OLED is not as amazing as people make it out to be. The colors are oversaturated and its hard to see in daylight. I had the OLED and sold it to get the slim and I'm very happy with it. Most people who shit talk the slim have no real clue.

Another poor soul has joined the ranks of the dying vita brotherhood.

Just about every review says that the OLED is better looking than the LCD, although they don't then put down the LCD

I guess to make this system wars material: Vita sucks!

I thought you have a vita?

Who would buy a Vita now? Esp. after Sony shunned it during E3.

About 56k people in the US in May, it turns out.

That's about 20k less than the Xbox One during that same time period, for those playing at home.

Persona 4 is my main jam. Danganronpa is my current jam. Stellar games.

I'm playing blazblue right now getting pumped for the new one that comes out at the end of the month. I highly recommend it as you probably can find it cheap on amazon.

I compared my vita slim to my friends OLED and the difference isn't that large. I refuse to call the OLED better, it's just different. I would say that the colors on the slim are more natural looking while the OLED is a lot more vibrant and cartoony. People seem to ignore the facts that the vita slim is lighter in weight, has better battery life, along with better overall design and better buttons.

Indies and ports?

yeah that's my next hit if I'm honest. Am I right in thinkng the 64gb isn't out in the west yet? I know it's meant to be like £100+ isn't it?

yeah they fucked that up bad lol.

Cheers for that I'll see which ones have been on plus first :P

Well maybe I just wanted one of the dying breed as they will be totally non existent by the end of this year.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up.

yep, agreed

Ask at the Playstation forum. This is system wars, otherwise.

Sell it and sue the money for something useful.

pour one out for me

Persona 4 Golden, Killzone Mercenary's, Uncharted golden abyss

I've been spending more time in the bathroom as of late....... Playing Watch Dogs via remote play of course. PS+ will hook you up with plenty of good games to play as well.

Have you tried Remote Play on it yet? You can play every PlayStation 4 game on it (online and single player), except those that require the camera.

@misterpmedia: I would actually suggest you just say "**** it" and import a 64gb memory card as soon as possible. They ain't coming to the west anytime soon, and with the sales PS+ usually has it's just easier to spring for it off the bat.

I went from 4gb to 16gb, then 32gb before I did that. Don't waste that amount of money.

If you have PS+, you are pretty set to go then. Let me just say you probably at this point have more games than your card can hold. I'm pretty sure dragons crown is currently in the EU psplus for this month or the following, so you don't need to pick it up.

Killzone is pretty awesome on the vita, its a must-have.

Other good options include PS classic of castlevania SOTN. Its great on vita.

As far as the battery life goes, mine will last ~2.5 hours if I'm playing killzone online MP. If i'm playing anything else, it lasts around 6. If the wifi is off and the brightness is down I get more. I haven't run into any problems with the battery not lasting long enough when i'm on the go.

• Uncharted Golden
• Persona 4 Golden
• Little Big Planet
• Monter Monopeince
• Gravity Rush
• Final Fantasy X HD
• YS Memories
• Soul Sacrifice
• Dragons Crown
• Sly Cooper 4
• Killzone
• Tearaway

I'll see about importing then. I'll probably just stick with the 16GB card for the light gaming.

stream some ps4 games on it or wait for PS NOW

lol Have 0 interest in PS Now, won't be using that service for many many years. I still have native physical hardware to play old games on.

I dont think Vita is yet worthy of a buy but the games I would like to play on it are:

Uncharted: GA

WipEout 2048

Tearaway

P4G

Killzone Mercenary

Muramasa

Gravity Rush

As of now the Vita actually has more interesting games to play then both the X1 and the PS4

I think the FFX voice acting gets way too much hate. I think a lot of it is driven by the ever-misunderstood laughing scene. It's not the best but it adds extra life to the characters (I definitely prefer it to no voice acting).

The lip-synching did become really noticeable in the HD version, that was my only real complaint about it.

A 3DS.

My thoughts on the voice acting is that some characters are very well done and others aren't.

Tidus=mixed VA. Perfectly competent at times, bad at others.

Yuna=terrible VA in general.

Wakka=awesome VA. Wakka is such an underrated and well done character in general.

Lulu=great VA.

Auron=great VA.

Rikku=mixed VA.

Khimari=decent VA but hard to judge because he doesn't say much.

Seymour=good VA.

Some of the NPCs sound pretty bad tho.

But I guess overall it's decent. A bit above average for JRPGs, but then again, JRPGs are pretty notorious for shoddy VA.

Now FFXII: that's some fucking good voice acting right there.

