I think it sounds pretty wack too. At best, maybe a slight resolution bump is the most I'd hope for personally, but I don't think it's happening.
There is no noticeable latency and I'm playing at 60fps, using the same thing Nvidia's Shield uses, not remote play. And I've got an old router set up just for this purpose, so it's as optimal as can be.
It's similar to WiiU and the gamepad.
I managed to get the first two hidden coins while stoned with it. Don't think there's an issue
That's pretty cool. Just using an app on the PC to do that?

App is on the vita, really fast to load and it works with PC using Nvidia geforce experience gamesharing (just a tickbox in the settings).
It can launch steam fullscreen gui so you have a cool interface for selecting games on it too.

Went back and found the blue orb I was missing in level 6. It was tucked away inside of a structure you have to swim inside. There's a little opening and it's past the second checkpoint.
Speaking of which, pro strat: Abuse the checkpoints like crazy! You can re-touch a checkpoint and it'll save any progress you made even though you've touched it before. Really saves on time since you'll be dying... a lot.

got all the coins in the first two levels
really starting to love this game. controls have really clicked for me in the last hour. the biggest thing was getting comfortable with the right trigger rhythm. I would have never anticipated how satisfying controlling a snake could be.

Oh I missed it
It's not that bad. You can clearly tell it's soft but it's "acceptable" unless you really flip out about IQ.
Bring a battery pack though it chews through the battery as fast as Zelda.

Is the framerate locked to 60 on pc or is there a way to unlock it?
For anyone going toward the 'Compete every level without dying' achievement, I don't think attempts during time trials count. (Either that or I space out in a random level and forgot I died.)
EDIT: Maybe I'm wrong and I spaced out, because I just got it on level 14 and doubt I did level 15 without dying the previous normal run time.
Also, some of those time trial times are brutal.

Atmosphere of the game is great, still not really digging the controls for the hidden coins that are always in some tricky places, but I hope I'll be able to make it !
Playing on Switch, resolution is not that bad on Portable mode, as HUD is native res. Didn't tried docked mode yet though.

The former.
Finished up Specter of Torment tonight (surprisingly) and got around to playing 2 levels of this. How charming! The game itself looks pretty good for a relatively quick port. I disabled rumble so I don't have to experience that craziness lol.
I got a better grip on the controls by the second level. Coiling and climbing up poles is surprisingly intuitive. Looking forward to more of this game

I love the music, aesthetics, the vibe, but fuck me if this game hasn't the worst 3D camera I've seen in years. Controls are meh... it's a physics based game so that was to be expected, but some of the plattforming is needlesly frustrating because of them.
Should have waited for a sale. It's way too expensive at 20 bucks.

The controls require some patience to scale poles and whatnot. Not hard to grasp, just gotta remember to grip and turn Noodles head slightly to climb.
The camera needs a sensitivity/speed slider. Way too slow. Would be more bearable if at least the Camera Reset speed was actually snappy.
And also some of these blue orbs are harder than the coins. Both to find and collect.

The one on the broken bridge on Level 6 is up and out from a horizontal beam. Camera doesn't make it any easier.

Is anyone getting a "Cannot connect to network device" error while playing this without an internet connection? It constantly pops up so I can't play, only tethering to my phone stops it.
I've never had this with another game. Surely it doesn't require an internet connection?

There's no way in hell it's the same as the Wii U + GamePad. That used VERY clever technology to keep latency to a minimum.

I'm going to guess that the Vita is in triple-digit latency figures, which is simply not acceptable. I mean, it's that high when using the Vita OFFICIALLY for remote play from the PS4/PC, so with this hacked-on version it's not going to be any better. Don't get me wrong, I've no doubt you're enjoying it. But I've also no doubt I would not enjoy it one bit.

im confused by what he means by the first hidden coins. in level 1 i dont even think you can fall off anywhere by accident.
I didn't need to up my gamespeed until level 5/6 but in the first four levels you can basically take any challenge as slow as you want by holding grip
don't think that's going to continue being viable for him.
also yeah nintendo uses a super patented video codec over 5ghz wifi to the gamepad to get that video over with such low latency

^hidden coins under the bridge. I'm now on the 2nd world.
It directly uses Nvidia's technology, not some basic streaming app.
I can play rocket league, GTA V, Mario Sunshine and Alien Hominid (a twitch shooter where I can see how exactly fast it is by holding it up to my monitor, pressing right/left on the d-pad and it's basically instantaneous) - so snake pass is an absolute breeze.
It plays perfectly and looks incredible.
I'm very sensitive to latency and lag too but whatever makes you happy, lol.

