FFX/X2 and Fez are going to make the wait for MLB bearable.
Loving all the indie games Sony has been posting about the last week or so

 

[Dragon1893]

Really excited to see GR2.
A new Infamous would be too good to be true, probably a port.

 

[Ogawa-san]

I just noticed that the US PlayStation blog has featured ten different games for Vita in the last week or so. It blows my mind how many games are coming, yet how quiet the gaming press has been about it.

I stopped paying attention after they featured this vertical Crush the Castle/Angry Birds clone. It feels they'll make this kind of noise for anything that anyone's willing to bring to Vita nowadays.

 

[Flandy]

FFX-2

Sorry i couldn't resist

Luftrausers and Steamworld Dig.

I heard good things about the latter when it released on 3DS last summer.

If I weren't buried by the backlog I'd have bought it D1.

Same for Fez, coming just a week after

Luftrausers looks amazing. Not really interested in Steamworld.
Will have to thank about getting Luftrausers to go towards the spend 60 get 10 promotion

Paging wilflare to buy these. I believe he made Steamworld happen with a tweet.

[peanutbutterlatte]

Hope my PSN account is unbanned in time for Steamworld. Want to double dip... Is it confirmed that it has a Plat yet?

 

[RalchAC]

Vita has no AAA games.

The 3DS either.

Nintendo first-party support was great in 2013 though.

Not only no plat but only 1 gold, all the rest is bronze= confirmed no buy from me.

I'd rather have 3-4 interesting indies than what passes for a AAA game these days.

South Park the Stick of Truth? Yea, I don't want those games on my vita (that I don't have).

la $60 game that lasts a dozen hours or so and has no replayability? Yep. I can pass on that.

[outunderthestars]

wat

Sorry. I played a few hours of the game, and really didn't think it was all that good of an actual game. Funny yes, but not something I would hold up as the shining beacon of AAA gaming that Vita owners are missing out on. Though a touchscreen would help with the terrible battle menus.

 

[JStein0222]

My ps3 and vita backlog is too large to buy Infamous for full price.

If inFamous wasn't one of my favorite franchises, I'd feel the same way. Cannot contain my hype for it, I'm constantly fighting to avoid spoilers

I haven't played South Park. I said wat because I could not understand your post no matter how many times I read it

 

[outunderthestars]

I personally found South Park to be painfully linear, rather short, and offered no reason to replay it. The humor covers up what is a somewhat clunky, short, and dull game to actually play.

 

[ZeroAKA]

The 3DS either.

Nintendo first-party support was great in 2013 though.

Has the 3DS been getting much press? I don't really pay attention to Nintendo news anymore, to be honest.

I'd rather have 3-4 interesting indies than what passes for a AAA game these days.

Many western AAA games don't interest me either, but there is unfortunately no way that Vita will get mainstream press if all it has are indies and niche Japanese games.

 

[VLiberty]

I'd rather have a nice mixture of both but that's just me :l

Me too, unfortunately Vita has very few of them... :/

However, seeing how handhelds are doing nowadays, I think it could be much worse...

Paging wilflare to buy these. I believe he made Steamworld happen with a tweet.

IIRC the developers came on this thread(Vita only, at the time) right after the original release of SWD saying they were interested in making it happen on Vita.

 

[coolasj19]

wat

What what

Okay. I have my battleplan to abu- take advantage of the $60 for $10 deal.
FFX HD Vita - $39.99
Luftrausers - $7.99
= $47.98
Which leaves $12.02 left to spend to get the $10 that I'll be using for Fez. I currently have $64.61 in my wallet which means my upper bound for spending is $16.63.

Now here's the tricky part, pay attention now, PSGAF gets to decide how I spend the rest. Or else I'm just gonna buy a ton of FF13-2 DLC, and nobody wants that. Minimum $12.02 - Maximum $16.63. Some weird Japanese game? Some indie that needs another copy in hands? I almost don't care. But I don't know what to get. I already have everything I really want T_T

LBP Vita just had a price drop.

Ehh might hold off and save my money for Fez then. I wonder what a game has to do to qualify for Platinum?

 

[graywolf323]

alright I'm gonna order a 64GB soon and trying to decide where the best (and most affordable) place to get one is

there are a couple sellers on Amazon that have it for $108 with Prime which is rather tempting and then I also know of Nippon Yasan which would be around $102 shipped but not get here for ~10 days or SuperUFO which would be ~$96 but take 1-3 weeks

leaning towards spending a little bit more and getting it soonest from the third party sellers on Amazon Marketplace

Runner 2 is on sale for 3.50€/i guess 3.50$?/ until next week
EDIT: My bad, I thought Fez was part of the 60$ you were going to spend. So, you have 12€ to spend. Other than Runner 2, there's Dokuro which now costs 2.99€ ($?). And if you haven't got them already, there are Velocity Ultra and Txk

I bought mine from Amazon. I also looked into Nippon Yasan and Yes Asia, but Amazon is the way to go if you want to get it quickly for the cheapest price (assuming you have Prime). My 64 GB card should arrive on Monday.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I think I'll get a 64GB for my 21st just on the off chance I lose access to PSN again and thus lose half of my library :/

 

[Flandy]

I'm really tempted to get Terraria but I get the feeling it will go on sale within the next month :l

 

[carpediemdp]

Some questions:

1. Do I have to wait until tuesday for buying MGS for PS4 or is there an option to preorder on PSN? Can't seem to find it on the web store but maybe I'm doing something wrong...

