Stupid question, but are the Vita and PS3 version the exact same? Are there any differences what so ever between the two?

Ooh, awesome. Hope you'll be doing a video review. Your videos are great.
I will be doing a review of course! The code I got enabled me to get the PS3 and Vita version. So I'll cover the overall game and make a slight mention about the two versions. Thanks for the comments about the reviews, I've finally found the video review style I absolutely love creating.
From what I can tell so far, other then the touch screen stuff, exact.

I'm resolved to buy it on the vita, but not sure if that's the right choice. My son likes these style of games but probably won't buy 2 copies of the game on vita.
Is this a DD as well (PS3)?

Apparently, the Vita version is not close to the steady 60FPS of the PS3 version (slowdown with lots of enemies on-screen), so if that sort of thing bothers you, it may be worth taking a second look. However, having the game on-the-go seems like a definite and obvious plus in the Vita's favor.

not to mention the price...
having 2 kids doesn't allow for many "sessions" where i get to camp in front of the TV for long periods of time.

Oh look, another Dragon's Crown thread where I can plug the player list. If you're planning on getting it consider signing up to make finding people to play with easier. If you signed in at the very beginning and not been back recently, some new categories were added (region of your game, first class you plan on using, the latter is a poll and will have a graph when enough responses are available).
Shared trophy is no surprise to me, Guacamelee had cross save that that had a shared trophy list.

Haven't seen this YET on the Vita but wouldn't surprise me as battles get crazier, though for how good it looks and that this is just the type of game you'd want for a portable experience, I'd still reccomend it.

It means that if you have both versions of the game your trophy data will carry over between them instead of having separate lists for the PS3 and Vita. Some trophy hunters end up buying two versions of a game they like in order to fill both trophy lists.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
No Double Platinum Goodness
Some Games get Double Platinums, 1 for PS3/PSN and 1 for Vita, 2 of the same Trophy Sets
Recently a lot of titles that are both released simultaneously on the PS3/PSN + Vita have been 1 shared Trophy Set
So either earn all on one system or take your save to the other system to continue, can earn trophies on both platforms, just move the save around and keep earning trophies
I wanted 2 Trophy Sets =/
Like Sly 4, Sound Shapes, etc. because they had the Cross Buy feature aka YOPO (You Only pay Once)
Dragon's Crown is 2 different version, but they still share the same list >_<
I could save $40, will lose the artbook for the Vita version....
Thinking of canceling Vita version
1 Artbook + PS3 version
Examples: (Yes I like Double + Triple Dipping, sometime you have to earn all your Platinums, sometimes Insta-PING!)

As much as I love my Vita, I think I will be going with the PS3 version at first. I am so funny about my stuff, I keep looking at my black Vita and thinking I like the White version more, so I may save up and switch over from black to white. I wish they would drop the price so I could get a white one and keep my black one...
But at first its the PS3 version.
But at first its the PS3 version.
Lazy writing just confuses and upsets people. What this means:
- Character data is saved to the PS3 account you're logged into.
- If Alice and Bob are playing together on Alice's couch and logged into Alice's account, then both Alice's character and Bob's character will be saved to Alice's account.
- This is the opposite of, say, LittleBig Planet 2, where each character needed their own account for progress to be saved. In LBP2, if Alice and Bob were playing on Alice's account, Bob would need to create an account on Alice's PS3 and connect his character to it every time they played together or his progress would not be saved.
- If Alice is playing in Janesville, WI, and Carol is playing in Blacksburg, VA, Alice's progress is saved to Alice's PS3 and Carol's progress is saved to Carol's PS3.
- If Alice and Bob are playing in Janesville and are joined by Carol playing in Blacksburg, then Alice's character and Bob's character are saved to Alice's account and Carol's character is saved to Carol's account.
- If Carol flies out to Janesville and sit downs on the couch with Alice and Bob for some Dragon's Crown, then Alice and Bob will have access to their characters but Carol won't have access to her character (which is saved to Carol's PS3 back in Blacksburg).
- If Alice and Bob are playing together on Alice's couch and logged into Alice's account, then both Alice's character and Bob's character will be saved to Alice's account.
Yeah, to be more specific, this is what Chris Carter says in in the comments of his preview: "I believe it's running at, or near 60 FPS on the PS3 -- if not, I can'[t] tell. On the Vita, I know it's less, as there is some slowdown during larger fights."Haven't seen this YET on the Vita but wouldn't surprise me as battles get crazier, though for how good it looks and that this is just the type of game you'd want for a portable experience, I'd still reccomend it.

