I have never played a Rayman game. Which is better Origins or Legends?

Both great. You might as well start with Origins since its the first of the two. Then get Legends once you decide you love Rayman.

So I've just completed Little Big Planet Vita. I was never a big fan of the series but the touch controls really added to this one. Music and graphics also superb.

So far I've completed more games on vita in the past couple of months than I have in the last couple of years on a console.

Uncharted
Resistance
Gravity rush
And now...
LBP

To finish 4 games for me is not normal. I usually get a quarter in a get bored but the handiness of being able to put the vita on standby is definately helping.

If had to give an order of 1 - 4.. 1 being best.

1. Gravity Rush
2. LBP
3. Uncharted
4. Resistance

What next...

Ps.. Longest credits EVER!!! Still rolling 10 mins after completion!!!

FF8 on PS store. I'm addicted, 25 hours in and not even half way through. It's amazing.

murphyebass · 09-11-2013 10:44am

Just purchased my first ps1 game for Vita. It's a game I only played about 10% of when I was a kid due to fifa and wwf games. So seen as though I have the HD collection waiting in line I thought I better start with the first one which isn't on the HD collection for some annoying reason.

Metal Gear Solid.

Snake, Snake, Snaaaaaaaaaaake!!!!!

Ps..Just remembered it wasn't my first ps1 purchase as i forgot i bought mickeys wild adventure a month or so ago.

Is it possible to have content from two owners on a single vita?

Have content there and be used or just have it there without the Vita deleting it it when another account is used?

There's only 1 account possible on a Vita at a time so if you have multiple account you can only use 1 and the content from that 1.

If you have multiple memory cards you could set 1 for each account and when you want to change you'd need to sign online with the next account to be able to play them.

When are the next free games coming out on PS +?

MitchKoobski · 09-11-2013 7:51pm

27th November I assume, what with the PS4 coming out the 29th.

shreddedloops · 11-11-2013 11:03am

Finally got myself a Vita and have been playing Killzone for the last couple of days.

Wow. What a game for a handheld. Only wish there were more full featured titles like it. Looking forward to trying Uncharted when Im finished (can't fit them both on a 8GB card).

Are there any must have RPGs?

Keep an eye on the PS Store as there are always a couple of PSP RPGs on sale every month. Got Growlanser: Wayfarer of time for €9 this month and Trails in the Sky for €12 a few months back.

I've read so much praise for that without even considering it. Was never into JRPGS, although Ni No Kuni caught my interest.

After reading a little more about it I think I may have to pick it up soon. Could be the perfect game to pop in and out of.

wilser · 11-11-2013 12:46pm

Argos have an 8 gig memory card for €20 atm. Think it's a good price
Edit: they also have a 16 gig for €33

They said that there are currently no plans to replace these games, they haven't really given a reason why they aren't

Tearaway is €25 on psn right now for pre order. Does anyone think this will go up once it's released next week

Its been for sale for £19.99 on Amazon for a while now. Doubt the price will go up after release.

cloud493 · 14-11-2013 7:39pm

30 quid for it in symths isnt bad. Think I'l snatch that.

Darwin · 14-11-2013 8:18pm

I gather Smyths or Xtra-vision are the best places to trade in games. Can I expect to get anything decent for LBP (Vita) for Tearaway?

Seen it in the argos x-mas catalogue for €26/27 if it helps

Bought a Vita TV in Japan at the weekend. Can't try it yet as it's a Xmas gift but it's a very neat bit of kit. Hopefully it will work ok. Info on the web was a bit contradictory but I think it should work from Vita cards here - just not on the PSN.

For anyone who is still sitting on the fence get the hell off the fence and buy one, you wont be dissapointed.

Seriously it is an amazing bit of kit in particular for that price.

On a side note I cant wait for tearaway. Looks class.

I got my Vita from play 2 weeks ago, had to use Parcel Motel to get it as they wouldn't ship it to Ireland. Got here pretty quick all the same.

