As an owner of all 3 platforms I would definitely reconsider renewing if Plus stopped including Vita games! PS3 doesn't bother me so much BUT Vita is definitely still a major part of my gaming! Have a 64GB Vita card which i'm filing up nicely thanks to Plus! The quality has been variable but hidden gems pop up frequently on PS Plus!!
Bought all 3 original Resis on Vita for £3 a few months ago. Wasn't really expecting to enjoy the 1st one but its still a really great game. Nemesis was always my favourite of the original ... always seems to be the least popular for some reason??
"Not an exciting feature"!!!!!???? Being able to play any game (or watch porn with your folks in the same room??) with the headset, freeing up the tele, not relying on substandard vita controls OR hiding under the covers pretending your sleeping while playing Witcher 3. That feature in itself is worth £350!!!
Loved this game ... Everything bout it grabbed me. Story, characters, gameplay, mood, soundtrack! Impeccable!! Particularly loved that psycho doctor's torture chamber!! 5 outta 10 seems really low! Played through it 3 times but would defo consider getting it again for PS4 (despite knowing the BIG reveal!) That's why Beyond was prob my biggest gaming disappointment ever! I didn't enjoy Beyond at all.
Love my Vita. Would never want/need a more powerful handheld ... which makes it more of a shame that Sony made no effort to resurrect it!!! ... Although they probably didn't deserve to after releasing a revised console and not amending the mistakes of the original (propriety memory cards and lack of shoulder buttons/R3L3.) ... baffling decision!!! Not listening to the public has cost Sony a fantastic machine and its the Vita owners that are paying for Sony's mistakes!! They still probably haven't learned their lesson!!
Started off completely unenthusiastic bout this. Hadn't read anything bout it. Was about to switch it off for the night.... 3 hours ago.... Then, a few things happened that set my pulse racing.... Couldn't put it down to the end... Had No idea what was happening to "me"! (I was Henry for those 5 hours). Helped that I had my ATM50X studio phones on - completely immersed in it. Was really creeped out a few times. Ending was fine for me... But... Saw so much potential.... Really excited for the future of these types of games... Slow burning log cabin in the woods slasher game in this style would be incredible! (in VR where u look over your shoulder n see a figure following u)... While on the walkie talkie to a mysterious stranger...
For PC owners it shouldve been a no brainer from day 1. Get a PS4!! Defo best of both worlds... Or as close as u can get without buying both consoles. Still find it incredible that XOne sold pretty well, especially after those disastrous decisions at E3. Happy with my PC/PS4 combo. . . XOne has ZERO exclusives that I would want AND the ones that aren't on PS4 (yet) like ROT Tomb Raider etc, I got on PC. Love the PS4 exclusives coming out this year.... SF V must b a real kick in the teeth for XBOne owners.
What's the point in this trash... And Who makes these desicions.? Previous releases get below average reviews.... I know... Well just keep releasing them.... without addressing the criticism... to achieve even worse reviews! Genius!!!
Really don't know how ANYONE can complain about Plus! I renewed my membership this month soley for Nihilumbra on Vita!! Already had Grim and the PS4 car thang looked crap! At just a few quid a month its more than a good deal!!!
Folders don't bother me.... Having demos and other things on my games list that can't be deleted does bother me... I have NEVER played Zen Pinball.... I have NEVER downloaded the demo for it....WTF it doin permanently settled in my games library!!! Other things like Now TV and Destiny demo got added too without my permission.... I REALLY want an update for the media player to increase compatibility... Lots of my movies have black screen with sound.... or just can't be played at all.
Surprisingly low given the acclaim. I kinda liked it.... spent too much time(150+ hours) doin identical side missions!!! ...... AND I mean IDENTICAL!!! Rescuing the same soldier from the same people in the same area ...... OVER and OVER and OVER!!!! Bored myself silly!! Got to the Episode One credits after the "Sahelanthrepa" robot (or whatever the stupid thing is called) and haven't gone back to finish it! Why all the filler???!!! Theres a great game buried in there!!!!
Tempted..... But..... Oh.... Hang on.... I thought this was a sale?!! ..... 64GB vita memory card.... A snip at £69!! Will these scheisters never learn?!!!
Rotten game. One of my biggest gaming disappointments ever. Adored Heavy Rain... ONE of my fave games ever with a cracking "Whodunnit" plot. To follow up with this mess of a game was a kick in the teeth. Why does this remake even exist? It was bad back then and it's probably worse now!
Meh! Unacceptable! For seasoned devs to release something "lacking in content" in a climate of games like MG5 and Fallout 4 is pretty lame... All the effort in nailing the aesthetic is pointless if the games no good.
My fave of the first 3 Resident games. Bought them all on PS Store last week for vita/ps3 for £4.80. Great value. Playing through them all. Halfway through 2 n really looking forward to 3. If Nemesis was released 1st people would appreciate it more. Being 3rd, I think people were just used to the resi formula by then. Defo deserves more recognition as it's a fantastic game.
Wish two could play this locally with headphones and chat through the mics!!! Love PT. Scariest thing ive ever experienced!! When ever LISA comes to get me I have to close my eyes and throw the headphones off!! Never actually finished it, which keeps me coming back!! Get to the walk 10 steps thing and hear the baby.... nothing I do after that seems to work!!! Still dare myself to play it every so often.
