Sony PSVITA Discussion

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

I've spent a little over an hour with this thing and yeah, I'm in love.

I only have Uncharted right now. Will probably pick up HotShots Golf when I finish UC and of course the Show in 10 days.

HSG is really fun. Those are the only 2 I have right now. I'll crack open UC Sunday night when I get off work for a few days.

Uncharted just looks amazing on a such a small display. The image clarity is jaw-dropping. Well, at least to me it was.

Now that I think of it, this is the first time that a Ridge Racer game did not launch with a Sony system......now granted Ridge Racer is coming 3/20 as part of the "Launch Window", but not day 1.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

I'm taking back my best buy case and bought this one from amazon. It comes out march 6th. Comes with a few things and it's only $28.


Do you really care where I sent this from?

Dickey, be careful using CTA's usb cords and stuff. I had their stuff for my psp and everytime I plugged in the usb cord to my pc all the other USB ports would shut down.

Weird, and I don't have an explanation but it never did that with the 1st party cords. Their headphones aren't turrible and work ok but the left one went out on me fairly sooner than I expected. (Of course this was all for the psp)

I don't mind cases and other non-electronic 3rd party acc. but for USB cords, car chargers, etc.. I stick with 1st party now.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

okay, I am typing on Vita and OS works okay. i am getting the checikered screen while loading , so its a little slow but, it's managageable.

As far as i can tell, youtube doesn't work but I imagine an app will be release.

I will be uploading some FIFA pics soon.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

I have zero regrets buying a PS Vita. Tons of replay value with games like Hot Shots Golf, F1 2011 and Fifa.

I am going to spend more time with these games before I open Uncharted, WipeOut and Rayman Origins.

Thanks for the reply aukevin!

I just watched the IGN review of the game. They mentioned unlocking tourneys in the game. Before I unlock a tourney I have to beat the previous one. Is there a point in the game where I have to shoot an ungodly -19 or something along those lines to progress?

I'm looking at the Vita as a sports gaming thing. I know HSG is little arcadey, but I want a good game of golf. Unlike the IGN reviewer, I don't mind taking my time to set up a shot.

Not yet. I'm in the 5th tournament now and haven't shot that well in many of them, I've still won most of them the first time. I haven't seem the computer put up anything better than a -5 the first time through the courses. But if you do struggle repeatedly, then a Easy mode becomes available.

Wow, I didn't even see them shoot that low, under normal conditions. The only time I saw them go below par were when the rules made a course easier (Mega Cup, for example). With no special rules, I'm pretty sure not even one of them broke par.

Good point about the easy mode - it's silly that IGN rated the game low for being too unforgiving, and didn't even mention that option.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Apparently you can watch Youtube via remote play but that seems senseless really , If I'm near my PS3, I'm near my computer.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Not sure how they could even say HSG was unforgiving, on one hole in one of the challenge tourneys I hit out of bounds twice in one hole and still easily won the tournament. I guess they mean they couldn't hit every 40 foot putt, they could only get close.

IGN's review is terrible. How can you take the reviewer seriously when he knocks the game for being challenging? Takes time to setup shots??? Isn't that what you should be doing if you want a good score? My opinion is play the game for yourself as that review was complete garbage.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

I did the same freaking thing! Did it twice to myself. I also thought it just meant to extra uses or 2 extra points towards the power. After doing it and then seeing what the heck was happening I learned my lesson.

Really really wish we could set up our own rounds and play each other. Hopefully soon.

Just curious if anyone tried this?

Party allows for cross game voice and text chat for up to eight players on PS Vita. Through Party, users can invite other party members directly in their online game sessions and add a bookmark for their favorite parties to reconnect to later.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

I don't need a review, I have played it and its great.

In fact, it makes me want to fire up HS:OOB on PS3 (which I haven't done in at least 2 years) and compare the two.

I have seen it but haven't tried it out. I imagine its like the 360 party thing
