Posted February 21, 2012 Digital pricing is pretty much on par with my expectations. Technically we're actually seeing a bigger discount that those in the US, but the UK is something of an anomaly in that no one charges RRP for games. Personally I've never had much intention of going digital except for games I'm likely to regularly dive back into, like LittleBigPlanet or ? were it my kind of game ? Lumines. The pricing of digital-only titles seems good, and that's the main thing as far as I'm concerned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 21, 2012 What? You have to be insane to buy digitally, it's cheaper to buy the actual game. I thought apple was bad with their pricing, but they're a bargain in comparisn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 21, 2012 Dont go to Game for ubi games http://www.computerandvideogames.com/336790/game-not-selling-ubisoft-vita-launch-games/ Game are fucked. GAME added: "As the official launch partner for PlayStationVita we are pulling out all the stops to make this hugely anticipated hardware release as exciting as possible for our customers. HA. Fucking classic. "We're the official launch partner so we're offering everything you could want from a console launch! Except for that, that and you guessed it, that too. If you want the complete selection, please go to a retailer that isn't an official launch partner". My Uncharted game arrived from Shopto (obviously).

Posted February 21, 2012 No Ubisoft games = People buy better games instead = More exciting launch. Whilst I might normally agree, Rayman and Lumines are two of the machine's best games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 21, 2012 No Ubisoft games = People buy better games instead = More exciting launch. But Ubisoft are publishing Lumines and bringing Rayman Origins, the former of which is supposed to be one of the best launch titles and the latter of which is a brilliant game that people really should check out. The rest of the games Ubisoft are bringing are terrible but the fact that both of the titles I've mentioned aren't being stocked is pretty poor on GAME's behalf. Edit: beaten to it by Aimless Still deliberating whether to pick a Vita. Would trade in my 3DS towards it as that's sitting unused and has been for some time but it's likely that this too would sit unused outside the launch period, like all my games consoles. So think I'm gonna hold off. Also wasn't too happy with the analogue sticks when I had a go on one a few days ago. Felt too small and just didn't feel right.

Posted February 21, 2012 Come on then fill us in with your impressions of the system and it's games. : peace: It's very impressive. It's an absolute power house. I haven't even touched Uncharted yet - just been playing Virtua Tennis. Gotta say Virtua Tennis looks amazing. And the player models are brilliant. The system itself I've had a little play with but not much. It is similar to the 3DS in how you can pause a game and return to the home menu to open something else. One thing I have been doing whilst playing is pausing Virtua Tennis and opening up the Trophy app to see what I can do next. It's all seamless with no slow down and little lag (compared to the PS3 anyway). All PS3 trophies are shown with a separate list of Vita ones. The trophy app is a better way to track what you have unlocked than it is on the PS3. I like the big circle blob for each app - it's all laid out well and doesn't look cluttered. The system itself felt sightly awkward at first. I wasn't keen on the control sticks - but I have found myself not having any problems after spending about 3 hours straight on Virtua. I think the bigger test will be playing Uncharted as the right control stick is very close to the 4 main buttons. It is a little difficult to press the X button sometimes as the stick is almost in the way. Again though, this is probably just something that I need to get used to. Not tried anything to do with the rear touch pad yet. Took a picture of myself to create a custom tennis player and it was very good quality for the low lighting. My created player was not flattering in the slightest however... so has been swiftly deleted... The buttons have great feedback (MUCH better than the original PSP) and the D-PAD is one of the best I have felt from any controller or handheld. Lots of praise there. There is so much more to doooo! But that is gonna have to wait haha. And by the time i post that you lot will have been wiping your own jizz off the screen of your shiny new toy and wont give a shit then lol. It feels very very different to the 3DS experience too - and that in my opinion is a good thing. I now know that these 2 consoles can definitely exist together and both be successful. We just need the games to be there which I'm confident they will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 21, 2012 Motorstorm RC seems pretty awesome.

The only thing putting me off is no online multiplayer You use a USB cable to transfer so it should be super quick. So, download tonight. It's not the kind of game that would benefit for online, tbh. Races last like...45 second. Imagine waiting for players to fill a race and then boom you start and you're done. I think they've nailed it with the timed ghost things. Give it a go. I'd be surprised if you still think it lacked it after playing it. It's almost a racer/puzzle game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 21, 2012 Awesome, can you give us more info on virtua, why it's so good. Checked out online yet? It's so good because if you have ever played a Virtua Tennis game before you will know exactly what you are doing. Some of these newer tennis games on the main consoles are trying to be super realistic and it takes the pick up and play element away from what a sport game should be all about imo. This just feels perfect for the Vita. It looks great, plays amazingly well and there are lots of different modes to play through. Yeah, some might be shit (like mini games etc) and the career mode is nothing new / slightly tedious - but if you just want it to be able to play some on the go tennis then it's perfect. Having said that, if you wanna spend a good hour or more with the game, whack the difficulty up to professional, set up a match playing best of 5 sets and away you go. Hard as nails. But great fun. Online I have played one match - perfect, no lag. And I handed some Japanese guy his ass. So all is good. Looking forward to handing you your's Dazzy... lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
