Sony PSVITA Discussion

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

These grips are getting some good reviews from people. Does anyone know how much these are?

I have it. They are very useful for ModNation Racers, feels real good, like a console controller. The triggers felt weird at first because they don't feel like they press very far and were kind of stiff, but they do push down all the way. Just took a little bit to get used to. The attachment doesn't do too much for me in a game like HSG because I don't need a firm grip on the Vita for that game like MNR.

With the attachment on, it does limit how far I can slide my thumb over on the touchpad. Without the attachment I could easily reach 3/4 of the way across the screen with my thumb. With the attachment I can only go halfway across the screen with my thumb. Not sure if that matters or not, but it is a little easier thumbing left and right between the pages of the Vita games and apps without the attachment. But that's why you have two thumbs.

It's real easy to pop the frame on and off. You just slide the Vita in, top end first, then snap in by pushing the bottom end in. To pop out, just push on the back side of the Vita near the bottom to pop it out.

I had that setup for my psp and it was a must for me. Glad to see they have it for the vita as well.

Yep. Mine is waiting for me at GS. Picking everything up at same time on Wednesday. I am taking back HSG today (I never opened it) and putting the $ towards the VITA which I believe pays it off.
Then it's Target when they start the B2G1. Just need to figure out which other 2 games to get.

And thanks, I'm probably now $18 poorer.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Ok I think I'm getting HSG and Mod Nation...
1 more to pick... Just not sure.
FIFA looked fun but I'm just not a soccer guy. I'm not getting UC for 49.99.. So any other "impressions"/Suggestions on a game?

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

They installed a custom firmware on their Vita which allows for that. I would advise against it, though. I'm not sure if you can install new upgrades on top of that from thereon out.

Custom firmware was on PS3, not Vita.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Can you play PSN games on the Vita?

I'm specifically looking at Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection.

Sorry, that's what I meant. They used the remote play feature on Vita to connect to their PS3, which had said installed firmware.

None of mine work. I don't have MK though. I tried Jak and Daxter, Plants vs Zombies, Simpsons, the game show games, BTTF, lots others. None work. Of course maybe I'm not doing it right. When I open up the Content Manager, the only game to transfer was ModNation Road Trip which I bought digitally. No PSN games showed up to transfer or PSP minis which I was disappointed at. I tried through Remote Play and they all said not playable as well. Any other method?

Thanks Kevin, that does look like it will be a necessary accessory making this feel like a controller. I'll have to find my way to GS this weekend and get this one. Based on the MNR demo I played, I think that this grip would come in handy. I bet this grip will be great for racers.

No doubt. For me it's all about being comfortable when playing. After my sons bball game I'm headed over to GameStop to pick one up.

I have MK and it doesn't work.

On the other hand, Love the Vita's version of Blazblue. I'd never played the series prior to this and picked it up on a whim. It has the entire storyline from Calamity Trigger built into its story mode, and the DLC content from the PS3/360 version already included. It also has a very expansive tutorial mode which hits every special feature in the game as well as demonstrating general fighting game strategy. I don't think you'd want to try playing it with the analog stick, but the pad does well enough IMO.

Not many playing it online though, at least outside of Japan. Hopefully the numbers get a boost when the other Vitas come out in a few days.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

If anyone has music loaded on their Vita, can you please try and play music while playing a game? I know it will work for games like Marvel vs. Capcom and Super Stardust, but I want to look at a game that wouldn't have allowed it on PS3. I think Uncharted might be one of them, as well as ModNation Racers.

If anyone can check that out for me, that would be superb!
