The Sound of Silent Hill Slipping to October

NEWS 4:42 AM on 5/16/2012 by Sam "Samoza" Tyler

Hello Co-Optimus my old friend, I've come to talk to you again.  I come bearing bad news that came in a vision, whilst I was sleeping (that or from a Destructoid posting).  PS Vita owners expecting Silent Hill: Book of Memories in May will have to have a rethink - it ain't happening.  The first clue was when Amazon changed the game's release date from the already slipped date in May to October 31st.  Now Konami have confirmed that  gamers will have to wait several more months to get their greasy mitts on the 4 player online co-op title.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Coming to Vita, but with No Co-op!

NEWS 8:18 AM on 5/1/2012 by Sam "Samoza" Tyler

I do like a good collection of games; more pleasure for the same price.  Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is a prime example of this, not only did you get updated versions of some of the earlier single player outings of the franchise, but also a brand spanking new update of the 4 player co-op Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD.  The collection has just been announced for Vita, surely the PSP native Peace Walker would fit seamlessly onto Sony's new handheld?  Apparently not, as a certain game is missing...

Atlus Picks Up Dragon's Crown, Pushes Release Back to 2013

NEWS 3:14 AM on 4/22/2012 by Paul "EastX" Acevedo

Dragon's Crown, Vanillaware's upcoming brawler/RPG for Playstation 3 and Vita, will no longer launch in 2012 as planned. The original publisher, UTV Ignition (who publishes mostly junk) quietly dropped the game from its release schedule. Thankfully, Atlus has stepped in to not only publish this beautiful game, they're also taking a hand in its development duties now as well.

Ragnarok Odyssey Receives Online Patch, Still No US Release Date

NEWS 8:50 AM on 4/17/2012 by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

Ragnarok Odyssey launched back in February for the PlayStation Vita in Japan.  The title is a Monster Hunter like game where players can team up and complete quests.  The problem is, it was released without any online co-op, instead players were limited to AD-HOC co-op only.  For Japan, this isn't a HUGE deal - but if and when the game is released in North America, online co-op is a must.

After 17 years creating games for Sony platforms, Zipper Interactive has been shut down by the publisher.   Zipper has created such games has SOCOM Combined Assault on the PS2, SOCOM 4: US Navy Seals on the PS3, and more recently Unit 13 on the PlayStation Vita.  Obviously their speciality was tactical shooters and it was something they did quite well.

Phantasy Star Online 2 Coming to Vita, Will Suck Hours of Your Life Away

NEWS 11:49 AM on 3/13/2012 by Paul "EastX" Acevedo

The Playstation Portable Phantasy Star Portable games were pretty great, but multiplayer was restricted to local wireless, making it difficult for most of us to enjoy co-op questing together. Besides, they were based on Phantasy Star Universe, and everybody who's anybody likes the original Phantasy Star Online better. Good news for the cool kids then, because not only is SEGA making a real Phantasy Star Online 2, but it's coming to the Playstation Vita!

Unit 13 Online Pass Issues Highlight Digital Distribution Pitfalls

NEWS 8:24 AM on 3/7/2012 by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

All day yesterday I was checking the PlayStation Network Store via my Vita, hoping to see a content update so I can download Unit 13, the latest co-op shooter from Zipper Interactive.  I'm on the review for the game, so time is crucial for me, as I want to get the most out of the experience.  To my disappointment the game wasn't available until almost 8:30PM Eastern last night, after which, I needed to wait almost two and a half hours for the 1.2GB game to download.   Sadly, these superfluous issues with time were only the beginning.
