Hopefully they start dropping some great shit on there since November is new console time.

If the Vita is any indication, we aren't likely to see any big studio IGC games besides DriveClub for PS4 for several months. Vita took 7 months to get IGC.

Man, my 250gb is pretty much full after getting The Last of Us digital edition. Going to have to delete a few games to get this next batch. Good problem to have I guess.

just one more reason gaikai is gonna be awesome. Also, since everything is handled on their side, could we possibly be able to play ps3 games on a vita? They would sell SO many if this were possible.

Game streaming to the vita was announced at E3... so we already know it's coming. However, I don't see it being very useful with many games. The Vita only has 2 shoulder buttons and the analog sticks don't click in (so no L3 and R3) so they'll have to decide on an alternate control method using the rear and front touch screens to emulate some controls. I may be surprised, but I have a feeling the lack of controls is going to limit the games worth playing on the Vita.

I thought the streaming they talked about was from the ps4 to the vita - so that "every" ps4 game would be playable on the vita. I agree they are gonna have to do something about the missing buttons, but i think there are a lot of games that its not really gonna matter for.

Did they actually mention streaming ps3 and psn games to the vita? I havent heard anything like that yet. I'd imagine the only setback would be devs having to go back to a game that they finished a long time ago, and add in new controls - or there would be some default for the missing buttons that might not be ideal.

Last time I checked - Vita wasn't selling all that much, but if you let it have the ability to basically be a ps3 when your on wifi, and the library of games just got better by 1000x.

 

[Rhezuss]

I grabbed SR3 this week for Free and thought it was a steal!

I didn't opened my PS3 for like 8 or 9 months and now i'm using it a bit more, mostly for NHL and Last of Us.

Damn hard to really enjoy the controls when you're a PC gamer but some titles are cool.

 

[raasco]

FYI, Hitman Absolution Special Edition is ending soon. Grab it if you haven't already.

The quality of free games you get with PS+ has gone downhill recently.

The quality of free games you get with PS+ has gone downhill recently.

Why would you say that? Quite a few of those games were released this year, and as you'd expect, the PS4 ones aren't even out at all. Given how much I enjoy Super Stardust, buying Resogun was a no-brainer; however, now I don't have to pay for it! Contrast has also received quite a bit of praise for its showing at PAX.

Happen to look at the list I just posted? That's a GREAT list.

They had Shadow of the Colossus and ICO this month, those two are pretty good for free HD versions.

I guess instead of quality I should have said notability. They use to release more AAA games but I've never even heard of those latest ones.

 

[Bman123]

I can't wait to play contrast, that game looked pretty cool.

 

[KaOTiK]

I'm really pumped for Resogun. I would have bought that if it wasn't a PS+ game. Also looking forward to Contrast, was going to grab it on the PC but since they pushed back Driveclub and put Contrast in its place I'm not going to complain

Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen makes me very happy. I only have plain DD and was waiting on a good deal to get the new one.

Soul Sacrifice is one of those Vita games that really made me want a Vita. I'm going to get a Vita TV (import early next year if they don't announce it for the US).

 

[gorcorps]

No kidding, Shadow of the Colossus was (IIRC) one of the more highly regarded PS2 games and it came at the end of its life. I missed it and I'm glad they made it ps3 compatible, and now free

Part of what made it good doesn't quite hold up these days, but it's still solid.

 

[gothamhunter]
