shitty off screen pics but this is the first game I can think of where you have a nice direct comparison of graphics. Namco rushed both titles as well so you cant blame that. That being said I truly hope sony makes the right moves with the Vita. Although both will have their own greats, the tech truly is a leap above the 3ds.

Seems legit.

In all seriousness though it's a shame about the lack of content on the Vita version because all other polish oozes quality. Love how you can have the rear touch pad as a paddle shifter. Makes manual changing of gears a real joy.

ugh...who can i host with thats not blocked? guess tinypic is a no no

imgur and flikr work alright although some pixel counters complain about imgur.

This thread is going places.

Minus?

 

[Tenbatsu]

Nice pics

I don't understand what your title implies.

 

[Rubixcuba]

Get those pictures hosted, stat.

 

[mxgt]

dem links

Also is it really surprising that better hardware has better visuals?

 

[Tiduz]

uh, isnt it obvious vita would look better, but 3ds has nice looking games too. Resident evil looks pretty neat

i wish they made a vita RE

Is this a system blank wars thread?

 

[JWong]

Oh man, Scamco used ASCII graphics for Ridge Racer? How low can they get?

 

[Busaiku]

Pretty big differences.

also, isnt RR vita made by Cellius, a completely different studio than rr 3ds?

i wish they had gotten more time

 

[madmackem]

Its a shame they fucked up the content of the vita game as im loving what is there just wish there was a bit more it looks fantastic and runs super smooth post patch.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Ridge Racer is terrible in general, so I don't really give fuck which console it looks better on.

 

[Truth101]

The OP doesn't talk about the actual game, but just how the Vita is better than the 3DS.

Very nice stealth system war thread.

Stealth?

Stealth?

As in the title isn't, What a leap above the 3DS the Vita is.

Edit:

Also OP you are horrible at uploading images.

 

[antonz]

Well the 3DS one may not be as pretty but at least they actually included you know content.

 

[Baloonatic]

Eh, don't you mean "what a difference more powerful hardware makes?" I don't understand what it being released a year later has to do with anything.

 

[DCharlie]

Regardless of how they look, of the two - RR 3DS is the better game as things start simply because of the expanded content. And that's the important thing right now.

However, as RR gets more and more content it'll be come a lot better than it is right now. I'm playing RR Vita more than i expected post patch/content, with a good few more tracks and maybe a rejigging of the off line mode then it could be something good.

Well, visually, it does look better on Vita

 

[Pachterballs]

vita looks great. too bad 3DS is a sales monster. :/

 

[Ken]

Ridge Racer Vita features WipEout hovercraft?

The screens of the Vita version look really good; might pick up a copy later if they get more content in.

 

[Darryl]

those 3ds images don't look natural at all. is that really what the game looks like?

They're both ridge racer. what is their to compare there? i'm specifically comparing the graphics. didnt hide that.

 

[antonz]

They basically ported the iphone game as a quick cash grab that Namco so loves to do.

 

[Medalion]

oh hey look, another Vita vs 3DS graphics thread

 

[LiK]

those 3ds images don't look natural at all. is that really what the game looks like?

the 3DS screen in general is terrible if you take offscreen shots but you can tell the car models and tracks look worse on 3DS.

 

[angelfly]

Um...content? of which the 3DS version has much more of.

 

[Ken]

He means you're comparing the 3DS to the Vita using the same game to emphasize the graphics capabilities of the latter over the former, under the guise that the disparity between the two titles is due to time and not the handhelds themselves.

I think.

 

[rollingstart]

It's a shame the Vita version is seemingly rushed. Ideally the next one would hit 60 fps (3DS version is 60 fps, right?) and have a more generous amount of tracks for the price. Or if it's going to have fewer tracks and rely on dlc, at least make the base game cheap.

 

[Truth101]

Because the only statement you made in the OP had nothing at all to do with comparing the two games.

That being said I truly hope sony makes the right moves with the Vita. Although both will have their own greats, the tech truly is a leap above the 3ds.

All that says is, I want Sony to make the Vita a success and it is better than the 3DS. You only used Ridge Racer as an example comparing the capabilities of one system to another.

Maybe you could have made a title that properly describes what your thread entails.

Such as, Vita vs 3DS. What a difference a year makes, tech-wise or, System Wars The Thread: Vita vs 3DS Edition

 

[MarkusRJR]

They're off-screen camera shots so of course they seem off when they're being compared to direct feed shots.

3ds version drop to like... 15 fps if theres a car drifting in front of you leaving smoke. it becomes extremely obvious it runs like SHIT.

 

[Thunderbear]

It's not a difference in a year, it's Nintendo ever since after the Gamecube always skimping on technology.

 

[Gen X]

It's weird, the 2nd set of comparison shots show the same spot on the bridge yet the 3DS has no shadows, but then a little further down approaching the corner on the bridge there is no shadows on the Vita version and the 3DS looks like it has a shadow cast on the track out of nowhere.

*Edit*
Oh I get it now, looks like the sun is casting a shadow in a different spot. nm.

 

[Tenbatsu]

Namco just sucks. Alternatively they can buy a few MT Framework mobile engine from Capcom.

 

[Ken]

Nvm

Shadows move depending on "time of day" on one or both versions, possibly?

Those PSV screens are direct? They look all washed out, I really did think they were off screen as well.
