review Wipeout 2048 Eurogamer
They also say that the framerate is not stable...I hope they were playing an older build or the preview version :/
What's up with Modnation Racers demo? I tried that one out as well and, man, it was pretty awful. Lengthy loading times (a staple for the series) mixed with a god awful framerate and ugly visuals really kills any appeal it might otherwise have.
The rest of the demos were solid, but Modnation was just terrible. Is there any indication that the final game will run any faster?

30fps with copious slowdown, and the cars don't even cast shadows of any kind on the track. Gotta love it.
Yes it is great looking and I cant wait for mine!
It's nice to hear the word "queue" used about your experience at Game. That means other people are interested!

Since Sony doesn't moneyhat exclusive games but instead try and entice with content, I'm wondering if Sony might stump up some of the cost of a Vita port and help with its development. In the end it helps them out. If you can buy "Skyrim 2: The Return of Backwards Dragons" on your 360, or on the Playstation "platform" which would allow you to move your save between devices it makes a compelling argument to go with the Sony version. That means more license fees for Sony. Just an idea. And I think we've been told before that porting is fairly simple because the Vita can use all the shaders and crap. Everything just needs lower res textures and lower poly models.
I'm surprised that they had any issues wit the framerate not being stable. Most of the user reviews have said its rock solid and beautiful.

Modnation PS3 was also 30fps if i'm not mistaken and it had no effect on the gameplay in my opinion. If the Vita version has slowdown however, that is an issue that affects gameplay. Do you have any videos that shows plenty of slowdowns? And what do you mean that the cars dont cast any kind of shadow on the track?

Yep, i agree that this is a good idea. I'm sure that we will see some deals where there is some type of cross play between the PS3 and Vita, but i'm not sure if everyone will make such a solution. Only time will tell though

i mean
can you download a game like uncharted on psn and share it to another vita?
you pay once and download it 2 times into to vitas
I disagree with a lot of the Eurogamer review, but they're right there - the framerate drops when there's a lot going on.
No, they're still pretty expensive.
Not sure, but I would think that it would only work if the 2 Vitas use the same SEN account as the PS3.
I was hoping it has full english like other asian versions..oh well,fortunately there is a retail release for the US version.
It's a retailer meeting so expect Wal-Mart to shit themselves when they realize they ordered 200k of these unsellable handhelds.

Does Vita have universal/OS-based custom soundtrack support (like 360), or is it a per-game basis like PS3?
Looking forward to putting some tunes on Ridge Racer Vita and Katamari for example...but the fact they have paid DLC music packs for RR makes me think the answer is it's a per-game basis.

Nice.
Wouldn't it be Sony's job to instill confidence? So they would have to show retailers what they have planned for the rest of the year no?
iirc there was no release date given in first place for the US release at all in first place, Yoshida sama sensei only said it will be on launch window (first three months I guess?)

well this one is specifically about the game lineup while the other one is focused on the launch of the system
doesn't the western one have also a game lineup ? really I'm confused :/

Yeah, but once the system launches, conversations about non-launch titles will be drowned out by the release hype and the day one lineup. This thread needs to remain open as a longer-term Vita discussion thread.
Plus, where else can I profess my undying love for "Untitled Hideo Kojima game"?

I've noticed this thread has become the designated JP Vita thread after the actual JP thread was locked.

aww that sucks. I was looking forward to the game.
I'm predicting if one game is going to bomb on Vita, it will be this. Poorly made PS3/PSP game with very average sales along with no online multiplayer in the PSVita version that the PS3 and even PSP version had. I shouldn't say no online multiplayer as you can race ghosts from the leaderboard but there's no head to head racing online.

Am I the only one that feels like the coolest thing about the Vita is the AR games and possibilities to come?I find that the single coolest thing about the VIta, otherwise its just a really small PS3 with a screen.

it has a launch lineup
Fixed it. After spending some time with it, the touchscreen is what makes it feel different from a PS3 or even a PSP.
ChocolatePuddin
Member
What is the touchscreen like?I have an iphone would you say its very similar?Also do you feel the AR games loose their unique feel very quickly and are more of a 10 minute gimmick at this point?
Marty Chinn

The 3DS AR stuff has been more gimmick than cool possibilities so far. Based on that, I'm a bit reserved about expecting anything to be cool about it.
At first I was angry that the screen isn't glass, because it's a bit resistant to flicking if you've only used iPhone so far. That said, I quickly got used to it and now I think it's even better than on iPhone 4.

Do you feel its stupid to want to get a vita mostly for the AR games?Or do you think that there is a lot of game time to get out of them, and that its worth a purchase?
Marty Chinn
Member
I haven't tried any of the Vita AR stuff, so I can't say for sure, but the 3DS stuff was certainly not worthwhile to center your purchase on and I think Nintendo put a decent amount of effort into it. Heck, I bought Nintendogs soley because of the AR stuff.
ChocolatePuddin
Member
Maybe your right, I should wait a bit to see if they bring anything out that makes the AR a true show piece, like a full fledged game that uses the different surfaces as levels or something.That Reality fighters looks really interesting.Also will the vita do the whole play a game on your PS3 then carry on playing it on your vita on the move?I heard that somewhere.
Marty Chinn

Ya, you can do that if games support it. MLB The Show is going to do that and so is Motorstorm RC.

I,ll check it out, Ok last question, do you guys feel that the Vita could double as a tablet?I am interested in the ipad 3 because I love playing games on my iphone and watching movies and music ect.But I would never really use an ipad for work purposes, I might take notes on it at most.
Do you feel I could maybe get a vita instead, it obviously has better games,it does movies music pics ect.Do you feel a vita could be an alternative to an ipad in this case?
Marty Chinn

Unless you're just using your tablet to play media, probably not. Even if it's just media, probably not going to replace a tablet. It'll be a lot more limited because the app selection will be by far more limited.
ChocolatePuddin
Member
But what it lacks in apps it makes up for in AAA games.You can surf the net on it, in fact besides the apps wouldn't you say the vita is the better way to go, and its half the price of an Ipad, but then again games are really pricey.
Marty Chinn
Member
You have an iPhone; you'd be better off using that instead for that type of stuff.
for surfing the net yes, for playing games God no,
ChocolatePuddin
Member
Yep I have an iphone, so in a way I can still get all the latest apps, so then to buy an ipad 3 just to use for note taking and the apps and movies would make no sense.I think the Vita would be the better option instead of an ipad.Is the vita able to take notes?can you buy a keyboard attachments ?
I've had an iPad 2 for almost a year now and there's no way I would replace it with a Vita. I use it for notes, textbooks, web surfing (which amazing on a tablet) etc. The Vita will certain replace the majority of the mobile gaming I do though. And thank god for that. There are some great iOS games and all but the ratio of crap : good is pretty bad. So I'd say the Vita is a good supplement to an iPad. Not an alternative though unless you only want an iPad for games.
There's none out as far as I know, but you can use the keyboard on the touch screen

Whats it like surfing the web on the Vita?I think Sony should of tried to make the Vita an alternative to a tablet instead of a supplement.They would have to add on a few extra basics like a note taker,book reading app type program and maybe one or two other things so that people could actually use a vita instead of an ipad for there day to day media and work functions.
I think that might be Vita's downfall because people are still saying they would rather use there ipads for most media they view, and I am sure the head of Sony did not want that to be the case.So ya I think the Wii U has the better direction in trying to replace your Ipad while still offering a AAA game system.

Not bad, but forget Flash and HTML5, at least for now.