Damien360 · 18-11-2013 8:24pm

decided to take the plunge, registered for play.com but just realised the deal above is only for saver points and cannot be purchased. Tried every which way but it is like a savings club on purchases for play.com

Play.com want silly money for VITA
smyths are €200 for just vita
amazon want €240 for vita with 16gb card
xtravision want €200 with no card
argos are €230 with no card
gamestop €200 no card
Game uk £190 sterling with 16gb card

Am I missing anyone with a better price ?

Out of stock and I was told not likely to return

6 Disney games with 16gb card seems to be latest multi pack deal for €200 in smyths

DeSelby83 · 19-11-2013 10:26am

Been thinking of getting a new vita game, toss up between little big planet, killzone or tearaway tomorrow? Any recommendations from those 3

_Puma_ · 19-11-2013 10:33am

Finally got my 32GB Vita Memory card from Amozon.co.uk for £39.99. Had ordered it about a month ago when it just went Temporarily out of stock and still is according to the listing. I'm guessing they are working through a backlog of orders if they are sending them out without putting them back up in stock on the website.

I have only played a small part of Tearaway so I can't recommend it yet but I have read a lot of good things about it.

LBP is the best LBP title on any platform. If that is your type of game, go for it.

Killzone is the best FPS on a portable device and well worth it if that is your type of game.

TBH, they are all really good options so it comes down to personal preference.

Is there any way of knowing if that's the original OLED version?

The new version is still only available in Japan so it won't be that.

EDIT: Also just checked the link and the one on the box is the regular version.

Dave1711 · 20-11-2013 2:56am

Just bought one 2 days ago and i must say im loving it so much fun.

Playing Sly Raccoon Thieves in Time and Uncharted Golden Abyss atm

Feel free to add me Power1711 if your on vita or in the cork area

Look forward to remote play with ps4 can only do it with some ps3 games!

beercr8te · 20-11-2013 2:58am

It's a lovely little console, had since launch day

Just added you:D

CiDeRmAn · 20-11-2013 3:07am

I think its a nice piece of tech but it's games haven't really distinguished it yet, beyond a few titles.
A PSN+ account is a must though, they have given away most essential games in the system for the price of a single game, only limited by the over priced price of storage media for the system.
Wipeout is pretty amazing, particularly when you already own Wipeout Hd and Fury on the PS3 and so can download the track packs, for free, for your Vita.
I find Uncharted to be a pale imitation of the PS3 titles tbh.
Katamari is good but its the likes of Hotline Miami that makes the format essential, the indie game scene on the Vita is very very good indeed, making the machine a must have.

I'd agree with most of whats been said here tbh.

Get PS+ straight away. Great service.

Wipeout visually is stunning imo. If you want to see what the system is capable of this game shows it off in spades.

Uncharted I'm glad I'm not the only one who found it to be only ok. Dont get me wrong its not bad but its not great.

My two favourite games though so far are Gravity Rush and Little Big Planet Vita.

Gravity Rush gets a lot of bad press for its battle sequences and yes I'd agree it can be infuriating when you speed past an enemy your supposedly locked onto but if you can get past that and play it through it really is a great experience. I probably in the minority but I can not wait for Gravity Rush 2.

LBP Vita I think really utilises the Vitas touch capabilities well without them feeling gimmicky.. yes I'm looking at you uncharted with your wiping the screen every two frickin seconds to clean some pointless dusty item.
It feels natural and thats the only way it should feel. Personally I think it really makes the game.

Cant wait for Tearaway. Looking at the previews etc it looks like the LBP developers are onto a winner. Roll on this Friday for launch!!

Yep, have it preloaded now, can't wait for Friday.

Klair88 · 20-11-2013 12:34pm

Yeah im going to buy Tearaway too. Those games need to be supported more. Sickens me that Activision can make Millions off the same game for years but developers who try, and succeed, to make individual, artistic, Creative games are largely ignored.

I'll do my bit anyway!

Yeah I would buy it online but the whole not being able to sell or trade it in just annoys me.

In particular with a game like this where the campaign is only 5 hours.

Dont get me wrong I'm all about quality over quantity but if theres very little replay value I cant see me holding on to the game.

Play and sell more likely.
