Playstation Vita

[NEG]

PS+ alone has made me want to spend cash on a PS3, if only because I'd assume PS4 is still ages away and PS+ itself would still be offering PS3 titles for a long time yet even if the PS4 were to pop out tomorrow.

You know, like over getting a Wii U and such.

[NEG]

I know this was covered somewhere in the thread a while back, but I'll ask anyway.

Lumines soon. My cart in the PSVita is Lumines! Which means I can replace it with something else when it arrives on Plus. But I want to keep my save/data, whats the step by step process when going from cart version to digital?

I ponder what to replace it with...Disgaeia, Persona, MvC3, SFvT...

It's slightly tricky not knowing what is going to head to PS+, or at least, any time soon.

Little update to this from what I've found on the web, basically if one were to download a digital version whilst having the retail version of the same game already on the interface, it'll overwrite/delete any of the save data you have.

Not sure if saving the save onto PC, let the digital version take over, and then transfer back the save will work. If cart version save data can even be put on PC, one source claimed cart saves require the whole system to be backed up.

They're the same game. As anyone on here lost a save with moving from physical to digital? I certainly haven't from the two games I've done that with, nor have I heard of it happening at all. Just make sure everything is up to date, job done.

[Paulando]

Both Uncharted and Gravity Daze kept my saves after going digital. Why not back the saves up to the cloud though? You have PS+.

[Aurelius]

Just finished Persona 4 The Golden.

There is an empty space in my life and heart now. Such a great game.

[LiMuBai]

Gravity Rush, Uncharted, and Everybody's Golf all OK after converting to digital. If you're worried about losing your save file, just back it up before you download the game

[Dandy_Sephy]

Making a backup first is just common sense.

I got the digital version of WipEout 2048 because it was free on PSN+, does it work with my old cart version saves? I'm afraid of booting it up out of TEH FEAR that they'll be wiped.

Uncharted's Cart Save worked perfectly with the Digital Uncharted, for me.

[strawdonkey]

WipEout worked with my old save from when I had the retail version.

By the way, those rumours of popular indie games coming to the Vita are encouraging. Most of those games would work really well on a handheld I imagine. Portable Hotline Miami would be pure bliss.

Portable Minecraft with cloud based file transferring to your PC/PS3 game would be great for a lot of Minecraft addicts

Art style aside, Dragon's Crown intrigues me because I love Golden Axe.

Excellent!

That would actually be brilliant - as good as the touchscreen versions have got, a good port of it to Vita, with cloud saving as you say would be amazing and a potential system seller.

When does Lumines go free? I know it's today, but wheeeeeeeeen!

[spaceyjase]

Wow, more indie titles would be excellent -- I think I've bought Limbo a fair few times already, a Vita version would be epic. It's an excellent little system. Oh man, Frozen Synapse is rumoured too? Exciting!

I really good N64 emulator would be a nice bit of icing on the already lovely cake. Twin-stick/shoulder button control in F-Zero X for some power-sliding fun? I don't think I'd ever play another system again

[bradigor]

Persona 4 Golden is finally mine!

See you all in 100 hours!

[The Bag]

If I want to play PSP games I own on this I have to get a digital version (re-purchase?), so are any of the PSP Monster Hunter games in the EU or US store?

[Epcotman]

Already up for free if you do a search on the store!

[NEG]

Thanks for the many confirmations.

....How do I back up to the cloud >_>

[Epcotman]

Through Content Manager?

[NEG]

Ah!

Edit: And it did back-up in under 2mins. Horray. I'll report back after downloading Lumines.

Edit 2:All my unlocked avatars/skins are intact! Horray!

Yes, you'll need to buy it on psn. IIRC one of the MH games is on the store, no idea which. It was £8 before, no idea if its still the case.

[bradigor]

Oh by the way... Urban Trials (175MB) is pretty damned good.

For all those that said Trials HD wouldn't be a good fit for Vita, well they be wrong. Urban Trials is good, it works and it makes me want a RedLynx port NOW.

[Paulando]

I had a go of the demo and I thought it was a bit shite. The physics aren't anywhere near as good as Trials, the styling is rubbish, and the framerate was all over the place.

It does make me really want a portable Trials though

[bradigor]

Oh it isn't as good as Trials, but for £7 it is plenty of fun. The hardest thing is not playing it like you'd play HD/Evolution.

What it does have is dynamic leaderboard goals within each level. Littles things such as, longest jump of a certain obstacle, speed through a checkpoint, that sort of thing. It works really well.

Its biggest issue, is that the RedLynx game does exist and it will draw comparisons.
