I also see 964 plats, plus 100 hidden trophies.

I haven't been on this thread in years, or PSNP really much at all either, but since I'm on and you're on the home page idk I barely play Switch and haven't for years. Fortnite is liek the one thing and even that I played 3 or so matches all last season, and on the Xbox at that. But I did buy the GTA trilogy around Christmas last year on Switch. It works serviceably. I have no real problems, like, they're still great games at their core even if the ports are shit. That being said, the night before Ray Liotta died coincidentally, I finally installed Vice City on my Vita (I potentially may have the last install of Vice City in the world before his death, what an obscure fun fact), and goddamn, it's so much better than the "definitive" edition, I put the reVC version on my Wii U ages ago but on account of it being a Wii U I never really use it, so I forget, but damn, the work the guys at reVC and re3 did only to have Rockstar stomp 'em out and shit out this defective edition, truly sad, absolutely fantastic work those guys did and if you've not already, definitely try their stuff out, the (New) 3DS running GTA 3 and Vice City was a sight to see. Vita is impressive, sure, and they even have the Android port of SA on there, but seeing the 3DS run shit it was so clearly not meant to do is fascinating. Like there's so many better ways to play Tony Hawk (also got that on Switch, good port, load times are a bit long coming from the Series X but otherwise, good job) but playing THPS2 for PS1 on a 3DS is just my kind of stupid fun. That being said, I bought the iOS port of THPS2 for my iPod touch over a decade ago so, know what, I don't know what I was really getting at, but point being, I sold my Switch ages ago and got a Switch Lite instead, never played on the tele anwyay, so a bit bigger battery, nice new fixed joycons (in theory...in actuality I've seen my Fortnite guy drift since I got the thing like 2 years ago) and a hundred or so bucks in the pocket, why not. Then I found out people are after launch ones to mod and I could have charged a lot more than what I did (I think I said 400 for the unit and an extra (unused) dock I had laying around, supposedly could have easily got 600, oh well, live and learn. Anyway point is, fuck Pokemon.

About 2 years ago when I last felt a massive pull to play my Vita, I went and bought a bunch of Ratalaika Games for it as they were the only people still pumping stuff out for the ol' guy. Well, it was probs a bit over 2 years, idk, it went on for a while, then I ended up smashing out 30 plats in the month of June that year and that was pretty fun. I rambled a lot more and arguably better back then (https://forum.psnprofiles.com/topic/92308-ratalaika-review/) about it all, but now I've played a bunch load more of their games and am gonna try to quote unquote review them in as quick as possible, in keeping with the style of their games. I'd also like it noted I meant to buy Super Destronaut 2 the other day while on sale but forgot and am v bummed. As I said at the start, last time I did this, I wanted to revive my Vita for a bit. This time, it was that too, but now my kiddo is almost 6 and a half and their games are actually really really good for kiddos. Mochi Mochi Boy was a favorite to play together. So with that in mind, "is the game likely to be fun to play with your kid" will be one of the "review" criteria going forward. There you go. As of June 5, 2022, all but "One Night Stand" and "Shadow of Loot Box" are cross buy with Vita for a double plat, though how long you can get that, who knows with how they're treating my boy. 36 FRAGMENTS OF MIDNIGHT ACCESS DENIED BOUNCY BULLETS BUCKET KNIGHT CYBARIAN: THE TIME TRAVELLING WARRIOR DAGGERHOOD DEEP SPACE RUSH FOOTBALL GAME FOXYLAND FOXYLAND 2 FULL BLAST GRAVITY DUCK HEROES TRIALS HOGGY 2 INKSPLOSION IRON SNOUT JACK N JILL DX JUST IGNORE THEM MEKABOLT METAGAL MIDNIGHT DELUXE MILO'S QUEST MOCHI MOCHI BOY NEON JUNCTIONS ONE NIGHT STAND PARADOX SOUL PEASANT KNIGHT RED BOW RUSH ROVER SHADOW OF LOOT BOX SQUAREBOY VS BULLIES SUPER BOX LAND DEMAKE SUPER DESTRONAUT DX SUPER DESTRONAUT DX: INTRUDERS EDITION SUPER DESTRONAUT: LAND WARS SUPER WEEKEND MODE SUPER WILOO DEMAKE TETRA'S ESCAPE THUNDER PAW TWIN ROBOTS ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZEROPTIAN INVASION

lmao holy goddamn shit, I'm so glad I didn't have to come in here and say more or less the same as every person above me. Thank fuck y'all are level headed. Fuck your politics, I couldn't care less, but I can't put it any better than you did, LGBT and abortion rights have nothing to do with politics, they are basic rights every human should have and accept

To everyone saying that implementing trophies is what left the PS2 on PS4 program dead in the water... Might I point you toward Xbox and their back compat setup? They don't add chivos or anything new like that. They only got 60 odd OG Xbox games on it. They *claim* to have reached as far as they could and got who still has the rights and so on to play ball, but at the end of the day, they got 60 odd games and no trophies to hold them back. I'm sure it irked some people to put in that effort but since the majority of the PS2 on PS4 games are the same ones always getting rereleased over the years, Max Payne, Warriors, Red Dead, Grand Theft Auto, etc. I think if any company would be fine with it, it would be the companies who are used to reselling their shit all the time in any new way that comes by. I think the rights issues, be it music, publishing, or otherwise, were and always will be the biggest hinderance to reselling a bunch of the classics. I'd like Spider-Man 2 to be back compat...it's a movie game published by Activision who no longer have the license, based on a movie by a company who no longer has the merchandising rights for Spider-Man, and so on, never gonna happen. I'd like Simpsons Hit and Run to be back compat...it's a licensed game published by someone who also doesn't have the rights anymore, made by a company that is long defunct anyway. It's more likely than Spidey that EA would swoop in and do something, but still, not gonna happen tomorrow. Emulation (specifically RetroArch on Xbox Series for me) is the only real way to replay the classics in 2022. __________________________________ Poo. Tekken 2 is the only one I owned digitally out of the bunch of PS1 games they added and I thought it would be neat to pop a chivo on it. Bum.

