Hero-of-Time Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Tomba! arrives in Europe on the 5th September. Well, it appears this was a lie.
Tales Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 It was surpringly easy to create an US account and buy a US PSN card. I got Tombi that way. I was never able to finish Mickey's Wild Adventure as a child. Hopefully I fare better this time.
Sheikah Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Yeah I'd rather get this on my UK account for the purpose of playing it on Vita. I thought I heard somewhere that our store gets updated on Thursdays though?
Daft Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 They moved the update to Wednesday a while ago.
Dcubed Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) The Vita version of Remote play as is used with GOW Collection and Ico/SOTC Collection is very impressive! The video is still capped at 30FPS, the video is noticably compressed (though much better looking than the old PSP video), there's a little bit of audio skipping, but the latency is very good with very little lag at around 6 feet of distance! (It's a bit noticable, but I've felt HDTVs with worse input lag than this - GOW Collection is very playable! ) I've yet to try longer distances (where I'm sure it wont keep up - and I'm not gonna bother with it over the internet), but I reckon it's good enough to try for another play through of Ico in this manner. Should give me a nice taste of what's to come with the Wii U Edit: Just tried it from the other end of my house, no problems... except for button mashing QTEs in GOW - for some reason they seem to kill the video stream (at close range, they work though) Not bad all in all, just avoid playing anything too button mashy at long distances and it's mostly perfectly playable (If not perfectly perfect) Now, how's about getting more games working with it Sony?

killer kirby Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Homebrew Vita coming soon!? http://wololo.net/2012/09/05/usermode-vita-loader-devs-needed/ Sure, running PSP homebrews on Vita is fun, and VHBL is a very nice piece of work, but it’s about time we move on, isn’t it? Developer yifanlu started a new project called Usermode Vita Loader (UVLoader), it will be a homebrew loader for the PSV, basically. Not PSP homebrews, but native PSV code, isn’t it awesome? This project is based on a PSV exploit he found (there are no details about this for now, for obvious reasons), but it’s still in its early stages. Just a few lines of code have been written so far (you can find the code on his github), so, back to the title, developers are needed. If you’re a developer and you want to help, fork the project on github or get in touch with yifanlu on /talk or on IRC (#vitadev on EFnet). If you’re not a developer, there’s nothing for you…yet. But it’s still an awesome news, isn’t it? And please, avoid asking useless questions: there’s no release date yet and it doesn’t work for now, just be patient for now and let the developers do their job. Yifan Lu will eventually post updates about this project on his blog or on twitter, so make sure to follow him. Last but not least, congratulations to yifanlu for his Vita hack
Retro_Link Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 So 1yrs Playstation Plus is on Sale atm (not sure if shorter versions are also?) and I'm kind of tempted! Do you have to stay subscribed in the future though in order to keep your downloads active, or how does it work?... Although that probably isn't the case, in case they stopped doing it. Also, wanting to purchase my first downloads form the Playstation Store... CrashTeamRacing, Beyond Good & Evil, SotC, Journey, Jet Set Radio... How does everyone on here usually buy stuff... just use your credit card (very slight hacker concerns)... or buy a PSN card off Amazon for example?... Are there any Digital Card options/Other options for buying PSN stuff? And where might be the cheapest deals? A thankyou.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Once you are a member of PS+ you get free downloads and offers every month. The free games disappear once your sub ends, but if you subscribe again then you have them for download again. The games you bought at a discount price are still yours though. I usually add credit via a PSN card. Many online shops, such as Shopto, just send the code to you instantly via email. I'm looking at hotukdeals at the moment and these may interest you. http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/50-2x-25-psn-cards-30-very-co-uk-with-voucher-code-1304969 http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/25-psn-card-22-39-delivered-ebay-gamewave-making-a-year-ps-27-38-1304942

Are these now being classed as purchase games and so won't dissapear, as opposed to the ones you're given monthly? Thanks for those links.
Retro_Link Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 OK cheers. Not sure I like that idea really. Although I'd like to think money wouldn't be so tight in the future that I couldn't re-subscribe, but there's just something about not fully owning a game.
Daft Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) I think I might pick up a couple years. £60 for 2 years of Plus. Honk. Yes. Plus is the best thing since Xbox Live. Homebrew Vita coming soon!? http://wololo.net/2012/09/05/usermode-vita-loader-devs-needed/ Also, what's the point of hacking the Vita for homebrew when the PlayStation Mobile Developer Program is available legitimately from Sony? In fact, this dude seems to have done a couple things on the PMDP - https://www.youtube.com/user/digitalarts001 Edited September 6, 2012 by Daft
Cube Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Also, what's the point of hacking the Vita for homebrew when the PlayStation Mobile Developer Program is available legitimately from Sony? Piracy ?
Sheikah Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Still reeling about the lack of Tombi. What's up with that?
Hero-of-Time Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Still reeling about the lack of Tombi. What's up with that? No blog seems to have mentioned it at all. Most are focused on the lack of Counterstrike.
killer kirby Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) In fact, this dude seems to have done a couple things on the PMDP - https://www.youtube.com/user/digitalarts001 So does that allow me to play any game I want anywhere I want? Also, what's the point of hacking the Vita for homebrew when the PlayStation Mobile Developer Program is available legitimately from Sony? Homebrew also allows english patches on games that won't come out over here, I mean Monster Hunter Portable 3rd eng patch is the sole reason as to why I love my Homebrew PSP Also allow me to play ANY PS1 game (With how powerful Vita is running PS2 games should be easy as well) I don't want to wait for Sony to keep bringing games out on PSN to only buy them again when I have the hard copy right in front of me (Also Dragon Quest VII running on PSP is a God send!) EDIT: Forgot PSP games as well, when one has 20 games, one does not want to buy them all over again just to play them on the Vita Piracy ? Vita needs games first before one can pirate them. Edited September 6, 2012 by killer kirby
Cube Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 For me, the Vita has more great games than the 3DS.
Daft Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Just sounds so laborious. I haven't even made a dent in the games I've amassed just from Plus over the past few months, I can't imagine how anyone has enough time to get round to really needing or wanting to do this. But if that floats your boat then that's cool. Sony can't really win either way. It gets hacked and developers will definitely not want to support it. It doesn't get hacked, no one's going to buy it...not that anyone is anyway. PS Vita - the portable we deserve but apparently not the one we need right now.
Sheikah Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Tombi delayed until the end of the month according to the devs. Oh well... GW2 time!
flameboy Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Anyone else in the Dust beta? I got a code like 2 weeks ago but not bothered to download it yet.
Guest Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 If oyu have backlog PSplus only makes things worse. having said the quality and size of games are increasing so it wont get any better. Got to start on RDR now... Anyone else in the Dust beta? I got a code like 2 weeks ago but not bothered to download it yet. I am in the beta. Worth trying out to see the all unique features. Dust does occupy its own unique space but the fps elements right now are rough compared to the other big fps (BF3, MAG, Killzone) besides Firefall beta and Borderlands. Dust is less RPG than those games but it does have very extensive customisation, an auction house, rare drops/rewards etc. It will be free anyhow.
Dcubed Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Disregard... seems that someone said something they shouldn't have... That Tweet should not have been posted, Studio Liverpool is closed, there is no new Wipeout game. Ami Nakajima was not released [i wonder why ], she was just tweeting to say that she "is still alive". Which is pretty tactless. Edited September 17, 2012 by Dcubed
