Need for Speed is

I can't get over how good this game looks.
Dat Frostbite 3 engine. Played a good amount of it and I'm glad I pre-ordered because the Nissan GTR has been putting in work for me. The cops taking their job seriously though

Ni No Kuni won best RPG of the year at Game Trailers and is nominated for game of the year too. It actually beat Pokemon in RPG of the year which surprised me. I still haven't even played it.

Wow good stuff. I still haven't played mine yet and I got the Wizards Edition with that chunky book. I think it's almost guaranteed a sequel after the amount it sold thjough. I bet even Namco was surprised since it didn't really do much in Japan but the rest of the world loves it.

Why is the Gametrailers video player so bad though.

FFXHD performs well on the Vita for the most part. The game maintains a solid 30 FPS almost all the time and when coupled with the smooth animations and pretty colours it looks great in motion...99% of the time.
Occasionally the game will hiccup just for a split second whilst it does something new. Sometimes it will be the way 'screen-crack' animation before battles appears to be a little rougher than normal. Once I got a really minor snag when I attempted to summon Valefore. There really isn't any rhyme or reason to it; it happened once under conditions x and I simply couldn't replicate it.

The biggest change is the 'swipe menu'. It hides off the left side of the screen. Swipe the touch screen right and you pull it out. Swipe left and it slides back out of view.
SWIPE MENU
You can summon this menu in the field:


When used in the field you get two options which allow you to insta-heal your entire party in an automated way (removing the bureaucracy of post-battle healing). You can select to heal using:
1. Healing magic: The game attempts to heal everyone whilst trying to keep from wasting MP.
2. Items: the game prioritises using low quality healing items (potions over hi-potions for example).
After you tap the icon you get a text box in the middle of the screen saying who did the healing (and the MP cost to them) or the items used.
You can also summon this menu mid-battle (screen below) but here it does something different; it lets you toggle between long/short summon animations mid-battle (no skip option unfortunately):

My favourite part of this conversion has to be the battle UI. Many Vita games simply shrink down the UIs of their console counterparts 1:1 with no regard for legibility. FFXHD Vita does not make this mistake. The Vita game has a jumbo-sized UI that makes everything easily readable without cluttering things too much.

FFX impressions on the Vita are positive. SE really did well with the port on both PS3 and PSV. I just might double dip to help with grinding since the game supports cross-save.

So I finally finished Arkham Origins. The story was pretty dope.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

The final fight with Joker was PRETTY weak though. And can anyone explain to me the significance of Joker seeing Batman as a monster/demon?

What is your PS4/PS4 and ViTA game of the year?

 

[iYen]

What is your PS4/PS4 and ViTA game of the year?

I got a ps3 this year so the game I chose didn't come out this year.

Ps3: Heavy Rain. The ost made the game suspenseful. The excellent writing made you fear the consequences of the decisions you made. The controls kind of sucked though.

PS4: Ghosts since it's made by IW

vita: lol wut?

game is so annoying. i dont understand the whole bullet traveling thing. does the game involve gravity into the game cause im having a hard time running and gunning

 

[danger style]

Yeah I have trouble with magic bullets hitting me through hard walls sometimes too when I'm running. I think it's a problem with their aim assist system

 

[parada45]

I started playing Boarderlands 2 since it was free

I made it all the way to Chapter 4 and it’s a pretty fun game

But ur telling me I have to start from the beginning every time I play this game? Smh

 

[just reason]

First.. How did you unlock the mtar(multitalent badge.. I got the sniper.. Lmg.. Assault and grenade kill)

Second.. When sniping you see the bullet trail which is dope.. Running and gunning? You should be hip firing and always aim for the chest and up..

Aim down sights(Ads or L1) is slower than hip firing.. So hip fire first then ads once you get hit markers..

My game of the year would have to be Bioshock Infinite. It's rare that I hop back into a game right after I complete it, but as soon as the credits were done, I was making another trip to Columbia. The story is amazing, the characters are amazing, the gameplay is amazing. I can't say enough good things about this game.

If you haven't played the game and you're a PS+ member, do yourself a favor and DO IT when it's free next month. DO. IT.

iYen also called out a good one with Heavy Rain. I really enjoyed playing that. I'm mad at myself for not having played Beyond: Two Souls yet.

 

[cragmatic]

Heavy Rain came out this year? I thought that came out a few years ago?

 

[bamez]

Did KH1.5 remix come out for Vita?

edit:  I've been using iphone earbuds as my headset for the PS4.  You mean to tell me no one can hear me chatting?  No wonder no one listens to me on BF4.  I tried to send a recorded message and played it back.  All i heard was feedback..

Nope

What is your PS4/PS4 and ViTA game of the year?

Tearaway

 

[NCtwin]

No it wasn't this year. iYen called it his GOTY because he just got a PS3 not too long ago and just played it.

 

[seandon23]

I think my GOTY is either Bioshock: Infinite or The Last of Us. Both of those games had the best stories and actually made me want to sit down and see what happens. But am I the only one that found GTA V boring? I couldn't get into the multiplayer at all. I think there was way too much hype for that game

 

[bamez]

My girl got me tearaway last week.  Only played a few minutes.  Its fun, just haven't had time to really play.  My girl loves it though

I agree. I think Last Of Us gets the nod over Bioshock for me. Can't believe it's already a free game on playstation +.

I like GTA but i havent even finished the single player yet. Same thing happened when GTA4 came out, it was awesome for a week or two and then it just got boring.

And yeah, can you not save your progress in Borderlands 2? My characters level is still up, but it makes me start over. I thought maybe it was because I've only played co-op with my friend.

I've been playing Borderlands 2 as well and I've never had a problem with saving, as long as you see that triangle in the right top corner I know it's saving. What's your PSN, heard it's easier playing with a team.
