Are there just certain games that support remote play? I was about to get really happy if I could manage the 220 from my Vita when I was on the road but it said "This content cannot be used during remote play" when I tried to boot it up.

Seems like a great feature if some of the games I like support it.

Unfortunately, yes, only certain games. I'm sure there is a wiki or list around of all the supported titles. From what I understand it's not a very extensive list.

It's up to the developer to incorporate the feature.

I haven't come across a specific one for the Vita yet that I like enough to recommend. I do like to look at listings on metacritic.com and click through to the links of various gaming sites for articles on new or upcoming games.

I just took a closer look at that lost you posted Bill. Why the fuck would anyone want to play a SingStar game remotely?

By the way, finally played some co-op Unit 1313 with Handle It earlier and that shit is a lot of fun.

Game is a blast and plays EXTREMELY well online.

Can't wait to play through some more missions with you, man!


You guys need to pick this game up if you own a Vita... just sayin'.

I'm just waiting for the next round of sales, and b2 get 1s, or Buy 1 get one half off. The Toys R Us one from last past week didn't have virtua tennis, so I'm just waiting on a good deal to grab Unit 13 , virtua tennis or something else.

Didn't see any deals for vita games this week

Anyone still playing Hot Shots? I just got to the 5th series, unlocked "Legacy of Golf Links" (pictured below). I am finding that I am having to play a round several times in order to win. The courses are getting more difficult, as is the competition. I also unlocked 'Easy Mode' but I'll never use it.


As you progress in the single player , you will find that there are two Versus tournaments. In order to unlock the second one, you will need to earn a certain number of crowns as you're playing through the tourneys. I'm not sure how many you need but here is a listing of what is needed in each round to obtain the crown. I know that you need 4 wins out of 5 in order to unlock the first Versus mode. It could be that you need 4 crowns in order to unlock the second, but I don't know that.

 

1-1: win with 2000 points or more
1-2: use a rising shot
1-3: Hit GIR in 1 Stroke on a Par 4 and Win
1-4: win with par on frequency 100%
1-5: win with over 3 bogeys
1-vs: win with an eagle
2-1: just impact frequency 50% or more
2-2: fairway keep 100%
2-3: add a spin on all your shots
2-4: win with 2000 points or more
2-5: don't use a spin shot
2-vs: win within the first 3 holes
3-1: win with 10m or more putt/par or better
3-2: use a pin shot
3-3: win with 3 birdies in a row
3-4: don't land in any roughs
3-5: win with 3 birdies in a row
3-vs: all holes must be done within 1 putt
4-1: total score must be -3 or less
4-2: fairway keep must be 80% or more
4-3: par on frequency 100%
4-4: total score must be -4 or less
4-5: win with no OB/WB
4-vs: win with consecutive birdies
5-1: 1m better pin (par on or better)
5-2: don't use spin shots
5-3: par on frequency 100%
5-4: get 1500 points or more
5-5: get a chip in birdie or better
5-vs: no bogeys
6-1: 2m better pin (par on or better)
6-2: no OB/WB
6-3: no bankers
6-4: 3m better pin (par on or better)
6-5: get a birdie or better on the last hole
6-vs: don't use power mode

I got pissed after my last Daily Tourney info didn't post and haven't played it in about a week. How do you hit a "rising shot" by the way?

Don't know actually. If a rising shot means what I think it means, don't you hit down on the D-pad at impact (hit lower on ball) to make it go higher?

That's not it. That just puts back spin on the ball.

Here's a video of one.

That guy happened to get a hole-in-one with one.

Apparently you need to hold down during the power portion of the swing and then up during contact. Plus you character has to be a level 3. Seems hard as fuck for something you need to do so early on in the game.

[Garrett67]

Then I guess I don't know what a rising shot is..

Oh, you posted a video. Let me watch and learn
