I want to play this title (on vita) so badly but unfortunately I already have too many great games on my vita's backlog. I'll probably get to this title in a year or so. Weird problem to have, eh?
Yes, dont you dare name my favorite handheld anything else as "popular". For a "dying" handheld the vita has surprising amount of games coming. I freaking love my vita. Just to stay on topic - this game looks good. An Aksys game? Even better. Looking forward to the next Vanillaware game though.
Sad news. I love this game so much and recommend to anyone as one of the best side scroller action games ever made. Put about 100 hours into it. I really hope Atlus gets it back to PSN.
@WanderingBullet It came out that on vita GE2:RB does not include GER. As my main gaming console is vita then luckily I dont have to deal with this dilemma and can get GER right now. And also I heard that on PS consoles these games are cross-play. Excellent!
I did not like the first protagonist also but what exactly makes this new protagonist a clear improvement over the old one? Color of his skin? Maybe the next problem that Ubi should be addressing is the protagonists gender? Instasuccess? Here's the thing Ubi - I dont care what is the protagonists gender or race, just make us care about him/her.
I do not consider a 100 hour game an automatic plus. It took 100 hours for me to complete vanilla Witcher3 and I was kinda fed up with the game at that point already. And W3 is an effing masterpiece. I'll take a good 20 hour game over a good 100 hour game any day.
I'm a playstation + pc gamer and IMHO xbox controller (360 or xbox1) is much better on pc than ds4. I personally use xbox360 controller for PC and there is just no way I would reconsider to use a ds4 on it.
Looks pretty good. Played the first one on vita and enjoyed it quite a bit. Still think that the best native "monster hunter" on vita is Soul Sacrifice. This year is fantastic for MH type of games - this game and God Eater coming west AND to vita to boot. Mmmm... erection.
Star Trek Online's F2P model is extra creepy. Played it for couple of months on PC. Gazillion of different ingame currencies, quadrillion of building materials, loot crate drops (basically a lottery) that require you to purchase keys for real money. Yeah, gonna pass. Gameplay itself is not bad though. The only F2P game currently on Ps4 that does its finance model right is Warframe.
I am excited for this. I liked Toukiden on Vita. Skipped Toukiden Kiwami though.
But my personal all time favorite "monster hunter" type game on vita is Soul Sacrifice and its extended version SS Delta.
Also looking forward to God Eater Burst western release.
Oh God... Vita is such a heaven platform for monster hunter type games. Loving this system.
PS! I own new 3ds xl and MH4. After putting some 80 hours into it I can say that its definitely an excellent game... but I still prefer to play the knock offs on vita. Nintendos controls are just not for me. A vita native MH game would be an effing dream
Gravity Rush should have stayed a vita exclusive. Ditto for the sequel. I loved GR on vita - platinumed it too. It is a great handheld game. I have no interest to play this nor the sequel on PS4.
A good game and definitely a good news. The only problem is that this game is rather unplayable on ps3. My game on ps3 frequently froze for several minutes after any instanced quest I completed. I would come back to this game when I get a ps4... maybe.
I found the controls of the first game to be too cumbersome and finicky. Controls or how the protagonist reacted to controls, something was off with this game. Could not put my finger on it. Idea of the game was great though.
I am surprised at the amount of upcoming games that actually make me like "can't effing wait". No AAA but OMG how many good looking and interesting games are coming this year. Too bad the poll only allows for one game to be voted. I would probably have marked at least half of them.
So what exactly they tried to do - emulate PS4 on Vita? Their reasoning is laughable. Say it out loud that you dont want to spend money/time on a proper port and be done with it.
If future PS home consoles will be fully (I mean FULLY) backwards compatible (basically like a pc) then the new home console release cycle could be much quicker. I would not mind spending 400 EUR for upgrading after each 5 or so years while keep all my older and current game library intact. IMHO that would be pretty smart in a sense that this would tie gamers to a specific brand for a very long time.
