You mean you never played a game OUTSIDE the house where there is NO network at all ?
Not the Vita, no.

It's more of a sitting in the living room, having a little play type thing for me, although that'll likely change once TxK comes out. 8)

Can't you just have a local high scores table and sync that whenever the player goes online?

I'd save yourself a lot of time and effort getting Sony to agree to something else and do it the "by the book" way.
Agree with this absolutely. You *might* be able to swing it but when we did work for Sony a while ago we always seemed to get a jobsworth that rejected stuff if it wasn't *exact*.

Controller, save game and network messages are the worst...

From Sony :
If, after the user is presented with the message:

"Network features will be disabled"

There is no attempt by the title to upload scores or access the network in any way without calling the dialog, then this would be fine.

However, if at any point the title needs/attempts to check for network connection to upload the scores without calling the Network Check Dialog, this would be an issue.

I hope this helps.
That sounds reasonable to me.

Please tell me it hasn't been submitted already? I've been remixing my track all week, and getting a bit worried I might have missed the deadline!

Do you still have plans to release a PC version at sometime? I've never been a handheld gamer and I cannot justify buying a Vita for one game, no matter how good it will be.

But that doesn't mean you (phattslagg) should take your time, as some of us are impatient for it to be released and if it's delayed for any reason, there may be......trouble. :wink:

I'm so confused by this console.

There's 2 models of Vita but they aren't marketed differently, is that correct? And one has a shit screen but is lighter and cheaper?

What I'd like to be able to do is wait until the January sales and pick one of the original ones with a decent screen up and play TxK on it, and maybe at some point theer'll be something else I want to play on it as well, so I'd need a memory card which is somewhat overpriced and non-standard, am I correct?

the new Vita with the non oled screen isn't even available outside of Japan yet and there's no release date for it, so I woudn't worry about the OLED ones going away in the immediate future.

I'm reserving judgement until I actually see the new screen version, but the OLED is so damn good the new one is going to have to be miraculous to compare.
Justified and Ancient.

The memory cards are vastly overpriced and non standard, so you are forced to buy the Sony ones.

I'm going to assume that as with the 20gb 360 available at launch, or a 16gb iPad or whatever, that buying anything but the larger option is going to end up frustrating me rather quickly.
