Finally plat'd Conception 2. Dang that was a grind. Wish i learned you can completely skip (using start) all events and still get credit for viewing them (i thought you had to click through them till i tested late in the game). same review i gave before -- lots and lots of good ideas lost to other bad design decisions (most of the cool systems in combat end up being meaningless in practice) and wayyyy too many events. but i think if someone wanted a casual rpg - level up your kids, make better ones with better classes, level them up) and liked vns... it would be a good cheap buy.
Is the Zen Pinball for vita good? Really have fun playing it on mobiles but wondered how it plays on the Vita.
Plays great. I greatly prefer Pinball Arcade (actual table sims of the best of the best tables of all time - ones that stood the test of time) versus the far more 'arcadey' pinball of Zen (imaginary tables that usually would never work in 'real life' but are still cool), but Zen is still really fun. Both are great on Vita in my opinion, and I believe the base game of both comes with free tables iirc -- if you're a long time subscriber to ps+ you may have gotten some free tables as well (some of the marvel and star wars ones, iirc).
Zen Pinball on Vita is great. I would get into Zen over Pinball Arcade because Pinball Arcade is not cross buy on PS4. The later Zen tables are generally the better ones. I really like the Star Wars ones.
Crossbuy is definitely an issue, and it bothers me sometimes, but the pleasure of playing some of my favorite tables of all time (and learning ones I never had the chance to play) outweighs it. I agree some of the Star Wars tables are really fun though.
I hope you guys are right about emulation coming to PS4, I really do.
But I always got the impression that the whole point of PS Now was so that they avoid having to do emulation and charge an arm and a leg for rentals/subs instead of one-off payments.
Way different markets. They want psnow on tablets, pcs, smart tvs, and in hotels. People that are already vested in the ecosystem will generally go with straight buying.
The point of PS Now is to expand their audience to people who don't own Playstation devices. It doesn't reach over 50 countries SCE operates in, it's not a viable replacement for anything because of that.
this.
But they have never even mentioned the possibility of emulation on PS4 that I am aware of (happy to be corrected here).
There's no reason to mention it. In fact, it would be a bad idea... then you'd just have people complaining every week/month 'where is it?!'. It's far better to keep a lid on it, then announce it at a time that makes sense (ie, E3) to grand applause. Sony certainly knows the risks of announcing things too early and paying the price for it.
The reason I'm so sure Classics will come to ps4 (relatively soon) is because it's a huge market. They already have a lot of the infrastructure in place, so it's just a matter of timing. PS1 as well. PS3 is off the table for architecture reasons.
But they have never even mentioned the possibility of emulation on PS4 that I am aware of (happy to be corrected here).
Let's not forget that they actively removed PS2 compatibility from the PS3.
In their defense, that was a major cost saving initiative that helped them lower the price of the ps3 in the market and ultimately helped them reclaim a lot of ground lost to xbox last gen.
As an owner of a ps3 that played ps2 games, i can say i... used it for that purpose once. Then I just bought a ps2 on ebay so i wouldn't have to switch out whatever ps3 game I was playing.
