excellent set of walls, thanks (Y)

Yeah I'm using the abstract ones - I like the styles that have been chosen, but if I ever want to freshen them up, the included PSDs have the side bars.

I'm using this Batman lockscreen

Does anyone know if Tiger Woods 10 PSP works on Vita, dont wanna buy it and find out it doesnt work. Getting bored of Everybodys Golf manga-ness.

Can't answer your question, all I can say is hopefully we do see a new Tiger Woods on the Vita utilizing the graphics.

FYI Tiger Woods 10 PSP doesn't work on Vita, won't met me download using the Vita and the content manager doesn't see the game on the PS3.

Waste of ?16, that'll teach me for not doing my research.

Sucks, hopefully in the next update it'll become compatible.

play some more U:GA last night - it just gets better and better and im still early in the game.

my only complaints are the lack of a proper save function, and the treasure hunting. i feel the treasure hunting is too cumbersome and time consuming. i know i dont have to look for them, but i want to. i find myself constantly going to my notebook every couple of minutes trying to remember what im looking for.

Weeeeee I love the screenshot function of the Vita.

One of the best shots ive chipped in so far.

Nice! I was so proud of myself after my first birdie chip-in, but it wasn't from as far away as that one. I'm still not great at that game, but it's the first golf game that I have purchased since the original Hot Shots Golf on the Playstation 1, so I'm still trying to get the hang of things. I'm definitely enjoying it, though. I actually gave in and played a quick ten minutes before work this morning.

Oh, and Street Fighter x Tekken next week! I've been excited about that game for a while, and being able to play it on my Vita just sweetens the deal.

Must have the drug :p

I'm starting up Tactics Ogre to see what all the fuss is about over this game.

If you like TRPGs it's a GREAT game :) But I found it did get a bit repetitive around the end, but the multiple paths are cool

Not really a fan of them, or should I say I just completely avoided them. But never a better time to try!

Haha, definitely :). It's just so easy when the system is already in standby and the course is already loaded up.

And I enjoyed Tactics Ogre when I played it way back in the day, but it's definitely slow-paced, and like Rudy said, it can become repetitive (especially when you have to "train" your army before each major battle). Way slower paced than Final Fantasy Tactics, that's for sure. Still good, though.

I thought the Vita version wasn't coming out until later this year?

Yeah, you're right - I just checked a few minutes ago. I missed the news completely on that one :(. Ahh well, I still have more than enough on my plate for the time being.

Ouch that sucks. What I have been doing is browsing from the Playstation Store on the Vita. It tells you right there if the game is compatible or not. Helped save me a few purchases.

I really just think Uncharted is a bad game so far, but it keeps getting praise so perhaps I need to push on. But I really feel like all of the touch stuff is just dumb. And I am enjoying so many other games right now, I just have no desire to check it out. Maybe one day I will give it a proper go.

So speaking of other games, Wipeout is just amazing in all regards. I am a huge fan of the PS3 version, and it really is that version in your hands. And I cannot notice any real lack of speed whatsoever, and if I could I would absolutely say I did. But the 30 FPS truly is no issue at all. The game looks and runs amazingly. Just such a great game.

I have not even put in Hot Shots yet still. I know I am going to enjoy it so just waiting for the initial play as many launch games as I can phase to die down, and then I will enjoy it.

Also a little side note and shameless plug, we just recorded the latest Neowin Gaming podcast last night. Should be up in the next couple of days. Most of it is me talking about the Vita. Like to the point I actually apologize at the end of the podcast to the other guys for talking so much. LOL

I actually traded in Uncharted at the weekend to get Rayman instead. Just didnt enjoy it much at all and the touchy bits are a pain. However, Rayman is awesome :) and i got Wipeout too which is also amazing.

Wow Sony arent very helpful.

I bought Tiger Woods 10 and they said "It shouldnt have let you buy Tiger Woods on Vita" so i said "Well why did it let me purchase it through the vita then" and they said "I dont know but if you read the description it will have said compatible with PSP only so therefore we wouldnt be able to do anything for you".

Thanks. So I just spent ?280 on a Vita, memory card and Uncharted, loaded my account with nearly ?200 worth of credit, bought PS+ and a load of digital titles and there is nothing they can do for me, great customer service there.

Is there really that much of a diffrence of loading time between Memory card vs Vita Card.

Not really, its a matter of a second or two, if you dont have them side by side you arent going to notice.

Am I the only one who really didn't like the controls for Rayman?

Are you using the thumbs for control or the D-Pad as i found it a little annoying on the thumbs (unless its the underwater sections) so use the d-pad a lot. The controls are not bad and feel pretty ok.

Currently the only controls which are bugging me are the ones for escape plan, i swear sometimes i swipe and they ignore it, a couple of levels really want to make you chuck the Vita at a wall.

Finally got my refund for Super Stardust today, so I finally repurchased that and finally have a version that installs properly. Forgot how much fun this game can be so I definitely can see myself putting UC:GA on the back burner for a bit as I start playing more of this. I think I may enjoy it on the Vita more than the bigscreen, except when it's in 3D (looks too damn amazing and is the best looking 3D game, imo).

Literally just taking a little break from playing it right now, and nothing wrong with the controls at all on my end, in fact they seem incredibly responsive and fluid. :iiam:

Agreed, it actually may be better than it's PS3 counterpart, except as you pointed out the 3D on the PS3 is phenomenal. Pretty much my favorite of any game actually.

Really would love to get my hands on a Vita right now, but unfortunately money says no :(

Regarding the 3D on SSHD it really is amazing on the PS3 although I still think that the 3D on GT5 within a cockpit is better. Other great games I feel are KZ3 and UC3.

    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By LiLmEgZ · Posted

      Owing to the nature of Windows feature enablement updates, it was distributed over Windows Update services as a complete system upgrade rather than as an ordinary cumulative update

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.
