2.0 Vita Starter set coming May 15th

UK set is back to £39.99 at Amazon or £38.99 at 365games

At least it's dropping

Just got this today (in the UK). Amazon didn't dispatch it yesterday despite promise of launch day arrival so ended up cancelling and getting from Game in town for an extra fiver. Played it briefly and the resolution is pretty horrid and frame rate is poor, although it's not much of a surprise considering a Vita game card can't hold as much data (4GB max I think) as other consoles. I kinda like the bluetooth base for the game, as I'm able to take it to my shelves where all my figures are and put them into the game rather than move the figures to my console where they can get disorganised. I also hate having to get up to switch characters on the home console versions so the portability will be nice for when I'm just lying in bed playing it.

I'd only recommend this version of the game if you specifically want the black-suit Spider-Man figure, and/or can find benefit from the portability (though limited) and can deal with wibbley frame rates and resolution. In all fairness to it however, I believe it has all the content and compatibility of the console versions, and so it's nice to not be given a striped down version where some things can't be done on the Vita version. Personally, I'm going to try getting all the trophies, keep the Spider-Man figure, and then sell the game on.

What is the point of the trophies? I bought the Vital to play little big planet and now di 2.0 but don't know what they are for.

Trophies are meant to be rewards for achieving certain targets and beating challenges, and are set by the game's developer. I guess it's to show others what you've accomplished and you can view other peoples trophies, compare them with your own, and see what other people are good at. Some people obsess over getting platinum trophies (a trophy usually given for getting all trophies in a game) and I personally sort of fall into the camp of "If I think I can achieve it, I'll give it a try".

So had a quick go last night and yes the frame rate can get a little poor but the fact the developer's had a limit of 4 GB I think they have done an out standing job.

We could if easily got a game like the DI 1.0 on the 3ds or nothing at all so let's be thankful what we have. And considering the lack of any western AAA games on the vita this is a blessing.

Just one question. Went to the hall of heroes and went through all my figures for shared ownership.

All appeared in the hall apart from drax and Groot. Does anyone know why they might not show?

Thanks

I had the same problem with rocket and gamora. I just put the on again and they registered the same with some discs.

OK I'll give it another go.

The fact that the figure alone is a minimum of 50/60 euro on eBay is disgraceful. It's just like with amiibos; you paid a decent price for it, why in the hickory-dickory-dock do ya feel it's justified to charge so much more than you paid?!