Dude Wakka's VA is awesome because it's John DiMaggio aka Bender from Futurama

Definitely agreed that FF12 in general has much better voice acting. Balthier is just awesome (both voice acting and as a character)

edit: oh did not know apparently DiMaggio also did Khimari. Weird.

I have been playing Mortal Kombat on the go. It's a great version. That's aside from the usual Persona 4 Golden suggestion. Also Spelunky and Hotline Miami. There is a wealth of indie games, which are perfect for handheld gaming. Much rather play one of those (and the likes of Everybody's Golf) than big budget titles on it.

Yeah, just found that out like a year ago. Dude is versatile.

Love Balthier but I especially liked his dad. Doctor Cid was is my favorite FF villain. He has electric screen presence.

Nice dude. I have a launch Vita and I have primarily PS1 and PSP games on it. But I love PeaceWalker and MGS2,3 on the go. KZ Mercenary was great fun, Soul Sacrifice, Uncharted, Gravity Rush. Some good gaming on it imo.

No!! You're Stupid!! Sony does cross buy perfectly!!

Persona 4: The Golden is what I'd get first, in the past I might have gotten Assassin's Creed III: Liberation but that's on other systems now, though I might get the Killzone game for the Vita. If you never had a PSP I'd be building on on that library, the Patapon games for sure if you haven't played those. I myself would also want to play the Persona games that were on the PSP. There's the first Persona and the two Persona 2 games, and Persona 3 Portable. I'd get Parasite Eve Third Birthday, and if they have the previous games on the PSone classics I'd get those too. If you're an old school gamer I'd pretty much go through the PSone classics and get whatever catches your eye. I myself never played the Valkyria Chronicles on the PSP, I played the first PS3 game but not the PSP sequels, so I'd check those out.

If you never owned a PSP or PS1, there's lots there that might be worth checking out, more so maybe than games specifically designed for the Vita.

Amazon actually has 64gb cards listed on their US and UK stores if that helps. I got an 8gb card with my vita, and it's actually served me pretty well, but I'd like to upgrade to 64 eventually. Probably grabbing one of these a an XMas present for myself later this year if I can be patient.

As far as games go, I'm currently enjoying Sly Cooper: Thieves in time that we got from PS+ recently with cross buy from the PS3 version. Everyone said P4G already and they are all correct. I personally loved Dangonronpa and would recommend. It's like Persona and Phoenix Wright mashed together and a sequel is coming this fall. Gravity Rush is also an absolute must play.

God, that is just disgustingly priced.

That's the truth. :/

Just out of interest, what are ps1 games like on the vita? I'm thinking of picking one up just to play some ps1 games I downloaded from psn.

I also wasnt sure what vita games to play so cheers for this thread. I might pick up tearaway bundle as it looks like the most original game.

Vita + PS1 RPGs is pure gaming heaven. Even if the Vita had nothing more than PS1 RPGs to play it would have been worth the price.

Some of the more 3D action oriented PS1 games on the Vita I don't find as easy to play as with a real Playstation controller - but that might just be me. They otherwise play flawlessly.

Absolutely loved Teraway.

@gfxpipeline:

thanks a lot, you've just convinced me to get one. Think I will head down after work and pick one up.

@lostrib: Yes it is.

I will never understand that leap in logic that said "Let's use an industry standard for our console, but an overpriced proprietary POS for our handheld"

currently playing those three right now and I'm having a blast. Didn't think I'd enjoy it that much. I guess i'm going to hit a wall soon where I want more first party stuff on the thing knowing full well Sony have all out abandoned it. Also got Dragon's Crown to start and a couple of others. I'm glad I got an OLED model, feels pretty weighty, like I can feel my moneys worth lol.

OT: I bought (PSP)GOW: GOS too. Is there any reason why 'Chains of Olympus' is no longer available for purchase or is it because of EU PSN?

yup one of the many reasons Vita ain't doing so well more than likely haha.

Yup already got a few of them. Got the PS3 PS allstars too which has the Vita version on the disc so will transfer that at some point. So far I'm impressed though, this is like the first handheld I've since the Game boy Advanced lol. I guess I'll be saving up for a 64gb card, worth it enough to have to worry about 'space' at all I suppose.

@misterpmedia:

I don't know about chains of Olympus. I have it from a while back. I'll have to check PS Store here. It is a good game system imo. On month long field training Vita was a god send pulling overnight guard duty.

Some of the fighting games are pretty fun to play. Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter x Tekken are great. Flower is a good buy too, but I'm hoping Journey will eventually get ported to the vita.
