I think I would prefer it if they straight up said, "revenue generated from product placement aids us in game production".
That being said, I really don't think subtle product placement is a big deal.
@Melucine I'm pretty tempted to go for La Mulana too but it's just over the top end of what I'd like to pay for it. I think I'll just make do with the PS+ monthly games and wait for the inevitable sale price drop.
Finally got around to buying FFX HD collection on PS3, so I'm looking forward to wallowing in the tides of nostalgia there! Also got Catherine and Wolf among us in the sale.. It's gonna be a fun weekend!
@get2sammyb Hmm yeah you're probably right. Remastered edition featuring all DLCs etc. I think Gravity Rush is too good an IP for Sony to let it just die out on Vita (as much as it pains me to admit it).
That said though, surely Sony must be feeling some pressure from the many Vita owners given the lack of attention at its recent conferences. I hope that they give the handheld at least some attention during the Tokyo show.
With the Tearaway ps4 announcement I really wouldn't be surprised if Gravity Rush 2 was announced as a ps4 exclusive. Would defo help sales in JP at least.
I can't say I'd be ecstatic if that was the case though.
@Incrediblebraig I'm with you there.. Not a fan of playing games before finishing their prequels. There's not really much here for me this month. Heres hoping for a better offering next month!
I'm very excited about GR2 also! I am going to be preordering FFX, Toukiden, Danganronpa, Neptunia PP, Ys and Demon Gaze to keep me busy until then though
So many great games to look forward to on vita in 2014... FFX HD, Toukiden, Ys Celceta, Demon Gaze, Danganronpa, Neptunia PP.. And i still haven't got around to buying/playing Tearaway, Dragons Crown, Muramasa. It really is a great time to be a Vita owner. Great to hear that they're keeping Dragons Crown updated... I really can't wait to try it
I feel like January's Student Loan is already spent
As cool as it is that they're releasing these popular old games on vita etc, i can't help but feel that they have the price point all wrong for games that have been out for so long.
E.G. £~10 for terraria just doesn't really feel fair considering it's occasionally on sale for £~1.50 on steam.
I know that the price should eventually drop buuut.. it seems a little dirty imo.
@get2sammyb
Sorry about the ninja edit!
No I'm not in that desperate of a situation haha but I've heard it said that "The price of greatness is responsibility." I guess what he really meant was that the price is not being able to enjoy games at release date Onto my never-ending backlog it goes!
There are definitely some spectacular titles out for the vita currently but it would be nice to know that there is more to come! Yeah you can rummage around and find info, but it would be excellent if they use this chance to make everyone know about them.
I think Disgaea D2 should receive an eventual port from the upcoming ps3 title. Demon Gaze, DanganRonpa coming soon too.
I think if they really want to tear the roof down... Announce they have acquired Atlus, then announce Persona 5 officially
After speaking to a friend about it, it seems that there is some framerate slowdown if you have more than one caster on screen, although it's not game breaking at all. That being said I'm probably going to go with the vita edition, and perhaps pick up the ps3 version when it price drops later
@MadchesterManc Eventually i'll try the series... but I've got persona 4, Disgaea 3 and Okami HD to play at the moment. I am on the lookout for a copy of the first game though. Who knows though, by the time i'm ready to play it, we might have an announcement for Neptunia on the vita over here in the west! You should try some of the Disgaea games!
Developers need to stop chattering on about how they think digital only is the best idea. People like physical media, they like having the freedom to lend, borrow and sell, they like being able to collect.

Re: Sony's Shutting Down Destiny of Spirits After Just 15 Months of Service
The game just wasn't smooth enough. You just need to play a mobile game like Puzzles and Dragons to realise how important considering connectivity is.

Thank you for the quick update

Re: Watch 12 Minutes of Freedom Wars Gameplay and Decide If It's a Sentence Worth Enduring
Wow! Looks fantastic! I can see this selling great numbers in Jp, it'll probably help sales on PSVita TV too.
Re: See Where It All Began With Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 This Summer
Looking forward to grabbing this, Danganronpa 2 and Disgaea 4 for Vita later in the year... Good old NIS(A) keeping the vita alive.

Re: Puyo Puyo Tetris Is A Puzzle Mash-Up That Is So Crazy It Just Might Work
Stuff like this and Doc. Robotnic's Mean Bean Machine are amazing to play local coop.
This, strangely enough, would be a day one digital download on ps3 for me.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 13

Re: VVVVVV Flips Gravity on PlayStation VVVVVVita
It's probably going to have an outlandish entry price considering the age of the game.
Re: You'll Be Able to Listen to Game Audio Through the PS4 Controller's Headphone Jack
Very awesome.
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Thoughts on the PS4's Launch Lineup?
I think they'd be onto a winner if they had one or two more titles... Gravity Rush 2 or Monster Hunter PS4 Edition.
As a Vita lover though i'm glad they didn't announce them so I still have some hope for a release of either on psv.
Re: Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection Spooks NA PS Plus
I think when you take into consideration that both Jak and Daxter Trilogy and Stealth Inc were cross buy, the NA PS Plus showing seems really weak.

Re: Live: Watch the EA GamesCom Press Conference Right Here

Re: Feature: PS4, PS3, and Vita Announcements You Should Expect at GamesCom 2013

Re: UK Sales Charts: Tales of Xillia Conjures Fourth Place Finish
@MadchesterManc Eventually i'll try the series... but I've got persona 4, Disgaea 3 and Okami HD to play at the moment. I am on the lookout for a copy of the first game though. Who knows though, by the time i'm ready to play it, we might have an announcement for Neptunia on the vita over here in the west! You should try some of the Disgaea games!
Re: UK Sales Charts: Tales of Xillia Conjures Fourth Place Finish
Definitely one of the things I love about NISA localisations... pretty much all of them have dual audio.
I would actually pay extra to have jap audio for Dragons Crown.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Eleven
Finally getting around to playing Okami HD... so charming!
Also playing persona 4, and disgaea 3 (trying to stop myself from starting it until i finish persona 4 though!) on Vita...
Re: Store Update: 7th August 2013 (Europe)