... Oh .. and all this "People don't want console experiences on handhelds"!!! That's exactly what I want on Vita and 3DS!!! Since the Gameboy, my faves have been the Zelda and Metroid handheld games!! Love Resi Rev on 3DS!! Love Mario 3D Land ( which easily rivals its console big brother)!!
Sony repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot... memory card, too few buttons for remote play ... Release a revised edition ... same problems!! They do realise if they had released it with 32GB Micro SD cards (instead of the extortionate propriety crap) bundled in it would've flown off the shelves!!! Greed doesn't pay!!! The people suffering for Sonys greedy policies are the people that own the console!! I really love the Vita. Only acquired it recently! Got a 64GB card cheap on Ebay and have 70 games (and counting) on it!!! Would never want/need a more powerful handheld!! ... So much potential .... Shame...
Beyond Good and Evil is incredible!!! One of my faves!! Envious of the people who have still to play it!!! Might give Walking Dead another playthrough, only played it on PS3!!! Wish they put in Resi HD Remaster!!! Wouldve been a nice Halloween Treat!!!
Oh dear ... 3 BIGGIES for me to buy this week ... This, Triforce Heroes and Fatal Frame and none of them want/deserve my money!!! In a climate where whole dev divisions can be shut down after only ONE FLOP you'd think playtesting/quality control would be of the upmost importance!!! Apparently not!!!! .... NEXT ....
I had a nightmare with this... My old card was invalid so updated my payment details n told me details were wrong for bout a month... . Then after that it magically worked again. Weird.
Remote play is a nice feature .... unfortunately the Vita is poorly equipped for it, lacking 4 buttons!!! Ive tried it out occasionally with certain games but using the rear touch screen just isn't the same!!! Sad part is they made a hardware revision ( a great chance to rectify it) .... and failed to add the missing buttons!!! And they wonder why it bombed!!
Im loving these games. Broken Age alone costs £20!!! £3 for PS+ a month would be worth it just for that one discount each month. . . but NO ... We get umpteen games shared between 3 systems.... Whats not to love???!!!
Sure ... I'll get it!! Pretty great EXCEPT for the shooting/combat, which I never liked in the Uncharted series at all!!! Naughty Dog managed to tweak it for Last of Us but the Uncharted combat just felt a bit slack in comparison!
I don't understand... Meatboy, Broken Age, Unmechanical and Kickbeat are all 8 rated games!!! Chariot is also really good and have enjoyed playing it with my son for PS4. I own 3 platforms and don't have any of the other ones so this is great for me. Especially happy bout Broken Age. Xbox get to share 3 games between 2 systems. We get 6 and 4 of them are cross buy so its pretty good value to me.
Course it's their fault. There never was any place in the market for propriety memory cards... . A sinister, cynical, downright greedy ploy and the sole reason I (and 1000s of others) didn't jump in at launch. Someone at Sony was actually employed to create a new memory card with the sole goal of fleecing customers ... By fixing a problem that didn't even exist!... Micro SD cards have been fine for every other mobile device. EVERYONE who bought a Vita has suffered from this shambolic, loathsome decision as it meant a vast extra expense and fewer units sold... ie, Less reason for devs to get involved with it. How hard is it to give the people what they want... Market Research - Which can be done by asking 1 random person on the street, "with our new consoles would u like industry standard, cheap micro sd support OR ridiculously over priced Sony memory cards that do the same thing for over 10 times the price?" That one question could've (maybe) had quite an impact on the systems success. I still enjoy my Vita. PS plus and PS4 compatibility still make it worth having.. I'd still have loved to see big franchises on it though!
Really Enjoying it. Just found the honeybee weapon and I'm at 7% completion. Couple of things I hate are the horse controls (it bumps into rocks n gets kinda stuck ALL THE Time, particularly annoying in chase sequences ), and the climbing is just awful. Sliding back down rocks that the game says you can climb is a terrible, infuriating, design flaw. Other than that it's all pretty great! Bit overwhelmed by Mother Base but slowly getting hang of it.
I never bought a new vita due to the propriety card nonsense. Waited couple years till I saw a vita with 64gb card on eBay. They tried it b4 with the psp but micro sd adapters were readily available at 1 or 2 bucks. Must've deliberately created these cards to be too small to make adapters for. . . Which isn't really a problem if the price point is right and comparable to sd cards on the market... It wasn't.... Cynical, Scandalous prices from a greedy, opportunist company.
Pretty cynical release considering the cost!! One of my fave games ever but asking to pay full price again for an identical experience is just too much!!! The cosmetic upgrade is nice but not worth the cost UNLESS you haven't played it before!!! Still .... 9.5/10 for me!!!!
Defo Knight for me. City and Asylum were both fantastic but seeing as I LURVE the Batmobile ... its a no brainer! Just mopping up few last side missions b4 I complete but, have to say, Knight is incredible!!!
Lurve this game. I think the Batmobile is incredible!!!! Your only required to use it a relatively small amount of times but I love driving around Arkham in it! Controls great, exceptional speed and I actually enjoy the tank battles!!! Don't understand the negatives surrounding it. Defo better to toggle as opposed to holing down L2 for tank mode. Enjoying all the side missions too. Tons to do!!!!
Morpheus won't catch on due to One reason..... Fragmentation. Unless it comes as standard with a console it'll likely die a quick death like PS Move - which is still great tech... But devs won't create games for Morph if only 6 percent of the userbase can play them/buy them!!
