What are they going to do to make it cheaper besides the screen change? The OLED is only a small percentage of the price, and it's not like they can downgrade the CPU/GPU.

That looks better than the one on Vita, lol.
No it doesn't.

Can't say I agree, though the old one looks nice too.
Hmm
Yes, except for streaming music when games shut off the internet connection (I still HATE this).

you be trollin'
I finally bought it, will try it right now and let you know my opinion
well oled/super amoled+ are still very expensive type of mobile screens, so Sony can have smaller sized (lets say 3.5'') tft lcd, beside that cheap materials all over (no plastic coated, glossy stuff) one speaker, smaller battery..ect this will do for an alternative and cheaper version. just called it Vita Ace
you hate pixel art now?

I dunno, the new version just looks too much like a Flash game to me.
Doesn't really look like a flash game to me. Looks quite nice imo!
Whaaaa? Really? That's great, does it have to be in some strange format or does mp3s work?
MP3s work. During my hours of Soul Sacrifice grinding I downloaded and listened to a podcast in the background, it's great.
Although for a lazier method I grabbed a male to male 3.5mm audio cable, plugged it from my vita into the Mic port on my PC and can listen to both my Vita and PC audio at the same time.
Sweet! Dare I hope it work on PSP and PS1 games too?

Just tried Jak & Daxter collection on Vita. Never played a Jak game before although I did quite like Daxter for PSP. Anyway I had a go of Jak 1. Worst Naughty Dog game ever. Hate it. It seems to run ok though, although I obviously don't know how it compares to the original version or the PS3 collection. Very bland platforming, it's pretty boring so far and I generally prefer my platformers to be more linear than this. I miss when Naughty Dog made Crash Bandicoot. Now that was a good focused platforming series. After playing this I have more of an urge to play one of the Crash games on my Vita than I'm ever likely to want to play more of this game. This game will probably be deleted from my Vita very soon.

i agree - played J+D on ps2 and couldn't stomach it. thought it was clunky and bland platformer. ugly art direction.
i don't own any of them. but just based off hearsay, spelunky - unless you prefer fighting games.. then skullgirls.
Spelunky
If you think Jak isn't linear, I hope you never touch Jak 2.

In that they are both 2d yes, in every other aspect it is obviously different.

Jak 1 is alright on Vita. 2 and 3 are baaaad though. Here is my post about it in the thread about the port.

Don't worry I have no plans to. I'll be deleting the trilogy as soon as Killzone comes out.

For those who were worried about Rayman Legends being delayed for Vita in NA, it isn't. Just in Europe:
http://www.joystiq.com/2013/08/28/rayman-legends-delayed-on-vita-in-europe/
An Ubisoft representative confirmed with Joystiq that the North American Vita version of Rayman Legends "will be released as planned" on September 3.

Thanks for this. Now i can finally get my digital version of Rayman Legends on 3rd September
Depends on what you mean by sprite based games.
Games with pixel-art sprites (like Tactics Ogre, especially with the camera zoomed out)? No. I actually had a similar discussion about this with another GAFfer a year ago: link
But on 2D games, or 3D games with 2D stuff (i.e. Persona 3 Portable characters during cutscenes) it does the job.
Of course it's not comparable to a proper antialiasing for 3D games.

YES! DAY ONE BABY!!!!
Great idea, maybe Sony can call it la poveri vita, sales would just skyrocket!

i agree.
would have rather had an updated sprite version such as cave story than a hi res version.
A vita without DAT OLED just a regular LCD
I like sprites and all, but having played both now I like the look of the Vita one way better. It's very charming.
An option for the sprite version art style would be cool though.

How is one supposed to deal with the piranha plants in the jungle of spelunky?
Also any general tips for the ice caves?

I guess different strokes for different people. I don't think you are trolling here. As for me, i loved the new art style and don't think the old one is bad. It would have been cool to have the old one available in this new remake though.
Yeah, I'd like some tips for stuff too. Having trouble with the piranha plants right now.
Edit: WOW, I just realized that the developers of Vita version of Spelunky (not Derek Yu himself) disabled custom soundtracks for the game. This is one of like less than 5 games total to do this. Morons. For games without a story that I'm planning on just relaxing and playing for awhile, custom soundtracks is invaluable to me. Can't believe they disabled it.
Vita has a very feature rich OS. It would be the best if each feature wasn't hampered by some form of odd implementation. See below; they're generally minor grievances but they're enough to fragment the experience (this has been fixed to a degree).
That's not too bad--a shame but better than nothing. I'm just glad to have the custom sound track feature.
It's native resolution at 30fps. So no 60fps fluidity but I didn't feel any particular slowdown for the moment.
