I hope they aren't spending much resources or money on the game. I just can't see it performing well. Now if they did a resident evil 1-3 & code Veronica remake with 4s engine and control style THAT would warrant some major purchases.
I'd buy it for fifty bucks but that's about it. It's a shame Sony isn't going to allow the vita to play the remaining psp and PSOne games since that would be a nice selling point. Gotta get those "NOW" sales though...
Honestly, it makes me physically Ill. Sony should be embarrassed of the way they treat Vita supporters.
Youd think with the advent of the Vita TV they at least would have allowed the remaining PSP and PSOne games to be released for it. But nope. Probably planning on PS NOW ruining that anyway... Ugh. Really rough times to be a Vita owner IMHO.
I wish the review was a bit more detailed for those of us that know nothing about the game. Is there an endpoint? Are there bosses? How do the knights differentiate? Can you explain the death/rebirth system better? What happens in those difficult multi bad guy trap rooms? Are you able to come back to them later or is each death a whole new castle? How does saving and progression work?
I'm very interested in this game but know nothing about it, lol.
I find it a little troubling that there's some major blind fanboyism going on here. The purpose more than getting free games is to hold the company accountable. Why hold them accountable? So that there's a precedent for other companies consider when they chose to do a lax security system for their customers private information.
I don't even want a game out of it, I want peace of mind. But none of you "experts" know what it's like to have your private information compromised most likely. It's not fun and very time consuming
Meanwhile NA doesn't even get a release date for the new ratchet and clank collection that just came out. I can see maybe one last major first party release like infamous, but if it doesn't sell I can't see em trying again. Not unless they get a cheap engine
I thought unity meant tons of awesome cell games would show up like the nova, modern combat, and dead space games
I want to be able to play every PSP and PSOne game on this in addition to the Vita games. Vita isn't compatible with them all though so does that mean id HAVE to rebuy them on Now or something?
Or perhaps the idiots that run Sony will finally enable all these missing games? I can't stand not having many of my titles from the PSP era missing on the Vita.
Is this only a rental service?! I have almost 300 PSP/Vita/ps3/ps2/psone games between physical and digital and there's no way I'm going to spend money on expensive rentals! This is crazy and a terrible idea IMHO.
They also need to update the cloud save sizes
ALSO. Will the remaining PSP and PSOne games become playable on the Vita. Sony does NOT protect heir digital customers, remember that.
@ztpayne7 Sadly they "fixed it". I grabbed spyro 2 and crash 2 but didn't get 3 or warped up. Also have a few psp games I missed out on . Ugh. I hate that they won't address it. Either put em up or say they never will so we can stop waiting!
I'm happy with all the PS2 HD compilations, I just wish they would make them run and look a bit better.
Also want the remaining PSP and PSOne titles to be made available. I'm disappointed pushsquare didn't mention the big hiccup on the NA PSN that made everything available for a few days.
Someone needs to push Sony to make these available for good.
Maybe it will restore the psp/psone games that were pulled off the NA PSN.
Why are no major gaming sites discussing this blunder and makig a big deal about it. Spotlight should be on Sony until they restore these games or directly address why they're not on there and when/if they will be.
I love the mass effect trilogy (finally completing 3 as I type this). I personally would rather have a remix/remaster with uniform graphics and play between all three, as well as a fine tuning of missions so that the games play more similarly. I know some fans will want each game left alone, and "as is". Well rebuy the other "trilogy" set or the games by themselves. This is an opportunity to make one, concise package.
@Cloud7794 Yeah it's one of the hottest topics on different Vita boards right now. My mind was blown it finally happened. I have SO many games that I couldn't play, from the capcom/midway collections, some Lego psp games, psp mgs, spyro, crash, blood omen. This basically just doubled the life of my vita!
Why havn't you guys mentioned the HUGE NA Vita news yet?! All previously unavailable PSP and PSOne games were made available on the Vita yesterday from your download list!! Even demos!!!!
I wish there was a comprehensive review (preferably video) that details what exactly this game is and how it works. It looks awesome but I don't get it? Do I just dig and build? Are there objectives or anything? Is the item management and understanding uses of items as tedious as it looks?
I loved dementium 2 (wish we'd get an HD vita release of it...) and I loved moon. I'm going to buy Moon on the 3ds when it comes out and I'm going to buy this on the vita when it comes out. I will not contribute to a kick starter though as I don't want to lose my money or wait five years for the game to happen. The eternal darkness sequel made sure I'd never get bamboozled again.
Anytime I play an Assasins creed game I spend half the time just looking at the environments and architecture. I'd love to be able to wander around in Ancient Rome looking at stuff. They could even make a ten buck FPS of walking around the different game worlds with no other game play and I'd still get it.
This is a little misleading as they arent all even Vita games. Most are on the PSP. And Lego Indy and original Lego batman are the only two that play like the console games. It's a shame that they didnt port over they new release of Lego Star Wars Complete Series that the iPhone got and have this be the first official chance to snag it. Im dying to get that on a handheld with buttons.
Gender discussions towards video games have always been a fascinating subject to me. Personally I have never had an issue playing a game with a female protagonist. It doesn’t matter if it's Tomb Raider, Bayonetta, or even a female fighter in Mortal Kombat. I still enjoy the game and see it for exactly what it is (a means to experieince and control someone other than yourself). Having said that, Ive only ever played a game where you create your own character and created a female ONCE. I guess that may sound weird but I usually do custom characters based on one of three things: Myself, a movie/tv show/book/singer character than I like, or a stat based thing and the male character builds usually have the stronger physical stats that I like to use (warrior classes, etc).
I also wanted to add that Ive only known three female gamers in my entire life. I think it is awesome that there are girls out there who play video games and wish there was more of them. My wife in particular since she hates gaming and is terrible at it unless it's Animal Crossing. Lol.
They need to do what the Wii U didnt and that is offer these games with some kind of incentive to own beyond the basic "upgrade". Im talking collections. The NEW Assassins Creed should at least include 3, maybe 2 and it's sequels. If they put Batman Origins they need to include the other two for free. All of this with updated textures, resolution, whatever to sweeten the pot.
The biggest reason I didnt buy a Wii U is because the games on it that I want are already available for the PS3/360 and a lot cheaper. If the Wii U had both Batman games together, or the Mass Effect Trilogy, or even both Darksiders I would have bought one in a heart beat. I hope PS4 is able to really get some good deals for these alternate versions. ESPECIALLY if they cost 10-20 dollars more!
I bought every HD collection released so far and I will buy them all on the Vita when they are re-released BUT only once they hit 20. I cant afford to do them again at 40.
