I finally ordered one because of the $50 credit amazon is giving. Can't wait to get it in the mail tomorrow. Anyone have any recommendations on which games I should start with?

RmanX10004383d ago

Persona 4 Golden. Comes out October 23rd

PoSTedUP4383d ago

i just got mine. try the Dynasty Warriors NEXT demo,incredible fast pace fighting game with great crisp graphics and lots of enemys on screen (30-40) utilizing the psz's processing power. uncharted is great, resistance, gravity rush etc. i personally got it for Persona 4 golden, but am also anticipating the upcoming games like COD.

gorebago4383d ago

Dynthey warriors gets old faster than the console versions. The touch screen gimmicks get old fast too. I loved it at first though but couldn't wait to get rid of it after ten hours.

miyamoto4382d ago

Looks like everyone is having fun of all places! on N4G?!

I'll crash the party with Gravity Rush, MGS HD Collection,Ragnarok and Phantasy Star Online 2
for hundreds of hours of gaming vita

Keep the Vita spirit alive!

Sanquine904383d ago

Unit 13 / Rayman origins/ Uncharted golden abyss/ resistance burning skies ( not typical resistance more if you are into the shooters) / gravity rush ( THIS ONE FOR SURE The best game ) , Mortal kombat is also a lot of fun!:D

metsgaming4383d ago (Edited 4383d ago )

same but mine didnt ship yet, if it doesnt by tomorrow i will have to call them. I got uncharted to start with will get wipeout later. I will try the demos to see what else to get or stay away from. Might get Unit 13 if the demo is good.

jujubee884383d ago

Try out:

"Gravity Rush" if you like actiony, cel shaded games.

"Unit 13" if you like shooters.

"Metal Gear Solid HD Collection" if you like or have never played MGS 2 and 3.

"Tales from Space Mutant Blobs Attack" for a good downloadable platforming game for $8 bucks.

"Touch My Katamari" for a game with fun mechanics and colorful art designs.

"Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational" for a sports game with a good amount of online play and extra content.

"Mortal Kombat PS VITA" for a 60fps and fully featured fighting game.

"Uncharted: Golden Abyss" for an Uncharted experience on the go.

I am not sure what you might like, so I just gave a small analysis of the games I have played or demoed on my VITA. :)

Sanquine904383d ago

Well done! Have all of them except hot shots golf. Must i consider purchasing it?

jujubee884383d ago

I suggest getting it for new right now on Amazon since they are having it on sale for $20,

http://www.amazon.com/Hot-S...

Just be sure to buy it new since the online pass will devalue and just jack up the price for a used copy, if you want to play online.

Ron_Danger4383d ago

Gravity Rush just came out and its awesome. Resistance is good for the first dual stick FPS (the online is worth the money. Very fast paced) Wipeout looks and plays exactly like a PS3 game. There's 3 free Augmented Reality games in the store. And almost every single game has a demo in the store since all the games can be downloaded

Information Minister4383d ago

You need to get Wipeout 2048. Awesome game!

I wish Sony would do some DLC for Wipeout HD with content from the Vita game. I love the track design in Wipeout 2048.

ThanatosDMC4383d ago

Ninja Gaiden
Uncharted:GA (turn off motion controls)
MGS HD + Peace Walker

Remote play for PS1 games
Vagrant Story
Front Mission 3

guitarded774383d ago (Edited 4383d ago )

Hey, my buddy ThanatosDMC showed up to the conversation!

To everyone, thank't for the suggestions... ++bubbles for helpful.

I'm kicking myself in the butt. Yesterday amazon had Wipeout 2048 for $20 and I didn't buy it. Now it's back to $35.

extermin8or4383d ago

rayman:origins, uncharted are great I just got gravity rush today and it's brilliant so far :) and Motorstorm RC is a must buy over here in the eu it's in a sale aswell but it was less than a fiver anyway and's great fun :p

TheFirstClassic4383d ago

If you never had a psp, you can download plenty of those with better controls. Peace walker, portable ops, and monster hunter are good examples of games that can really utilize the second analog stick. Escape plan should be even better now since its had patches and added free content.

fei-hung4383d ago

Unit 13 is a must have. It is a cross between MGS and COD. awesome awesome game!