Vita is the best handheld currently on the market. I love my Vita and it has stayed my main gaming platform for years. I currently have a gaming PC, ps3 and a 3ds. I have owned xbox360 and regular DS. Out of these gaming devices Vita is my favorite. It is too bad that Vita was marketed as a substitute for home consoles which clearly was not needed. Instead Vita needed games designed for portable format.
Oooooh, this is great news. When Ubi announced this spinoff I immediately thought that these games are prefect on Vita. Glad they are coming. Day1 purchase for me. Still waiting for Valiant Hearts: The Great War hit ht Vita. I'm surprised that it did not make it yet as Child of Light was exceptionally enjoyable on Vita. Basically every UbiArt framework game is perfect fit on Vita.
Aaaan if I already talk about a wishlist - I hope that Transistor comes to Vita too. Just finished Bastion on Vita and what a great game it was. I played Tranistor on a phone but the touch only controls are reallly bad.
A separate app? Was there some official app for iOS? What was it for? I was looking for an app that lets me check progress on trophies ans such but could not find any official solution for that. Is there any?
Oh my... Big kudos to the reviewer to review this particular game as it is - a vita game. It was so tiresome in the past to read a review about a game that was also available on more powerful home consoles where most of the review was babbling about how the home console version is this and that. Finally a review that reviews the game as it is intended for given platform.
For me PS Vita is the preferred gaming platform (I own a ps3 and a powerful pc) so when I want to play a game specifically on Vita I want to know how this or that game plays on Vita and not on any other platform.
This review made me actually quiet interested in DW8 Empires now. I was on the lookout for a warriors game on vita. So...
I am soooo tired of 8bit/16bit retro games that the market has been flooded in last couple of years. And I'm an old gamer that should have a proper nostalgia kick from these types of art directions. But maaaan I just cant stand it anymore. I dont mind 2d games at all but I would like them to look interesting and good like guacamelee or muramasa rebirth or dragons crown (tits not necessary but can be a bonus). This particular game probably is excellent but the art direction puts me really off here.
It really is like Sony just did not bother (and still does not). I'm surprised why they did not just throw these devices away. They knew that it will not sell without media streaming apps and I doubt that they are making any money on selling this device. I almost bought it at release with full price but it was clearly visible from day1 that the missing media apps will never be released for psTV making this a pointless thingy. Are they even still producing new units?
@NomNom Who sells this electric sword and where? The best I have found so far is a serrated Chinese officer sword with about 50 dam and it's not bad. But 95 dam - damn:).
I definitely love Fallout 4 so far but honestly this game is too similar to Fallout 3 - mechanics, textures, glitches. There are not many improvements. I was hoping a more "next gen" (I do play on pc, so...) experience with Fallout 4 but it seems that Bethesda did not want to risk.
Just to point out - I effing love Fallout 4 and will play a ton of it. But my personal GOTY goes to Witcher 3. Witcher 3 was a huuuuge improvement over previous installments and in my personal opinion Fallout 4 did not fully deliver.
But I am extremely happy that it is a massive commercial success.
Will ps4 price drop also in EU this or next year? I'm considering ps4 now with the Nathan Drake Collection bundle. But I dont need it right now as I have many many many other games to play that sit in my backlog.
Will pick this up day1 for pc. I still cant understand how CD Project Red managed to create such a detailed world. Heck, even side quests feel like main story quests sometime. So much attention to detail. Just great!
Bought it day1 through a PayPal promotion dirt cheap. Unfortunately it is now sitting in my Steam library while all my time goes to MGSV TPP. Did not even launch MM once. Hopefully I'll get to play it after MGSV but I'm afraid that by that time Fallout 4 is out:(. IMHO This game had a very unfortunate launch windows. If it would have come out two or even one week prior MGSV then many, many more people would have played it.
I very very very much hope that CD Project made a significant profit with this game. Witcher 3 is clearly lovingly crafted and I would like to see more such games from them.
So no Gravity Rush 2 for vita? Sony, for the love of god make at least all psp games purchasable on vita. I dont understand how Valkyrie Chronicles and Metal Gear Solid 1 cant be bought directly to vita in NA shop while it is available in EU shop. Sony is starting to piss me off.

Re: PS4 Controller Selected Best for PC Gaming
