PSVita Discussion

Anyone got one yet? I got mine today.

I got Uncharted, Modnation and UMVC3, with Escape Plan and Motorstorm RC on PSN. While I love all of them, I struggle to see how anybody can top Uncharted for now.

The only issues, are that it's a bit too big, and the battery is a bit too short, but everything else is amazing.

OHRIGHTTHAT'STODAY

Guess I'm not taking the bus today.

Hoping to get Gravity Rush and possibly Ragnarok Odyssey. But neither are out yet. :c

*leaves to get it*

PSVita....?

OH, I don't want it.

Now I've had it for a bit, I think I prefer the graphics of UMVC3 over Uncharted, they just look so awesome!

It certainly looks nice, but I'm not terribly interested in getting one. Maybe sometime in the future, but not now. Also, I'm still not sure if I'll want to get a 3DS or not, and I don't have the money to buy both.

Out of 3DS and Vita, I'd get a Vita if you get the money. It is literally like carrying a PS3 in your pocket.

Well, the PS3 is my current console of choice. But then again, I've always had a special place in my heart for Nintendo, and the 3DS does have some games I would like to get.

It's tricky, I do enjoy my 3DS, but I just think the software line up is stronger than the 3DS. Plus if you look at the upcoming line up for Vita it's insane the amount of games coming to the console. Bioshock, COD, Killzone, LBP, MGS HD, Street Fighter X Tekken, Tales of Innocence, Assassin's Creed, there's so much support.

Indeed. I'll wait and see what happens for both. Hopefully by year's end, I can make a decision.

Anybody else having trouble with Escape Plan? It froze my Vita twice, I'm redownloading now.

Well I got it.

And now here comes my mini-review:
-The touch controls are very nice. The fact that they are the only controls available outside of games is not. You can't use any of the face-buttons or the control sticks in the browser, maps, system settings, nothing. I don't like this at all. I find it convenient to be able to cancel with the circle button or select with the X or things like that, but now it doesn't do that.
-Display is gorgeous. Cameras are very nice. Placement of the face camera is irksome because you can't look at the screen and the camera at the same time, like you can with the 3DS.
-Tutorials are fun and challenging. I might have to play the skateboarding one a lot until a legit game comes out that I want.
-Memory Cards are highway robbery. It's 25 bucks for a 4GB card. 4GB flashdrives cost 7 bucks nowadays. 4GB SD cards are like 15 at most. Ended up getting the 35 dollar 8GB card because I'd rather get double the storage for an extra ten bucks while not quite getting robbed of all my money.
-Incompatibility with PSP games sucks. I know they had to cut corners somewhere, but the fact that I have to keep my PSP-3000 to play games like Dissidia and Project: Miku seems stupid. They should figure out a way to allow redownload of games that you already own onto a PSV so you don't need both systems to play all your games and you don't need to spend another 20 bucks on re-buying the game.
-They have an anime section in the PlayStation Store. AN ANIME SECTION. WITH LIKE ALMOST EVERY ANIME I'VE SEEN/HEARD OF DUBBED. Granted, it's 2 bucks an episode and they're dubbed, but a cool fact nonetheless. I could probably just put my own anime onto the memory card though.
-The launch titles list, while not as abysmal as the 3DS list was a year ago, is still pretty bad for the US and other territories outside of Japan. Well over half the games already out in Japan have another couple months before they're released elsewhere, while the system came out two weeks after the Japanese release. I WANT MY GRAVITY RUSH GODDANGIT.

Thus concludes my mini-review.
