Man, I wish Little Deviants didn't exist. It should've been a straight up platformer designed around the gimmicks of Vita's hardware and given away with every Vita sold. Instead BigBig went out with a mini-game collection.

I don't think it was bad like everyone makes it out to be. I remember seeing the Rolling Pastures level for the first time at the PlayStation Meeting and thinking how innovative the rear touch pad could become. Couple that with dat OLED screen and I was sold over a year before release.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Hopefully this is on Sega's to-do list:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic's_Ultimate_Genesis_Collection

it would be nice. Outside of the Streets of rage games, Revenge of Shinobi and Phantasy star 1 i'd be set with that they have collected. still cool having all those games digitally collected on my Vita. Its crazy. That's my adolescence of gaming right there!

 

[Ein Bear]

It ran but it was only a cutscene and the framerate was about 20fps wasn't it?

I don't give a fuck if i game has 60FPS and is native res. If it's fun, i'll like it.

Just a cutscene yeah, though it's hard to get a read on the framerate from cam footage.

Don't get me wrong, I'm having a ton of fun with the MGS Collection. But would it be better if it ran at 60fps/Native Res? Of course it would.

In general, I sort of feel like the Vita's screen might actually be a case of Sony overreaching a little, and slightly too much for the system's capabilities. We'll see what happens when we start getting some second-generation games for the thing, but at the minute sub-native res seems to be the standard, which is disappointing.

I've decided Vita will be my Final Fantasy archive. We should see everything up through 12 on this at some point don't you think?

Here we go, i knew i wasn't imagining it

http://www.destructoid.com/sony-announces-psp2-codenamed-ngp-updated--192602.phtml

In fact, Hideo Kojima came out on stage to show an in-engine cutscene from Metal Gear Solid 4 rendered natively on the NGP, running at 20 fps.

 

[cyborg009]

Invizimals? Ridiculously popular in Europe. Seem to recall it did over 1 million which was pretty good on PSP. Also i seem to remember some UK schools using it for classes.

Wow a PSP game selling over 1 million units and not in japan too....

It definitely feels like the Vita had it's specs cut back before release, there's just so many titles that are sub native-res.

Didn't they demo Metal Gear Solid 4 running on the NGP when it was first announced? Now they can't even get MGS2 running at native res, or at it's original PS2 framerate.

I still love my Vita and everything, but the amount of games that don't take full advantage of that beautiful screen makes me sad. =(

MGS4 was 20 fps maybe they're limiting the Vita spec like how they did with the PSP

BigBig should have made Pursuit Force 3 for Vita.

Now there is no BigBig and no Pursuit Force 3

MGS4 engine was a complete and utter disaster,it's amazing that it run at all.

Are you playing Theathrythm: Final Fantasy on the 3DS? I am, and I feel like playing all the Final Fantasy games (some new to me, some repeats), and it would be amazing to do so on the Vita. I could've sworn that North America had some option to play the original, 2D FFIII, but as far as I can tell there is not.

And with that (recent?) possibility of Final Fantasy XI coming to Vita, this could certainly become a reality:

Wait, PSP had it's hardware cut back, too? This is news to me!

stock psp ran at 133 i believe later upped to 333

 

[Koroviev]

I know everyone is buying up Mortal Kombat to resell at Best Buy and whatnot but I kept a copy and am LOVING it.

This game has sooo much more content than the console versions and while the character models are ugly, the game runs beautifully.

I didn't even consider that, though it is valued at $26 with the 100% bonus.

 

[Letep]

How does Persona 3 Portable look on the Vita?

 

[cyborg009]

Yep God of War chain of Olympus was the first to use the PSP max power

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of_War:_Chains_of_Olympus#Development

Also if I remember correctly the Vita is limit too but for sake of battery life and overheating

 

[Iacobellis]

stock psp ran at 133 i believe later upped to 333

It was never cut, that was all done with software. It ran at 222MHz until a firmware update allowed developers to max their games out at 333. I believe it was all to keep a good battery life.

11 port? Wada's pocket require a huge amount of money for any original/newer FF it seems.

if I'm SCE/Kaz i'd sell my useless 8% shares right now and throw some money at Imageepoch or tri-Ace.

