I can only guess turning off the screenshot function is just Capcom being Capcom.

Just bitched to @Capcom_Unity about that. Let's see if they will reply.

I am not sure I buy the spoiler argument in Marvel vs. Capcom 3

Well the difference here is that devs have to disable it themselves. On the PS3 it was the other way, they had to make the game support it.
That's what I said, plus spoilers can be subjective. What a developer considers a spoiler may not really be a spoiler. Even so, we can still take a picture with a camera if they disallow it.
I don't think that's important. It's a feature that Sony introduced and just like custom soundtracks on the PS3, just like the screenshot function on the PS3, they give the developer / publisher the chance to simply not support it – I don't think it's important wether they have to actively do something or not.
The idea „let publisher decide“ is a huge problem of Sony this generation. It's the reason content on the PAL PSN gets delayed constantly, it's the reason why we don't have a lot of demos for PSN games, it's the reason some of PS3's features are nothing but laughable (custom soundtrack, video recording, screenshot feature) and I want Sony to finally acknoledge that what's good for the publisher isn't necessarily the best thing for your customers. Microsoft has very strict rules about everything but that's partly the reason why everything on the Xbox 360 seems to work so seemlessly.
Time to create a YouTube channel filled with videos of the parts of games publisher won't let you take you screenshots of.

That rocks thanks! While simple its one of the things I love about the PS3/PSP.
Yeah pretty much, oh Capcom.....

Too bad there's no video out....
It's to avoid spoilers.
The difference is custom soundtracks and the screenshot feature uses extra resources (CPU time, RAM), while I assume the screenshot feature on Vita doesn't (hence it being on by default, and the PS3 features being off).

So what? 360/PS3 games "fool" you into thinking it looks better than it actually does, but in the end what matters are results.

I am still not getting what people have to complain about with Vita's graphics, its the most graphically impressive portable to date, and this is just the launch games I can't wait to see what devs can do 3 yrs in.

Are they all jpegs so far? Out of the PS3 games with screenshots that I've tried (not just by the XMB but in stuff like Uncharted 2 and DC Universe too) MAG has turned out the best because it was in PNG format. Everything else has terrible jpg compression.
It's probably just Capcom being dicks.
3 years is a long time. Imagine how powerful the tablets / smartphones will be by then.
Oh snap, Morgan Haro just jumped into my Twitter conversation, basically agreeing with me that it should have no restrictions:
"@MorganHaro
@yosp @wario64 Spoilers are available at YouTube and everywhere else. hope to see system wide screenshots in an update."

Cost 3x as much + how robust can a game for 0.99$ be?

Specs won't make a difference for smartphones/tablets as long as only a few developers (ex. Epic, Rockstar, EA) bother to utilize all that extra power.
The race to the bottom app pricing scheme that both consumers and publishers have encouraged effectively ensures that no smartphone game will ever have the budget of something like Uncharted. So even if you have PS3-level hardware, you'll still be stuck with Angry Birds as your top seller and the face of your gaming catalog.
Now that's interesting.

Exactly. Complaining about resolution, jaggies, etc on a handheld? WTF!
Why am I not suprised that Capcom blocked the snapshot feature? It's like they have a mission to screw their customers every single time. Extra 10$ for our 3DS game, restrictive online only DRM on PSN games, only 1 save file and that cannot be wiped/cleared on RE Mercs.
Can't wait to see what they will come up with next time.

What spoilers could there be in the -intro- and -title screen- of Mahjong FC? seems odd.
Disgaea spoilers? people on grid die? Prinny explodes?
loaded up onto Vita - off to work so likely 12 hours before i can upload but can post how it is, along with Little Deviants or whatever it's called. And AR Tank thing.

Thank you, sir.
So is this sarcasm, hyperbole, or simply your memory going through a prism of nostalgia?
I assume the former.

If I get gome from work before DCharlie, I'll put up some pics from the Good People Die demo.
Also, this looks like a PS1 game? Damn. I didn't realize the PS1 looked so great, even back then!

they probably making a $100 addon that goes from USB to HDMI that allows it to be upscaled to 720p.
you will probably be able to get on-par phone by then, at some crazy unlocked price or 24month contract + $300... and PS Vita will be probably less than $150 by then... so it is actually pretty good...
Dont forget it is not about quad core, or battery life or 5" oled... it is also about direct access to the hardware vs some java vm.
Personally, with 3GS, DS, PSP, upcoming SGII or 4s and Ipad, I am really maxing out with my devices... so I am not customer looking at it. They may sway me if they make it proper tablet - with apps. Maybe.

Smartphones can get advanced as they ilke, they still won't have the standard of games the Vita or 3DS will. Also, who wants to play something like Uncharted with touchscreen controls? Nobody, that's who.
Wario64 is a nobody confirmed.

I know you are joking, but lol it's Capcom.
PS1 games aren't available for the Vita yet.
can you take photos in the trophy app and/or the bubble menu?
I hope so, the best thing about the Vita trophies will be screenshot-ing them to show everyone on Twitter that I Platinum'd them

Also, the biggest problem with smartphone games. Touch only controls (save for a few phones such as the xperia play, but we all know how good that sold)
hah good one. I just wondered if you could use the screen cap anywhere on the vita.
That cow is in danger.You know, Ridge has it's problems but the screenshots do the game no justice whatsoever (30fps aside and all that)
can you take photos in the trophy app and/or the bubble menu?
Yes you can, both bubble menu and trophys. There is also automatic categorizing of the photos somehow, so you can easily find all of your ePenis shots from Trophy -folder.
Edit:
Jinfash
needs 2 extra inches
Is there a 3DS demo yet?
I'm wondering if the 3D is going to give it an edge, since the game isn't pushing either technology.
