Why would it? It's practically DoA5, which is on the PS3.

Stellar Inertia · Mar 22, 2013

Thanks you guys I will get it soon. My memory card is actually full right now for once. So I need to finish up Gravity Rush DLC and then transfer it over and Ill probably pick it up then. So did everyone that has DOA+ actually pay retail?

lupe guillotine · Mar 23, 2013

Well, I just bought Atelier Totori Plus: The Adventurer of Arland for the Vita. My god, i need another memory card. I also feel like buying Dead or Alive 5 Plus for the Vita since the demo is so good too.

What's the size for AT+? It says 100kb on the web store, which I'm guessing isn't right...

^Was already posted, but thanks. Amazing month for them for people that like indie and a little bit more niche titles. Awful month for those looking for AAA titles.

Yes, SpiritualRemains is correct. The 100kb size is actually the size of the costume pack its bundle with.

oh , I am sorry . I missed that may be because I didn't check the thread as usual as used to .

Anyway , I wish we will have somthing better than them .

Slade · Mar 23, 2013

Be sure to save back up your Vita game to your PC or upload the save to the cloud if you want to make room on the vita memory card before deleting the game as that also deletes the save(which is really dumb).

Okami and Zero Escape are two A+ titles in my book so that's a nice drop for EU folks, I'll look forward to seeing what we'll be getting here in the States.

Post a review of AT+ after you get a chance to play it some. Very interested in it, but the price tag is delaying my purchase for now (not because I think it's overpriced, but because my wallet is crying.)

Hopefully the US gets Virtues Last Reward. Personally I liked 999 more, but this games still pretty amazing and it'd be nice to get more people playing it.

Agreed. More people need to play it so we get more of this genre in the US!

No, more people need to get it so we can get VLR2 DAMMIT

The game sold more than well enough for another sequel, The series creator on Twitter said he was very pleased.

At this point we need new Visual Novels getting released here.

I've been hoping J&D and R&C would come to Vita; I'd probably actually play them on there.

999 and VLR are both exceptional.
I hadn't heard another in the series was a possibility - great news to wake up to!

while i loved zero escape: vlr, i'd much prefer a different full title on ps+ that i haven't played.

[/QUOTE]

I recall hearing that 999 was a gamble, but sold so well that when VLR was on it's way, reprints of 999 now list as part one of the 'Zero Escape' series and that a third game was likely unless VLR totally bombed.

Velo214 · Mar 23, 2013

iv got both 999 and vlr. i just bought and started vlr last night and so of course it should be ps+ soon.
i remember 999 being a bit more gory already tho, especially at the beginning, but its still good.
My wife and I are both taking turns, i try to do the escapes and she does the novel portions

Tourista · Mar 23, 2013

not the thread i'd normally post this in, but we've had so much quality persona talk...

anyone receive an email about a videogame focused goldbox sale this tuesday at amazon? were there any game hints? i didn't get it for some reason, though a coworker did and mentioned it to me after, sadly, deleting it.

wondering if there's any chance lightning might strike a four-leaf clover and P4G could be had for $20

Graff^ · Mar 23, 2013

Never say never and all that, but the chances of that happening strike me as pretty much infinitesimal.

handsomepete · Mar 23, 2013

Picked up those Capcom Classics collections and have been playing around with them off and on. They're pretty awesome if anyone was wondering. Well put together with good emulation and a nice collection of games between the two of them. Next best thing to having an actual emulator.

I will say however that Captain Commando is considerably lamer than I remember. Still a fun beat em up, but I bet an intern made it in a weekend.

htz · Mar 23, 2013

Automatic download of purchased content from the PS Store website will be coming in May 2013 for EU. I'm guessing the US will have around the same timetable. Information was provided from release notes of the 4.40 PS3 firmware update.

