Hero-of-Time Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 They released games for the PSP?! Monster Hunter, that's all that was needed. *continues to play Portable 3*
flameboy Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 They released games for the PSP?! Yup lol indeed it did.... Like I said though nothing I would miss except for maybe peace walker which could get as part of the HD collection...
Daft Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Found a Rayman Artifact on Near today when I was over near Hyde Park. Didn't realise you could get gifts for games you didn't own. @Daft What type of game is that mutant blob attacks? Been getting great reviews. Kind of tempting... Loving stardust. Wish I could see how long I've been playing games for - played loads if tennis and SSDD! I only have one physical game, but am I right that even physical games have their own bubble? Meaning if you have a few games it'll be a pain in the arse to find the game and play it, or does it automatically put the game on the first page. Due to it being insanely cumbersome and slow to move bubbles about could be a potential nightmare when you have a few games! MBA is a puzzle platform where you're a...well, you're a blob. You need to absorb items to grow (but that's less a major mechanic and more a means to create puzzles). The art direction is awesome - reminds me of Powerpuff Girls/Dexter's Lab. It's just a real fun platformer with some great ideas in it. And for around ?5 it's awesome. Seriously, I'm back and forth between MBA and Lumines. I'm 99% Delta has time played on its stats page. But, yeah would be nice if there was an overall game time thing. There's the Buzz rating on Near but that's more a general community thing.
dazzybee Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Weirdly. I haven't taken the vita anywhere today, but it says I have travelled 1075 miles and met someone from Hampshire! Anyone else had this?
Daft Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Sounds like your Vita is cheating on you. Busted.

Due to it being insanely cumbersome and slow to move bubbles about could be a potential nightmare when you have a few games! When you put a game in while on a menu, the console moves to the screen with the game icon on and the bubble pulsates.
S.C.G Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 So the pre-order pack DLC... I redeemed my code on the website and got sent the codes for both the avatar and accessories but when I try to download these items on my PSVita for some reason it won't let me? I thought these items were for the PSV? Anyway, I'm guessing that I either have to redeem them via either my PS3 or on the website but it seems kind of silly. Also did anyone get their code for their discounted game? I think it mentions in the e-mail that the discount for the game and early access to Frobisher Says will come later but I don't see why they can't send me the code for the dicounted PSN game, kinda wanted to get SSDD which I chose as my title. Small things really... but yeah otherwise really enjoying playing on my PSV I got another high score on Lumines tonight, played the main mode for over an hour continuously and got around 333,000 was quite pleased oh and it seems I've contributed to the World Block again.
Daft Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Yeah, was going to say, the world block is now going again. Managed to get a high score of 230,000 (which trashed my old score which is even more surprising how sleepy I am). I still can't tell if I'm shit or not. Also, didn't realise you could use a custom picture for the lock screen.
dazzybee Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 whqts the differnce between a demo and a trial?
The Bard Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Just got my hands on a Vita at my local Gamestation; forget what I said before, I must have one immediately if not sooner.

The avatar and accessories are for PlayStation Home, a terrible PS3 "game". whqts the differnce between a demo and a trial? A demo is just a small section of the game - could be any part of the game. A trial is where you download the full game, but can only play up to a certain point, and you buy the unlock code to carry on. Which is one of the things great about XBLA as all games are required to have a trial.
S.C.G Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 The avatar and accessories are for PlayStation Home, a terrible PS3 "game". ... You're kidding me? I kinda thought this might be the case but didn't want to believe it, this is a terrible pre-order bonus in that case I mean what's the point in having it for say people who only own a PSV and not a PS3, even for those that do own a PS3 - like myself - they are unlikely to use it. At least the discounted PSN game is worth having but I'm wondering how much longer we'll have to wait for the codes plus the early access to Frobisher Says... I'm not too fussed about the latter but I would like my code so I can get SSDD for practically free!
Cube Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 FIFA seems to be pretty decent - I quite like the Career mode (player only) and playing as just one person is more fun than I thought (every match you have the option to pick to play just as your character or the whole team). The only problem is it's crashed a few times. Edit: Oh, and turning the rear touch screen off is a must. It's a very nice idea for placing the ball but 9/10 times you shoot accidentally.
m_fergy Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 At least the discounted PSN game is worth having but I'm wondering how much longer we'll have to wait for the codes plus the early access to Frobisher Says...

Sheikah Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, couple of questions: - Can the Vita download and play PS1 games off the PS Store? Or is this an upcoming feature? - Can you login to a US PSN account on the Vita, download a game to it, then switch back to your main UK account and continue to play the game? Edited February 26, 2012 by Sheikah
Cube Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 1. No. However, if your PS3 is on I believe you can remote play PS1 games. It has been announced that it will happen at some point. 2. No.
MATtheHAT Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Anybody bought/buying/thinking of buying Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3?
The Bard Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 I don't see why you'd pay full price for that game on a system that doesn't support its optimal control interface. No game with quarter turn cancels can be played properly without an arcade stick. In other news, I just bought my Vita
Happenstance Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Anybody bought/buying/thinking of buying Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3? I will probably be getting it but not until it comes down in price.
S.C.G Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Still no code... I hope this won't be the same as having to wait an age for the free Kid Icarus code on the 3DS as that took ages, I'm just impatient, I can wait but would really love to be able to download and play SSDD right now... ... I know I could buy it but I won't on principle as I know that I'll be getting it for virtually free with the code, just the waiting. Anyway, still loving the PSV and yes I've still only been playing Lumines. :p
Cube Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 I don't get why the codes weren't in the starter pack boxes.
Coolness Bears Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 So I'm thinking of trading in my 3DS to get this as frankly I think I'd prefer this now. I think I should get Rayman Origins since it's meant to be immense (and I have never played it before) but unsure between Lumines (All aboard the SCG Hypetrain) No seriously I take your opinions seriously @S\.C\.G. Or Wipeout because that looks funnn.

Or Wipeout because that looks funnn. Hmm well if it's a matter of cost then I suppose trading in your 3DS is a viable option but if you can afford to buy the PSVita without trading in then I'd urge you to do that because although technically the Vita does make the 3DS look underpowered the system can still do a fair bit and will surely have a lot more games out this year, plus Mario Kart is always fun. But I leave that up to you... as for the PSVita quite honestly Lumines is rather good if you like puzzle games, I have Rayman Origins but haven't played it, I could do so though if you like? I've been meaning to try it out anyway but it depends on how soon you're planning on getting a Vita. If you decide that you can just buy the system without trading in and want both games ShopTo still have the bundle that I purchased which contains a PSV, Dungeon Hunter, Lumines, Rayman, 4GB card (which you need) plus pre-order pack for £269.86 which is quite a saving plus you'll get about £8-£15 worth of reward points to spend on ShopTo so it might be worth considering. Anyway, have a good think about it and if you need any other help or have any questions then let me know. : peace:
Coolness Bears Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks for the quick reply! I was thinking sometime this week based on when my parents can get my game boxes and 3DS boxes up to me. I informed them this morning (not that my mum fully understood what I was doing. ) If I could afford to I'd definitely have both but unfortunately on my student budget of no income, I cannot BUT I don't not enjoy the 3DS it has great games, it's just not satisfying me as a whole and handheld gaming is my main source of gaming so I take my decision very seriously. I think it would be cheaper to re-get a 3DS down the line if I had the money/so wished to if there was something VITAL. Goddamn Pokemon is keeping me in. Nintendo always have that franchise connection. I guess I'd miss Mario as well. I love Lumines, I didn't get how to play it when I was younger but now it seems awesome to me. that would be cool if you could have quick go on Rayman Origins if you have time.
