The resolution is fucked up.

[Galvanise_]

Post them at the size/resolution of the Vita screen. It also looks beautiful in motion.

[Ragus]

what the fuck? I was going to buy this game, but I'm not paying 40$ for something like this. new game modes are cool, but come on... seriously? I hope they will prepare a demo version.

[JakkuFurosu]

i hate how vita takes screenshots @vita rez these most likely beautiful

[jett]

good lawd that looks awful. even the HUD is sub-HD, not a single fuck was given. it appeared to look nice in motion, were they advertising this with PS360 footage? :P

[Krev]

If looks like if it weren't for no Unreal support on 3DS, the system could easily handle it. Hell, as Spiegel says, even PSP could.

[Synless]

Looks like shit, up-sized or not.

[Xater]

That looks like quite the downgrade.

[snoopeasystreet]

OP means 3DS and not vita, right?

[brandonh83]

cool, they gave Freddy's claws serrated edges.

[lowrider007]

It will look fine on the actual device, at the right size, and in motion, screen shots like these never look pretty on conventional pc monitors enlarged.

[Mpl90]

If looks like if it weren't for no Unreal support on 3DS, the system could easily handle it. Hell, as Spiegel says, even PSP could.

Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition for 3DS has much better character models.

[V_Ben]

Well, it does run at 60fps on a handheld. So sacrifices had to be made. I'm sure it looks excellent in motion, and also when the images are the size of the Vita's screen.

Edit: At least the backgrounds are reasonably detailed. It looks like they just downgraded everything though...

[Square Triangle]

Why are they still making PSP games?

[Krev]

Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition for 3DS has much better character models.

So does Dead or Alive: Dimensions.
This looks incredibly phoned in.

[InfiniteNine]

Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition for 3DS has much better character models.

Doesn't that run on MT Framework though?

[Flame Lord]

Holy fuck that looks like shit.

[BY2K]

Doesn't that run on MT Framework though?

MT Framework Mobile.

[AAK]

If it maintains 60fps, then I don't mind.

[LiquidSolid]

Ahahaha, what? No, these are pathetic. Here's a write-up from someone that actually has the game.

Also, resolution != screen size.

[Reversed]

*Hugs his PS3 MK9*

Way different from what I've seen in the trailers. :/

[Dynamite Shikoku]

lol

[DECK'ARD]

This sums up the feeling of looking at these character models pretty well.

[CSX]

psp port to vita CONFIRMED!

[lowrider007]

Also, resolution != screen size.

/\

The pixel density is much larger in those images, that makes a massive difference.

These screens are at the exact same res as the Vita's screen.

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

These screens are at the exact same res as the Vita's screen.

Reals?

[tkscz]

OP means 3DS and not vita, right?

That's Tekken on the 3DS, it runs at 60 FPS even with the 3D on and looks better than this.

Though give Netherrelm some credit, first to use the UE3 engine on the PSV, and got it to run at 60 FPS. Probably would've been better to use a custom engine, or make my dreams come true and use sprites.

[V_Ben]

Reals?

Yes, but the Vita's screen isn't as big as the native resolution of the images. It has a higher pixel density. So, the image looks better on the screen.

[Darklord]

I didn't realize this was a port of Mortal Kombat 4.

[Horse Armour]

Reals?

Every image posted is 960x544 which is the exact same as the Vita's screen.

Yes, but the Vita's screen isn't as big as the native resolution of the images. It has a higher pixel density. So, the image looks better on the screen.

What? Vita's screen is eaxctly the same as the native resolution of the images.

[heringer]

Damn, Vita can't catch a break.

[JakkuFurosu]

lol the vita screen is not that big.

[Agent X]

That's how I feel.

I was looking forward to the game, and the early impressions were positive, but the graphical downgrade in these screens is a kick in the teeth.

I'd love to have a playable demo. Perhaps fluid 60 fps animation could be the saving grace, because the modeling and textures on display here are surely disappointing.

[Xater]

That's Tekken on the 3DS, it runs at 60 FPS even with the 3D on and looks better than this. Though give Netherrelm some credit, first to use the UE3 engine on the PSV, and got it to run at 60 FPS. Probably would've been better to use a custom engine, or make my dreams come true and use sprites.

Yeah I would guess the real problem is the engine they use. It was probably not otherwise feasible to make UE3 run at 60fps on the Vita. Well if this is the result it's probably a port that was not needed.

[V_Ben]

Every image posted is 960x544 which is the exact same as the Vita's screen. What? Vita's screen is eaxctly the same as the native resolution of the images.

Yes, but looking at the images on a monitor is very different to looking at them on a screen the size of the Vita's. Resolution does not equal screen size.

[Horse Armour]

lol the vita screen is not that big.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Yes, but looking at the images on a monitor is very different to looking at them on a screen the size of the Vita's. Resolution does not equal screen size.

There's nothing stopping anyone from viewing these shots on a Vita or similar sized screen. People trying to paint these screens as wrong/misleading don't know what they're talking about.

[lowrider007]

What? Vita's screen is eaxctly the same as the native resolution of the images.

Do you really not understand what pixel density means?

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

:-/

[nowai]

Wow, game looks awful...but I don't know why you'd ever play MK over UMvC3 on any system.

[Galvanise_]

The screen isn't that large. If these images were converted to the actual size of the Vitas screen, they'd look a lot better.

[fabricated backlash]

OP means 3DS and not vita, right?

This looks bad even for 3DS standards. DOA:D looks better than this. What the hell happened?

[Auto_aim1]

It's probably gonna look like this on the Vita.

[MisterHero]

Did they do more to the models than remove normal maps? o_O

That Reptile model looks like it could've been from MK4

[Horse Armour]

The screen isn't that large. If these images were converted to the actual size of the Vitas screen, they'd look a lot better.

Like I said, nothing stopping anyone viewing these on a Vita or similar sized screen to emulate the effect. These screens have no inherent size since that assumes everyone is viewing them on the same device.

[LiquidSolid]

/\ The pixel density is much larger in those images, that makes a massive difference. \/

I know, that was my point.

But even if you downscale them to the Vita's screen size, those screens are pathetic. They really need to ditch UE3.

[The Faceless Master]

stand further away?

they're the pixel perfect resolution.

[Djin1979]

Major downgrade !

It hurts :P

[lowrider007]

I know, that was my point. But even if you downscale them to the Vita's screen size, those screens are pathetic. They really need to ditch UE3.

I agree, they are not brilliant, but they will look a lot better on the system.

[Diablohead]

i'm going to blame UE3 overhead here, the vita is easily able to do better.. and is that less then native res?

Oh man.