It does not, but for now you have to reboot the game while not connected to a network.

That's really annoying since I don't think you can save progress mid level.
You may have a great connection and not notice any latency issues, but there's no way it's on par with Wii U. On a technical level it couldn't be. If it's playable to you, it doesn't matter either way though.
It works great with a twitch shooter, it's easily good enough for snake pass, which I've played 3 hours of with this setup. It plays like a native game but with insane graphics.
If I can't notice an issue with the response time with those games then most people certainly wouldn't be able to either.
This is a wired connection from my PC to a dedicated router on a separate network, and then that is transmitting data to a vita in the same room. To an OLED (low-latency screen) and using Nvidia's low latency gamestreaming, at 60fps.
You can say Nintendo have secret sauce tech over Nvidia, but this is damn good.
And next on my button-mapping list, Skies of Arcadia Legends and Kirby's Air Ride.
The Vita is the weakest link. As I said, if you're not bothered that's fine. But triple-digit latency (you're limited by the Vita's WiFi, no matter how close/far you are to the router) is not good enough for me.
If you like, post a video of holding the Vita display near the host system screen, and the difference will be pretty darn obvious.
Still cool that you're enjoying it, of course.

Just give it up or do some more reading, because you're wrong.

It would be great if the blue orbs and coins on the status screen displayed in a position that reflected how far they can be found through level. That would make it easier to find missing ones.
Nintendo games work this way. Here's Super Mario Run.

the wiiU still used wifi as the underlying tech for its streaming so yes it could theoretically be just as good.

Most of the levels are non linear though.

There's a start and an end gate, which is enough to measure distance between. Doesn't need to be exact but just a guide to where about a collectible might be.
lol the first gold coin under the bridge on level 1 can be a real bastard to get! i finally did it by following one simple rule- keep moving! was originally trying to wrap myself around each pole and get a tight spot to grab the coin, only soon after to fall to my death - repeat x 100. then i tried the other method and it worked lol. tough game but def fun!
The How to Play video covers pole traversal. Once you're accustomed to it, the controls fall into place and are more fun than frustrating.
But the end gate is at the start (or very close to the start) in most levels.
You do eventually unlock the ability to see where the collectables you're missing are.

Since the 20% off is for plus members only maybe Sony is subsidizing the discount

I wasn't getting hitches until the later levels. (i think it was level 6 onwards?) i was shareplaying at the time so thought it might have been that

Can you play over different networks? Can I stream my Steam games at home to Vita at work?
^ I don't think so, think moonlight only lets you do local connections.
It's fine if you can't handle compensating for any latency whatsoever because that's not a problem in Snake Pass. 100ms wouldn't be noticeable in this. Even you'd likely not have a problem.
It's not your average platformer - I wouldn't play SF or SMB/W like this (got an emulator on vita for that) but for snake pass, where it's all about patience, planning and slow movements - it's fantastic.
Enjoy 30fps and sub vita native resolution with that screen. It's cool if you can handle it. I think I'm done with playing those resolutions though.
It's 2017.
I'll be playing from start to finish on vita, haven't even tried or wanted to try it on pc but I've put 3 hours into this and I'm really enjoying it. I can't imagine someone who wouldn't.

Getting kinda tired of seeing "it's 2017!" and "______, in 2017?" tbh.
I am seriously loving this.
One thing I don't like that much is the art direction in the third world: too much red, the colors and the image overall is not as deliciously appealing as the rest of the game (and it's weird, as to me they really nailed the look and feel of it, oldschool but modern at the same time).