There's a million I wish got more, but the only one that really fucks me is Santa Clarita Diet. Points for Angel though, would have loved more of him and Spike's bullshit, last season was great.

A LOT of people are the same, I've been among them for years and years, thinking IV or Vice or (insert your fave here) is better. Redoing London would be odd. Not the least of which, because Watch Dogs 3 did London quite recently.

If they just brought over the Android versions, I'd welcome it, and admittedly buy them again when they went on sale, but if they wanted anything more than like 7.50 or something a pop I'd laugh and leave. I don't think they need to be any easier either, I think they're both quite easy, same as SA, IV, V, and all the GTAs tbh, however, like let's be real, it's just so much more convenient to wake up at a hospital and carry on than to reload, redo whatever last couple missions you did because you haven't saved, and get yourself caught back up. As for the checkpoints, I was just breezing through VC on the PS5 and doing some taxi missions for the fuck of it, nothing else to do, and I kept getting North Point Mall to the hospital / docks area like 5 times in a row and it does take a minute or two, nothing compared to San An and V but still, but I meant more so checkpoints mid mission for some rather than to skip the drive, the drive is the least hard part. Like think the one where you have to rescue Lance and get him to the hospital, getting all the way there, getting in there, getting past everyone, getting him in the car, getting him out, that's quite annoying to do again because you got out of the lot and those assholes start chasing you and flipped your damn car two seconds from the hospital to drop him off. And I don't think you necessarily need a map, it just feels weird that 3 doesn't have it, and the GPS functionality, while useless for you and me who've played them to death, would likely be very much appreciated by any new comers. I did it without cheats (except the Godfather, I defo recall shoving a bunch of helicopters in the garage and destroy all cars cheating over and over. Would also love Liberty and Vice Stories to get re-released, the mobile port of LCS is excellent, still holding out hope some day a VCS port will just drop on there. Definitely worth picking up LCS if you have an Android TV machine / box / whatever, it's a fantastic port job. I really never got that, that helicoper mission is an absolute box of piss, grab bomb, fly over, drop bomb, fly back, repeat. It's not once given me a single issue in the 15+ years I've been playing Vice City. Fixing the spawn locations and shit would be VERY welcome though.

I'm not sure you got what I was saying, don't use HDMI. Nah I feel that though, I quit my last office job about 2 months ago, I bought a TicWris, 2.86 inch smart watch with full SIM and phone all that built in, and spent most of my last couple weeks playing Peggle and Candy Crush on my wrist watch while no one was any the wiser.

If you're just hiding the noise from someone, could you not just... put the thing on mute? Better yet, play it super safe, since it's an old school PS3, use the AV cables and rip the audio ones out so there's no fear at all, donezo. What a weird post, not what I expected, I was expecting to come in here and say hold the power button down for 10 seconds and reset the video/audio settings but nope.

Everyone likes to rag on the mobile ports of the trilogy but you know what - I like being able to turn the camera in GTA 3 and Vice City freely, and without having to enter the awkward and honestly useless first person mode. - I like the option to play with the classic controls, or more modernized ones like R2 for forwards, and L2 for backwards, etc. - I *love* the autosave and checkpoint updates in all 3 games, as well as the inclusion of cloud saves via Social Club. - I like the slightly revised UI in 3 and VC, the new mission start screens are a nice touch up from the low res images of the PS2 original. - I like that you keep your guns after being wasted / busted, yes I know the new games are too fucking easy, but who cares, we've beat all 3 of these ones a million times, I can't be fucked finding and dating all the girls in San Andreas to unlock it all anyway. - I like the new lighting engines, sue me, I think it looks better. The draw distance in San Andreas when you're flying is absolute ass and I'll give you that, but otherwise, it's nice. And likely quite a bit more. I hope the new versions include all of that and then some, but because these games are so huge and the company behind them is still alive and kicking, you'll pretty well always be able to buy them again in their original form, the trilogy is available digital on PS3 and PS4 (which means and PS5), the mobile and PC ports can be played on a goddamn potato, hell they even ported it to the goddamn 3DS not too long ago and it runs surprisingly well. The Vita got homebrew ports too not too long ago. San Andreas is back compat on Xbox and while it sucks 3 and VC aren't, they may come in the future, they may not, either way, they'll have this version. If they manage to snap back up the licenses for the expired songs in Vice City (there's a few in San An I miss too, but mostly VC), add a map to GTA 3, GPS functionality like GTA 4 and beyond, some checkpoints and shit, and a goddamn moveable camera in 3/VC, I'll lap it up and delete the emulated versions of 3/VC I've had on my Series X since last year happily.

Just like the original game, ironically.

Stating the obvious...but you were surprised you could have an account be active on both a PS4 and PS5...which is the obvious I stated...? I think..? Feel like this whole thread is stating the obvious.

Whitelist hack is bae...
