ohhaime commented on Capcom Finds Lost Planet 3's Box Art and Relea...:

This new trailer makes the story look a bit like Dances With Wolves In Space.

I'm really surprised that I'm actually looking forward to the release of a shooter(other then Half-Life 3). I just hope it doesn't flop.

ohhaime commented on Feature: Five Forgotten First-Party Franchises...:

Ape Escape
Crash
Jet Moto
War of the Monsters

Rocket: Robot on Wheels( Actually an N64 game but it was made by Sucker Punch which is now owned my Sony.Ubisoft was the publisher and they probably own any rights to it but if SP was somehow able to retain the rights I'd love to see it happen.)

ohhaime commented on PS4 Makes Communication a Breeze with Bundled ...:

I don't really use Voice chat but I can really see how handy it would be to be able to plug a headset into you controller,so I appreciate that feature.
Bundling a headset should keep people from using the camera Mic and forcing people to listen their whole house.Unfortunately it still won't stop me from having to listen to/mute their own stupid selves.

I always just use my Wii in standby mode(the yellow light) to charge my controllers.

ohhaime commented on Sony Officially Reveals the PlayStation 4, Lau...:

I don't really care about the PS4 at this point.The meeting went pretty much exactly how I expected things to go.
I like the new Controller and camera set up. The only Social feature I like is the easy streaming/viewing of gameplay video.
The only games I'm interested in are Knack, whatever that thing that MM showed off was and The Witness (but I will probably be able to get that on PC) and none of those are system sellers for me.

ohhaime commented on Talking Point: What PS4 Games Will Be Announce...:

I'm trying to think of a game that would make me want to run and buy a PS4 and other then a new Monster Hunter game(which doesn't look too likely) I don't think there is one.
I'd like to see a new Ratchet & Clank,Crash Bandicoot,Ape Escape or Jet Moto games and it wouldn't be a Playstation if it didn't a have new Gran Turismo.
A new Tomba would blow my mind but that's not gonna happen. A new Patapon game would be great too but that's more likely on Vita.

ohhaime commented on First Velocity Ultra Footage Looks Unsurprisin...:

I think I prefer the retro graphics of the original. But since I got the Mini version free from PS+ and have always wanted to pay for it because it's so good I will probably buy this for the trophies and leader-boards.

ohhaime commented on Patapon 3 Marches to the PS Vita's Beat Next Week:

Praise be the grand and merciful Sony lords that finally made this happen! I've recently been seriously considering buy a PSP mostly just to play this game(and a few imports)

@ThreadShadow
I know it's not full Vita support but you can play it on the Vita if you sideload it from a PS3 (and maybe a PC, I not 100% sure but I would think you can)

@goldgin MH4 Hasn't been announced for the West yet but the Japanese version is going to have online.

And yeah no online play for MH3U on 3DS does hurt it, but that's what the Wii U version is for.(I'll be buying both since they can share the same save )

@goldgin Monster Hunter 4 on 3DS is going to have Online Multiplayer just so you know.
Also MH3U has 4 more weapon types and about 3 times as many monsters as Tri so don't write it off just because you have Tri, it's pretty much a whole new game rather then just an expansion.

ohhaime commented on Rumour: Sony Ditching the DualShock for PlaySt...:

While I do love the Dualshock design and would hope they do like Nintendo and keep it as a Classic/Pro controller option, I don't think I would be too upset if the new controller was a cross between a DS3 and a Vita as long as it doesn't use the terrible "Super Oval" of the Vita because it hurts my wrists.

ohhaime commented on Rumour: Monster Hunter 4 Is Clawing Its Way on...:

I'm not sure if this would really help Vita sales that much, Most people who would buy a system because of monster hunter probably already have a 3DS because of Tri G. If they already have a 3DS they might just get it for that rather then buy a new System.
Assuming they would be even in terms of features and graphics I would probably buy the 3DS version if given a choice. Because ..
While the Vita would have proper dual stick controls I will already be used to playing Tri G on 3DS anyway.
Also this is the kind of game I would like to have a downloaded copy of so it's always there.And with the Vita's expensive storage I would rather download it for 3DS.
What the Vita really needs is an Exclusive Monster Hunter game,Bring on Portable 4th !

ohhaime commented on Sony Bets the Bank on 4K Technology at CES:

I don't care about 4K (although I haven't see it myself yet), I still don't have a 1080P TV and I don't really feel like it would be a worthwhile upgrade. My 720P TV still gets the job done fine, I can't imagine 4K would make much of a difference if you're just casually watching.
I agree with nathanuc1988, OLED is the next screen technology I'm looking forward to.I love my Vita's screen and the vivid colors and great response time are something I would like in my next TV or PC Monitor.

ohhaime commented on Talking Point: What Went Wrong with PlayStatio...:

I think it's because the game is mediocre at best.I won the game from the Twitter contest,and I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it.

The single player modes are so easy that's it's insulting.The complete lack of challenge make them pretty much throw away. I was able to beat the arcade mode on the hardest difficulty with Toro the very first time I started the game and I only lost the first match once when I didn't know what his moves were.

All the characters feels too slow to me and all the combos are too simple with most move knocking enemies out of your reach not allowing you to follow up.

