TheMightyEthan Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) I have this one, and I like it a lot. I can still reach the rear touchpad with my middle fingers without problem. *Edit* - Looks like it may not be made anymore, though.

TCP Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I saw one of those at EB Games this weekend, so maybe there's more out in the wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielpholt Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Picked up Stealth Inc yesterday, courtesy of PS+. Seems like it could be a pretty fun game, i'm just not sure the Vita is the platform for it. I still can't get over how beautiful Killzone looks on the thing. Granted its not the fastest shooter in the world, but it looks insane and plays pretty well too. It doesn't hurt that i'm pretty good at it either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Killzone really impressed me. I like that it is not too fast as I don't think I could cope with it. Also, Killzone games have always had a degree of heft to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Purchased Killzone Mercs. Anyone else? Not played it since the Beta started so not sure how friends, clans whatever work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I don't understand what that remote play PS4 was supposed to be doing. Why wouldn't you just connect the PS4 directly to the TV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 PS4 is in the living room. The boys come home and want to play it but... Dang it all to hell, the parents are watching some sci-fi action flick. Oh well. Knock the PlayStation 4 on, grab a couple of controllers and remote play the PS4 on your bedroom telly via PS Vita TV.

TheMightyEthan Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Ah, that makes sense. The commercial didn't do a good job of representing that, since it looked like the PS4 and Vita TV were in the same room, leaving me going "why not just take out the middle man?"

TCP Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I HAVE NO WORDS. I'm confused, a little scared, BUT I WANT ONE NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Ok I've had time to let this digest. I was caught off guard, I had no idea there was going to be a pre-TGS conference. The PS Vita TV is... a brilliant fucking move from Sony. I see lots of Kotaku commentors saying this is a dumb, but I don't think they get it. You need to think of this as a $100 (potentially less in NA... that is, if we get it) remodel of the PS Vita. For that price point they'll sell a lot of these, which will make developing for the Vita a safer bet for developers... which means more Vita games. I can see this being sort of an entry level Vita. I have yet to meet someone who actually owns a Vita and doesn't love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) I'm confused how it's going to work with the touch inputs many games require. Though if it's really $100 I could totally see myself getting this. Though I'd prefer they did Vita-to-PS4 crossplay so I didn't have to buy more hardware. *Edit* - Either way, Gravity Rush on the TV? Yes please. *Edit 2* - Just saw that it only outputs up to 720p/1080i. What is this, 2008? I get that it's a cheap ass micro console thing, and I definitely don't expect the games to be rendered at that high res, but seriously.

Thursday Next Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Also Gravity Rush is not supported at launch... Ouch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Hopefully it adds DS4 support later on. That'll take care of a lot of the touch screen problems. The PS4 -> Vita TV support seems awesome, we only have one TV at the moment, but it'd be great to get a bedroom TV and do some PS4ing in there. I wonder if the planned PS3 remote play to Vita support means we'll be able to stream PS3 games to other TVs as well?

madbassman39 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) The biggest reason I haven't bought a Vita is because I don't like Handheld gaming. I'd rather play on a TV and don't commute enough to need one on the go. I just would like to play games such as Assassins Creed: Liberation, Uncharted, and Killzone Merc. If a lack of touch input means I can't play those games, I'll hold off on buying it right now. EDIT: Why wouldn't they make a PS Vita Paid app for your PS3? I would pay $50 for an app on the PS3 to play Vita games. There must be something more to it than I'm aware of.

Vecha Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Finally got a Vita. Got the Walking Dead bundle...plan on getting P4G soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecha Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 This may be a stupid question...But, I have a USB charger in my car...where you just plug in a usb into a carcharger...port. And that allows me to charge both my Wife's Iphone and my Android. I notice with my ps vita that I have to plug in the vita's USB attachment into the wall charger....could I just stick it into the car charger? Or would/could that fry it?No way in hell I'm gonna try it out unless I find out before hand if it's ok lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 This is on the Sony website: You can also charge your system by connecting it to a USB device such as a computer using the USB cable. When charging your system using a USB device, turn off the power completely. You cannot charge your system when it is in standby mode. To turn off the power completely, press and hold the power button for two seconds, and then select [Power Off] on the screen that appears. so it should be OK, though by the sounds of it not that useful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday Next Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I think the reason they say that is that the power output of the cigarette lighter etc. is not enough to keep up with the power drain. I've certainly found that charging through anything other than the power brick is slow as molasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yeah, it's not that it's actually going to hurt it, it's just it can't charge fast enough to keep up with use so your battery will still go down over time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
