Been playing Helldivers, Hotline Miami 2 and PES 2015.

Also Justin, any news on FF Type-0 going for digital I am sad to see NA didn’t have this available for Pre-order on the PSN store especially when it available for Europe. :(

  Hey there, I’ve seen a few folks asking about FF Type-0 HD, so I asked around a bit and found out that it will indeed be released on PlayStation Store Tuesday, March 17th, and for a limited time it will include the Final Fantasy XV -EPISODE DUSCAE- demo.
  
  Hope that helps!

Awesome that you are listening to the Final Fantasy VI soundtrack. Nobuo Uematsu is a genius, and FFVI has my favorite soundtrack from the franchise.

Playing: GTA V
Watching: The Wrong Mans
Listening: Final Symphony

Final Symphony is a collection of songs from FFVI, VII, and X, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. There are moments that send chills down my spine.

  I’ll check out Final Symphony, thanks! Definitely agree that VI has the best soundtrack, though XIV has been giving it a run for its money lately.

Can anybody comment on Hotline Miami 2 on Vita? I’m hearing that it has a lot of crashing issues and I don’t want to buy it until it’s fixed (if it’s true).

I’m still playing Toukiden on my Vita. Trying to finish it before Toukiden: Kiwami comes out later this month. Now if NA could get God Eater 2 Rage Burst brought over I would be one happy guy. Oh and still waiting for any news on Rainbow Skies. That’s another day one purchase after platting Rainbow Moon.

Thank you sooooo much Justin! I have been trying for weeks to find out if there would be a preorder for Final Fantasy Type-0 or if it would even be available on the Playstation Store, as well as how that would work with the Final Fantasy XV Demo. You’re the best, kupo!

You’re sure about this right? Really want to cancel my Amazon pre-order and get it on PSN since its cheaper.

No time to really game this week. It’s spring weather and I have to build a garden shed, de-moss the lawn, and mow it. So all I’ve got time for is to do yard work and listen to podcast while I do it.

Two more Vita Nepgames were announced over in Japan – Blanc’s game (which seems to involve fighting zombies) ad a crossover title with Sega’s SeHa Girls:

Still too early to say when either will be localized, though.

With the next System Software Update for PS4 and PS Vita can you at development team fix the problems not being fix or miss on the following:

Party Chat: When friend joins on party their Nat type somehow cause them to miss everyone else Nat type up and mic’s don’t work due to Nat type being 3 when everyone has Nat Type 1 or Nat Type 2. Making as to quite the Party Chat and rejoin up again just for it to work. Both PS4 and PS Vita.

Message: When sending message i notice big delay on my end; friend sent me message few secs on party chat but i didn’t get it unit 25 mins or 2 hours have fully pass. This happens on both PS4 and PS Vita for some reason’s and affects only few of as users.

OS: I notice on PS4 when you hit home button to leave game for few sec then go to look at the trophy’s or anything then back into the game 50% of the time it will cause the PS4 to slow down and sometimes get stuck on the screen forcing hard reset by either holding the power button or unplug cable. PS4 only.

How about adding Video into the Party Chat so we have reason to use our PS Cam with PS4 and PS Vita.
