So what fills the void? Remote play on the phone only? Do you think they would go the Skylanders Trap Team route at all? Make current games run on phones\tablets?

For Sony, the push has been streaming. PS Now will come to the phones as well maybe, if remote play is well received. Between ps now and ps4 remote play, thats an awful lot of games you can play mobile. If both are able to be used on a Sony phone.

I think mobile games will become more and more phone oriented, shit like clan wars, candy crush, etc. Anything more control intensive just doesnt work on a phone or tablet. Unless you can sync it to a real controller like the ps4 remote play.

I know, just kind of makes me wonder with Vita sales low and more powerful cell phones all the time what's next for handheld gaming?

Vita hardware sales are low here because nobody is selling them due to a lack of stock after the slim hit. Sony is just stupid like that. Software sales seem to be quite good based on how quickly Vita games are coming out (10 games per month in NA.)

Evil Within started. Only survivor difficulty available to start. I'm sure it'll kick my ass anyways.

Way to go, artificially boosting replayability. I dislike a game that doesn't have all the difficulties unlocked from the start (barring Batman, because Batman).

I just fired up Playstation Now for Vita and it's nothing more than a port of the PS3 version. There's no touch-sensitivity to the application at all. What the hell? Also the sorting doesn't work; price low to high has stuff start at 4.99 and then other titles are 2.99 further down. No way in hell I'm going to pay $2 minimum (lowest I noticed) just to beta-test PS Now. fuck that.

I'm curious to know if beating Survival will unlock both Nightmare and Akumu--if so, I could still follow my original plan of using NG+ for trophy cleanup then jump from Survival to Akumu...

Why would there need to be touch?

You really do complain about everything. :D/

That sounds like mobile gaming, please don't compare it to that!

Sony is coming out with a new Android phone that will be able to remote play from the PS4 just like the Vita. Not much power is needed when the PS4 console is doing all the heavy lifting (or PS Now).

I know there are some that may not have a PS4 that would like to know, but why are you so interested in the way the Vita version of Minecraft works on this thing? You could just stream the PS4 version. Just curious.
Click to expand...
Not interested in Minecraft but remote play doesn't work too well when I am at work (crappy wifi signal). So if I was looking to play this at work on my lunch hour or something the Vita version would be much better for me.

 
The #9 Italilian Night Club is also my go to sandwich at Jimmy Johns. If I'm feeling extra hungry I go with the Gargantuan. But I just go with meat, cheese, and lettuce in it cause I'm a man that doesn't need non-manly vegetables and sauce.

I usually start games at the highest difficulty and it bums me a bit they walled it off like that, although I think one playthrough unlocks the rest. Mikami said Akumu is for the true gamer and then pulls this... 9,000/10 Therms.

The non-manly vegetables are on the #12 that others like. Avocado and sliced cucumber = NO THANKS!

I usually do the same, but at least this isn't as dumb as non-stacking difficulty trophies like in Shadows of the Damned. :shame:

<FC4 video>

With Dragon Age: Inquisition up next for me in November, I think I can wait for FC4 to drop to $20 or less in a few months. It is from Ubisoft, after all.

This was going to be a day one for me, but I think I might hold out as well now. More of Far Cry 3 isn't a bad thing, but it doesn't seem to be that much different from the bit I watched.

You do get the limited edition if you pre order (3 bonus missions DLC). I am going to keep my Best Buy pre order for this I think. For $48 plus tax and $10 back why not.

He's talking about playing the Vita version on the Vita TV though, which I don't think you'd be playing at work. Although maybe you can, and your job is way better than mine.

I wouldn't invest any money into GCU. I got the 2 years cheap deal, but I won't be surprised if they go belly up before my 2 years are done. For example when a game is released you can go to their store and think that they have no copies left, and then you leave, but really all the copies are up front locked in a cage. So bizarre.

Best Buy isn't going anywhere.

 
There's a free car for DriveClub this week.  I'm sure that will make everyone upset about them not releasing the PS+ version ecstatic.

Ok, did my lunch trip to best buy. Since you all care, I got Evil Within, Minecraft (dat GCU), the new OK Go cd, X-Men DOFP blu-ray, and an electric toothbrush. And I used a triple reward zone points coupon. I'm going to be rolling in all the points.

People still buy CDs? Also, you're so white!

Also also, I don't remember if Minecraft Vita is cross play but if it is I'll play with you.

That's true. I guess with $10 back and GCU, it's like an instant price drop.

If I didn't have DA: Inquisition incoming, I might be more open to getting FC4 day-one.

Also, I highly doubt those bonus missions will have trophies. :nottalking:

$20 BB error in my favor with Reward Zone and it looks like they finally got my account fixed. I'm considering grabbing an eshop card to get Shovel Knight. I don't like spending $$$ on Nintendo stuff anymore so the freebie might be a good time for this. Man I wish that game was on the Vita at this point.
Click to expand...
Shovel Knight will definitely be on everything at some point. Just be patient.

 
Vigilante said:
Nothing on Gamefly, Tyler, at least not at the usual time that monthly sales start. I'll check again around 3pm EST.
Click to expand...
Yeah, I would have put money on there being a monthly sale today. Guess I don't know GF as well as I thought I did...

Ah I missed that. I guess though you could pick the game up later at work on your hand held Vita though if you bought the via version.

Is Jimmy John's any good? If so, what's the sandwich to get? They just opened one close to my work, might have to try it out at some point.
Click to expand...
No real need to chime in at this point, but yeah Jimmy John's is good. They don't don't do anything fancy, just good flavored sandwiches and good bread. Only thing I don't care for is their house mustard, it's way too bitter for me so I get no mustard and just grab a couple regular yellow mustard packets to put on it.

Also, they go crazy with the Mayo usually. I always say light on the mayo so that my sandwich is not swimming in it.

 
I hate when they make ultimate editions of plus games. Just give me a dlc bundle please. I may get in on that sound shapes deal though. Really thought it would have been on plus by now, but I'm pretty sure, without looking, that the dlc adds up to more than the plus price anyway.

I was sure this was going to spark a massive mayo debate.

the only game i am waiting on is the order 1886, because i got in on the bestbuy price mistake/glitch on the CE. I don't even own a ps4 yet, and i do not plan on buying one until it drops to $200 pre tax

 
I'll probably pre-order Far Cry 4 if I get all the gift cards I'm due at some point.  Probably the only other game I'll get this year, except maybe Shadow Warrior next week (though, again, I actually need to get the gift cards so I can pay for the games)

 
I can't decide on Far Cry 4. I want to wait for a sale but then again $48 day 1 with GCU and a $10 cert plus I can trade it for $40 probably within a couple weeks...
