Re: The PS Vita pre-launch roundtable

What was boring about it. Did you play through the entire demo, or just a little bit?

Re: The PS Vita pre-launch roundtable

The entire demo. It just felt like a combat-centric Bayonetta style game and I was hoping that the gravity mechanic would've been explored more laterally. But hey, it's just a demo. Not sold on it though.

I totes wanna get a Vita for P4 though. Mfffffffff.

Re: The PS Vita pre-launch roundtable

Yeah, it is just a demo, but apparently there is alot more to it than what is shown in the demo. Devs were actually inspired by Crackdown, believe it or not. Yeah, P4 on Vita sounds great, I do hope that we hear about more RPG's for the system.

Re: The PS Vita pre-launch roundtable

What's the deal with "totes" being in the vernacular now? I'd never heard it used that way until yesterday, when I began reading this blog from someone who had never seen an episode of LOST, and watched the last season without knowing what was going on. This person used "totes" quite a few times.

So, cool kids, tell me...what's up with that word being used in that manner?

Re: The PS Vita pre-launch roundtable

I have no clue...I honestly didnt understand what Toasty meant with "totes", i thought it was a misspelling.

Go back to your rocking chairs, gramps.

Re: The PS Vita pre-launch roundtable

Sheez! You guys need to get out more! F'real!

Anyway, this is a 4-year-old concept video for Gravity Rush/Daze. It was called Gravite. The music and overall look is so Ghibli it hurts.

Re: The PS Vita pre-launch roundtable

Urban Dictionary defines totes as short for totally. Checked after posting.


And yeah, I played a few minutes of the Gravity Rush demo on a Vita at Gamestop, and was kinda meh. The trailer looks really good, though, and it DOES remind me of Bayonetta in a way, including the appararent antagonist also being female.


Also, if that concept video is four years old, what hardware were they running it on? I'm guessing the Vita was not even close to being finalized, if it was even a twinkle in Sony's eye at that point.

Re: The PS Vita pre-launch roundtable

I had fun doing a 100% social link run of P4 but I'm not sure I'd wanna spend another 90 hours on it.

Re: The PS Vita pre-launch roundtable

After a bit of digging (on the Playstation Blog, natch), I discovered that it was originally being developed for the PS3. Actually, I didn't dig at all. There was an article/interview on the front page.

Re: The PS Vita pre-launch roundtable

I thought i had actually mentioned that this was originally in development for the PS3 but i must have forgot to post that part. And again, their inspiration for the game is Crackdown; so expect your growth in the game to be based on your desire to explore the environments too.

Re: The PS Vita pre-launch roundtable

Paid off my layaway for the Vita today. Got a 32 gig card, Lumines ($25 used!), Mod Nation Racers for $17, and a $50 PSN card.

Re: The PS Vita pre-launch roundtable

$200, effective tomorrow.

Any takers? I love mine. You should love one too.

Re: The PS Vita - price drop ($200) Aug 21st

Before it launched I was really into it, I love the hardware. I'm still intrigued but I wanna see what they bring the memory cards down to before I jump in (I'm gonna be mostly shopping digital on it)

Re: The PS Vita - price drop ($200) Aug 21st

I talked to Magus about this a while back and he warned me not to buy. I'd like to play Gravity Rush and have a nicer system to play my PSOne Classics on, but what else Vita-exclusive is there?
