However, it's not, currently, going to be all your dreams desire. It requires updates to the PS3 copy of the game that the publisher would have to work on, and thus far it's only been shown off with simple games, Peggle for instance. The system has been hacked to open up this feature, with it apparently being able to run things like RDR, but with huge imput lag and I rather suspect utterly killing the battery life. Basically, don't pin any hopes on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted February 21, 2012 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2012 In other Vita related news, Fifa is pretty good on it. The rear touch shooting is cool once you get comfortable with it - although it forced me, for instance, to hold the Vita in the awkward manner I've disliked since day one holding it. Front touch can be used for passing, which means you can get really sweet with through balls if you've nimble enough fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanvilla_1994 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Regarding Fifa, do you have to use the touchscreens or can you use buttons instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted February 21, 2012 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2012 You can play it like any other version of Fifa, although in the time I'd played it I didn't clock how they'd solved the problem of not having twin shoulder buttons.

briggaman Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I did what I said I wouldn't do and ended up pre-ordering one of these a few days ago. It got delivered yesterday so I had a little play with it last night. It really is a nicely made piece of kit and the screen is fantastic. I've only got Virtua Tennis for it at the moment, yet it is really good. Damn me and my obsession with technology... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Oh yeaaaaaah I don't think I'll entertain the idea of getting one of these for a good while yet, I only bought a PSP after it had been out a couple of years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 After dismissing this, i now want one having had a go on one. Wheres the best bundles at the mo? Seen one on amazon for £227 where you get the wifi only vita, fifa and an 8gb mem card. Any better bundles out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Sales figures are looking positive at the moment for this - in Europe and America anyway. Japan aren't quite as taken it would seem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyjsg Posted March 1, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2012 Yep was pleasently surprised. Nearly 100k sold here compared 250K ish in the states. Still plenty of people around with cash to spend it seems. Anyway, I love it, forgot how much fun Everybody's Golf is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggaman Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Same. It really is amazing seeing such quality games on such a small device. Plus the sticks on it are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Amazon.co.uk: Vita Wifi, Fifa & 8gb mem card = £230 Gamestation: Vita Wifi, Fifa, 8 gb mem card & £10 psn card = £300 Hence why GAMEgroupTM or whatever the parent group are called are going down the pan. Just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 This console is brilliant. All I need now is for the addition of PS1 games to the list of games I can play and I might just have my new full time gaming system. It really is brilliant.

dubbs Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Loving mine too. It's one for the family Little Devients is cool. Got FIFA as well, yet to play. Downloaded the free AR games, good. Better than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
