Despite similar appearance, this device is NOT the same as the Wii U Gamepad. The "Cross Plane" is simply a combined wireless display and controller. Even if developers were willing to support a third-party Gamepad like device for other systems, this devices is NOT capable of offering the kind of dual screen play that represents the majority of the appeal behind the Wii U Gamepad.
As an off-TV solution, it's fine, but it's nothing more than that.
Because you CAN'T trust "professional" developers. Look what happened with games like Terminator 2 Salvation and that Dragon Ball Z game.
Each Invasion level is worth 3 Teensies, where the Vita version contains 85 less to collect. Dividing 85 by 3 gives you 28.333333 levels. Obviously there isn't one third of a level, so I'd guess there may be another non-invasion level missing, which is worth 10 Teensies. That would make 25 Invasion levels (5 per world does sound correct to me) and 1 standard level missing in the Vita version.
Damn. I've been playing the Wii U version; just finished all the Invasion levels and they were a lot of fun. I have the Vita version on pre-order; I think I'll probably still get it anyway, but it kind of sucks that the Vita version is essentially incomplete.
I played the PS3 version briefly and it's a lot of fun playing 4-player local co-op. The game appears to be running at a very smooth 60FPS too, which was a nice surprise. I definitely enjoy the controls more, as it gives a much greater feeling of connectedness with the character than controlling an abstract mouse pointer that's used to "instruct" your character.
I've never been interested in the Diablo franchise before, but I'll probably end up get...
I played Gladiator Mode and it was pretty fun. I'd say gamelpay wise it feels more like Heavenly Sword than God Of War.
That's because "Fanboy logic" is an oxymoron. ;)
Speak for yourself. I'm buying Raymand Legends day one for the Wii U and later on the PS3 for the trophies (and also the Vita if it doesn't share trophies with the PS3 version). Rayman Origins was simply the best 2D platformer I've ever played and I'm going to get the most out of Legends.
And yes, I'm also buying Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Sonic: Lost World. They all look like great games that will be worth playing.
I'm just waiting to see if the PS2 version has all the new features. ;)
Day-one buy. LOVED this series on the Amiga.
If I had any intention of buying an Xbox One, this news would simply make me much more inclined to wait for a bundled game that I'm actually interested in.
A football game won't please everyone and it would feel entirely wasted on me.
Sounds like someone didn't like Valve's push for Linux as a gaming platform. :p
Would a special PlayStation branded implementation of the Occulus Rift be necessary? I was hoping to own just one standard Occulus Rift unit that I can use on both my PC and PS4.
@Neonridr, what about those who never played the original?
What is the value of a review where the basis for comparison is a game that the reader has never played?
A few comparison comments don't hurt, but those who've already played the original probably don't need a review to tell them whether to buy it or not.
If a game is being released in the current day, then it should be held to the standards of the current day.
When I'm reading a review, I'm ultimately only interested in the final decision of whether to buy the game or not. I don't care about what nostalgia the reviewer may or may not have for the original.
Ideally, these reviews should be written by people who never played the originals.
I already hate the reviewers who gave rela...
Choosing Nintendo products has its advantages, but saving money is not one of them.
Total Cost of Ownership on Nintendo systems tends to work out high compared to other systems due to infrequent price cuts and almost non-existent sales.
Let's look at the Vita and 3DS for a cost of ownership comparison:
3DS: £136.99
- Super Mario 3D Land: £30.00
- Mario Kart 8: £32.29
- New Super Mario Bros U: £3...
A while ago, I complained to Sony tech support via e-mail that the PSN web store didn't work on Linux. I got the usual canned response about my issue being forwarded to the relevant team, which usually means that they don't care enough to fix it and so I thought no more of it.
About a month later, I try the website again and find that they've made it compatible with Linux.
That's awesome tech support as far as I'm concerned. :)
It's perhaps understandable that uploading and sharing is behind the paywall. After all, server bandwidth and storage isn't free.
It's much less understandable if the ability to record and store videos locally is behind the paywall (or doesn't actually use Microsoft servers).
Is there any explanation as to why it's Wii U only? Surely it would make sense to target more successful platforms? Surely they would get more support? I'm not seeing any rational behind the console choice.
I've got a 1TB in my PS3 with 200GB free, and that's only games (I have a separate box for other media). I believe the largest game on it (Ni no Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch) is around 22GB, and games are probably going to become even bigger in the next generation with higher definition assets.