There is hardly any semblance of balance between the characters in terms of Speed,AP generation and Super Attacks.Most characters don't even have their own Supers balanced.Most Level 3 attacks are useless. Some characters have level one or two supers that can potentially clear a whole screen and some can barely hit one foot in front of them.

The scoring system rewards playing recklessly without caring if you die as long as you get a kill.

The fact that there is no cross-save really annoys me. Why give both versions of the game if you have to choose between them?(EDIT: It turns out it does have cross save.)

And I don't know if anyone else has this problem but every time I tried to play online on my PS3(which has a wired connection) the lag has made it unplayable.But when I play on my Vita (wirelessly of course) it is usually not great but playable.

In my opinion this game is only for people who are big enough fans of the characters to over look the gameplay that at best I would called flawed.

ohhaime commented on Sony Patents Bizarre Break Apart DualShock Con...:

@rjejr The drawing show three different way they might be attached.
one shows a peg and hole system, another shows a dovetail sliding system and another shows a thing that I'm not sure what it's called but you basically put two hooks into slots then twist to lock them in place.

ohhaime commented on Sony Patents Bizarre Break Apart DualShock Con...:

I really like this idea looking at it from the point of buying extra controllers. It seems like it could be somewhat cost effective if it wasn't priced much higher then a DS3.
You would only need one controller that could act as a dual shock, A Move & Nav or as two Moves.

It does look like it might be a feel unbalanced when broken apart though.It would probably be tough to get the weight distributed right.

ohhaime commented on Sony Counting Down to Christmas with PSN Deals:

I guess I haven't been keeping track, I honestly didn't know December first was tomorrow until I read this.

I would be complaining about there being nothing announced for NA but they still have enough good will with me from giving out Gravity Rush And Wipeout to keep me happy for a long time.

ohhaime commented on Start a Special Journey with Travel Bug on Pla...:

@get2sammyb
No I have a WiFi version.It has crazy accurate location finding by Wifi and Near usually finds a good number of people near by me but none of them seem to play anything that use Near.
I guess the idea is that your supposed to take your vita to other places and find people playing games that you are but I don't go that many places and even then I don't like taking my Vita with me out of fear of it being damaged or stolen. I have the same problem with Streetpass on my 3DS. I suppose these things are good ideas for other people that aren't me.

ohhaime commented on Talking Point: Does the PS4 Need to Do More Th...:

PC's always have better processors and prettier pictures so power is never really a selling point for consoles to me.
I won't want to buy a PS4 just because it can render twice as many rubber ducks as a PS3. Games like Journey and The Unfinished Swan were not made because the PS3 was the only thing that had the hardware to run them. The thing that should sell consoles is new experiences. LBP could have been made for PCs with more power and memory then a PS3 but it wasn't. More powerful processors alone do not make new experiences.

I think if Sony doesn't include some kind of touch screen with their next system they will be at a big disadvantage.Because of smartphones and tablets everyone expects things to have touch screens now.I predict that with Windows 8 all laptops will have touch screens as a standard by next year. After that anything without a touch screen for input will start to look like a rotary telephone.

ohhaime commented on PS Plus Subscribers Secure Free Copy of Batman...:

That's great for anyone in EU that hasn't played Arkham City yet. That's actually the game that got me to buy a PS3, I didn't want to wait a month for the PC release so I went out and bought a PS3.

If any of these makes it over to NA I hope it's Knytt,I loved the PC game but I'm in "Spend no Money" mode until I can afford a Wii U so Plus is going to be my only source of new games for a while.

ohhaime commented on Review: Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault ...:

I love R&C so I will definitely be getting this some day. I would buy it right away but I still have too many games from PS+ to play and I'm a bit hesitant to buy any game that's not on sale now for fear they will be discounted a few weeks later.

ohhaime commented on Review: PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (P...:

I still think I'll wait for a sale or PS+ before I get this, But hearing it has the option for Stock matches goes a long way towards making me want to buy it.

How's the character balance? I know it will almost absolutely be tweaked with patches later on but how is it right now?

And is there an option to mute all voice chat?I hate games that don't include this and force me to listen to mouth breathers, crying babies and people having conversations with their family.Especially on the Vita because I don't think most people even know how to turn off their mics.(Hold the PS button and check the box,please I'm begging you.)

ohhaime commented on PlayStation Vita Firmware Update v2.00 Availab...:

It's nice to be able to back up my vita saves, But to bad Mobile game game saves can't be backed up. Also is it just me or does auto-uploading saves not work? My trophies auto-synced over night but ticking the auto-upload box in the content manger doesn't seem to stick.
And the time stamps on saves are backwards when you download a save,very confusing.

I think they improved the store too. When I re-downloaded the AR soccer/football game it downloaded the latest version update with it.And I don't remember the transaction management options being there before.

and there is now a place to update PSMobile runtime in the system options in the settings. Currently it just downloads ver.1.00

ohhaime commented on Sony Deals Uncharted: Fight for Fortune onto V...:

I've never been into Uncharted before, But this looks mildly interesting to me. And might even give me more incentive to find all the collectibles and get the trophies( which also power up cards) in Golden Abyss.

Also if anyone is wondering there will be a free demo and there is a single player mode with about 8 hours of gameplay.
