Its a shame that the Vita only has 128MB of VRAM. Perhaps had it been 256MB like the PS3 they could've had the same level of textures as the PS3 version. Furthermore, they probably could've turned on higher detail models/bump mapping during the Intros, X-Rays & Fatalities where 60 FPS wouldn't be necessary.

The Vita has more total ram then the PS3. Someone suggested on the other thread that it could also be a memory card size issue.

[MDSLKTR]

I so wanted to believe in this... MK on 360 is amazing but ehhhhhhh... Vita

so what are you doing in this thread...

[infinityBCRT]

I'm considering double dipping on this. Anyone know what the new costumes are?

Gives all the male/females ninjas their MK2/UMK3 costumes if they were in those games plus gives all the DLC characters their alts (Rains is just the UMK3 one though).

Previously most of the males had MK1 costumes but only Smoke/Noob had MK2 costumes, Sub-Zero had his MK3 costume and no one had their UMK3 costume. On the female side, two of the three had their MK2 costumes previously and all had their UMK3 costumes previously.

That'd be sucky if it was. Those cutscenes must take a hefty chunk of the space on the cart though.

[ReaperXL07]

Just added the GameInformer, and Gaming Nexus reviews, a 9, and a A respectively. Seems like it's gonna be good.

MKII variants for:
-Skarlett
-Mileena
-Sub-Zero
-Scorpion
-Reptile
-Ermac

UMK3 variants for:
-Skarlett
-Scorpion
-Sub-Zero (masked)
-Ermac
-Noob Saibot
-Smoke
-Rain
-Reptile

Alternates for:
-Kenshi
-Skarlett

Contrary to original reports (at least so far), Freddy and Rain don't have actual/new/secondary costumes (Rain's UMK3 variant is his alt).

[Medalion]

you don't even have a vita. please stop.

It's mainly a funds thing, not necessarily bias against. I actually want one for posterity reasons

vram is not the only thing that is required to display higher end textures. VITA is still not as powerful as PS3 in general so cuts have to be made in various places to get the game running at 60fps.

Wow. I love the UMK3 costumes. Think this may have put me over the edge.

I believe Reptile also has his UMK3 costume, right?

[Respawn]

Woot so getting this. Saw the thread and was like how did I miss the release today.

[giancarlo123x]

I believe Reptile also has his UMK3 costume, right?

Yes he does.

[fernoca]

Yep, missed that one. :p

Added a link to this OT in the other one too, in case others stumble onto that one and want to check some more details/reviews of the Vita version.

[Ragus]

Any info about a demo version?

EDIT: https://twitter.com/#!/noobde/status/181579558057811968

Nope :(

[Lyte Edge]

Is this also the first Vita game that offers voice chat online?

[Respawn]

Vita has party chat. Unless you mean chatting with someone in the game that's not on your friends list then that I don't know.

[DoctorWho]

Apparently this game has direct in-game chat without using the party service.

I haven't encountered that yet.

[OmegaZero]

So this version has the most Kontent?

[DoctorWho]

So this version has the most Kontent?

Kes!

[fernoca]

So this version has the most Kontent?

Yep.
-16 extra costumes (for a total of 59 alt-costumes)
-More unlockable artwork
-150 extra challenges (on a separate Challenge Tower including Vita/related challenges with motions, touchscreen, etc.)
-AR-arena (for training) lets you play on whatever the camera is aiming at

There's apparently a reward for beating the extra 150-challenges, but haven't heard word about it.
The reward for beating the original Challenge Tower was: an alt costume for Mileena -Flesh Pit Mileena-

[Forsaken82]

Also, I think this release really needed its own thread. People need to see that the Vita version is being well received despite its graphical issues.

And the developers appreciate that :P

[bobbytkc]

Kes!

That's not how you do it...
It should be
Korrect!

[dark10x]

And the developers appreciate that :P

Nice avatar.

Played the game again for the first time since the 90s. Only played it on PC but the PSX version has blown me away. No idea how they managed to pull it off at 60 fps without sacrificing the visuals.

[Drakeon]

So, is this going to have the digital discount whenever it hits the PS store (some time later tonight im assuming)? For $36 instead of $40?

[OmegaZero]

Yep. *snip*

Sounds awesome.

[Letep]

My copy just arrived. Happy to see an OT.

[Baconsammy]

Thanks for coming by to shit on it. Much appreciated.

I'm hoping so. I bought my 32 gig card for keepers like this one. Store needs to update so I can buy it.

[B.O.O.M]

man I want this so bad. But have to finish Golden Abyss and NG Sigma before getting into this. Looking forward to hear everyone's impressions of the game

[whitehawk]

Nice job deciding to use bullshots in the OP.

[dark10x]

Well, we know the image quality is poor, but it's at least a chance to see more clearly where the models are actually lacking in detail.

[impact]

Netcode impressions? Hopefully they learned their lesson this time to not release the game with unplayable online.

Thanks for coming by to shit on it. Much appreciated.

He's just salty its not on 3DS.

[DR2K]

So what does it look like on a Vita offscreen?

[DoctorWho]

Blood in the Streets

I'm dying to see this on my screen tonight so that I know how it really looks.

[csquared587]

I put hundreds of hours into the xbox version and I double dipped. I am not disappointed at all, my addiction is back.

[Trin3785]

Does anyone know how big this game is on DD?

[Noisepurge]

Yeah whats the PSN price on this? I want to have it on my memory card ALL THE TIME :D (but if its over 40 euros i'll have to get a physical copy)

[Vyse The Legend]

Does anyone know how big this game is on DD?

I think I read it would be near 3 gigs. Someone correct me, if I'm wrong.

[CrAzYLeGzLU]

I think I read it would be near 3 gigs. Someone correct me, if I'm wrong.

I'd love to have the digital version but at 3 gigs I just don't have the room.

[chickdigger802]

I think I read it would be near 3 gigs. Someone correct me, if I'm wrong.

Says 3GB on psn.

[storafötter]

I do prefer to lean on arcade sticks, but the amount of content and smoothness of this port makes it hard to avoid. I loved what I played of the console versions, so having this content rich game portable will be a dream. Unfortunately I wont be buying this game until I get a Vita.

[Shockamoto]

MK is $39.99 on the PSN store (US). It's up, you can find it in the 'Fighting Games' section

No discount + 3 GB's = Physical, it is, then.

[Cornbread78]

wow, great reviews on this one.

[Median]

Wow, 3GB digital...gonna have to clean out the fridge on the Vita real soon.

MK9 is a pad game though

Damn, I am glad I have a32 gb card but Damn. If they keep making games 3 gb Imma have to decide which games stay on it. Ugh.

No online pass though. Maybe I should wait for a used version.

[Khezu]

My hand aches just looking at that.

[impact]

That shitty stick that no one used? lol

[Jasper Avenue]

Just got home from buying this. Will be playing in about 10 minutes!
