Yes, but, I highly doubt the 3DS one will be covered with vaseline. Also... I would think showing the actual resolutions would show the comparison better. Here's the last one scaled down properly. http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=f...p4kujigbv6.jpg

I'm so freaking hyped for this game, it's not even funny. I'll probably buy both the Vita and 3DS versions! (I may even buy another copy of 999 if it does get a reprint with the Zero Escape moniker, just because I'm crazy!)

And I'm really glad that we'll be getting dual audio, I'm interested in hearing the English voices.

I would of preferred that the game keep the Good People Die title, but Virtue's Last Reward is pretty cool too. The fact that Aksys is reclassifying both games in the series under the Zero Escape brand is a great idea though, I want this brand to keep growing. (And with the news of potentially more Zero Escape games, it looks like it's going to.)

To think that 999 was just a cult game in Japan that Aksys took a chance on, and now all this is happening. It's wondrous. :D

I love the rebranding! That's a great name! Maybe you should reissue the original 999 with the new name so I can buy it again! :D

I'm mega hyped about that! ^_^ Props my good man!

Buying both version, whether I have a Vita or not!

I've updated the post. Looks more accurate and reflects the resolution difference as profoundly but doesn't make the 3DS look as bad. Thanks.

I'm just a graphics whore who just likes accuracy is all :/ So thank you!

To me it's like those people who post Dolphin/PCSX2 shots of Wii/PS2 games internally rendering at 480p and then stretch them to 1080p calling them examples the system's visual output.

That's something I'm dying to know.

After downloading the VLR demo from PSN, I'm convinced. I have to get the Vita version of this game. GOD DAMN.

Can't believe I missed this today!! So awesome, but now I have a bit of a choice to make. I want the better audio, graphics... But then again I really digged 999's dual screen format, and 3D is nice.... I really hope they have demos for both verisons, it would help. :)

Did the Japanese verison have any noteworthy streetpass features?

The Vita version at least has no street pass stuff.

Also, for a game with this much reading and listening, I definitely prefer the larger screen.

There's nothing like that in the Vita version. No clue about the 3DS one but considering this is a single player focused game, I can't imagine there being any features like that.

I'll be honest with you: if the entire extent of the streetpass stuff was "Someone in your immediate vicinity once played Zero Escape!" that would more than satisfy me

Alternatively, the streetpass stuff is actually a locked ARG metagame nonary game.

Well in terms of Near on the Vita, it'll tell you that someone in the vicinity is playing it, just like everything else.

I should also note that 999 is referenced quite a few times in-game, and while VLR does a good job of explaining stuff that's relevant, you're much better off if you experienced the events first hand

So true.

Zero Escape: 999, Zero Escape: Good People Die. Godly.

Hey, I wonder if this means another 999 print run...

Is this because of time loops? If so, this is exactly what I was hoping for from this game. This seems like such a critical element, and yet I hadn't read anything about it until now. Exciting!