2. If I have to wait until tuesday, does that purchase goes towards the buy $60 get $10 promo?

3. Is Towefall multiplayer online or offline only?

1 - There's indeed no preorder up

3 - Offline only.

No idea on 2.

 

[Shahadan]

Is Flower Vita worth it? I'd think it's best appreciated on a powerful machine but I really don't know. Been interested for a while now but can wait to get a ps4 to try it if it's a better solution.

 

[vagabondarts]

Considering the Vita's sales, I'm thankful that they are still supporting the platform and bringing indies or any games at all.

It's now my main gaming platform so I'm glad to see the support.

Also, how are MGS 2&3 HD?

 

[coolasj19]

I'm really tempted to get Terraria but I get the feeling it will go on sale within the next month :l

It definitely will. Just buy it anyway yo. Go ask the devs on Twitter. Say you won't buy it regardless if they don't respond. I'll be good cop you be bad cop.

I just bought it this week and was hesitant as well. I figured they'll hold the price strong to get those that are buying for the 1.2 patch that's incoming.

Not really. Only touch and gyro controls and sub-native. But it is a smooth 60fps. Honest it looks and plays better via Remote Play. It looks drop dead gorgeous super sampled to hell.

I know right? It basically has PS4 parity as of right now. They are good ports.

lolwut. What would you say if you're the good cop?

Maybe they'll have a sale when 1.2 comes out to get people hyped to buy it :O
When does the 1.2 patch release?

Good point. Good cop always goes first. Let me go tweet them.

Speculation and conjecture!

It's cross buy so if you get it on vita now you can download it on ps3/ps4 for free when you get one

Has the 3DS been getting much press? I don't really pay attention to Nintendo news anymore, to be honest.

Bravely Default, and Yoshi's Latest Retread has given the platform some early press this year.

 

[Laughing Banana]

GAF, decide for me: for that 60 get 10 deal which one should I get:

FFX/FFX2 and Danganronpa or FFX/FFX2 and Miku.

Decide for me, GAF.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Infamous is pretty awesome, you guys.

GAF, decide for me: for that 60 get 10 deal which one should I get:

FFX/FFX2 and Danganronpa or FFX/FFX2 and Miku.

Decide for me, GAF.

Always side with Miku.

 

[coolasj19]

Decide for me, GAF.

Miku is already confirmed to be never ever ever getting a discount. Soooooooo, might as well do it now.

 

[baekshi]

Infamous is pretty awesome, you guys.
.

But it's not worth buying day one or before.

 

[wilflare]

Paging wilflare to buy these. I believe he made Steamworld happen with a tweet.

lol. :X you give me more credit than due

Spoiler

(unless u are being sarcastic )

think the dev was pretty interested in the first place... just been talking (or badgering) them to consider Vita since the game's release on 3DS

Spoiler

(DO THE GAME SOME JUSTICE and have it on the VITA!)

in any case, it's gonna be native res. I'm definitely getting... and blowing my Spend 60, get 10 back.

what are the release dates? lol

I rather play.. Raven Rush

 

[RalchAC]

Runner 2 is on sale for 3.50€/i guess 3.50$?/ until next week

3.50€ is on Europe, right? It's hard to resist at that price. Maybe I'd buy it tomorrow when I wake up.

http://thevitalounge.net/mysterious-screens-for-upcoming-upside-down-dimensions/

Do we know something about the game outside the pics?

GAF, decide for me: for that 60 get 10 deal which one should I get:

FFX/FFX2 and Danganronpa or FFX/FFX2 and Miku.

Decide for me, GAF.

Okay. Buy FFX/FFX2 and Miku because:

A) Danganronpa 2 has already been announced for localization. You can support it next month and anything will happen. They're already happy with its sales.
B) Miku 2nd hasn't a localization announcement. You probably want the sequel, so you should support SEGA to prove them there is a audience for the game on the Vita here in the West too.

That's my reasoning.

 

[wilflare]

WAIT
where are you people getting the release dates for Luft and Steamworld? I don't see it on the PSN Blog


and SCEA - We need a Vita Localization team already (Nintendo has one... although it focuses on Nintendo First Party games) BUT COME ON

 

[brandonh83]

GAF, decide for me: for that 60 get 10 deal which one should I get:

I didn't think that purchases on or after 3/18 qualified for the promotion?
