PSVita megathread

Otacon

No error for me in Facebook. I'm on a WiFi PSV.

BTW I was browsing the store last night on my PS3 but went into the Vita section. I was looking through the PSP games listed there and some games that were meant not to work with it were on there. Gran Turismo, Resistance Retribution etc.

Has anyone tested these? I checked the description and they both said 'Compatible with the PSP and Playstation Vita'.

Yeah it's not bad at all for a first go on the handheld much better than psp FIFA obviously. I thought online was good seems steady with little lag with a good connection like the ps3 version. If any of you fancy a game add me rdoyle78.

Finding the right stick tricky to use on vita for FIFA compared to ps3, anyone else think that?

I've mentioned it earlier, but in case you missed it, I had a lot of trouble initially with connecting to my wifi and while I can't 100% confirm it, I believe it was due to the PSV being quite close to my laptop which was also connected to the wifi and streaming a match at the time. Both devices seemed to affect each othe'rs connection until I separated them. If you've tried everything else, maybe check to see if you can disable all other wireless devices in the house and see if that improves things any. Wouldn't expect so but worth a shot.

Well, I just got mine.
Was undecided whether to get it or not but missus got me a voucher for 130 euro for Game for my birthday (of all places).
I went over and the only deal they had was:
console (wifi)
2 games (F1, Little Devients, Marvel V Capcom, and some other game)
I took F1 and paid 20 euro extra for uncharted.
They only had a 4gb stick so got that, 20 euro voucher for the psn store and a 20 % off a game in March.

Very steep and maybe should have waited.
they didnt have half the games that were on display.
Just had a quick game of F1, quite good, graphics not bad at all.
I will try uncharted when I get home as I am in work at the moment.
Not a cheap console but glad I bought it.

Finally got around to playing a bit of Uncharted yesterday. Took a little bit to get use to the smaller analogue sticks, otherwise the game play brilliantly, and the graphics are really stunnings. Its a proper Uncharted game on a hand held .

Whats the story with the PSN store.
I have 20 euro to spend, will that get me anything good?
Can I redeem it against the U.S store?
Any suggestions folks?
Many thanks.

I am trying to get some more games to recoup the fortune I spent on the console..:D

Motorstorm RC is very good and cheap too. Depends on your taste but I found Escape Plan very enjoyable too.

Unless its a US PSN card, then no.

ShadowHearth

Considering from this thread I guess it had way better launch then 3ds?

I honestly want bits to do well and attract attention of more developers! Any figures how well it I
Did at launch in eu and us?

So far I can see everyone are happy with their purchase?

Anyone played Mutant Blobs Attack from the PS Store yet?

First few reviews are very positive and opinion seems to be that it's the surprise gem of the launch titles.

Lads. Any figures how ps vita did in Europe and us? I just some article that developers were switching to 3ds, because of poor launch in Japan. Surely vita had great launch in eu... Dunno about us.

There probably won't be figures until next week as it only launched two days ago.

Bought a psp at launch had about 20 games max for it but still thought it was good value if I get 20 great vita games that will be worth it to me. Not one of these guys that thinks a machine needs lots of games don't have the time to play that many really.

It's not the same bundle though. The Memory card was free for pre-orders. It's 20 quid now, so despite the PSV price drop it's still more expensive overall than a few days ago. They've added Fifa as a game option though.

Got fifa as a bundled game. I have played this on the PS3 but I was never that good at it. Is this one any better/easier or should I flog it? Himmmm

Don't understand me wrong! I love my vita! I love it more and more with each day! Potential is amazing for this hardware! I just don't want developers to write it off before time.

There are tons of moaners about how bad vita is, but our little thread is complete opposite!

I would not take any notice of any doom and gloom articles at this point. The same doom and gloom articles were getting written about the 3DS for about 6 months after release, and it was only last October that most outlets started to change their tune. In fact, the same doom and gloom stuff was being said about the original DS in 2004 before it got released. It was called "a handheld that would never reach mass market" by Edge Magazine before it hit shelves way back then - and that was proven drastically wrong.

It is best to just enjoy the launch and "launch window" games, and wait a few months before looking to (and thinking about) the future.

japan isnt the relevant market it once was. it's grand for japanese oriented games, but for anything remotely western it's not important at all. sure look at the ps3 and xbox sales there

I am loving uncharted and have a couple of games downloading from the psn.
I am not liking F1, I should have picked a different game.
Whats the chances of trading it in for a different game in gamestop.
I know its early days, are they taking trade ins on vita games?
Strange question I know..
