    Was winning 5-0 in FIFA and in the 90minute the bloody thing disconnects :mad:

    Will the vita be getting FIFA 13 this year do ye think?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,721 ✭✭✭Otacon


    I could certainly see FIFA 13 on the Vita, possibly with crossplay too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,999 ✭✭✭Nerdkiller1991


    Just bought Resistance Retribution. Can't wait to take this baby online, dual analouges and all.

    Always happens for me with FIFA on Vita, I can't ever finish a game which is frustrating as I want the trophies from it.

    yeah I'm still around, just not as often the last week, assignments and study for end of year took priority. If you ever fancy a few games lemme know and I'll gladly give yah a bash at it

    The Playstation Suite Beta is now open. Link.

    I posted a thread on the Android forum to discuss it [as it will work on the Vita and PS certified Android phones.

    Excited to see what comes out of this.

    Hoping Sony has an extensive process of determining wether an app is worth it or not so as we're not filled with rubbish like how the android marketplace / iOS app store is. Otherwise I look forward to the possibilities, especially if they allow emulators (which I highly highly doubt)

    I hope the system is as open as possible. You may end up with a few more rubbish apps, however, you will also get more powerful applications built as they can free to use more of the systems resources. Also, homebrewers will have an avenue to pursue their aims while not needing to have the device cracked completely.

    I agree that openness without the use of a cracked device would be amazing, especially for homebrewers as the cracked community has shown that it is strong (there are still cfw's coming out for the psp), but the apps I'm hoping to not see is "X-ray scanner" or even "99 sexual positions" et al as they're just useless IMO.

    I guess all we can do is wait, I'll download the beta and check it out but only time will tell if we are given quality over quantity.

    Also if this leads to the introduction of YouTube/Netflix etc on the PSV then yay! Or even older games such as snake! (yes I would play snake on my vita, and I would love every moment of it)

    Netflix is already out on vita in the US. Why the fück isn't it out here?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 804 ✭✭✭EJ22

    Didn't know that! Ok well now that I know I'm gonna go out on a limb and think it would be something to do with the distribution of copyrighted material in Europe and/or coming to an agreement with SCEE to distribute the content through an app. SCEE are horrible at getting releases at the same time as SCEA


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,747 ✭✭✭✭wes


    You can get Netflix working on your European Vita with a work around. I got it working on mine. Just google for the work around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 804 ✭✭✭EJ22


    Some details emerging about the type of apps that will be allowed through the Playstation Suite

    "completely free/ad-supported apps will not be allowed on the service, and that "development will be limited to paid (including freemiun [sic]) content." In-game/in-app microtransaction functionality will be added to the SDK at a later date during the beta."

    no indication so far as to how much apps will cost through this service

    For those of you who have bought Resistance Retribution can you give me some feedback on how it plays?... And is the only any good at all?... Is it a must buy or should I avoid?.. Only have a 4GB card atm..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,987 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Not allowing ad-supported games is a big mistake imo, If they're not doing that I at least hope they'll allow them to publish demo versions.

    Disgea out today :D and resistance retribution is well good. Only problem I can recall is the occasional frame rate drop, but that was on the PSP, it may run better on the vita.

    It is a very good third person shooter with decent graphics. The only issue in my mind is the control scheme. Instead of a reticle, you move around a large rectangular box [depends on the difficulty setting] which will allow you to auto-aim at whatever is inside it.

    This was put in to compensate for the fact that on the PSP, you use the face buttons to look around. With two analogues, it just seems redundant and imprecise. Just a nitpick, not a game breaker at all.

    If you like the story in the series, pick it up.

    Multiplayer ain't too bad either, although I do have to criticise the lag at times (though the auto aim actually compensates for that) and there being only 5 maps to offer. I'm not looking too forward to Burning Skies though, as this time, there's only 3 game modes to offer, add to that the whole online pass thing and most likely matchmaking only for game searching (like R3 before it).

    I would see if there's a demo on ps3 or watch some videos first before buying it, disgaea is definitely not for everyone

    would you not have got a better price from hmv? u know with your staff discount


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    It's 45 in HMV - discount = 40.50
    40 in symths - discount = 36 euro :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,228 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Damn I paid €45 in Gamestop, Smyths in Jervis didn't have it and neither did HMV in Henry Street. Bloody Gamestop and their high mark ups.:mad:

    You know what is the worst thing,I don't want the damn game now,think I will put it up for swap or just return it tomorrow. I want to finish part 1 and 2 first.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    May as well keep it mightn't you? Otherwise you'll just rebuy it later.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    Is disgea good? What is it like? Do you need to play 1 and 2 first?

    Around 10 more days for mortal kombat!!! Come on!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    I haven't played a disgea game before, I'm enjoying it.

    I wouldn't think it is too important to play the previous games in the series but for me I want to know the story and as I got part one on the PSN cheap I am going to play through them first before I go near number three. It will also give me the chance to get used to the in game system.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    Very much doubt you'll get you'll get your 268 back for it, they're selling on adverts (vita, fifa, and 8gb card) for less than 220 now.

    In other news, Vita sales in Japan fall below 10,000

    I splashed and got one yesterday. For a WiFi Vita, Uncharted and 4gig card, i had to trade a Wii, Wii Fit Plus + Board, Mario Kart Wii + Wheel, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Motion Plus, NSMB Wii, DKC Returns, Original White PSP, Ape Academy, Locoroco 2, Black DSi and Dark Souls Limited Edition (360), plus €40.

    Anyway, i'm impressed. I've only played Uncharted a small bit, but it does look fantastic (rightly enjoying the photo part!). UI is beautiful, so smooth and well presented. Browser is crazy good, way better than the PS3 one (why is that still crap?!). Just as good as my Tablet S (maybe quicker :eek: ).

    However, the thing that has me most are the AR games. They are really good, and the things running through my head as to how this will evolve, i'm really excited!

    Bit disappointed by the prices of the majority of stuff though. I won't have a very big collection any time soon, and by god does the card fill up quick! Time to start deleting already!!! Extremely shitty that they developed their own card systems, the prices are stupid high, but hopefully someone will have an adapter soon enough...

    Any free downloads i should know about? I think i have everything that's free so far, and am tempted to get the 3 month Plus subscription as i get at least 6 games for the same price that are currently available.

    no harm in walking down to gamespot tomorrow to see


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    Yeah :) if you're looking for credit, your laughing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,068 ✭✭✭Tipsy McSwagger


    3DS only came good after a big price drop and 3D Mario & Mario Kart. Having no second analogue stick is shocking tbh. The Vita only needs monster hunter for the Japanese and call of duty for the rest of us for massive sales.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,016 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    gravity rush game will save it : )

  • Registered Users Posts: 450 ✭✭Det Somerset


    Skype app for Vita confirmed for tomorrow's update. Probably won't use it myself, but I know many others on here have been waiting for this addition.
