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.

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.
