PS Vita Chat II: The Ultimate Indie Machine, No?

Rex Kramer wrote:I picked up Tales of Hearts off the PS store this morning for a tenner. I've always liked Tales games but haven't played this one, is it any good?

It's good, not amazing. But for a portable Tales of game it does the job. It's better than Xillia on PS3.

I forgot I had pre-ordered Trails of Cold Steel. Can't really afford it but enjoying the game so far.

How do Final Fantasy VI, VII, VIII and IX play on Vita? Are they crappy versions?

If you buy them off the EU store I can imagine them being 50hz compared to the US 60hz version. Despite that, they play very well.

Cracking post, Fuzzmiester!

NecroDancer screams destined for PS+, (what with the PS4+PSV cross-buy) but I may get it anyway as the twist is really cute and looks like a lot of fun to play, too.

My Vita is strawberry floated.

Can no longer connect to PSN, either the store or account settings page, my battery now lasts less than hour if the wifi is on, my PS+ renewed last night and all my games on the system have now expired (plus games), I can't use the cloud saves, which is annoying as I was playing Trails of Cold Steel across my Vita and TV using the cloud saves. PlayStation firmware updates are truly terrible.

When I called customer support about it, they claim that is it not a known issue, but judging by how many people across lots of forums are talking about it, I find it hard to believe, they also said I could send in my Vita and pay £80 for it to be fixed as it sounds like a hardware failure Bar the battery failure the PSTV is exactly the same.

strawberry floating hell

That's really gooseberry fool Suzz

Have you tried rebuilding the database in safe mode? I've read a lot of people are having problems with this new firmware update, it's pretty disgusting that Sony said it's a hardware issue, I'm sure they are well aware of the problems people have been having. Hope it gets fixed soon dude!

I haven't turned my Vita on recently - is it worth me waiting so I don't run the risk of hitting this?

Possibly. I mean it hasn't effected everyone, I was dreading loading up the store and looking at my download list but it seems to be fine for me.

I've not used my Vita for a while either.

It will be BS if an update is connected to issues, but maybe this is how Sony can kill off the Vita?

What about the factory reset Suzz, does that make any difference?

So everything on my Vita is now working, connect to the store and account page fine, the battery is holding in sleep mode too, my plus games are now valid again. So weird as I've not done anything to fix it.

SLOLNY. Sounds proper dodgy that, I also haven't used my visa in quite a while.

If you're not using it, probably best to close it.

VI is ruined by the gooseberry fool PSOne port job, and the emulator can't quite keep up with IX.

VII and VIII run just as they always did.

I'll probably skip the lot of them then. Just remembered I have VII and VIII on Steam anyway. Cheers.

And IX's out on Steam shortly too, so you're set.

I'd still opt for the Vita versions of FF, just down to the portability and sleep mode factors but it certainly sounds like the PC versions are the superior ports. Either way, you'll be enjoying some RPG classics
