Some minor tweaks and a couple new options are about to be released to Vita owners in the next update which will be “released soon”. -Notification Alerts can be turned off -”After 10 minutes” to the power save settings added -LiveArea will be updated with a new arrow icon that will point out new acitivites. -Caps Lock added to the keyboard. I know many people will be happy about the notifications option being added as the trophies and other alerts can take up a large portion of the screen…but I still love to see them myself. Update! Just a heads up. The update was released today 4/3/12, however it caused a problem with Adhoc modes and people on Vita could no longer play Monster Hunter vs PSP gamers, etc. So the update has been pulled for now. Hopefully it comes back up today.

A few days back some source posted a video of what appears to be Far Cry 3 next cinematic trailer. Ubisoft released the official trailer later that day with September 6th as the release date, check it out above. Also, a 5 minutes gameplay video was released over the weekend. It is mostly segments cut out from the singleplayer campaign. You can notice some of the improvements Ubisoft made to the game engine. The game is clearly taken a more “Michael Bay” direction, with all the explosions and the cinematic moments. Are you interested? Do you think the gameplay is a bit generic shooter material? Leave us a comment below. Far Cry 2 is currently available for PlayStation Plus members free of charge , so go play that!
