Playstation Vita...

Sure we will get it at some point though.

While on the subject of design, does anyone else think that the Vita would feel and look so much better with an aluminium rim rather than the silver plastic one. Just something that bothers me a little, probably from being spoilt by Apple's amazing industrial designs. Apart from that the Vita looks great imo.

Yeah it sure would, I assume they went with cheap and lighter rather than quality materials. They emulated an aluminium rim quite well superficially, until it's in your hands.

I will trade in my Vita for the white model, just as I'm sure 3DS Lite with dual controller and an improved screen with more viewing angles will be announced at E3, and I'll get one of them too. :)






Mortal Kombat Vita


So I got MK on Vita and it's left me a bit meh! It's ok, it's not bad, it's just not too special either. I think the trade off for 60fps and reduced character polygon models/textures was a poor one.

I think a rock steady 30 FPS's and better models & effects with post processing and maybe bulletine/slowmo to appreciate the fatalities/xray attacks would enhance the game more than the 60fps does.

Do you seriously just buy all the sucky titles? :p I love ya man, and listening to you QQ about launch titles get me laughing like no other but save your money for the next wave of games lol. :D

Gravity Rush, Persona 4 etc etc etc

Tales of Innocence R is a lot of fun, looks good for it being a DS port. They added more voice over and cutscenes as well as a new intro flix.

We don't mention hedgehogs anymore btw.. what happens in World 1 stays there :p;):D

I am waiting for a dual analogue 3DS before I buy one. Got one at launch and used it for about a week so sold it. But looks like it has some momentum now.
As for MK. It sound dissapointing. I had faint interest in it to begin with. But that sums up how i feel about most of the games on the horizon too.
I want to see some more Playstation franchises like a Gran Turismo or a daxter. Then definitely a GTA. I foam at the mouth thinking about a GTA Vita! Ohh and CoD should be nice, been waiting for a really good onliner.
More vita games in june - http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/05/16/more-playstation-vita-announcements-in-june
 
^ I think E3 Sony will be concentrating on VITA and we will get a slew of new game announcements. (well I hope so anyway).

Aint it just!
Worst of all the screen looks so flat. I don't know how they managed to pull that off but there's no depth. Every other Vita game I own has this rich contrast. It's not there in MK.


E3 and Vita will be awesome I reckon!

Now wheres the fun in that :)
Money wise it really is better, but being tech geeks i want the newest shiniest thing out there. Loving my Vita even thought there are not a lot of games. Cant wait for gravity rush! And a monster hunter for Vita...

I couldn't disagree more. Putting the frame rate stuff completely aside, I think the game is amazing!

I haven't played a better fighting game in a long time. I really enjoyed playing through the basic ladder on normal. Then I bumped up the difficulty level. I went and looked at the move list periodically as I played, and I got better and better. Then I played an online game. Lag free - it was amazing! Now I just started the story mode, and I had no idea it was going to be so well developed with so much in game audio / video. it's really cool!

I made the decision to buy MK Vita as a download, that way I could always have it on my device as a pick up and play kinda game, and I don't regret that decision!

Also, I never had a PSP. So I'm playing through the God of War PSP games. I'm really getting a lot of enjoyment out of my system. I also just bought Daxter (PSP) to play once i'm done w/ God of War.

The next true Vita game on my list is Gravity Rush. I think i'm going to get the phsyical copy because as cool as that game seems, I think i'll sell it once I beat the game. Anyhow, I really love the Vita - I'd like them to port more of the PSP games over - I want to play the GTA games...

I didn't say the game was bad at all. I said the graphics were simply awful. I like the game, hence I re-bought it on the Vita after already completing (or should that be Kompleteing) the PS3 version.

So your disagreement is actually inaccurate/misplaced :)



And Gravity Rush / Daze is pretty and locked to 30FPS ;)
 
I did two PS Vita related things yesterday...

1) I got sad when I read all of the Resistance reviews. Seriously, Sony? Why would you release a piece of crap like that to us? At least the used market for that game will be good. Probably will be able to get it for like $15 on eBay in a few months.

2) I pre-ordered Gravity Rush. I'm pumped!
 
^You should play the demo first dude...reviews shouldn't be the final nail for you but a guideline. The reviews are so mixed for this game so its best to check it out for yourself.

I've tried the demo and its a solid FPS control wise but I'm not a big fan of FPS so im skipping it.


Bless

Assassin's Creed was announced for Vita a long time ago, they just hadn't announced any details. This is still a rumour although we do know a game in the franchise is coming to Vita.

I must have forgotten about that. I suppose the real news was the details about the female main character.
 
The original launch titles were meh... I got one free as a gift from my cousin so I can't complain too much. Can't wait for Madden and NBA 2k in the fall.

It had the best launch line up of any console at least since the NES. That's as far back as I remember.
 
Sony's E3 presentation was the perfect opportunity to reassure Vita owners that the system was worth holding onto, and they flopped magnificently.

Right now I'm 50:50 about selling it or passing it onto my brothers.

I'm 100% that I'll be picking up a 3DS in the next week or so though :p
 
^ i'd wait to see what the new larger 3DS is going to be like. :)

Disappointing that more Vita games haven't been unearthed so far at e3 too.

Yeah I would of liked to see some more too, but AC3 looks quality. Oh and maybe we will get a crystal white Vita in EU soon too. Hopefully a 3G one not just the WiFi one as mentioned with the bundle.
 
E3 doesn't even technically start until today, guys - I thought Sony's press conference was great! I feel great about my Vita purchase. I'm playing some awesome PSP games (never had a PSP), I'm loving Mortal Kombat, Gravity Rush is on pre-order, and there's a whole slew of other cool games coming out!

I LOVE the cross-platform play w/ PS3 / Vita, but it will be a non-starter for me if I have to buy both versions. Screw that. If the PS3 comes with a download code for the Vita version, or they have a special bundle version for like $10 extra, fine - but no way i'm buying both!
 
Guess what i'm playing???

Yay!!!

Congrats! I wonder if it's the same as the demo they had at E3? Has it got the tap-ball-jumpy level thing? I loved that level.

Still waiting to get in myself!

^ Still downloading it at moment, due to nearly 4gb of different apple updates at same time :rolleyes: 37 minutes left :(

Can I have your broadband for a while ? 4mb just doesn't cut it...


I assume most PSN+ users with a Vita will get in ? I don't ever recall applying for it.




EDIT:

Update it's fab and yes that level from E3 is there. This looks so pretty on the Vita. There was an update as soon as I launched the game, initial start-up was slow but after the update its fine. Simply awesome game..

Mesa Happy as Jar Jar would say :D
