I think your getting it mixed up with Cross Play. Cross Controller was just recently announced.

Edit: I also forgot Cross Save which allows you use the same save file on both systems stored in the cloud.

He's wrong, there isn't a single PS3/Vita game currently out that makes use of both screens for gameplay at the same time.

Up until today, there were only two games that I knew of that were going to support cross-controller and they were Guacamelee and the new Sly Cooper. So this LBP2 news is a pleasant surprise.

This is actually the first time I've ever heard of cross-controller support, so knowing that there are a few games ready to support it is pretty cool!

I think he's referring to remote play and games like God of War where you can play the PS3 game via the Vita. Now that I see these options, Sony really does have quite a few irons in the fire with Vita and PS3 cross-compatibility. Let's hope they can convince 3rd parties to utilize it and not make it an afterthought.

Unfortunately, their track record for doing such is less than stellar. I'm looking at you, PS3D Monitor.

i really dig the prinny game

If it's like all of the other big DLC for LBP games, you don't need to pay for the DLC to play the community levels using the new stuff. You do get the Media Molecule-made levels and the tools to make levels with the new features yourself, but it doesn't cost anything to check them out with what the users have made with it. That's how it's worked with all of the other DLC that has added big new things to the way levels are made (paint gun, water, Move controls, and probably Vita support).

That's sort of what this is saying, but it's not worded very well at all.

Kinda off topic but didn't Dreamcast have something similar to a 2 screen gameplay? I remember playing some mini game on the memory card. I think it was sky of arcadia.

It had the VMU.

I'm currently building a Wiki Thread for the PS3 forum where we can document retail save compatability with PSN versions of those games, which is a lot more involving than I thought at first since there could be more SKUs than just the normal release that could all be different versions as far as saves are concerned. I'll post a link when it's ready, but this will be an interesting list to see how it evolves over time.

Hasnt sony been talking about cross controller since the psp? Lol about time. I remember the mgs4 rumor with psp being a controller.

vmu. like sonic chaos. i was two hours late.

Thanks Frisky. Already got a lot of the games you listed on sale (interest in the Lumines and Dungeon Hunter Price drops), but very interested to see what else we get. Lots of PSN exclusives on my want list.

Why not?

I always find these comments especially interesting when they come from someone who doesn't have many trophies.

I agree.

I rather the game not have pointless tasks or filling a list to give a platinum.

With the prices of memory cards, I'm going physical for the foreseeable future. It also allows the chance for re-sale.

I'm interested in what the price of Lumines might be and I wonder if the price drop on Doctor Who includes the Vita version.
