Wait so this is basically Burnout with licensed cars?
eh... yeah. And copchases

This looks legitimately great. +1 purchase.
What I can tell you is that while I wasn’t at all blown away by the game’s aesthetics, I was certainly interested in its precise controls and sprawling environments. You won’t at all mistake Vita’s iteration of Most Wanted as a PS3 game – not even close – but it seems like it will give players an interesting, if not complementary racing experience on the go when they simply can’t be in front of their PS3s.
Well that's disappointing to hear.I found this quote from Colin Moriarty interesting, regarding his hands on time with the Vita version.

Interesting that he makes a point of saying "wasn't at all blown away", and "you won't mistake the Vita version for the PS3 game, not even close".
I guess this is going to bring expectations down to earth, and it is a little disappointing to find out the Vita is not as powerful as people may have been hoping. Criterion was even quoted as saying "The Vita wasn't as powerful as we were led to believe" when they first showed the Vita version a couple months ago.

But but Vita is a Portable Ps3.I found this quote from Colin Moriarty interesting, regarding his hands on time with the Vita version.

It's a good thing nobody but morons expected the Vita to have the power and graphical capabilities of the PS3.
I would just like to point out that we do know exactly how powerful the vita was right from the beginning, and it is nowhere near the capabilities if a ps3. Expecting anything else is just wishful expectation.I found this quote from Colin Moriarty interesting, regarding his hands on time with the Vita version.

We know the Vita isn't as powerful as the PS3! It's been out for ages. I think we could safely say it wasn't a portable PS3 long before it was even released. These sound like the sort of comments you'd expect before the hardware hit the shelves.I found this quote from Colin Moriarty interesting, regarding his hands on time with the Vita version.

I don't think anyone expected a PS3 game, but as long as I have the PS3 game's content down to pocket size I'll be on board day 1.
I'd rather go by all of the video footage than what he says. And the video footage looks great to me
colin probably thinks the game shouldn't be on vita

These are fair expectations based on some of the early games.There was a lot of talk early on about how the Vita was going to be pushing near PS3 visuals. I had hopes that if that was true, Criterion would be the ones to prove it, and that's why I'm disappointed to see how Most Wanted on Vita turned out.

I mean, Virtua Tennis 4, Marvel vs Capcom 3, and a number of other games look and run just as well as the PS3 versions and are very impressive to behold. Then you have games like Uncharted producing visuals not too far off from what you'd expect out of PS3. Taking those examples together with the fact that they were early launch games it's not unrealistic to expect improvements. We didn't know how far the system could be pushed just yet.
There there were several 1:1 ports PS3->Vita already, those alone serve a reasonable definition of "near". There's also original games that do a decent job at mimicking 1st gen PS3 titles (like Uncharted), so everything beyond that is just selective reasoning and moving the goal posts (in either direction).BruiserBear said:There was a lot of talk early on about how the Vita was going to be pushing near PS3 visuals.

I have to say nothing blows Moriarty away. He is one of the harshest critics I ever read (to games/genres that he doesn't like)
Harsh isn't how I'd describe someone who panned a minimalist action game for being a hack-n-slash that tried to do "too much".
So I guess what I'm saying is that the Vita can produce near PS3 visuals within certain limitations, but an open world like Most Wanted is asking a lot of the hardware, and that's where it's true limitations were revealed.
I don't think you can say anything educated about the Vita's limitations. Comparing mature 6+ year old power hungry consoles and tools against a new portable console that runs on phone hardware and has a five hour battery life is beyond silly. So many variables beyond hardware come into play, dev team strengths, size, experience, budget, etc. System tool maturity. In the six years the same game might look or run 50% better.
Hmm have not seen any footage of the game (other than the reveal) of the game running on other hardware. Is the damage model also gimped in them? (Coming from burnout more than NFS)
You can't wreck licensed cars that badly. Manufacturers won't let you.
lol what game is that? (just for context)
El Shaddai.
Looks like the Vita version has auto-pilot.
But I think it only shares the points you earn?
It looks great but the only way i'm buying this is if we can launch the events on-the-fly via an in game menu instead of actually driving to the event everytime,so will the vita version have such a feature?
Right,thx.Yep! I specifically remember hearing it in one of the many videos I've seen - it was PC though..but going on what we've heard and seen I expect it's in the Vita version too. Great feature, don't remember it being in BP...really will help to get some good races going - less time wasting and messing around as I could hardly remember the race circuits in BP with the revving at a traffic light to start a race way.
Interview about Vita build: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012...erview-under-the-hood-of-the-ps-vita-version/
still no real media... poor show EA (still getting the game but why are they refusing to show any real media e.g direct feed video or trailer)
Because they probably don't think it's going to sell and therefore it's not worth the time of releasing media for it. That's the unfortunate truth.
It doesn't really take time to put a Vita video on Youtube. They also did take the time to do an interview about the Vita version.
I still think it's because they're worried about the reception the Vita version is going to get, in direct comparison to the amazing visuals we've all been seeing of the game running on PC and HD consoles.
