Cactus Drags Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 It just didn't connect for me. Don't get me wrong, it's the closest you can get to recreating a console shooter on the Vita, but I kind of wish someone had stopped to ask if you really need a console shooter on the Vita. I feel like they missed a trick by going for the more accuracy based shooting of a game like Killzone when the overall experience would've been better from something closer to something like Team Fortress 2 or Left 4 Dead. I don't know, it didn't work for me. It was definitely a fucking great attempt, but I just didn't feel like the type of FPS they created really worked on the smaller screen. Not to mention the Vita sticks are awful for accuracy. I mean, it's not as bad as the 3DS', but still not great. Console shooters sell, of course you need one on the Vita. And the grips really help with accuracy and control, I never play without mine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKz Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Are we talking about the hand grips, or some kind of proper thumbstick grip? I've got a hand grip, it's nice, but doesn't really improve on that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Drags Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hand grips, yeah, I found they were a huge help. I've heard the thumbstick toppers are excellent too, but I haven't tried any yet. Makes you wonder why it wasn't designed in such a way in the first place.

You lucky devils. Soul Sacrifice is exactly the kind of game that I'm like "shit, I could go for that... for free". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ellis Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 If you're of the American persuasion (maybe Canada too? not sure) or just have one of their accounts and are still rocking your PS3, you can go on Home and get download codes for PS1 titles Warhawk, Destruction Derby and Twisted Metal for completing a little point and click esque little puzzle thing. Tried Warhawk briefly and for a PS1 launch window flight sim, it's surprisingly competent! Despite skipping through the grainy FMV intros, I was able to quickly work out my objectives and the controls and beat the first mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apsham Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I've been offered a barely used Vita for 100 dollars. Worth it? Keep in mind I have a ton of previously purchased PS1 Classics and even some cross buy stuff to keep me entertained. You don't need to rebuy PS1 classics right?

EWB's Best Poster. Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 No you dont rebuy. Once yours its yours. If you've got plus youll have about 4 free vita games waiting for you as well. Which is worth the 100 there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apsham Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I just saw what's available and I've heard amazing things about Killzone's multiplayer. I think it'll come with a 4GB card. That'll do... like... 1 of those free games, won't it? >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apsham Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 So there's a Content Manager that allows me to put something that I've already installed on my Vita over to my PC - does that work well? It's certainly a good alternative to deleting and having to re-download a 3.2GB file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apsham Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Aight. The Content Manager has pretty much won me over on getting this while I can at such a low price, until I pick up a bigger card at least. I guess that pretty much makes up my mind as far as what next gen console I'll be getting as well. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWB's Best Poster. Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Well, if you get Plus (Which you will to go online with a ps4 anyways) yeah, itll carry over to all the systems. So free games abound. 4 gigs is a fair amount. You can hold usually 2 games on that, or more if they are psp ps1 games. Uncharted was the only massive one at 3.8 gigs.

Baddar Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I've got Most Wanted coming for my Vita today. Already completed it on PS3, and I've heard good things about the handheld version. It's mainly an excuse to play my Vita whilst I wait what's seemingly forever for FM2014.

Bobfoc Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Tearaway is really, really nice. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apsham Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'm likely picking up an 8 or 16 GB card today - just because I want to be able to have at least 2 full games on it at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought an 8 and had a 4. Yeah, its all i needed. I've actually platted more games for vita now than ps3. Love it.Tearaway is really, really nice. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am. You've got good company in the girl that sold it to me, who was ecstatic I wanted it because she loved it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Amazon has a Black Friday deal going on right now, $30 for a year of PS+ And I'm almost tempted to go for this: Walking Dead edition Vita with Sly Cooper, Retro City Rampage and Uncharted for $179. I don't need another handheld, but that's an obscenely great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKz Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I can confirm that even with a lack of titles, the Vita's remote play feature is super cool if you plan on picking up a PS4 eventually. Plus, next year will have pretty much every awesome indie game of the last few years ported onto the Vita. Rouge Legacy, Don't Starve, Binding of Issac... some others, I think... And you also get two of the best Vita games for free with PS+, Uncharted and Gravity Rush. AND if you get it in time, you can get Sonic Racing and Guacamelee for free too. For the record, Guacamelee is a side scrolling metroidvania game where you play as a Luchador and your special moves are Piledrivers and Suplexes. That's four awesome games for free! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ellis Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Only if you're an excellent European, those dastardly American types get Soul Sacrifice, which admittedly I hear is also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWB's Best Poster. Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Plus I have just started Tearaway. If you've got a vita, this is a MUST play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
