Star Wars: Renegade Squadron Hands-on

In total, there are more than a million different combinations to be made in conjunction with a character's customizable aesthetics, which include the ability to choose your race, outfit, insignia, and plenty more.

Other cool features planned for the final release include leaderboards and player stats, new weapons like the tri-shot pistol, orbital strike, and carbonite freeze gun, and a unique single-player mode that boasts eight ground and three space maps. The best news of all, though, is that Renegade Squadron handles a whole lot better than the PSP version of Battlefront 2 did. It's much easier to target now and characters run around the screen at a much better clip. Granted, there are some weird collision issues going on with structures (it is sometimes hard to discern where a wall ends and another begins), but development is still early and the plan is to have most of the tech issues fixed up by release.

I've got Star Wars battlefront elite squadron on my vita must have been when they flipped the switch and allowed all PsOne classics on vita hence why I've got metal gear special ops as well but for some reason they turned it off and certain classics and I guess psp games can't be downloaded directly bit stupid but yeah definitely just downloaded Star Wars straight to my vita.

How were you able to get elite squadron?

KryptoniteTail3665d ago

Crappy deal anyway. Old ass and mostly crappy games don't sell for $40. Several of those recently went for just a couple bucks apiece but in this "bundle" they're over $6. LOL nope.

hkgamer3665d ago

dont care about the price talk, but the vita and not being able to download specific titles is getting stupid, especially if you dont own a ps3. cant remember if you can use pc or not. its also stupid why you cant download stuff on ps4 for the vita.

the store should contain warnings.

anyway for the people who has purchased this game and doesnt have a ps3 to download it. then go to sony customer service and complain. they probably will credit you back the money and even give you the game(s) for free. could be different for us, but uk customer service has been pretty good to me.

Xof3665d ago

Rather than warnings, you simply should not be able to purchase content you're unable to play. IE, if you don't have a PSN account tied to a PS4, you can't buy PS4 games, etc., etc.

gokuking3664d ago

They've fixed it now. You can download all of the games on Vita through the Download List.

Multitap | The impractical world of 4-player portables

Graham Russell: "Generally, when you’re looking to play a game with friends, it’s much easier to do it on a home console. With portables, each player usually needs a system, and most need a copy of the game (and maybe some funky cables, if you go back enough). Generally, people haven’t bothered to take advantage of the technology. Of course, if you’re a crazy person like me, that’s more of an incentive than a barrier."
