Depends whether Gio has coerced them into doing more or not. I'm thinking it's pretty unlikely but I hope it's wrong.



If you mean mine, I haven't played it yet, so I can't really rate it among my favourite games :P

I was talking about the metacritic list

I wish they didn't lock the update for backers only.
True. Here it is for those without access:

Happy New Year's Everyone!

Right off the bat we have some exciting news for everyone. We've finally received a finished build for Root Double and are absolutely thrilled to show everyone how it looks. Take a look!

At this stage, we are making final preparations to submit this build to Sony. While we can't give any more details beyond that but once we've heard back from Sony we will be moving quickly to get the game ready for release. It's been a long time coming but we appreciate everyone's patience and understanding on this project. Stay tuned for more news!

I'm impressed that ys 8 is nowhere to be seen on that list

If you're referring to Metacritic's list, that's because most outlets reviewed the PS4 version. That's often a problem with Vita games. Even if the releases are identical (which isn't the case with Ys VIII, but bare with me) with no performance issues, if a review doesn't specify Vita it doesn't get added to the page.

How is Valkyrie Drive?

I mostly want it for the stupid description in the boxart, but I love the art style in this game, even I found this games to be gross

It's basically Senran Kagura only with a better combo system. And good boss fights.

I thought it was fun, but held back by the relative small size of the Vita screen and the cramped controls. Made it hard to see what was going on and what I was doing.

Just had a quick check on Amazon.jp, price of Vita consoles is about 2000 yen higher than I paid for it earlier this year. There were also no 64GB memory cards in stock from Amazon themselves so they couldn't ship overseas.

Was gonna buy an extra model, but guess not. Is this just low stock based on new year's sales or...?

Oh slay. I had the Vita version but free PS4 means an easy second Platinum.

I'm pretty sure they have a shared trophy list, though...


The Western copies have a shared list between PS4/Vita. Only the Asia and JP lists are separate among consoles.

Has anyone played Psycho Pass? Is it good?

If you're a fan of the anime it's really good! If not, it might actually be kinda boring.

I was looking for the Senran Kagura community thread. That didn't get resettled?
Haven't seen it yet. I was thinking of opening it after ERA launched, but I'm honestly no good at writing OP's. And I don't want it to have a half-assed OP.

I do like to think am good with Photoshop. So if anyone wants to write an OP and needs someone to make banners, just let me know.

I look at this list, great list by the way, and feel disappointed that the West didn't get the PSP ports of Star Ocean First Departure and Second Evolution on Vita.

Second Evolution would have definitely made my list. Funnily enough, most of the Square Enix PSP games I did actually play aren't on PSN for whatever reason.

Star Ocean 2 could've made the Vita-native list if they'd let me play it in English.

Hey kresnik, just wanted to say, I love your website

Hey, thank you very much!

Preorders have opened at Play Asia for Darkest Dungeon. I see that Shizuka mentioned the physical release earlier on.

Finally finished all of Va-11 Hall-A's endings and it was a beautiful game! I loved my time with it so much and it just felt so right on the Vita. Glad I waited, totally worth it! :D

We all see that Play-Asia email for current preorders? Under Night PS4 is up for pre-order, Vita and PS3 are coming soon.

Eeeeppp!

Personally I prefer button mashers on console. Easier to replace a worn out controller than a whole Vita. I'll probably play VD on VitaTV for that reason. I didn't mind Senran Kagura on Vita, but I was glad Estival had cross-save, I plat'd the PS4 version transferred my save and the Vita plat only took like 3 hours.

And we're still waiting for the EU release -_-

Tell PEGI to stop being so shite lol. Apparently they charge a higher fee than ESRB and take longer.

They have several pre-orders listed for the Vita as "coming soon" that are never happening. If it's not announced by now, it's not happening.

LoL

I would love to tell you to have some faith in a physical release, JUST to see what your reaction would be. I have a feeling you've been burnt before. However, I'm fine with a wait and see approach.

Yes I did. The store we went to actually had only one left at the time.
Too my surprise I'm loving the formfactor. Plus the battery life is normal again.

Yea it was a long wait but I loved it. I did 1 ending on my macbook on release then knew it would be worth waiting for vita. got vita. did all endings. game went straight to the top of my GOTY list for 2017. and wrote about it. bought 2 copies of the JP physical. I hope LRG lets me buy 10 (not even kidding) of the English version.
