Sony's new handheld gaming system, the Playstation Vita, launches in Japan in two weeks, and the latest report from Andriasang has some interesting details, including Sony's decision to go with proprietary memory cards. Sony says this is both for security reasons and to ensure a consistent experience for all users, but that 'doesn't explain why they're charging such enormous sums for these cards,' says blogger Peter Smith. 'The caveat here is that we haven't seen official pricing for the cards, but game retailer Gamestop lists them at $120 (!!) for a 32 GB card, $70 for a 16GB, $45 for 8 GB and $30 for a 4 GB.'"

Have a tendency to get stuck in games? Keep your laptop handy, the PlayStation Vita isn't going to make getting tips any easier -- an interview from AV Watch has revealed that Sony's next generation handheld is a little stingy when multitasking. The console's friends list, music and Twitter clients are in, but web browsing is out, blocked to ensure the Vita has more resources available for running games. This limitation could be off-putting to gamers who are used to mid-game internet FAQ checks to guide them through difficult bits of gameplay, a trick Nintendo's 3DS handles smoothly. Family members hoping to share a console might run into a roadblock as well, as the Vita appears to be fairly conservative about its relationships -- allowing only one PSN account per console. Sony's Brad Douglas recently mentioned on Twitter that swapping accounts was possible, but that switching required a factory reset. Potential deal breaker? For some, maybe. For others? Just another item to the growing list of things we hope to see in a future update.

PlayStation Access TV has become the most popular free download on the PlayStation Network.
 Since launching in September as the successor to FirstPlay, Future's weekly video show has also amassed more than 14,500 Facebook fans.Available to all UK PlayStation owners, Access takes its name from Sony Computer Entertainment UK's series of community events. Presented by comedian Lucy Porter, it's a ten minute weekly HD video guide to the best of PlayStation in the UK.
SCE UK senior product manager Ian Vinten said: "PlayStation Access is an opportunity for us to reward gamers with trials of titles before release, invitations to exclusive events and an array of awesome prizes.
"Access TV provides an awesome platform for us to showcase what Access has been up to, the latest and greatest games on the console as well as raising awareness of what's available on PSN.
"Feedback to the show has been very positive and gamers have liked the distinctly local take on their gaming world."

 Say goodbye to your convenient Japanese PSN account. NeoGAFfer mehdi_san took part in a PlayStation Vita demo event in Osaka, and received a flyer with launch information. A note at the end, according to the user's transcription, reveals that only one user account can be used on a Vita system. "If you want to use a different account," the (translated) FAQ entry reads, "you need to format the system to factory settings."
This leads not only to the inability to have separate user accounts for family members, but to de facto region locking for digital content. Taken with thelimited UMD Passport launch lineup, the limited (to zero) PSOne Classics launch lineup, and those memory card prices, the Vita is starting to lose some of its luster, at least as a day-one purchase. But that screen!

Square Enix's 1st Production Department, the team for the Final Fantasy andKingdom Hearts franchises, is currently working on a PS3 and Vita project in the Unity engine. Andriasang dug up several job listings that mention the game is an action RPG, along with noting several other classic JRPG staples like airships, inns and world maps. Unity is a prolific game engine that currently works on many platforms (excluding microwave ovens... and Windows Phone 7).
At this point, we know more about what game engines Square Enix is using for its projects than we do about the actual games. The company also recently announced an original, Unreal-powered action RPG under the direction of Ryutaro Ichimura (Dragon Quest 8 and 9). The company later teased the project with some concept art.

We're kind of suckers for artsy platformers, so when Beefy Media's Adam Boyes took to Giant Bomb's livestream this evening with a debut trailer for Might & Delight's latest offering, "Pid," and the game was a gorgeous hand drawn platformer, we were pretty excited to tell you all about it. In Pid, you'll control what appears to be a little boy in a colorful and mysterious world of platforms and robots -- like Limbo and Machinarium had a digital baby, if you will.
The trailer also showed off a bit of co-op play, as well as a variety of different environments through which to romp through. Pid is being built using the Unity engine (like that mystery Square Enix game, among many others), thus making its ubiquity across platforms all the easier.
While Boyes admitted the M&D folks don't have a publisher for the game yet, he said they've been actively speaking with pubs and are looking at an Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and PC release in "the back half of 2012." Expect more details and the trailer tomorrow on Joystiq when the game gets "officially" announced, and head past the break for a quick snap we grabbed of the game in action.

