Nice the plan is coming together.

Looks quite impressive. And this is just launch software. I can't wait to see what SCE comes up with two, three years from now.

I really wish this had multiplayer with cross compatibility with Uncharted 3.

I'm assuming you have not worked with developing for the Vita and don't know much about programming open world games. Neither do I, but RDR and GTA4 are not good examples from a technical standpoint when Just Cause 2 have better graphics, far larger world and the main character can move around at far greater speed. The draw distance is rather fantastic too.Mr_Brit said:
Also, remember Vita only need to push 0.52 megapixels due to the resolution, compared to a regular HD game which pushes 0.92 megapixels or FullHD which is around 2,1 megapixels.
Wow scolded by a junior who assumes I know as little as he does, you won't last here for long. I know enough to know that RDR/GTA IV are a lot more technically impressive on consoles over JC2, the animation, geometry and AI alone are more impressive than any other open world games by far never mind the full package. JC2 is impressive but you can't use it as a barometer for knowing the viability of a GTA IV/RDR port to Vita.Shtof said:
The Edge cover for Vita this month nails my sentiment on it when you see stuff like this.
But it's not just redefining the state of the art of mobile gaming, IMO, it's giving us advance access to next-next(-next?)-gen mobile/ios gaming but in 6 months (assuming the mobile market rises to support development investments like this in the first place - which may still be questionable). When a dedicated handheld can offer this kind of leap forward into the future, it shows why they still have a role IMO.

Here's what I think:gofreak said:
Will tablets and phones be able to run Vita graphics in 6 months to a year? Sure, they'll have the capability, but the controls will continue to be limited to multi-touch only, with the occasional gyroscope.
Vita is going to have staying power because of its tablet touch/gyro capabilities AND traditional controls.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: The smartest thing that Sony can do with the Vita right now is to open it up to App development, making it gaming first, tablet second. That PSP digital comic reader's going to have to make some sort of translation into the Vita; that much is certain, at least.

Of course, the same thing happened on PSP. The first Syphon Filter was really amazing looking (even though only like 4 people noticed), but there wasn't a great leap over that, even with Bend's later titles (and again, nothing from a third party really touched it).
A big factor is just how much time & money developers will put in.

I'm hoping Cambridge can get Killzone Vita to not look like arse. They are a great team.
Bend have done a fantastic job with this. Amazing work.

I'm afraid that Uncharted will end up going in the same direction as God of War, with multiple side-stories that hit all the beats and do nothing beyond that.
Expect a mystical sci-fi plot twist in the last 2-3 chapters.

WoW! This game looks freaking amazing for a portable. I can believe a first gen game can look that good!
For this comparison, the vita game has a better Drake as grass models and better leaf textures.
But the Ps3 has better light, a lot more geometry, better rock textures and, I believe better physics, but this we can't see in pics.
This game is not looking better than uncharted 1 on Ps3... but its look SO GOOD for a portable game and have so many details, that make the Vita look more impressive than PSP when first showed (it was very impressive for its time too).

If that's true, boo-urns. Uncharted MP on the go would be fantastic.
This is probably stupid but I have not been following the Vita in a long long time so I have one question:
Was there any confirmation that it is possible to connect my Vita on my TV and play it with my PS3 controller and if not, just play it the Vita itself but on a big screen? I need that Drake on a bigger screen.
Sorry for the dumb question, thanks in advance for answering

The lighting in UC1 looks like a little higher quality implementation to my eye - might be the use of some kind of atmospheric scattering? - and hard to say from these shots, but shadowing is probably better there too.
I like the coloring of the Vita shot more though. More an artistic choice than technical merit probably, but I'm sure it'll play to the screen's strengths very well.
But anyway, the overall result is pretty amazing.

It looks shockingly good... just wish they'd hurry up and annouce the ability to stream vita games to the TV via PS3.

There's a bit more to that cliff though.

Vita doesn't have a TV out port on the production units (though the devkits do). Probably because Sony still wants to sell PS3s in Japan. So don't expect a true union between Vita and TV until PS4.
Just saw the trailer, I hope they fix the mouth animations :-/. I miss those pre-rendered cutscenes from the Dogs.
Does anyone else think in the next two years we'll see a Vita Phone? Since Vita uses off the shelf parts, could it be that hard to include a future Cortex A9 processor that could function essentially as a Phone but emulate 100% Vita?
