amazing that they are doing this non launch week.........CRAZY!

All you mfers need to be patient and wait.....fucking deals like this on launch week are unheard of.

cmon really Hotshots? Same fucking game every Playstation release.

Wipeout I dont like....MNR is for 5 year olds. These fucking games are $40 too....blow me.

I want infamous, god of war, gran turismo, GTA, Saints Row, a good Dungeon Crawler, MLB the Show (coming soon), motorstorm., burnout.....

Uncharted....yes it is probably good but I dont think it is a $50 game.....I can wait.

I don't know why but I'm still a sucker for Hot Shots.

Played the heck out of it on PSP

i agree it is a good golf game but it is not a reason to shell out $300+

But Uncharted is. And I was just pointing out other quality games that are worth picking up if you are getting the system anyway,

No games that I really want Day 1...UC looks good but I think it gets most hype BECAUSE it is the best launch game (not because it's a AAA title). I'll wait for these games to go on sale for $30, so I don't have to spend $80-90 in order to get a deal (ie Target Sale). The only reason I'm getting MLB Vita is because I can take my RTTS with me out the house and I found out I have $25 in BB reward zone points available.

MNR is the shit with all that creation stuff. GT is booty anyways. Warriors Lair is coming out next month, which is supposed to be pretty decent, and I think that there is a launch dungeon crawler as well. Motorstorm is coming out in the not too distant future. We are bound to get a God of War game with the decent success they had on the PSP. Although I have to say, I would fucking LOVE some sort of new inFamous story for the Vita. One of my absolute favorite series on this generation of consoles.

Are you implying Golden Abyss is NOT a AAA game?

I keep reading that it's a great game but no big action scenes (usual mark for UC game) and some things are forced on you...you must use touch control to climb. Why is it being sold for $50, because it's UC. I'm not saying it's a bad game but the name helps its hype.

 

[jms493]

yeah from waht I am hearing about UC:GA is that it is pretty sub par compared to what we are accustomed to from ND. GB said it was pretty apparent that a different team worked on this game and all the shit they tacked on to it to show off all the Vitas different controls make the game worse.

This is a game I wait for a price drop or borrow from someone.

Swarley: DH:Alliance is a dungeon crawler but it is $30 compared to the same game twigg, KG and I beat on the PS for around $12. Absurd.

If I were to pick this up I would want Rayman (which is more expensive then its console counterparts), MLB the show, and if F1 is a good sim I could do that as well.

I was just coming here to mention what Giant Bomb said about it. It sounds like a good game but not as good as Twigg thinks it is.


And laugh about soccer but FIFA is the best game EA Sports makes. Well, Tiger Woods is decent but those football games are not that good and if you played FIFA, you'd realize that.

I think PES 2012 is a bit better but it doesn't have Ultimate Team and that is what I'm addicted to.

I just cancelled mine, I am going to see what impressions are like before I jump in

What for? Most of these American game sites have had their Vitas since the Japan release 2 months ago. I don't think there's going to be much of anything new on the impressions front.

I know and I haven't really heard anything about it that makes me want to bust down doors to get to it either.

 

[Twigg4075]

Hot Shots already shipped from Amazon. I was able to cancel my Uncharted order. I will likely get that, MNR and Wipeout or Katamari from Target next week.

I'm still on the fence about which version to get. I've been hearing rumblings that some features like Near are only capable on the 3G version?

 

[Garrett67]

Here are all of Giant Bombs 'Quick Looks'

[Twigg4075]

Can someone point me in the direction of a definitive list of differences between the 3G and wi-fi only models? I keep hearing things like only the 3G version has GPS capabilities and that it also is the only version with the Near feature. Others say otherwise. I can't find a straight answer anywhere.

That's what I've read as well. Some think that Sony will release games that can only be played with GPS, but I think they will be few and far between. I don't see how Sony could divide their customers when they already are worried about it succeeding. Here is one example of a game that takes advantage of GPS.

 

[Garrett67]

They touched on it briefly in the Bombcast but I don't have an answer.

I thought it was wifi only because the 3G wouldn't be consistent enough, but I may have misunderstood.

I'll do some Googling

and although I cancelled my order, I might order it anyway just because I want to be able to play The Show. I bought a PS3 for The Show, I can buy a Vita for the same reason. Its just that I need a new phone and I'm eligible on 3/15.. so its a cash flow thing

Yeah that file transferring on The Show is half the reason I'm buying this at release (plus of course the man crush I have on Nathan Drake <3).
