The Bard Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Anyone got the Elite pass on 2050 Rockway Stadium on Zone? Last one I need to get, and it is a total bitch. Edit: Cmaaaan gaiz. Anyway, I've played the shit out of Wipeout, stumped about what to get next. Leaning towards Rayman: Origins, but would prefer something either exclusive, or more suited to Vita.

Dcubed Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Finally got one! (Wifi, 16GB memory card & Rayman Origins - perfect port BTW!) Not really impressed with any demo (except Lumines. Though it doesn't do anything new, it looks like a great version of Lumines), but that's not why I bought it. I got it for Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and by god! it really does breath new life into PSP games! The colours just pop and the bilinear filtering works wonders on these games. But best of all is that 2nd stick! (plus no more shitty nub and crappy ergonomics! ) The ability to finally be able to play MHFU with a good control scheme at last makes the purchase worthwhile. This makes the wait for MH3G a LOT more bearable Gonna have fun rediscovering the PSP's library BTW: Anyone else have trouble getting the Vita to connect to the PS3 via USB? It connects to the PC just fine, but it just doesn't detect my PS3. I've tried disabling USB charging but that didn't help (yes I've tried doing it from both the Vita's main menu and through its content manager, no luck) There's a bunch of PSP games that can only be downloaded onto the Vita by using a PS3. Please help! Edited March 12, 2012 by Dcubed
Aimless Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 In order for the PS3 and Vita to 'see' each other I believe the latter has to be sat on the XMB and connected to your PSN account. So long as I wait for the machine to log in I don't have any issues.
Dcubed Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 In order for the PS3 and Vita to 'see' each other I believe the latter has to be sat on the XMB and connected to your PSN account. So long as I wait for the machine to log in I don't have any issues. I tried that, but after trying to connect to the PS3, the Vita throws up an error message saying that "The device could not connect" (the PS3 just stays on the XMB with no visible change). Anyone?
Cookyman Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 I tried that, but after trying to connect to the PS3, the Vita throws up an error message saying that "The device could not connect" (the PS3 just stays on the XMB with no visible change). Anyone? When you connect are you pressing the circle button on the PS3 controller?
Dcubed Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 When you connect are you pressing the circle button on the PS3 controller? No, I'm not pressing anything on it. I'm just leaving it idle on the XMB with it signed into the same account as is on the Vita.
The Bard Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Does anyone here have Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together? I just bought it. If you do, let us cling together, together
Dcubed Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 That sounds....wrong. Especially when you look at his signature as well, lol! Can anyone help me with my PS3-Vita connection problem?
The Bard Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 That sounds....wrong. Especially when you look at his signature as well, lol! My intentions are purely...legal.
Ike Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 I have it, but not played it (well I did for less than 30 minutes). The YS games are a great price at the moment for £8 each, although I heard YS I&II don't work on the Vita or something.
Jon Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Finally got round to setting mine up, it's so very shiny. Add me comrades.
S.C.G Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Anyway, I've played the shit out of Wipeout, stumped about what to get next. Leaning towards Rayman: Origins, but would prefer something either exclusive, or more suited to Vita. I got Wipeout today, I'd been on the fence about whether to get it or not but after seeing the immense amount of fun you've been having with it and seeing as Shopto dropped the price slightly I finally caved and bought it. Anyway, I've added you so if you see a request from 'Metal-Mutiny' that's me I look forward to hopefully challenging your times on Wipeout, I'm gonna need a bit of practice though I reckon as its been agggges since I last played the PS3 version. : peace:
The Bard Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Yeah man, Wipeout is the shit. It really sunk its teeth into me and I went and Elite Passed everything/ have an almost pathological need to beat all my friends' times, so bring your A game . Also, how fucking great is Mutant Blobs Attack? You basically play this spiky green macrophage going around absorbing shit, like a sidescrolling Katamari, except with a lot more variation in terms of what the blob can do and interact with the environment, and the settings tell this absolutely ridiculous but pretty funny story. I like it.
Daft Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Fucking A to the MBA love. So...why is Treasures of Montezume Blitz free? Is it shit or something?
ShavenWolf Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Sooooooo as I hate clutter I got the official Vita charging stand/cradle/dock thing.... Looking pretty suave next to the 3DS dock!
ShavenWolf Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Oh wow, now I've gotta have one of those. I was getting paranoid about it getting scratches on the back touchpad every time I put it down! I got it off eBay as there's quite a few in the £10-£15 price range on there. RE: Treasures of Montezuma - it appears to be free to download, but it's taking a leaf out of iOS's book by supporting in-game purchases.
The Bard Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 I've just realised that the aesthetics of Wipeout 2048 kinda bother me. The previous games were all about sleek, futuristic functionality, neon lights and simple coloration, whereas this game is a lot more earthy grounded in the present. I was saying that I like this in a sort of narrative sense, but really, it's a racer, who the fuck am I kidding in saying that I give a shit about any sense of temporal progression rooted in its aesthetics? Hopefully they'll provide some of the Wipeout HD tracks as DLC, would love to revisit those. I've been banging on about this game for far too long, it really should have its own thread.
Daft Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Downloaded the demo. Loved it. Downloaded the full game. I love the vertical bits of the track, HD was really missing that.
Cube Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Hopefully they'll provide some of the Wipeout HD tracks as DLC, would love to revisit those. They're bringing the whole of Wipeout HD as DLC. Free if you already own the PS3 version.
The Bard Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 That's true actually, the tracks in 2048 are a lot more like rollercoasters that totally fuck with your sense of vertical/horizontal, especially in the higher speed classes where you thrust off elevations in the tracks and it becomes as much about calculating trajectory as it is about finding a good racing line. Fantastic game, but not as visually iconic as it's antecedents. It also feels more visceral and less understated; the way the boost pads thrust you forward and the sounds of the weapons. Unleashing quake on a group of online players has never been so brutally satisfying. They're bringing the whole of Wipeout HD as DLC. Free if you already own the PS3 version. I've heard rumours of this, but I was told it was only for cross play/ the tracks, for some bizarre reason wouldn't be available for single player races. Also, the load times on this thing are a bit shit.
Cube Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012/02/16/try-ps-vitaps3-cross-play-content-for-one-price/ If you purchase WipEout 2048 and you already own WipEout HD and the HD Fury DLC on PS3, you will be able to download them for free when they launch on PS Vita later this spring.
The Bard Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) That's excellent man. Looking forward to it . Edit: Daft, nice you beat my times on a couple of tracks. Are you playing with pussy pilot assist on though? Edit 2: Now just gone and trounced you by 11 seconds. Come at me bro. Edited March 24, 2012 by The Bard Automerged Doublepost
Daft Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 If I beat your times it was only by luck. Got to say I'm feeling this much more than HD. It just seems tighter, less floaty. I love it. Also, I love the sound. The engine noises and the crowd noises, awesome. I've always got the Tron legacy soundtrack going with the custom soundtrack and it's bloody heaven. Only negative is there not being an option to set up a custom race. I think I read that they'll patch that and they were great with updates on HD, so fingers crossed. I was kind of unenthused after the reviews but blimy it's a scorcher. The Vita has had the best bunch of launch titles by a country mile and then some. Unbelievable, tbh.
