Playstation Vita Discussion Thread

Apparently a new Vita game was revealed in the latest issue of Famitsu called Soul Sacrifice. It's a first party Sony title, but not much is known about it, except that it will be an action game. The odd thing is they made a big deal out of it with a six page ad, which is highly unusual. IGN is currently speculating that it may be a Demon's Souls title (as Sony apparently owns the name) but I kind of doubt it.

There has been a lot of buzz about Soul Sacrifice being related to the two Souls games. I'd say to keep your expectations low (remember Game Heaven?).

This thread at NeoGAF is intriguing though: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=470800

Looks Awesome, but most of famitsu posted games never make it to the rest of the world. Japanese only launches..still waiting for valkyria chronicles 3. :S
keeping my hopes up for persona 4 golden...and there are many others that they announced that still arent out yet.

Another good looking game is Blade & Soul (ps3) come on ncsoft. We need an Operation Rainfall for the Playstation platforms, Its working for the wii....xenoblade, the lost story...etc

Yeah, I think it's doubtful that it's related to either of the two Souls games. Could be, but I dunno. Can't say I remember anything happening with Game Heaven- just remember watching a video for it and going "okay?".

It may be a Japan only game, but it is a Sony game, and the ads (and website) both have a lot of English in them (which isn't typical- normally there's some English words here and there, but not completely translated sentences). I think it has a chance of being released elsewhere.

I hope your right, but doubtful...still waiting on Ragnarok Odyssey too :S

Was just playing with Paint Park on the vita it's a simple little sketch program I quite liked it even though it's very basic but you can't beat free, I'm hoping it's a sign to come for more vita apps.

I was worried a little earlier when I couldn't get everybody's golf to find the server but it seems to be fine now (guess they were working on it), to check I just played a couple of the online tournaments just as the date switched so I got to be the first to play on one of them.

Also got my first crown in single player.

Ugh, not sure what just happened. Was messing with Paint Park and tried the online mode and realized it was Ad Hoc. Got out of the app and my wi-fi would not connect. I finally just shut the Vita off after trying to reset my wi-fi, router and it worked again. Not sure what the issue was.

Anyone else experience an error like this?

I found this awesome deal. It doesn't start for a few weeks but if this post is correct then Kmart is going to have one heck of a vita game sale in the coming weeks.

You have to sign up for their email newsletter or what ever. Then they will give you two coupons one for $15 and another for $25 they can be used together on two game: Uncharted and Marvel vs Capcom. So if this actually is correct you could nab uncharted for around $10 with tax and .99 shipping!

You don't have that quite right. You don't get a coupon to use on those games. Rather, you buy those games at full price and then get coupons to use on a future purchase. If it's like such coupons from them in the past, they will have a very short time limit within which to use them. Like a week. Plus you won't be able to use them right away. They'll be valid the following week, most likely.
