"Hi, everyone. One of the key announcements coming out of Gamescom today is that the next PS Vita System Software Update (v1.80) is coming your way late August, and will add support for playing PSone Classics on your PlayStation Vita. I know a lot of you have been looking forward to playing original PlayStation titles on the go.
In addition, you will be able to make various setting changes while games are running and take screenshots of your gameplay.
*It might not be possible to take screenshots in some applications, or in some parts of applications.
Listed after the break are a few other new features that will be added with the 1.80 update."
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
cant wait. i only want a few ps one games. tony hawk, dave mirraBMX, road rash 3d, and GT1 or 2 would be incredible but i doubt it right.. isn't that like impossible or something...?
It's about time. This should of been ready the day the Vita was released!
Yes!
I knew it would pay off buying all the Final Fantasy PS1 games when they were half price the other month!
Back of the net.
Finally.
Also, does anyone have any issues with the current latest firmware? I think it's 1.69, but my Vita always freezes on the Friends and Messaging screens every time I go on them. This has never happened before but with this firmware.
Man it's gonna be awesome playing all the ps1 era RPG classics on my vita :) just bought Legend of dragoon and it was cheap on the PSstore, looking to transfer Grandia and FF7.
