I find it funny how so many websites run with the headline "PSN downtime" for these announcements. Has anyone ever been unable to log in during these scheduled maintenance periods? I know I haven't. (Well, apart from the hack, but that doesn't count.)
This is probably my favourite series on PS3 at the moment. It gets storytelling and character development in a way so few other games manage. Really excited for the fifth iteration, and I'm crossing everything for a Western release.
Hopefully, SEGA has been working on the translation during development, so we don't have to wait forever for it to drop overseas.
@Splat Yeah, I nearly always go with the paid delivery option, but I didn't expect free to be this slow. I guess I'll have to stump up the cash in the future!
@KALofKRYPTON Yeah, Stranger's Wrath is excellent, and the port is brilliant. Runs wonderfully and looks great on PS3. Sounds like the Vita version is going to look similarly hot.
@KALofKRYPTON I think it sounds very reasonable too. People seem to be acting like this console is worthless though. I read a post over the weekend claiming the console "should" cost £99.99. Sigh.
@The3DSisMINE I don't think you have anything to worry about — the PS3 version was fantastic, and this appears to be based on the same code. I think it's just a testament of how easy Vita is to work on.
@Azikira Read around the 'net and there's so many conflicting opinions. It's damned if you do, damned if you don't for Sony really. If it brings established franchises or day-and-date multiplatform titles to Vita, then people complain the Vita needs unique content. If it releases something new (like Gravity Rush), then people complain that the game should be on PS3.
At this point, I'm pretty much convinced Sony can't satisfy anyone with Vita.
@JavierYHL You guys and your Vita! I'm expecting a big handheld presence at this year's show too, but I still hope there's lots of room for The Last of Us, Battle Royale, God of War: Ascension and more. There's plenty of time for PS3 and Vita during the press conference.
@Squiggle55 I personally think the table-tennis mode in Sports Champions is the best example of motion controls on the market. I would love an online enabled version of that.
@irken004 I didn't enjoy the beta much either, but I was really impressed with how far the game's come since then. I think it's worth remembering that Lightbox Interactive held a real beta for this game, not a jumped up demo.
As such, you have to really judge the final product as its own thing. Apart from a few minor niggles, they nailed it in my opinion.
@Kage_88 I wouldn't be put off by the numbers. The system itself is excellent and the available software is ace too. If you're really not interested in any of the games yet, wait it out. But I think is silly to not buy a Vita because the sales numbers aren't great. If you want it — buy it. The support will come.
@KALofKRYPTON The big first-person shooters can come in addition to this, and we know they are. Resistance is nearly out, Killzone is in development. I'd be surprised if this game was priced more than Little Deviants or Reality Fighters, which are currently the cheapest Vita titles (certainly in the UK anyway).
I really like all the social connectivity on offer here. Will probably be a nice title to have sitting on the system. Hopefully it's got a good price point.
@IrishYort It's out on the PlayStation Store this week, yes. I'm not sure what the situation is in North America, but I can confirm that the game works on UK Vitas.
