Sony PSVITA Discussion

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

So this is what i did: connect the vita to the ps3 with the usb cable, on the vita go to 'content manager', click 'ps3 to vita', click 'applications', clcik 'applications (ps vita), click 'items downloaded on ps3', select the games u want and voila!

Yeah, this is probably the way to go...I'm not seeing how to move my Media Go PSP files over to the Vita content manager, so I'll probably just download stuff to the PS3 and then copy it over to Vita. About to try this with Tactics Ogre, one of the PSP games that's supposed to work, as soon as it finishes downloading.

In other news...freaking Bob got a hole in one already on HSG!

Ha...all luck Brian. Kinda takes the drama out of trying to accomplish it later though. The "find a friend" option in Hot Shots is pretty cool and easy to just see who is playing HSG on your friends list, and invite them.

Well, first you unpack it, then put the memory card in. It's now time to power it up, it will run you through multiple tutorials, and you need to set up the WiFi. You will have to do the firmware update, and then you can link up with your own account. It took me about an hour to do the initial set-up, and although you can skip the tutorials, I wouldn't.

This is FALSE....i wasted time getting upset when i saw this...you do NOT have to do anything with the wi fi if you choose and you DO NOT even have to run an update..

finally got mine set up and i love it...bought hot shots on my way home from work couldnt resist

I didn't claim this was the absolute only way.....I just followed what system told me to do. Didn't mean to upset you.

Bob, I'm getting upset reading your replies placed before the quoted text. LOL

How are you liking the analog sticks? How about the back touch panel?

Better? The analog sticks work great in both FIFA and Hot Shots....although you really only use them in HSG to look around. I actually turned the back touch panel off for FIFA, and went with standard button to score.....overall, I couldn't be more impressed within system right now.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

How is GTA on the Vita? Can you control the camera with the right stick? I'm assuming not since I don't think you could on PSP, but just want to make sure.

Unfortnately no, you can map the right stick to do anything done on the left stick, d pad, or face buttons. But the original game did not have a movable camera so u cant do it on the vita.

It works really well pn tiger woods though, on the psp game u can move the camera w the dpad, so on the vita u swing with the left stick and swivel the camera wih the right.

I'll give my thoughts on this too....

Love the feel of the analog sticks as compared to the PSP nubs. That said, I haven't played a game that actually requires them yet, so I'm not sure how that feel applies to actually playing a game. If the Gradius Collection works I may copy that over and play it, should give me a feel for how they handle (well, the left one at least). Edit: Yeah, I guess they work for moving the camera in Hot Shots, but it's hardly essential.

Rear touch...only one thing that's been used for thus far, a little minigame in the Welcome Park app. I like how it's pressure sensitive, as the harder you tap the higher a ball shoots up towards some targets in that minigame. Interested to see how that will be applied.

Actually ALL psp games work if u download them this way. I got little big planet to work this way as well.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

LOL, thanks Bob.

I noticed that I kept hitting the right analog stick when I tried hitting X. This happen to you guys?

1. Hows the battery life?
2. Does it have a quick sleep mode like Apple devices? Meaning, you don't have to completely shutdown and restart between sessions.
3. How are the game load times?

How do I download games I bought on the PS network for my PSP GO? I want to redownload Madden and MLB the Show (Even though the new ones coming out in a few weeks)?

I think I will turn off the touch panel for FIFA.. after watching Jeff Gerstmann score 4 goals in a few minutes in their preview, I was left thinking its too precise to shoot that way

Vita FIFA is the same as console, minus Ultimate team?? Is that correct ?

I dont have a psp go so i cant say for sure, but what i would do is use ur ps3 to download the games from the ps store, and then copy them over using the method i described earlier.

my vita is not recognizing my ps3 for some reason....my s3 recognizes the vita but not vice versa

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

One thing I've noticed about copying these PSP games over from PS3 - It always seems to fail on the first attempt. The second try goes off without a hitch. Odd.

If it works, I'm going to try getting my first taste of the Show on Vita - I still have the 2010 PSP version.

Edit: It does, and now I'll really be able to test the analog stick - Show '10 certainly had the PCI in the PSP version.
