Same here. Started Hard and trying to find all the treasures but I'm still missing some. I'll need a guide.

my one gripe w/ Uncharted is the treasure system. there's like 300 treasures and no matter how hard i look in a given Chapter, i cant find them all. i just dont understand how im missing them. also, i missed a TON of treasures in the early chapters b/c i just didnt understand how to look for them or what they were exactly.

Aren't some obtained by doing certain things? I know I've also picked up some treasures from Near/Black market.

Theres some in cutscenes as well, you have to look for the flashing and tap on them with your finger while cutscene plays, missed a fair few that way.

Nice, the Vita version of Motorstorm RC will be free when it comes out tomorrow! http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/03/05/motorstorm-rc-driving-to-ps-vita-for-free-courtesy-of-scion/

what!? i JUST finished chapter 13 where Chase and Drake are talking in that library/museum... there were tons! how was i supposed to know to tap on them during a cutscene. ARRRRG :angry:

Well, yesterday I went to my supplier.

Initially wanted to pick up Rayman Origins and Wipeout 2048.

He was out of stock for Wipeout.

I managed to pick up the last, that's right, last copy of Rayman. Wipeout will be available on 8th, same day as Mass Effect 3

Still haven't got the time to play it. But my friend is coming by in an hour or so, so I'll try it out, and share my thoughts

Yeah I found out completely by accident.

I just bought Little Deviants from PSN. I played the demo and really liked it, certainly different to the other games I've played.

I like how the trial games are locked full versions like the apps and games on Windows Phone.

Only some of them are full games and requires the 100kb unlock download.

Curious to hear what you think. About to play some more myself now, although part of me is thinking of finally checking out Hot Shots Golf, I just am hesitant to have so many games going at once, as I will never finish any of them.

Rayman is definitely the one you should try first ! But hot shots golf is good too.

Kiss a bunch of your time good bye if you start playing HSG! :laugh: I played it like 5 days straight without touching anything else.

In fact, I've pretty much just been playing my Vita since I got it a week and a half ago. I've neglected SWTOR and SSX because of it lol. I just got Rayman and Uncharted in the mail, so I'm excited to dig in to those 2 games. I started the first few levels of Rayman and I'm having a good time. Will start Uncharted later tonight since my wife wants to watch me play.

Oh no doubt, I have started Rayman actually, been playing it for a good few nights. Loving it. I already know I will like, more likely than not love, HSG, as I have liked all of the earlier ones, so that is my game I go to when there is nothing left to play, if I ever reach that point, as I now have Unit 13 and MLB the Show 12 coming from Gamefly.

:laugh: Same here with neglecting everything else. I checked out SSX on Saturday, and just wind up not digging it that much and picking up the Vita. It is absolutely right now my go-to gaming device.

And would like to chime in I decided to check out the Mod Nation Racers demo since I downloaded it the other night. Truly a stinker and I see why it is getting such bad reviews. Atrocious frame rates at times. It is a prime example of a game that was created just for launch IMHO.

Anyone else experiencing Game Goods in Near saying they have a long expiration time than they actually do? Before I had something from Hustle Kings that said an expiration date of 10 days, went to download it and it gave me the no longer available message. It is about the 4th time it has happened out of at least 20+ times or so. So it is not a common occurrence but it has happened. Literally every time I start up the Vita I have at least 3 new game goods. I swear I have to have every song on the Stardust soundtrack twice by now.

As time goes on, I get more impressed with the Vita. I truly do. It really has done exactly what I was hoping it would for my situation, and that is offer me more gaming time. I put a headphone in one ear, watch TV with my wife, and all is good. :shiftyninja: :rofl:

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Okay, spend some time playing Rayman.

First off, this thing is a beauty. Seriously. I mean, this game has everything a platformer must have. Fantastic gameplay, one of THE best art design I have seen in the games, the awesome animation which is smooth and silky, an awesome sound track and .... much more.

This game is seriously awesome. Anyone who has a Vita owes it to himself to try this out.

The level design is great too. It gets challenging as you progress, and will give you some real tough times at some points.

Anybody played it in Co-Op mode? I heard its great fun.

Another friend of mine is getting his Vita tomorrow. I'll check it out too.

Oh and whats the player limit on Co-Op? 2 or 4?

Oh and did I mention that it is hilarious too?

Many a times, I found myself laughing out loud. (Y)

Does CO-OP mode exist for the Vita version? I thought they took it out.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Don't know for sure.

Earlier a friend of mine was talking about it.

And I just saw the video review for Rayman on IGN and they say upto 4 player co-op campaign is there. :/

[compl3x]

Unlike the console version, Rayman Origins on the PS Vita has no co-op mode, which is strange given the handheld is more than capable of supporting multiplayer.

Players will have to make do with a ghost mode which allows them a chance to obtain timed achievements.

Cons

• Doesn't use the full potential of the PS Vita, especially with the touchscreen component.
  
• Co-op removed from PS Vita version.
  

Bottom Line

Fans of good old-fashioned 2D side-scroll platformers will appreciate Rayman Origins in their PS Vita games collection. The title looks and feels great on the new Sony portable console although a lack of co-op multiplayer is a bit of a disappointment.

My bad. I thought it was on Vita.

Thanks for the info

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

So I have rented Unit 13 and MLB The Show 12 for my Vita. Have started checking out Unit 13, and I like it much, much better than the Vita. Takes a minute to get into the controls, but once one does they are actually pretty good. It is basically a Vita version of SOCOM actually. Run N Gun gets you killed real fast. So have to be pretty tactical. It is by no means a great game, but it does provide a nice little diversion. So much so I may decide to Keep It Now. Just have so many games to still play.

Will check out The Show over the weekend probably.

Funny thing is that I picked up MLB The Show for Vita, but I don't have a Vita yet... I hear it's good (if you're a baseball fan). Sony was doing a $20 off deal if you buy the PS3 and Vita versions together. Couldn't resist. Now I just have to buy a Vita.

The PS3 version is really good.

Gonna check out Unit 13 soon. The damn demo made my Vita crash, have you had any issues with the proper retail version?

BTW I added you on PSN but you haven't accepted or declined. Just thought I'd let you know in case you missed it.

I got both and have only tried the Vita version so far. I'm enjoying playing RttS. Graphics aren't the greatest but gameplay is pretty awesome.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Anybody recommend MLB 12 and Super Stardust Delta?

[Boxster17]

Super Stardust is a must buy I would say (my favorite twin stick shooter). For 10 bucks it's a great game and if you like score chasers then this will definitely be a game you'd enjoy (they do have a demo for it as well if you want to try it out).

By the way anyone who plays SSD feel free to add me, it's probably the game I play the most right now as I do a fair bit at work. :shiftyninja:
