Sony PSVITA Discussion

[fishepa]

You know, there is a shot type where you like "tilt up/down" your controller with perfect impact for some Super Power Shot or something. I've tried that, but I literally have no idea what they mean and don't know how to do it.

Have you been able to do that kind of shot yet?

Have you also done every pin shot type? (rising shot, etc)

I've heard about it but never done it yet, I guess that is what I'm missing. These don't all have to be done in the same round do they?

Jesus Lord, I sure hope not!

I'm guessing if that were the case, you would also have to "win" as well.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

I saw in the Best Buy ad that Sly Cooper is $29.99 and includes a Cross-Buy coupon for the PSVita, for those that are interested. I may pick this up today.

I have both and Enjoy playing both. Good game.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

So I'm missing the final hidden trophy in Hot Shots golf which I think is the use every shot type once. Anyone know exactly how to get this?

Thanks

Shot type is the type of swing interface that you use to hit the ball, like Traditional and Advanced were in OOB. There are 5, and knowing you you may have only used traditional through the whole thing. You simply have to use all 5 one time to get that trophy, and since I can see that you have SOLD OUT already, that you've already bought them all. Just use 'em one time each and the platinum is yours too! Congrats!

Awesome thanks for explanation that will be easy.

I won't be watching, but I know Flawless will give us a good breakdown ... I hope we hear about some games actually being released.

I did snag Sly Cooper for the PS3 and will be downloading the Vita digital copy; I will probably check it out this week while I'm out-of-town on business. Love the Cross-Buy option on these games.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Biggest news is Vita price drop in Japan to ¥19,980 from ¥25,000. Both the 3G and Wi-Fi models will be the same price.

No new game announcements, which is troubling, but also not surprising. A lot Monster Hunter clones coming to Vita in Japan, but still not the real one. Most of the games are also on either the PSP or PS3. The only exclusives being Soul Sacrifice and Valhalla Knights 3.

Square finally and briefly showed FFX HD running on Vita.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

You know, I never did understand why the 3G model costed more, especially when you had to pay for the data afterward.

Well they did have to add a $4 chip in there to accommodate the signal. Gotta have the consumers fit the bill for that.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

I wonder if they're making them the same price to phase out the 3G models and go wifi only to cut costs.

An iPad with 3G capabilities costs $130 more than the wifi only model, even though you have to pay a ridiculous amount for a cellular data plan.

Yeah, usually that's the cost for the design changes to include 2 wireless radios and whatnot I think. Definitely more expensive to have cellular.

Here's a comment I read on an Apple site on an article claiming the iPad is killing the Vita:
The high price of the console, plus the required proprietary memory cards, saddled with a lackluster launch library with only one game worth buying (Uncharted) is what really did the Vita in. Keep in mind that the 3DS was in similar shape at this point after it's launch. It wasnt until after a drastic price cut, as well as the launch of several first party games that should have been available from the start, that things turned around. Now it's the best selling console around the world.

iPhones and iPads are great, but for anything more complicated than fruit ninja or words with friends, they flat out suck thanks to the limitations of touch screen only controls. Angry birds is fun for about ten minutes, then it gets repetitive and boring. These aren't games, they're mini games. So trying to blame the iPhone or iPad for the vita's failure is just false, especially when you factor in the fact that it suffers from the same criticism as it's predecessor, which itself only saw limited success. When the original PSP launched, the state of cellphone games was at level of bejeweled, so it's not like they could blame phones back then. Even in the vacuum of smartphones, the Vita would at best be only as successful as the PSP because Sony is hardheaded and refused to listen to user complaints. They are their own worst enemy, sadly, not Apple.
