So I bought Walking Dead Season 2 on Vita. My impressions playing through the first episode so far:
-has better graphics than the first game on the Vita. Characters have shadows and a cel-shading style outline now.
-performance is not as good as season 1. Framerate drops and becomes choppy during several segments. The decision/autosave stutters don't seem quite as bad as they were before though.
-you no longer have to pick between touch or button controls in settings. They're both always on.
-the sound quality is good, but can be crackly sounding. Not really noticeable through the system speakers, but noticeable with headphones. I think it's related to the performance and not the sound files themselves.
-save import system is reasonable, but it was annoying to have to resownload season 1 and my save file for it from PS+ cloud.
I can't compare it to the console version unfortunately. I haven't bought that one... Yet. It's pretty solid though. Framerate issues don't make it unplayable at all.
So does anyone know how the save transfer works on walking dead season 2 for vita? Just wondering if it could read my cloud save from the first season, or if I have to download the whole game again for season 2 to read it. Anyone?
If you have the digital version of season 1, you have to have it installed on your memory card, and when you make a new game in season 2, it will look for the data. If you have a physical copy, click the playstation suitcase icon on the live area screen of season 2.
