Yeah so now there's CFW and whatnot for PSVita. Not that interested in it since I don't have (or want) a Vita...but the info is out there...

Is there any homebrew that makes it worth getting?

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #127 on:** October 08, 2012, 01:14:08 PM »

You have to be either really quick or really lucky to be able to install it. It's all based in the PSP emulator, using exploits in specific games that Sony removes from the shop immediately, so you have to either have the game already or find out about it before Sony does.

I have no idea if there's anything Vita-specific worth trying yet. I believe all (or most) PSP homebrew works, but it doesn't get any added functionality since it's being run through the PSP emulator. Again, I don't have, or want, a Vita, so I don't have too much interest in this.

I've already said as much in our upcoming Episode 6 of NFR, but the Vita's come out of hibernation to have a pretty awesome October before it goes back into hibernation again. I already picked up New Little King's story (it hit PSN last week) and Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward (the 999 sequel); Silent Hill: Book of Memories (which had a surprisingly good demo); Retro City Rampage; Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation; and Persona 4: The Golden come out in the next few weeks. For a handheld dead before it ever really lived, that's a pretty good lineup for one month.

And in case you're curious, New Little King's Story is pretty good. I haven't played the Wii version, though, so I can't say how it compares.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #130 on:** October 08, 2012, 10:34:27 PM »

I'll be picking up Little King's Story at some point. I'm also interested in Need for Speed: Burnout Paradise, or whatever the hell its real name is, which is coming in the next month.

Wait, the Vita is getting the 999 sequel? Is the 3DS getting it too?

Yes. The Vita just had a demo up on PSN last week, which I'm kind of surprised the 3DS didn't get as well now that Nintendo's allowing demos on the eShop. From what I've played, it's more 999 with all the good and bad that entails.

So RCR is out in the US already? It's not on the store here.

Retro City Rampage will be up on the PSN sometime tonight when the store updates.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #135 on:** October 10, 2012, 01:56:22 PM »

Meh, all that showed up is a Dr. Who game.

Huh? Retro City Rampage went up on last night's NA PSN update, and I downloaded it to my PS3 and Vita. Are you in Europe? Their PSN is supposed to get the game in their next update.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #137 on:** October 10, 2012, 03:57:03 PM »

Yeah, Europe. I don' know their update schedule yet but today a Dr. Who game appeared so I guess they updated.

Guys you won't beleive me but I met a real life Vita owner today. I mean he only said he owned a Vita, it's not like I saw it or anything.

EDIT: ALRIGHT I CONFESS
I lied.
I don't know anyone with a Vita.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #139 on:** August 22, 2013, 12:10:24 PM »

After a merely okay showing at E3, the Vita had a very strong GamesCom. There were a lot of announcements of indie games hitting both PS4 and Vita, and some larger titles, such as the really surprising announcement of a port of Borderlands 2. Between all the new game announcements and the recent price drop, is anyone without a Vita becoming interested?

Sarail · « **Reply #140 on:** August 22, 2013, 12:25:21 PM »

I slightly am. But I'd have to do some research as far as what games to get. I'm quite picky when it comes to handheld games.

Though, FIFA '14 (despite it being an upgrade/reskin of last year's version) is a given for me.

toddra · « **Reply #141 on:** August 22, 2013, 01:06:53 PM »

I am actually now on the fence between a Vita and 3DS. I will try to get both but right now due to financial reasons I have to choose one and then the other latter. I will make my decision tomorrow when my money hits the bank.

Do you already have PS+, kinda the saving grace for the VITA iMO. Tons of free games plus big discounts on current games like UMVC3 or Dead or Alive 5 for $10.

The 3DS have some killer titles too but Nintendo games don't drop in prices as fast so you'll be paying $30 a title.

Also if you planning on buying either one you can always buy used systems--Vita's go for around $120-140 and 3DS's go around $100-130.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #143 on:** August 22, 2013, 01:46:44 PM »

There's also the bundle coming up later this year where you get a PS4 and a Vita together for $500, so if you were considering buying a PS4 that might be a good way to get a Vita.

WOAH WOAH WOAH

I need a source like right now. If that's true, I'm pissed that I bought my Vita now.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #145 on:** August 22, 2013, 02:13:29 PM »

After a search, apparently that hasn't been confirmed yet and is only a rumor at this point, so it might not actually be happening. I'm not sure whether the price cut would make that more or less likely.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #146 on:** August 22, 2013, 03:57:17 PM »

It really seems like Sony's treating the PS4 launch as a relaunch for the Vita. Lots of software announcements and the price cut, along with a strong connectivity with it and the PS4 that's pretty much the main reason I'm considering buying that system at launch. As someone who has had a Vita for a while now, I'm really excited by what's coming, and I'm glad Sony hasn't given up on this great little system.

pokepal148 · « **Reply #147 on:** August 22, 2013, 04:15:35 PM »

at the same time however it will be very difficult to make the system a valid competitor to the 3DS, especially with whats coming in October

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #148 on:** August 22, 2013, 04:20:43 PM »

It doesn't have to beat the 3DS to be successful, though. With Sony's focus on Western and Indie games it's going at a very different market than the Japan- and Nintendo-centric 3DS. The two systems actually complement each other pretty nicely.
