Love this game. Simplified mechanics make it easier to get newcomers into the game. Ill be emailing VooFoo for some updates on as hadlee73 stated, removing the visual aids and even the hud itself. Id also like to be able to view my shot from all angles like Hustle Kings. Custom soundtracks too but I know that is a systemwide feature. Get that done Sony!
@rastamadeus has worked for me since launch in every way. Works even on my Vita. Games updates etc.. You may want to look into further by checking your account, resetting or possibly tech support.
Conspiracy time! Sony has a master plan that involves some of their best and brightest to mysteriously sever ties and migrate to other companies and studios in order to infiltrate, divide and conquer! These so called lost talents are now AGENTS in this grand scheme that Sony has implemented. Operation KRSHNBRN is a go!
Either Sony has moved on and will rarely push a AAA Vita title or they are hiding a couple of big guns somewhere. I hope for the latter. Either way I enjoy the system. I use remote play enough to enjoy AAA games so I will survive. One thing I would like would be if the Vita itself could function as a PlayStation TV so I don't have to buy another device. I don't see pushing the Remote Play to a WiFi TV as too difficult a task. I'll admit, I haven't looked into the technical aspect of this but it would be nice.
Also, some of these games are worthy and Vita has an extensive library so Sony needs to change the perception of this little marvel. The big franchises will eventually come.
Seriously though, If TLG doesn't show up at E3 many will be disappointed and scream failure. Which could actually create buzz. It will be negative buzz but buzz nonetheless. I don't expect it at E3. TGS is the proper venue for this game. By that time most will have given up on the game and the re-reveal would cause a maelstrom of internet activity.
Am I the only one that wants to get completely blindsided by Sony with games that have NEVER been leaked mentioned or referred to whatsoever? In my ideal E3 we get all of the above AND 1 totally brand new super secret AAA game for each platform. 1 for the PS3, 1 for the PSVita and 1 for the PS4. New IP. In other words a total surprise. Sony has been pretty good lately containing leaks but could it be possibly that they are true wizards at it to pull off such a masterful plan?
There is no immediate need for a price cut. Bundles and incentives are the way to go. That said, IF Sony did lower the price of the PS4 I would see it as a take no prisoners, go for the jugular type of move. Imagine lowering to $379.99. Only a slight cut AND include a one month Plus Sub, a Month of Music Unlimited and maybe even a $10 PSStore voucher. The same that was included on launch units. Moves such as these would put Sony in what I call Dragon Mode. Breathing fire on the competition.
PS Announce Uncharted 4, God of War 4 The Last Guardian, Heavenly Sword 2 and a spanking New Crash all with Morpheus support and the internet would BURN!!!
@bbq_boy They have done Free TV first episode giveaways before.
I have always said that they should include a movie rental once a month and throw in some Music Unlimited access as well. That would be quite an incentive for Plus and also advertise Sonys Music and Video services.
Imagine if Sony created a AAA game that is ONLY available thru PSPlus. A TRUE EXCLUSIVE to the service. It would of course have to be something for everyone. Something that could possibly even go viral. Sounds crazy but it would give Plus another incentive to subscribers.
I can't wait. I am waiting for Video Games to bend my mind the way I know they truly can an eventually will someday so the more time it takes to get closer to that wish then so be it.
This can become a Killer App if handled properly. Especially with how popular Music shows have become. ABC is creating a new Music/Singing Show/Contest RISING STAR which allows the audience and viewers to vote on the contestants. It would be very lucrative if Sony would align the PS4 with such a series. The proof is in the pudding... well the name is already there anyway as in.. SINGSTAR.. RI-SING STAR.. Get to it Sony!!!! Opportunity knocks! !!! Hurry!!!
In regards to the article. Mesa would do well to NOT make such negative statements unless it is absolutely official from Sony that they are straying from AAA on the Vita. I can't imagine how many will read such words and simply NOT buy a Vita. Counter - productivity at its best. It's like saying the Vitas days are numbered. Wtf?
I Love my Vita! Completely satisfied. But if Sony did what we ask it would get so much more support. The library would/could expand exponentially if the attention grabbing games were to come out for this amazing device. Not to mention other productivity apps that can be easily made available. Just open the floodgates Sony. Let the Vita LIVE!
