Sony. So you should never het your hopes high for big third parties to embrace it.

As for FFX, Vita all the way for me. I can't imagine myself playing an RPG nowadays if it is not on portable form.

Plus, that OLED of course.

Should at least have a bundle on PSN for digital-purchases of both of them at a discount :/

I'll probably get the Vita version
 
I am playing Ys 3 (Oath in Felhgana) and the OST and gameplay is top notch I like the boss fights, even though when I keep getting my ass kiked I solve this by going back and do a little leveling up and buying stronger equipment XP.
 
Has anyone purchased Machinarium before? Any impressions of the game?
It's really good and the OST is amazing. I played it on PC and Android and it's definitely a game that requires a mouse cursor because if you don't know what to click you have to tap randomly all over the screen to find something interactive. Thankfully the Vita version has a pointer that you can move with the touchpad so you shouldn't have any problem in that regard.

If you like it you should also check Botanicula. (it's not on the Vita, though)
 
I hate that devs never provide patch notes >:( I'm sure it pretty much amounts to "stability" but I still need to know. Anyone know the patch notes for Metro: Last Light?
 
Anyone picking up that Vita/PS3 Infinite Stratos game this week? I've never watched the show and every bone in my body tells me not to do it but I kind of want it for some reason.
 
Dude Patapon 2 was totally the right choice, this gameplay is just just how I remembered it. The only frustrating thing is figuring out what rarepons to shoot for and what patapons to base them off of

Oh man, that's only the tip of the iceberg lol, I love pairing overpowered weapons with ridiculous weaknesses with rarepons that naturally counter the negatives, it makes the entire spectrum of soldiers useful :P I'm glad you're enjoying it! I felt the addition of the Heropon to be ridiculously fun, are you playing on normal or easy?

I think I chose easy but man I forgot how annoying it can be when you lose your rhythm or press the wrong button and suddenly shit hits the fan

Oh yeah I know the feeling lol, normal mode makes the timing window much narrower on all of the inputs, and it makes activating the Hero attacks much more difficult, but oddly enough, it adds even more strategy to the mix because the hero special attacks can't be relied on very easily lol.

Thanks for the comments guys, I think I'll watch a few LPs of the game first.

The french one was the reason I want to buy that game. But since I have a very small knowledge of the Japanese language, I'll be content watching the show.

Now back to sleep.

Agree. A couple of games I've purchased from PSN on day one had a discount over their retail price (Muramasa and Teraway) but I don't think SQEX will do that with a franchise as popular as FF.

With FFX/X-2 you can install each game separately though, which is a nice option at least.
 
guess that's another game to get then..
RIP wallet

Holy cow, that price for The Wolf Among Us is fantastic. I had been waiting for a PC deal since I'd rather have it accessible via Steam but that is tempting....
 
I'm hoping those stories about PS4 supply being low untill april to be false atleast for a week, finally have enough money for one next month.

That's pretty awesome. I could see toto cringe too, bonus.
 
So I've pretty much decided that I want to pick up a Vita but I won't have the money until summer :(. I saw that borderlands bundle for $200 and was wondering is that the standard Vita price now? Was there a price drop a while ago that I didn't notice? Lol

$200 is still the official price of the Vita so BL2 bundle is decent in price for what you get, and it's the new model so there is also a plus.

I'd buy used if you're on a budget.
 
chinese version of FFX/X-2 is coming out on 27/2 (Thursday) yay !
i am getting both ps3 and vita version.

And still expecting the firmware / PS4 remote play app for PS Vita TV...
 
so I guess that's a mistake then :/
i could figure the word "sorry" oh well
it should be on sale :/


and I really don't understand all the legal mumbo jumbo :/ really gets in the way of things

Man, why would any of y'all think Terraria Vita would be on sale when the game launched months later than it was promised and at full price without crossbuy...
 
is Valhalla knights 3 any good? I think of getting it in th sale.

The japanese 3g commercial sold me :(
 
A little bummed that Walking Dead S2 is on sale, but I can't get it on Vita =\ Wish they would have done it side by side, loved playing it on my Vita. I also own it on PS3, but really don't know if I wanna reconnect everything just to play it, plus I liked the Vita experience significantly more.

The game looks terrible to me, but a few people who have played it said that it was okay. It's supposed to be very difficult, requires a ton of grinding, and does not look very different graphically from the old DS PSP games I used to play.

OH MY GORUDO!

A lot of people and the media doesn't seem to have noticed that the bundle also comes with an 8GB Vita card, so I'd say it's quiet a neat deal.
