HardReset reports on the new PSone games now available for the PS Vita on the NA Playstation Network.
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
I don't think that 'alone' the PS1 classics are a killer feature (I'm paraphrasing here. This isn't exactly what the author says) but slowly and surely, the Vita is becoming more visible to those that may well have passed it in the street without noticing.
What I think IS significant is the whole package. One feature alone can make a small difference, but many small features together can make a big difference. I feel it's remiss for articles to focus on only one particular feature without putting it into context.
PS1 games are 'beloved'. A strong word but nevertheless true to a huge majority of the gaming public. Older games bring back memories and take us back to when we had little to worry about other than finishing our tea and scooting off to a quiet corner to lose ourselves in a world of sprites and chunky polygons. Nintendo fans know this feeling all too well, which is why I have respect for them.
But, like I said, you can't just look at that feature in isolation. There are other compelling reasons to own a Vita (putting the multimedia and online infrastructure to one side). We now have PSMobile, another compelling reason to dig this joyous chunk out of our pockets. These iOS experiences lend themselves perfectly to the commuter; the person who may otherwise leave the Vita at home and settle for a phone for their fix.
Then you have PSP games. Many of these games look and play better on the Vita than they did on the original hardware and, although I think some are overpriced, they are yet another compelling reason to own a Vita. These games still have an air of nostalgia about them. Perhaps not as powerful as PS1 classics but there nonetheless. Many people crave that genuine JRPG experience and the PSP has those people well and truly covered.
It has been said that the Vita lacks content... I can't help but wonder why, especially after the previous paragraphs. But even taking Vita games alone, that charge doesn't seem warranted. When I go to PSN I see a plethora of diverse games, some unique, some variations on what has gone before and some straight ports, but I never feel the Vita is lacking. Why is it only Vita owners seem to understand this?
There is also cross-buy and cross-play, which on the face of it is quite remarkable. It would have been so easy for Sony to just expect gamers to purchase one or the other (or both) but instead they've decided to give us 'both' versions for the price of one. Would any other company have done this? Even if only a handful of games utilise this option, it's still better than nothing.
I would have added remote play but I don't feel it's been supported sufficiently just yet to justify adding it here. We may see an increase over time of course, and it IS another plus -- albeit a small one at the moment.
So, it's not one or the other feature that makes the Vita more compelling my the week, it's the steady drip of added incentives that makes me more than happy with my purchase, and with a sterling line up of Vita exclusives heading our way this year, I see no reason to worry now or for the future.
I am happy about Gex 3 and Chrono Cross but where is my LEGEND OF DRAGOON!
Do people still not know that if you download ps1 games to your ps3 you can transfer them to your vita. I keep seeing games on lists saying they are now available that I have had on my vita since day one of the firmware.