We already know that games for the PlayStation Vita will cost less to download than they will at the shops.
But US price aggregation site Thrifty Nerd claims to have word direct from a Sony representative that digital Vita games will cost a staggering 40 per cent less than their physical alternatives.
“I was told that games would be capped at $39.99 retail while the same game would go for around $23 if you downloaded it,” it claims.
“According to the rep, the lack of hardware and packaging can be thanked for the price drop.”
The part of the puzzle that doesn’t fit together, however, is that retailers such as GAME now include digital as an important part of their offer. Is GAME really expected to offer both a boxed version of a game at one price and a code to download it for far less in the same store?
Regardless of the legitimacy of these particular claims, the fact that digital Vita software will be cheaper than retail represents a stark turn of policy for the console sector.
Both Sony and Microsoft currently offer a wide range of full-game downloads over their networks for PS3 and Xbox 360 respectively, but more often than not the prices are absurd – often twice the price of buying the equivalent game at retail.
This is down to two factors. Firstly, platform holders are very curious about how many of you, the paying the public, are prepared download a game at a premium cost.
Secondly, until this point platform holders had been wary of attacking retail too directly. After all, while retail can theoretically be cut out of the software loop, they are still central to the sales of hardware.
Until they figure out how you can download that.

Sony is locked in negotiations with Adobe to add Flash support to PS Vita, a new report suggests.
PlayStation software development executive Muneki Shimada was paraphrased as saying he had “not given up” on incorporating Flash within PlayStation Vita.
The matters which need to be negotiated on are not public knowledge.

Konami's Vita launch title AR Combat Digi Q: Friend Tank Batallionwill be a free download, with more level packs available for purchase, marking the first appearance of the freemium model on Sony's upcoming PSP successor.
Andriasang reports that the game's first five stages will be included in the download, with a pack of levels 6 to 30 costing ¥800 (£6.50), though that will be discounted to ¥500 for the first month of Vita's release. Packs containing stages 31 to 35, and 36 to 40, will each cost ¥200 (£1.60).
In October, SCEA's Chris Norden revealed that Sony was happy for developers to release free-to-play games, saying: "You are free to explore whatever business model you want." SCEE president and CEO Jim Ryan had previously told us the company was trying to differentiate Vita's gaming experience from that available on smartphones.
"I think there are lots of places for consumers to enjoy that sort of content," he said. "Vita is positioned at a slightly different market - the high-end gaming experience."

Sony's Jim Ryan has spoken about the direction which Sony sees the PS3 taking demographically, saying that the platform will likely be targeted more towards a younger, more family orientated demographic in the future.
Speaking to Official PlayStation Magazine, Ryan said that the console's still relatively high price point of £199 in the UK means that a large proportion of units are yet to be sold.
"If you look back at the history on PS1, PS2 the vast majority of the business that we did on both those platforms was done at the sub £129 price points," Ryan told the magazine.
"Now we've only got to £199 in the UK a couple of month back so you can see there's still a lot of PS3's potentially to be sold."
Ryan was keen to point out that Sony still has big plans for the machine's core gamer market in the upcoming months and years, but reasoned that a broader output would serve to widen the company's audience.
"I think you'll see us taking the console more towards a slightly younger demographic," he continued. "More family market. The core gamer will absolutely not be neglected. There's going to be tons of great stuff for the core gamer but from our own studio, third parties there's some quite interesting stuff happening in a number of areas which would allow us to open up a market that we accessed pretty successfully on both PS1 and PS3 but haven't yet got to on PS3."

The PlayStation Vita will do a lot of things besides play games, but it won't be able to operate the web browser and a game at the same time, meaning you'll have to exit out of Uncharted: Golden Abyss before searching for its Game FAQs on the same screen, Andriasang reports. Vita will allow users to access personal music, Twitter, friends lists and more while a game is running, but web browsing will not be an option, at least at launch.
Sony used the word "initially" when describing the web-browsing clause, which makes it seem like a function that will be added after Vita's release, Andriasang notes.

OpenBOR is a continuation of the Beats Of Rage 2D game engine, which was originally
created by the wonderful folks over at http://www.senileteam.com.
This release is for the Dreamcast, PSP, Wii, Wiz, GP2x and Dingoo:
Heres whats new;
r3619 | utunnels | 2011-12-03 07:12:24 -0500 (Sat, 03 Dec 2011) | 3 lines
Changed paths:
M /engine/openbor.c
Re-adjust enemy attack chance after playing some mods. When there are too many enemies on screen, their chance to attack is also lowered. Because the new ai patterns tend to swamp on the player, difficulty increases too much when there are more than 5 enemies.
Reduce the chance for the default grab. Previous logic will prevent the entity with a greater index from grabbing another with a smaller index when they are both walking.
