Sony PSVITA Discussion

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Absolutely in love with my Vita. Find the "lack of games" aura about the system to be a little off. Gravity Rush, Persona 4, MLB The Show, Littlebigplanet and Uncharted are wonderful. Plan to get Sly Cooper and the Metal Gear Solid Collection eventually as well.

I've still got Sly Cooper (PS3 with Vita download) in shrink wrap. I am halfway through Uncharted, about 25% done with Gravity Rush and am a good ways through MGS 3.

MLB The Show winds up eating all of my gaming time, it seems. Not that I'm complaining since that game is a big reason why I bought the Vita, but it would be nice to actually finish those non-sports games.

I've got 4-5 other games just sitting around not being played, too. I still want to pick up LBP and am toying with the idea of getting Persona 4 even though I am not an RPG guy; it's one of those games I feel like I'm missing out on something if I don't play it, and who knows, maybe that's the RPG that finally hooks me?

If Persona 4 doesn't do it. Nothing will.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

I would really like to see a new MLB Power Pro's hit the Vita...

The 2013 version of Power Pros will likely be hitting Japan in a few months.

No announcement yet from Konami on an exact date, but it should be coming.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Hope everyone with a Vita gives Jetpack Joyride a try (it's free!). Great little game and probably one of the most played games on my Vita right now. I'll sit and play it while I watch TV.

I'm not a RPG guy but Persona 4 has turned me into one. It's amazing. The story, the combat, and all the RPG aspects of the game are on point.

If NA Vita owners can get access to that game I would be very happy.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

New Vita exclusive announced from SCEJ, Freedom Wars. Coming in 2014. Multiplayer action genre makes me think it will be a Monster Hunter type game.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

New Tearaway media:


Destructoid

I first got to create my custom Tearaway protagonist, choosing my gender and various facial features. From there, my custom hero was mailed off into the human world in an attempt at establishing relations between the two worlds. Something goes awry though, and the hero is forcibly sent back into the world of Tearaway, an event which causes a tear in the sun.

This hole in the sun is now a gateway into the human world, and the player's face will be constantly projected into the world thanks to the Vita's front-facing camera. Yes, your face is shown off live in the sun at all times, kind of like that Teletubbies baby but less creepy.

Once back in the paper world, your ultimate goal is to find a way up to the reach sun and the player. Unfortunately, the whole sun incident also unleashed monsters, so you and your character must work together to clear out them out.

Polygon

Another component of Tearaway that I didn't get to experience the last time I played it was its in-game photography. I took my first snap in Tearaway while in the company of a papercraft squirrel, who requested I make him a crown from a piece of paper. After drawing my finger across a sheet of gold paper, which a pair of scissors then cut into something vaguely crown-shaped, the squirrel asked for a photo of him wearing the crown. I obliged with my virtual camera, and an Instagram-flavored photo was snapped.

That picture was then uploaded to the Tearaway website — where players can have their own pages filled with shareable in-game moments

Shacknews

Because the world is made entirely of paper, the Vita acts as a diorama box of sorts. Whenever you interact with your new toy box, the god of this world is literally breaking into the world. For example, you can use the rear touch pad to have your finger burst into the world, knocking over enemies and toppling objects. Seeing a polygonal representation of your finger in this virtual world is a bizarre sensation, to say the least. A nice touch: whenever you "break" the world, you can see through it and see the real world, thanks to the Vita's rear camera.

Tearaway is structured like a rather standard 3D platformer. However, the puzzles you encounter all utilize PS Vita features in some way.

Guacamelee, EXCELLENT game - I almost platinumed it, but I'm missing one or two chests somewhere on my two play throughs :/ But ya, it's an excellent choice and a steal at $15.00

Guacamelee is a game I might have purchased on XBox Live arcade, but it feels so much more a better fit for a hand held gaming system.
