New Vita Press release - games list, battery life ('3-5 hours'), memory card info
- Thread starter gofreak
- Start date
After reading of the personal chargers, I feel like I'm back to the GameGear era. Only much better :-DAizu_Itsuko said:
Only for "certain games", since normaly the gamedata is directly saved to the gamecard.Cmagus said:
My guess would be stuff like "Little Big Planet" levels.

Correct but you can still save onto the cartridges, like you can with 3DS games. There's also enough room for some DLC.

I think you save games on each individual game cartridge.
iPhone has better battery life, awesome.
Oh please, 9hours standby music playback? My iPhone can do upwards of 40hours. Video is easily 9-10 hours.
Of course, this is to a bigger extent our battery technology but you can't just give them a free pass when their competition can do A LOT better.

The question was answered like this:fernoca said:
To me, that is someone ignoring the first question and answering the second one.

I'm not criticising the answer, I'm just saying that the answer is not a straight-up confirmation that is impossible to make the Vita do video output like Destructoid and fernoca are suggesting.Billychu said:

Please back up your point.rezuth said:
Here's how!
Play Infinity Blade at max brightness from a full charge until a dead battery. Please report back on how long it lasted.
Ready?
GO!

Am I missing something? I searched all over and can't find if they officially announced the price of the games yet. Is that the last unknown for the system?
Jesus, ignoring my posts about music and video playback much?Princess Skittles said:
"After playing the game for about 30 mins, my iPhone 4's battery was drained by about 10% on about 2 thirds brightness, So that would be about 5 hours worth of battery life playing it constantly" Seems on par when it comes to gaming.

If it doesn't have the video output FEATURE then of course it won't have a cable. Sounds like both questions were answered

By feature do you mean in terms of the firmware? Because that can be updated in time. And the connector on the bottom of the Vita looks very similar to an Apple dock connector, which could have an adapter made for it very similar to the Digital AV Adapter that Apple offers for the iPad 2 and other iOS devices.Zoramon089 said:

you can't put a price on sparks
rezuth said:
do you even know what you're talking about? the vita is like 15 times as powerful as an iphone. it has about a hundred more extra features in it, too.

Hmm.rezuth said:
Nice edit. <3
I didn't ignore them. People will be buying a Vita primarily (or solely) to play video games. If you're going to talk about how awesome the glorious iPhone's battery is, compare them at that level.rezuth said:
The truth is that all comparable portable hardware are dealing with similar battery levels.
Yes, I'm aware. Does it really need all those features when playing back music? Don't give them a free pass for being lazy.davepoobond said:
Thanks, see unlike you I understand when I'm wrongPrincess Skittles said:
I never talked about how glorious the iPhone battery is, quite the contrary. I'm talking about how shit the Vita battery is.
So we can only compare at select features and not the whole overall? Great idea
I think it is total bullshit that my phone can playback audio about four times longer than this new device with a greater battery.

Maybe these memory cards are optimized for fast loading.
Fernando Rocker said:
Yeah, it's specifically Mario Galaxy that makes me doubt Revelation. Nintendo might be a hardware generation behind as a company right now, but they generally do a good job getting the most out of their box. That's why I can't believe Capcom is so far ahead of everyone, including Nintendo. And it's not just art style. There's no similar example of dynamic lighting on 3DS. Nothing comes close.

Would that make them faster than the typical SD card or memory stick?Billychu said:

Why can't they use a SDXC instead again? =[... the 32g isn't... THAT... bad... =/

If you want to continue on how much better the iPhone is at playing mp3s than the Vita, I suggest moving to this thread instead of derailing this one:rezuth said:

I have no doubt they're probably making a healthy margin on those memory cards, but I'm guessing they're also using a higher class of flash - something more reliable in burst and access time. Comparing to the cheapest SDXC you can find on amazon doesn't really work, per se, because you end up comparing two different grades of chips.
H_Prestige is probably right - they're probably basically just empty data cards that would otherwise be used to store games themselves (since I think they still aren't using ROM, I vaguely recall?)
I think $99.99 for the 32GB card is probably a lock. This 3G unit is getting expensive, fast. -_-;;;

I don't use a Mac or a Windows PC. I use a Linux distribution (Fedora). Even though Sony uses GPL software left and right, they don't support Linux desktops for their apps, at all. II'm even more screwed.
I also don't like the battery life. WTF am I supposed to do if the bat is about to die and there's no outlet in sight? At least with the PSP I can pop in my second battery.

Yes, that was known from the start.Juancho9 said:

Sony apparently started some sort of poll/survey on the JP Playstation forums asking what features people most wanted in the Vita. An HDMI Out Dock was like number 1 or 2. I'm unsure if Sony created the list of options, or if it was all "write-ins" from the users.
