Hell yeah.. any improvement at all with the Vita's browser is fine by me. Go right ahead, Sony. :)

MastaMold4442d ago

This is some good news as i finally got a PS Vita yesterday cant wait to see how good Skype will work with the Vita specially video chat and as for the web browser its pretty smooth with my wifi at home and with my phones hotspot as i'm typing this comment with my Vita and surfing the web :)

ThanatosDMC4441d ago

Browser sucked. I cant even use it to browse N4G without those ads popping out. Not to mention it wont load the whole page.

Lior4442d ago

Yes flash and HTML 5 please

fluffydelusions4442d ago

I wouldn't get my hopes up for Flash but hopefully HTML 5. I believe Adobe is abandoning Flash on mobile in favor of HTML5

fluffydelusions4442d ago (Edited 4442d ago )

Skype...nice! I could see that selling some 3G units. Also, can't wait for the browser update...it needs it!

majiebeast4442d ago

I just hope they start ps1 support soon.

GribbleGrunger4442d ago

you've got to understand that Sony need to sell Vitas and the only way they are going to do that is through development support. the last thing they should be doing at the moment is allowing PS1 games to be played on the Vita. it's not so bad for the PSP titles because those games are more current and most of the developers who made a PSP game are also supporting Vita. still though, those Vita specific games need to sell, and sell in great numbers.

Razongunz4442d ago

flash would be nice.. but i heard adobe told sony that they quit supporting flash on portable hardware.

sony still tries to get flash on the vita though..hope adobe gives in and lends sony a greencard to add flash on the vita.

and tbh i'm not bugged at all about the broweser in general.. it was faster and more fluid than i expected but if they want to immprove it then go ahead :P i'm not gonna complain.

fluffydelusions4442d ago

Browser is not as terrible as people make it out to be but it could definitely use some work.

Mikhail4442d ago

They are comparing it to high end tablet/smartphone browser so the vita browser is relatively weak compared to those.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5214d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212114d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5213d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5213d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani14d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum15d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman15d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim14d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

I disagree Batman