 

[Koroviev]

I can't believe I didn't think of that.

I might give it a shot.

I don't roll like that. I buy games to play, not to make a profit!

Looks good. Not beautiful, but good!

Do you know how long the $10 deal and Best Buy offer are running?

 

[brentech]

I ordered it @ 9.99, then canceled it. I know I won't be able to convince myself into liking it. Just use the money towards GR or something in the future. I already have too much to play between PS3/Vita atm.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Do you know how long the $10 deal and Best Buy offer are running?

I think they both are ending today, 7/7. =(

 

[Koroviev]

Only today for both, afaik.

Trying to call GS right now. On hold :\

 

[Takao]

BigBig should have made Pursuit Force 3 for Vita.

Now there is no BigBig and no Pursuit Force 3

SCEE laid off a lot of staff from BigBig before closing them this year. When Little Deviants was in production people asked if they could do a MotorStorm game and they said they didn't have the manpower.

I don't think it was bad like everyone makes it out to be. I remember seeing the Rolling Pastures level for the first time at the PlayStation Meeting and thinking how innovative the rear touch pad could become. Couple that with dat OLED screen and I was sold over a year before release.

Little Deviants actually sold Sony on the idea of including a back touch pad, which made the closure of the studio and the move to a mini-game collection pretty disheartening.

Here is a small article that explains it: http://www.destructoid.com/importing-vita-uncharted-golden-abyss-has-english-217215.phtml

Did you just get a Vita? I assumed most people already played Uncharted!

I got my vita a couple of weeks ago. I've been playing Gravity Rush

oh god, there isn't enough time to buy every copy of Mortal Kombat in existence.

Does Best Buy have a limit on trade-ins? If I bring six copies of Mortal Kombat to trade-in, will someone turn me away?

Gravity Rush is my GOTY (so far) it's so good, every new Vita owner should get it.

Well, my local store is out of copies, as I had a feeling they would be. I tried to call the other location, but I gave up after being on hold for 15 minutes.

If you can find that many copies of MK, they should accept them all.

Its funny, i have the same impulse thanks to that game. I never played 1, 2, 3 & 5. I own versions of them, so i just need to carve out time and make a run 1-10, 12.

When does the 2D FF3 come out?

 

[Koroviev]

It's okay, you can atone for your sins. A confession is a good place to start.

Yup, it's fantastic. I think Drinkbox should give us all some free chocolate. This thread must have sold a few copies of their game

 

[Ein Bear]

Tied with Journey for my GOTY. SO GOOD.

Agreed, and I seriously doubt anything will come along to beat it.

Haven't played such a fresh, fun game in years. The novelty of flying around the town still hasn't worn off, and I've platted the thing. I'm really hoping for some more DLC besides the Maid pack... I don't want to have to wait for a sequel

I really, really hope it sells/sold well enough for Sony to give the sequel the greenlight

 

[lunch]

Called Gamestop asking if they had Mortal Kombat and after waiting a minute the clerk said that Pokemon didn't come out for the Vita. I don't know whether to be bothered by the fact that the guy had to make sure Pokemon didn't have a Vita release or that my speaking is terrible and the guy confused Mortal Kombat for Pokemon.

Regardless, they only had a caseless version.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

Im not in love with Gravity Rush. I definitely like it, but I don't love it.

Same. I love the aesthetic and the gravity shifting is fun to just mess around with but mission design/game scenarios aren't too interesting and the combat is a bit naff after you get past the OMG GRAVITY RIDER KICK novelty.

yup,It fresh and unique gaming experience,full of soul happy and carefree,almost Miyazaki/Ghibli-ish,really what I need from video games, that why I love Folklore,Mother,Journey..ect we need more of these games.

Awesome choice! I remember playing

Spoiler

the part where you have to save the girl with the bag (forget her name) from the Nevi

on the train to New York. I was totally enthralled in the game and forgot I was out in public playing a handheld. It felt pretty close to playing on an actual console at home, and the only other game that was able to do that so far was Golden Abyss.