Sithlord-Gamble4383d ago

Uncharted & Gravity Rush is a must buy.

Unit 13, MK, Resistance and hot shots golf is also a good purchase.

Currently i have:

Uncharted, Gravity Rush, Resistance, Unit 13, MK, MGS HD, Ninja Gaiden, Hot Shots Golf, Dungeon Hunter, Ridge Racer, Modnation, Lumines, Lil Deviants, Escape Plan, Stardust, Plants vs Zombies, Chess, and Motorstorm RC.

I dont regret any of them.

You have plenty of great games to choose from.

More sales = wider fanbase.

Ben_Giff4383d ago

Maybe it will finally start getting some support. It's a great system, but -- in spite of what Jack Tretton tells you -- the library is sorely lacking at this point.

Ron_Danger4383d ago

I know right... I hate having to choose between the 40+ games that are already out

Ben_Giff4383d ago

I'll take quality over quantity any day of the week. The Vita is still missing its killer app(s). "Uncharted: GA" was supposed to be stellar, but it was tacky and only mildly enjoyable.

Right now, its best game is "Rayman Origins," which of course is a port of a console game.

Take a look here and tell me it isn't lacking: http://www.metacritic.com/b...

Yes, I know it's a new console, but the launch was a lot weaker than I expected (though I would argue it's stronger than the 3DS launch by far).

extermin8or4383d ago

@Ben_Giff Uncharted's not that bad it's not as good as uncharted 2, although i'd say it's story flows better than uncharted 3's story (3's still better ofc) it feels more like the 1st game which isn't really a bad thing just it lacks the naughty dog feel to it; I'd rather Sony Bend had made more resistance following grayson and/or continued with syphon filter on vita :p but there are a fair number of games and rayman may well be a console port but I've always felt that 2D rayman like 2D platformers are better suited to handheld devices no matter what they are than full console games :p

Hicken4383d ago

Gravity Rush is arguably one of the best games I've played this year. Then there's Uncharted, Unit 13, Rayman, and plenty of other games. Being a port of a console game doesn't disqualify it, especially if it's good. And Mortal Kombat, The Show, BlazBlue, UMVC3, and others are DEFINITELY good ports. There's also the Metal Gear HD collection and Katamari, which isn't a port.

And there are plenty of great upcoming games, from the right-around-the-corner P4: The Golden, to stuff further along like PS All Stars and ACIII.

Don't forget about the PSP library, either.

Granted, I'm still waiting on full remote play and PS1 functions, but in the meantime, I'm more than satisfied with Gravity Rush, P3P, and MLB 12: The Show.

Oh, and please don't use metacritic as a guide for quality EVER. Its selective practices for including reviews is poor, and critical reviews don't always reflect personal enjoyment.

joeorc4383d ago

"the library is sorely lacking at this point."

How can really anyone really say that about a game system that has been on the Market less than 6 months?

when it already Has over 40 games in it's release window?
not to mention How many PSP games are already playable and PSP mini's to top it off, the AR games already being released for the machine. what do people expect for a new released system with this short point of time on the market?

that just does not make sense, to say it's "library is sorely lacking"

sorely lacking im my opinion would be like if the PSVita had like 10 games total.

Skateboard4383d ago (Edited 4383d ago )

There is mad #### on the Vita for its four months in the US.

Edit #### as in good ####, LOL : )

Y_51504383d ago (Edited 4383d ago )

Haha love it! That's the way to #### stuff!

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

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.

Record of Agarest War 2 announced for PS3

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.

Demons Souls5120d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905120d ago (Edited 5120d ago )

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.

ClownBelt5120d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5120d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495120d ago

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.

RedDevils5120d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5120d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
