Flojomojo Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 It's Vita day or something on the internet! Touch Arcade just posted a nice roundup of Vita RPGs. http://toucharcade.com/2016/07/07/rpg-reload-presents-the-history-of-handheld-rpgs-part-eleven/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 What Playstation Store downloadable games would you recommend? These could be Vita, PSP or PS1 games! TxK is great and is exclusive to the system (and PSTV). It's Tempest 2015 and I like it a lot. The Namco PSP fighting games look terrific on the Vita screen, especially Tekken 6. I like the Star Wars Battlefront PSP games on the Vita, especially the first one (Battlefront II) with the Vita dual sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Jesus Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 I like the Star Wars Battlefront PSP games on the Vita, especially the first one (Battlefront II) with the Vita dual sticks. The two Syphon Filter games on the PSP were some of my favorites. I wonder if you can use both analog sticks for that!? That would rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Ooh, Syphon Filter, that's some retro cheese. The neon colors would look nice on the OLED Vita. You can map pretty much anything to the analog sticks and screen/back surfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPA5 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Great video, I didn't know the Vita had so many great games. It's making me want to get back into Sony handhelds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I have to say just looking at the opening shot for the video, that's more vita physical cartridges I've ever seen together in one place at one time. (Which is probably a reason why the system has been doing so poorly overall.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Speaking of digital: TXK is a must and Pixeljunk games, Puppy Games and everything by Drinkbox Studios! Totally worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 The system is worth a pickup for the retro-style stuff alone. Super Star Wars Nidhogg Spleunky Mutant Mudds ...and many more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Jesus Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Super Star Wars A lot of people were surprised when those older Star Wars games appeared suddenly in the store! The downloadable games are alive and well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) I second TxK. Motorstorm RC also is a good one and likely the only overhead racer in the library. The two Syphon Filter games on the PSP were some of my favorites. I wonder if you can use both analog sticks for that!? That would rock Nope, I believe that only Resistance Retribution supports that on the PSP and only via piggybacking onto the PS3. You have to have Resistance 2 running on the PS3 to get this setup going which then streams PS3 controller inputs via WiFi to your PSP, turning this PSP first person shooter into a full blown dual analog console style shooter. Combined with a PSP HDMI upscaler for full-screen tv output, it's pretty much like playing a PS3 game. This functionality sadly doesn't seem to work with actual Vita hardware though. Speaking of Resistance, any opinions on the Vita entry? My PSTV suffices for the most part, but this and Uncharted are two handheld exclusives here that tempt me from time to time.

onmode-ky Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Contrary to what seems to be said in the video, I don't think the region of your hardware places any limits on your PSV's PS Store access. Rather, it's just the region of the PSN account that you register on the device. I haven't switched my system (which is American) to either of my non-US accounts in a good while, but I have done it before, so unless there is some specific restriction just for PSV hardware sold in Japan, yes, you can access PS Stores that are foreign to your hardware. I understand that there was a time when the PS TV had launched in Japan, but was not yet available elsewhere, during which non-Japanese PSN accounts would not work on a Japanese PS TV (Vita TV). Is that what she was thinking about? That was resolved a long time ago, though (firmware update, I think?). Also, I'd like to add that the PSV physical release of DariusBurst Chronicle Saviours in Japan is the only physical release of the game in the world, on any platform. onmode-ky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Nope, I believe that only Resistance Retribution supports that on the PSP and only via piggybacking onto the PS3. I think you're right. I was thinking of the original PSOne Syphon Filter games (hence my 'retro cheese' comment) when MJ mentioned the PSP games from the series. They're quite different. I haven't added any new old games to my Vita in a long time, but this list was my favorite place to check on compatibility. The formatting is broken in some portions, but you can get the idea, and it's the most comprehensive list I know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegadot Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I've never actually put a physical game in my Vita and it's basically been a portable Final Fantasy system for me. I also keep hoping there will be some fire sale on the memory cards but haven't gotten lucky yet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher5.0 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Good to see some Vita love! I liked the video a lot. Also cool to see a lot of LRG games mentioned. I have all of their releases so far. They are like the saviors of physical games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoshiChiri Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Well I hope you're happy. I went out and bought Tales of Hearts R the day I watched this because I didn't realize it was a limited (ish) release. I only just recently discovered Limited Run Games. Boy, is that gonna be dangerous for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leods Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) Did anyone talk about this thing: If your vita stays at home, this is a serious must buy. Takes the system from being OK into being gaming bliss. Too bad there's no fix yet for the proprietary SD cards.

Metal Jesus Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Limited Run Games is a publisher that still puts of physical releases for the PS4 and Playstation VITA. In this video I play and review the first seven Vita releases from Limited Run Games and I show you gameplay footage. GAMES SHOWN: Breach & Clear Saturday Morning RPG Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty Futuridium Xeodrifter Octodad: Dadliest Catch Soldner X-2: Final Prototype 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher5.0 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I enjoyed this one. It was crazy to see them on a forest floor when they are pretty expensive now but you probably got most of them for free for reviews I'd imagine. I was surprised you didn't show or talk about the manual for Xeodrifter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
