It's not that surprising though, this game was too ambitious for a launch game, and it's not made by Naughty Dog. 99,99999999999999999999999999999% of today's werstern devs don't seem to give a shit about IQ these days. I hope it doesn't run like shit too.

I think it's funny that you say this, since eastern devs seem to be, on average, even worse about this than western ones.

But as I said earlier, maybe giving all users the ability to take real screnshots will help with this to some extent. Developers probably don't want their games to be seen as fugly.

Since i got sick of asking for shots of this this _THE_ premium most wanted game for Vita, here are the shots of

MAHJONG FIGHT CLUB ! -wibble-

(whilst this will let me take photos ONLY in certain parts of the game, Disgaea 3 won't let me take photos ANYWHERE :( )

The answer to the question you're probably about to ask is :

I'm very poor at it, i learned the basics several years ago and forgot most of them, yes - i intend to relearn and play.

What's that weird bubble? Some back touch magnification thing?
Click to expand...

yup - double tap on the back panel and you can eye glass the rest of the table.

Also , where we are at :

Disgaea 3 - doesn't allow screenshots at any point in the game
UMvC - doesn't allow screenshots at any point in the game (so far)
MJFC - doesn't allow screenshots in set up, title screen, allows in offline game (online not checked yet)

wonder why sony allows for dev to block screenshot function. Does microsoft hold a patent to that too? lol.
Click to expand...

Cos some devs may want to stop spoilers. That's the explanation yosp gave anyway. They can block its use selectively or...less selectively, if they want.

IMO they should let the user manage it, trust the user to manage spoilers etc. I hope most devs will just leave it be, since it presumably takes more effort to block it (the default is to leave it as is). If someone really wants to spoil a game, they can anyway.

ikr. they spoil through text, through videos. or offscreen shots of the game. :\ dev should just give in. not really a good excuse to block it anyways.

Maybe not free, I mean memory not licence. But again some Vita game look like have lot of resource left over and it shouldn't big memory footprint.

Cheers DC.

But @yosp told me you can take a screenshot of any game and tweet it.

We should ask though.
Click to expand...

Ask what?

Someone already asked why. He said it was to allow devs to block spoilers if they want. Sony still gives devs a lot of control over what users can and can't do even if it's not always for the better :\ The difference with this vs what Sony has done before is that it's opt-out rather than opt-in.

Are you gonna get a Vita, Wario?
Click to expand...

Yup



I think the spoiler argument is a weak one. Yeah it'll make screen capping easier if it's allowed but it won't prevent anyone from taking a off screen shot anyway. I can see devs just turning it off completely and be lazy instead of selecting certain portions of the game to block screenshot function

@Wario64 To avoid spolers, a game can block the function at any point of the game.

Typical Sony. Have cool feature but leave it up the dev if it's usable in game. Didn't work out with the screenshot feature on the ps3, didn't work out for custom soundtracks and it certainly won't work out with this feature on Vita.

From the way Iwata's talking, Nintendo may be doing the same with Wii U's online functionality.

Booo.

Gotta love developers actively removing features from their games.

Sony should've just kept things simple like iPhone, an OS-level feature to take a screenshot anywhere with no restrictions and not leaving anything up to the developer.

Developers should not be allowed to shit up screencaps by adding watermarks that aren't actually there in the game. If they're going to do that crap, at least put the name of the game only ("Uncharted: Golden Abyss") rather than completely useless crap like "Copyright 2011 Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC. All Rights Reserved (R) (TM) Blah Blah".

There are going to be times when that long ass watermark is blocking a HUD element or somebodies name on a leaderboard or whatever which will make the screenshot completely useless.

And developers should also not be allowed to block screenshots, period. What good is a feature if you never know when you'll be allowed to use it.

I guess I can maybe understand that but it's not like it wasn't possible before. And there's plenty of games that don't use that logic unless there's so major spoilers in MvC3 I don't know about. It's just really stupid more than anything.
