![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For AAA titles, where possible we have based our tests on physical copies rather than downloads from the PSN Store. Please note that all of the titles listed here are products released in the EU – there will be differences between territories in terms of PlayStation TV compatibility so please only use this as a rough guide if you live outside of the EU. When it comes to knowing what can be run on the console, here at Vita Player we’ll be testing as many titles as possible in order to bring you a “real world” checklist of what does and doesn’t work on the system and we’ll update this as often as we can as new games come along or patches are brought out making more titles compatible. There’s no getting away from the fact that the PlayStation TV has no touch screen or rear touch pad but there’s still a lot that will run quite happily either just with the DualShock 3 or DualShock 4 or by using the emulated pointer available or making use of the DualShock 4’s touchpad for games that do need touch controls. Sacrificing some of the player’s health, Break Arts can perform a high damage attack on an enemy.While the PlayStation TV may essentially just be a PS Vita inside its casing, unfortunately it’s not capable of running every title that is available for Sony’s wonder handheld. Break Arts are special skills learnt after repetitive use of a weapon type. Using chains, however, raises Ashley’s Risk Meter, making his attacks less precise and himself more vulnerable. These effects include inflicting status ailments on the enemy, reflecting damage, etc. The player can assign various offensive and defensive effects to buttons that need to be pressed at the right time to execute a chain. Chain Abilities allow Ashley to “chain together” consecutive hits against enemies. Magic is broken into four groups, namely defense, combat, healing and status. Gems can be attached to some grips, usually increasing the weapon’s affinity with an enemy category.Īshley can also make use of Magic, Chain Abilities and Break Arts. Each weapon can also be disassembled in workshops scattered throughout the game, and new weapons can be forged by combining blades with grips. Weapons used constantly against the same type of enemy improve in power against them. Damage in battle is calculated according to the weapon’s and the enemy’s particular strengths and weaknesses in any of these categories. Each weapon possesses, besides detailed damage statistics, parameters in one of the three categories (edged, blunt, and piercing), as well as affinity to any of the six enemy types encountered in the game. Ashley can equip a wide variety of weapons and armor made out of different materials. A wireframe sphere displays the range of the currently selected weapon and detailed statistics on different body parts of the enemies within range.Īshley does not receive experience points from defeating regular enemies he randomly gains bonuses to his attributes after defeating bosses, but in general the focus of the customization in the game is on weapons. When entering combat and attacking an enemy, the game is paused, allowing the player to choose targets and access the menu for other actions. The game runs in real time, with visible enemies and no separate battle screens. Ashley can also jump and grab ledges of higher platforms during exploration. Dungeons contain many optional rooms and environmental puzzles that mostly involve pushing, destroying, and re-arranging different types of crates to access higher areas. The game focuses on exploration of large, complex dungeon-like areas and combat there are no “friendly” areas, NPC interaction, or monetary system. The entire game (including the numerous cutscenes that advance the plot) is rendered in 3D. Vagrant Story is a role-playing game with several distinguishing characteristics. However Ashley is not the only person interested in the city, and other factions of the government, including parliament assigned Knights of the Crimson Blade and other VKP agents are pursuing their own agenda. The events at the manor have sent Ashley on a quest to get to the bottom of events, and travel into the catacombs that lead to the destroyed, yet magical city of Leá Monde. A cult of religious fanatics known as Müllenkamp and their leader Sydney Losstarot have seized the manor of Duke Bardorba of Valendia Kingdom. Ashley Riot is a Riskbreaker, an elite agent for the Valendia Knights of Peace (VKP) who is investigating some strange occurrences. Valendia is a land that had undergone civil war, the end of which had birthed the parliament and several organizations to control the balance of power. ![]()
