PSVita megathread

not confirmed for eu though

ghostchant · 03-05-2012 10:51pm

Surely it was confirmed for the EU, isn't that statement above from wednesday's PS store heads up on the EU blog? Disgaea went up on the PSN on the Friday, on the day of physical release. It should be the same for MK.

Sorry I thought you were talking about a psn release of MK. I'll be importing P4:G from the states, I did that with most PSP RPGs, and still do, with Gungnir and Growlanser heading for the states.

Anyway it'll almost certainly get an EU release, didn't Ghostlight bring over P3P and Persona 2 part 1? Would be shocked if they weren't planning on bringing this over.

EJ22 · 04-05-2012 1:16am

As of 1:16AM, Mortal Kombat is on the EU PSN Store

civilnug · 04-05-2012 8:14am

Yup, got up this morning and set it to downloading. Should be online with it after lunch/work (early finish Friday!) if anyone wants a game (PSN: civilnug).

MK that is!

ShadowHearth · 04-05-2012 11:51am

Just back from work, set it to download. 3h.... FFs psn is shiet today.

Is a tough game?

cloud493 · 04-05-2012 1:50pm

it can be, but its also easy to level up, doesn't feel like grinding.

super_furry · 04-05-2012 2:42pm

Mortal Kombat is so good. The best single-player fighting game ever made.

ShadowHearth · 04-05-2012 4:13pm

Well just had a go at mk. It is really way worse looking then console one. It uses console gameplay as cutscenes in story modes. Now backgrounds still look awesOme, but damn character models are crap.
Though it's not all lost. You really notice it only in the end of fights, when you get close in. When you just play, you won't notice lower graphics at all. And yes, it looks way better on vita then all the gameplay vidoes make it out on YouTube.
For 39.99 its way better palace then mvc 3. Story mode, challenge towers, unlockables etc... Way more fun!

just played mk first impressions..........oh jesus the graphics are ****e but the gameplay seems awesome as shadowhearth just said graphics look terrible during cutscenes and up close during the fights its pretty smooth its definetly gonna be fun and that challenge mode.....talk about just one more go.:D

Helix · 04-05-2012 5:01pm

There's nothing wrong with the graphics at all lads... You're crazy! Sure the models look a bit iffy when it comes to detail textures but the thing that matters is that it looks perfectly good while actually fighting and runs at 60fps

a bit iffy graphics, does not make a game bad. Its just a warning to those, who might get a bit bitchy about downgrade graphics.
in my opinion its an awesome value packadge for 40 quid.

i think anyone who would moan that the graphics aren't as good as they are on the ps3 deserves a kick in the rear anyway

I wouldn't really be a beatem up fan but I had to get MK for the vita, pretty impressed so far cant fault the graphics either. The download is 3gb due to all the cut scenes which is the only minus as I am getting tight for space on the 16gb memory card.

Thanks for that bit of info. I'll definitely prefer getting in physical form now.

Probably not. Japan doesn't like giving away their alt-colour stuff.

Bought Ninja Gaiden (on PSN, After looking loads of places and not being able to get it) and it's REALLY difficult

, even on Ninja Dog mode which you get for dying a lot..

So I just played more MHFU (Damn you MH!) ;L

Wolverine359 · 08-05-2012 3:16pm

I'd say the white version will be released here eventually, the one with the back-printing will definitely be a Japanese exclusive. Haven't got a vita yet but if the white one comes out here I'd be seriously tempted, it looks sweet! :pac:

Lack of games? I have had the thing for two months and have 8 cartridge games, 10 PSP games and 6 PSN games. Not a poor choice in the lot either.

cloud493 · 08-05-2012 4:24pm

In fairness, their does seem to be a somewhat drought of games. I'm happy with the ones I got, I got 5 physical, 3 on a memory card, but still :pac: still, resistance and metal gear soon.

animaX · 08-05-2012 6:37pm

I don't think any console has ever had as much content at launch than the vita did. My biggest issue is that the store is not organised enough - there should be a "most popular" section in the ps minis for example, or "most downloaded" etc.

Also, for anyone who hasn't played it, metal gear peace walker is brilliant on vita. I'm at 50 hours and there's still plenty more in it!

EJ22 · 08-05-2012 6:51pm

Tbh the biggest issue that the vita has had from launch is a lack of "franchise titles" that mainstream gamers would know of. The following is a list of series that were missing from launch (not including PSP versions)

Call of Duty
Tekken (Although we got the excellent MvC3 and MK instead)
Gran Turisimo
Grand Theft Auto
Killzone
Final Fantasy
Metal Gear Solid

These titles,and more, have a huge fanbase which can be tapped into. I believe come E3, you'll see at information about half of these at a minimum with regards to the Vita.

This post-launch slum of games (as such) is almost the exact same thing that happened to the nintendo 3ds, as that launched without a proper mario game, mario kart etc.

In the Vita's defense, however, is that almost all the games that has been released have been of a steller quality, and the rest have been in the very good range. The titles available are all enjoyable to play, which is very rare for any console launch. If sony/the publishers keep this quality of gaming up with future releases, then the Vita will forget this slump its currently in. Come E3, with annoucements and probably a price drop in the console, I can see the slump ending very quickly

ShaneU · 08-05-2012 7:02pm

Call of Duty vita is confirmed to be coming out this year so that will spark sales in the US. Japan needs a Monster Hunter game or an rpg like the Tales series.

Personally I haven't bought a game since launch, I have Uncharted, Wipeout, Stardust and Mutant Blob. All the others I've been waiting for the price to drop to around £10, which just hasn't happened at all, they're holding their value much longer than 360 and PS3 games for some reason. I'd like to play Mortal Kombat for example but don't want to pay €40 for a game I've already finished on PS3. I'm buying Gravity Rush as soon as its released though.

More games are released on the 360 and PS3 but as Vita games are not coming as quickly as either of those systems the launch games are holding their price as they're still the games that are being bought.

I played it last summer so it might have changed since then but at that time they had the cover system built in to use the "Tilt" in the Vita. So you would tilt it back to duck behind something then tilt forward to pop up and shoot.

The touch screen was used for your firemans axe, and you could lock onto targets. So for example if you had the bulleye you could tap the target on screen and then press shoot. Or with a rocket launcher you could pick 3 or 4 targets on screen then let off a stream of rockets to take them all out.

But yea its frickin awesome.