Main features in system software update version 4.40

System software update 4.40 will allow users to download content purchased from our online store to their PS3. This feature is not available yet and will be activated in May 2013. Keep an eye on eu.playstation.com for a detailed guide explaining how to make the most of this feature.

The wireless stereo headset (CECHYA-0080 / CECHYA-0086) and the stereo headset (CECHYA-0088) now support PlayStation 2 Classics that have been downloaded from PlayStation Store.

[Closed Captions] has been added as a feature under (Video Settings).

System software stability during use of some features has been improved.

I got Alpha 3 Max since it was only $5, but the d-pad on the Vita is so small that it's less responsive than I was hoping. Now I kind of wish I'd just gotten the collection that has the OG SF2 instead...

Awwww yeahhhhh

For some reason I thought that feature would never make it to ps3. I presume a this + feature?

Yeah I kinda know what you mean regarding the pad. I'm definitely liking the Capcom collections. Particularly Ghosts n Goblins / Ghouls n Ghosts. But when I tried SF2, I dunno if its just me but I'm having a hard time with the DPad. Used to pull off uppercuts like nothing back in the day but now I feel like I'm even having trouble comfortably charging Guile LOL. Maybe I'm just rusty or not used to the pad yet.

I also remember enjoying Gunsmoke and Section Z immensely on the NES but it doesn't feel the same now, for some reason...

Well, I'm having fun with em even still

Halo05 · Mar 24, 2013

It isn't worth trying to play fighters on the PSP. I don't have a Vita yet but I can't imagine that the situation is much better.

Back in the day, Capcom packed a little PSP dpad overlay with some of their fighters in Japan but I don't know how much they helped.

Bring on Street Fighter Alpha Resurrection/Remixed/whatever for XBLA/PSN.

plus1zero · Mar 24, 2013

I'm on the fence for P4G. I watched a review, it looked insanely deep and overwhelming. However, I've heard nothing but good things about it?

Luxuria · Mar 24, 2013

Trust me, it's worth it. You'll be able to understand everything there is to do. It might seem overwhelming, but it really isn't. You can play the game how you'd like. Heck, you can skip out on all the social parts of the game if you want to.

But the social aspect of P4 is so awesome!! But yeah it really isn't overwhelming once you get into it.

It eases you into it fairly slowly, so it shouldn't get that overwhelming until they just let you loose to decide how to spend each day. The feature that lets you see what everybody did on that day is a good guide for what you could or should do each day.

wilflare · Mar 24, 2013

my $30 PSN credit from BestBuy just came in

not sure if I wanna wait for P4G to get another price drop.. or just jump on it now.
was thinking of getting P3P and some other Capcom PSP titles too

plus1zero · Mar 24, 2013

I'm leaning closer...is it a turn-based RPG? Also with Disgaea 4 coming to PS+, what are the chances of getting P4G?

Luxuria · Mar 24, 2013

I don't see it happening. Persona 4 Golden is the best selling game on the Vita. Yeah, it is turn based.

[quote name='plus1zero']I'm leaning closer...is it a turn-based RPG? Also with Disgaea 4 coming to PS+, what are the chances of getting P4G?[/QUOTE]

Disgaea 3 is the one coming to PS+. Disgaea 4 isn't out on the Vita. Chances of getting P4G is the same as getting any other game. If you really are wanting to play it then go ahead and buy it and enjoy it now. You never know what games we will get. If/When we even do you never know if you won't have a lot of other games to play and miss out on playing it.

Slade · Mar 24, 2013

There aren't too many games I would put in the leagues of legends like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6 being a long time RPG player.

I'd easily put P4G right along side them and readily recommend it to anyone that owns a Vita.

plus1zero · Mar 24, 2013

Ughh I might just bite on it then

you sold me

Well one last thing..how's the story?

Luxuria · Mar 24, 2013

One of the best JRPG stories you will ever play. It's fantastic. You'll want to keep playing. You'll WANT to know what happens next. You'll fall in love with the characters, too.