With Dragon's Crown you are getting charged twice...
Contemplating dropping the Vita version, would love to support Vanillaware, I mean I'm torn here =/
On one end I get another artbook + Vita version + Vanilla gets money
or
I save $40 and move that over to Killzone Mercenary

So I keep it for what?
OLED Goodness
I agree that it makes no sense to share trophy lists if there is no cross-buy/play. It wouldn't make me cancel my pre-order, but I sure don't understand it.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
I can get the Vita version down the line when it's on sale, will just get the DD version 6-12 months after release
Yeah PS3 for me, removed Vita version, moved money over to Killzone Mercenary
No, you keep it for the obvious reason any sane person would buy the console and portable version for, use the console version at home and the portable version on the go. Sheesh, trophies/achievements love is so overrated
Can you follow battles and characters on the Vita screen? As I said in the gameplay footagevthread, sometimes I couldn't follow the action on my 23 inch pc monitor. I want it on Vita for portability, but on PS3 for performance and to actually see all the details of the art. Decisions, decisions.

Exactly. Modern gamers are so baffling.
You're looking at this from the perspective of a trophy whore. Most people just want to earn their trophy once and be done with it. If there are trophies for, say, Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, and someone earns Chapter 1 on Vita, Chapter 2 on PS3, and Chapter 3 on Vita, then they're going to be upset that now they have to make a new save and go back and get Chapter 1 on PS3, Chapter 2 on Vita, and Chapter 3 on PS3 and "it's so stupid that they make me get each trophy twice FU Atlus."

Yeah, No, don't try to paint me in the just play it once and earn double trophies corner
Don't assume you know why I'm just a little mad
Go look up at post #111
I had to earn all 3 Demon's Souls Platinums, no Insta-Ping
Same goes for Rocketbirds, Saint's Row The Third, Lego Batman, and Killzone 3
Sound Shapes was Insta-Ping!
I wanted to 2 different Trophy sets
I would have loved earning both versions, hell just add 1 extra bronze trophy of using the touchscreen to open a chest, viola, a new trophy set is born

This is basically the way I looked at it. Since you can move easily move your save from one to the other, it doesn't make much sense to have separate Trophies for both...though I'm not sure if there are some other games out there that disregard that.
Don't really care much for Trophies and Achievements myself, though. I only go after them if I'm really bored and want an excuse to keep playing something, but I've only completed, like...one retail game, which is Tekken 6, and that was easy. No offense to anyone who likes them, though.
Anyway...where are all of the game impressions, man?

I don't even like to call them that. :-/ I need to come up with some kind of derogatory term to separate them from me.Exactly. Modern gamers are so baffling.
I must have missed the part where I said whatever you think I said, because I didn't say anything like that.

Your post...
You assumed that I was a trophy whore asking for more trophies w/o putting in the work
You even said, they would get pissed if they have to re-earn all of them all over again and complain to Atlus

I'm curious about this as well. Regardless, I still double dip for both versions (got some BestBuy bux lying around for this).
Really... oh fuck yes xD. Nice little added bonus that is, being able to appreciate the art even more seeing it in glorious 1080p
Oh my gosh
I didn't say anything about you. I wasn't responding to you. I don't even know you.
I was responding to ironchair (not you) and his comment of, essentially, "I don't understand why they would use a shared trophy list." I said that most people (not you), upon finishing the game, would rather have one trophy instead of two half-trophies.
Now, as for you, looking back over your posts in this thread, I can assume a lot about your psychological well-being, but, honestly? I don't care. You're an overly-defensive belligerent seemingly incapable of reading comprehension or constructive conversation. I'd rather you just go away.
Great. I have 1080p streaming set up now ready for this beautiful game.

It wouldn't surprise me if it's simply an upscale to 1080p instead of native resolution.

Yep, I'm currently playing as the Fighter, and he specifically has a block when you hold down the attack button. There is also a skill you can purchase which lets you press the attack button immediately after blocking an attack to parry.