@DaftPlayStation It came out as GOD but I meant to write GOW as in God Of War. Not remakes. Not ports. A true Vita God Of War exclusive. COD was attempted and failed miserably. It was so terrible that I almost consider it sabotage by Activision via the Microsoft partnership. Imagine if the Vita Call Of Duty had Cross play and other features not available on MS platforms. Most would have purchased the Vita and PS3 combination. MS just couldn't allow that. KZ:M proves that a portable FPS can be done.
PS imagine if Sony was in the money as is MS. I shudder to think what they would come out with with such a huge amount of cash. A shame that is currently not the case. But I think they are doing exceptionally well with the little they do have.
A few strategic AAA releases is all It will take. Even 1 or 2 big names a year will help carry all the other games on the Vita. Imagine a proper GTA, GOD even an infamous title on the VITA. Those would definitely push the VITA to where it should be.
If I were a (DIRTY) participant in this console war I would create the most impossible/improbable E3 leak imaginable. This would bring expectations to an astronomical level. A tactic such as this would definitely set the competitions consumers base up for a drastic letdown. But none of the players would do something like this. Would they?
Dead service is just wrong. It will work. It DOES work. I even tried the service via wifi and it worked well enough. For a Beta it works much better than I anticipated. Netflix had the same exact growing pains and now the service is almost flawless. This is an ingenuous venture for Sony. The biggest factor will be pricing and advertising. Sony must show what the service is and how it may benefit those who may be interested. Servers will continue to be added and the internet will eventually catch up so I don't know why so many are against this. By that reasoning it seems they want the Internet to be perfect first and THEN Sony should launch Now? Growth will happen based on need. Why wait?
Sony is a great games provider. Anyone doubting that is just a hater. But Games are not what it's all about anymore. Consumers want entertainment in all shapes forms and fashions. This is why these companies are all over the place. Sony portraying the focus on games was an intelligent decision. Very strategic. All the time knowing they will introduce multimedia features and apps.
Looking forward to 1.70 but can't wait for 2.0 and beyond. I want my 4 to do everything that my 3 can do and more. When that happens I'll I'll download that song and play it proudly.. "Anything you can do I can do better!" So my PlayStations a can argue back and forth.. "No you can't...! Yes I can! "
Okay! I am going to push Sony and VooFoo real hard on what I feel can become a lucrative venture for both. I wonder why they haven't done it before but no better time to start than with a New Game at the beginning of a New Generation. I enjoyed the different settings and chess pieces so I suggested that they create Chess Sets themed after popular franchises years ago. I would love to have a Metal Gear themed set. A God of War Set. Uncharted. LBP. They could even go so far as a Marvel or DC Chess set. It goes on and on. Zen Pinball Style.
These are long requested features. I'd rather they do a survey for more compelling apps or functionality. The Vita has an Email App, a Calendar App now as well. Id Love to have those on the PS4 and PS3. These would come in handy sometimes when I don't want to turn on my PC, laptop or cell phone. Just press the PS button and it's a wrap.
Skype would be good as well but MS may block or delay that. Another option could be Google Hangouts. Video Conferencing for up to 8 people. Maybe that is what they meant. Even Facebook now has video conferencing. Do it Sony!!
They should rework TitanFall and instead of Mechs players can summon a Monster or Creature that they can posses. Chaos Ensues.
Also, if TitanFall does come to the PS4 I am against it being called TitanFall 2. I'd rather it have a subtitle instead. TitanFall: Anarchy or something to that effect. Anarchy as in.. 32-64 players.. Larger Mechs.. More devastation, destruction, realism and story..
If Kojima releases a companion app for phones then it must be available on the Vita too! I will have to call him and give a peace of my mind if he fails this mission.
I'm sure it will as it will certainly show that Sony hasn't forgotten about the Vita. It can spark interest in purchasing a Vita and give potential MGSVGZs buyers an incentive to get the PS4 version versus another platform. I can see the marketing now. Get the "COMPLETE" Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zero experience ONLY on PS4 and PlayStation Vita.
@Savino Why would the Sony VR headset be locked to the PS4? Making it work with other devices is only a matter of Sony allowing it to do so. To my understanding it is a standalone product that could potentially work with any vidoe input.
Cozomel is only 2 hours old. Astro??? I'm finding many similar comments on various sites structured almost the same way as his. And when I look at the comment history they are only a few hours old. I wonder how much astroturfing pays?

@ThreadShadow Well, they supposedly now have Uncharted 3 free for ALL on the PStore. Just before E3 too! Smart move Sony!
