PlayStation Vita Screenshots | OS Level Captures

I spent like 24+ hours trying to platinum UC3. I think this will be the same for GA. Plenty of replayability I must say.
It's ok bro, I know that feel...

around 10 hrs or 'around' 10 hours (aka 5-7 hours)?
Really curious how these games hold up. Even if the studio had ND tech, they aren't ND and don't have insane mocap cutscene stuff down like in UC2-3, unless they said they did that in some interview.
Anyhow... we need some screen captures of ridge racer iap store

I think I will add that if you want to post native screens then do so but you can also scale them down in relation to the actual Vita's screen size. So none are too horrified and nitpicky about things.

like I said, 10 hours is said by the dev, so probably less than that, but he did say it's longer than Uncharted 3, so you can use that as your comparison I guess.
it's not gonna be 4 hours like GoW psp.
He never replied back

From the few shots posted, they are in native res. Not that we can't tell that some games may or may not be at native res
Thank you for the edit Y2K
They're native res but compressed. Is that the image host or can the device not take lossless captures?
.bmp or .png would be preferable to .jpg

Does it have a youtube upload feature as well or just screenshot?

I would guess because it has less ram than the Vita?
Though there actually was a plug-in for custom firmware PSPs that offered this. Then again, the PSP had more ram than it used for games (since 2000 and up models had 64 megs instead of just 32)
It can, it's built into the firmware but developers have to enable it in games, and they tend not to (as it probably takes up a little additional resource).

I can.
It's just on a game-by-game basis.
Wipeout HD, Tekken 6, and Beautiful Katamari support OS-level screenshots.

listen to the mad man
OS-level screenshots are awesome, was one of the best features of a CFW PSP, and it's great on iOS. Glad to see it's native on Vita.
Pity about those fucking obnoxious copyright notices what the fuck

Yep, this. Come on people! Give us some screenshots! (DCharlie, you have no excuse. You've got practically everything! How about sharing some of it with us here?!)

Wow, both UC and Minna are both sub-quarter HD?
Uhm.. you know what's the resolution of the Vita?... Why would you want the game to run at a higher resolution than the console and then be downscaled? It makes absolutely no sense.
Are you aware that the Vita is a handheld that has it's own screen, and not a home console that you connect to your TV?
Seriously, sometimes you guys make me shake my head...

You're not playing them on a 50 inch screen. Remember that.
Do YOU know what the resolution of the Vita is? SMH.
It's quarter HD. Look it up dude, lol.
And here they come.....
Who the fuck cares that it's not a 50 inch screen. If it's not native it fucks with the IQ. I don't care whether it's a Wii game, 360 or PS3 game. It's never a good thing if it's non-native.
The Vita screen is 960×544 and those screenshots are 960×544 with jpg artifacts.
What are you talking about?

Except I've played the game on a PS Vita and it looked amazing. Can't argue with my own eyes I'm afraid.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
My hype for the graphics sort of vanished after looking at these screens. IB2 looks better in stills.
You know there are some massive JPG artifacts going on there, right?
this, there should be a setting, i want a lossless(?) one

He's saying that UC is running at sub Vita 544p resolution which is sub quarter HD since 544p is quarter HD. Judging by the shots posted, I'd say he's right.
I'm talking about the resolution, I thought that was clear from my first post. I was asking whether UC and Minna were both sub-qHD or not. What are YOU talking about? What higher than the console resolutions and stuff? It's native resolution is qHD. And these screenshots from both UC and Minna seems to be sub-qHD. I'm only asking for confirmation. JPEG artifacts won't add those stairs/jaggies. I'm not here to shit on the games. They are both one of my favourite PS franchises.
It looks like it's definitely rendering below 960x544 though.
People's reactions to OS-screen-captures are why we can't have nice things more often.
Non-Native resolution games were common place on PSP, but since OS didn't dump framebuffer screens, it never got attention from certain crowds.

I trust you've educated PS3 and 360 owners about how most of their games are somewhere between qHD and hHD as well?gogogow said:
Really? Can you name some examples? I dumped screens from all 15 or so PSP games I've played and none of them are non-native.
I agree with your general sentiments though, the reaction when any dev releases a non-bullshot of an upcoming game is hilarious. Particularly when people bring up bullshots of games with even worse IQ for comparison.
