I've been searching but to no avail. Live blog is the best we have I guess. And blisteredthumbs seems to be the only one doing that! Kinda weird but at least there is one option

There will be pics later.

11122X5571d ago

This is all true.

I could not find a live stream of it anywhere and blistered thumbs seem to be the only website in the world doing a live blog of the session.

Pictures will be uploaded to other websites after the event has taken place.

remanutd555571d ago

ohh man , i wanted to see it , anyways i hope videos appear later today , that would be kool

NiKK_4195571d ago

i wonder who ran through a clicked disagree on everyone...

OT: i haven't been able to find anywhere to watch a stream either, let alone a live blog even, besides this one

superadvanced5571d ago

2 - 4gb cards seem a tad small. Was thinking more of the 4 - 6 gb range.

jaizenmonillas5571d ago

well its really easy for them to add since its a flash drive this time not umd or some kind of disc where its really limited for space. they will probably have 6gb in its 2nd year where more games will be ported.

Kain815571d ago

Sony are talking about average game size, not the maximum Card size, they comparing it to the the average PS3 game size...

Christopher5570d ago (Edited 5570d ago )

Max card size currently is 64GB, but costs a ton. 32GB is max you'll find on the standard market.

The sizes they're mentioning are game file usage, so they'll stick with a standard game cartridge with 8GB in file size. Games can be produced this small considering audio files will be compressed to 5.1 rather than raw.

Xwow20085571d ago

Yes ive been waiting for this :))

KROBOS93939395571d ago (Edited 5571d ago )

still they didn't confirm if uncharted is playable without the touch screens i mean who would want to climb a wall in uncharted using the touch screen?!!!!
edit: whats up with disagrees i was only asking a question you guys

remanutd555571d ago

uh? that has been confirmed to ages lol , you can play it the way you want to play it , if you want to use the touch screen or dual analogs , watch some gamespot videos to know more about it

djreplay5571d ago

don't use the touch screens then just press x, it was in shuhei yoshido's presentation in january. He used the touchscreen to jump over one log then pressed x on the next one.

KROBOS93939395571d ago (Edited 5571d ago )

ok didn't know that... sheesh
edit: @silkrevolver
no he said "don't use the touch screens then just press x"
as if i knew all along that it was confirmed...
p.s. sorry djreplay if i offended you

silkrevolver5571d ago (Edited 5571d ago )

We disagreed because you were complaining about something that they confirmed wouldn’t be an issue... then you assumed that remanutd55 was BSing you... then you got pissy when djreplay politely told you that you don’t need to use the touchscreen. That’s why.

Pedantic915571d ago (Edited 5571d ago )

Think about it, as a start, most 3rd party/multiplatform games on the NGP will use 2GB, while exclusives will make use of the larger 4GB one.

I dont see why it couldn't raise in size later on.

My main concern is the devs might put too much emphasis with 3G on their games. I hope atleast half of the games are like the PSP, with a semi-console like experience with the option of 3G for online.

Not saying 3G is bad, just saying that most might go after the Wifi model. And lets face it, nowdays, Wifi is rather easy to find/obtain.

Kain815571d ago

Sony are talking about average game size, not the maximum Card size, they comparing it to the the average PS3 game size...
the card size must be bigger, since the cards have a large portion of rewritable memory for DLC as well.

SuperStrokey11235571d ago

They said DLC will write onto the card? I assumed it would stay on the system via internal memory.

Pedantic915571d ago (Edited 5571d ago )

Wouldn't it be easier for DLC if the NGP had built-in storage instead ? Wouldn't rewriteable storage limit the actual size of the cards ?

Mr Tretton5571d ago

It's been theorized that they won't be able to actually use 3G for online gaming anyway. It'll just be for anywhere internet access.

SuperStrokey11235571d ago

How much internal storage is there? Did they finalize the AMount of ram?

B-Real2065571d ago

Coombes couldn't reveal how much memory NGP will have, but stressed that it was more than enough. "I can't talk about actual numbers, but compared to PSP we have a lot of memory... we're closer to PS3 than PSP in terms of memory size."

I’m Singing the PS Vita Post-Launch Blues

The PS Vita is a fine piece of hardware that enjoyed a very solid launch. Now we need a second wave of games.

Jio5176d ago

This is what I hate about being an early adopter. I bought 3 games and now I have nothing to play after beating them. The nearest game I want doesn't come out until May, and even then the game I really want doesn't even have a release date.

NovusTerminus5176d ago

Just wondering, what is it you are wanting?

Right now I am waiting for Gravity Rush.

limewax5176d ago

Waiting on LBP myself. But I don't get why people think there aren't enough games. I have little deviants and escape plan, I would love Wipeout and Uncharted but don't have the money. I don't think there is a lack of games at all. The system currently has more games I want than any other system at the moment

KUV19775176d ago

I'm waiting for Gravity Rush too. It's funny though how the author doesn't want to buy Uncharted because he 'plays in bursts' and doesn't want to 'scan a room for 10 minutes for a lever' while playing in one of these bursts and he thinks it is meant for the big screen but he wants a new Metal Gear Portable. Makes total sense to me.

tiffac0085176d ago (Edited 5176d ago )

Yes to Gravity Rush~!

Someone needs to tell the author to look at the internet because there are tons of sources that will tell him where the lever is. lol!

GribbleGrunger5176d ago

it's not difficult at all to find levers in UGA... in fact i can't remember getting stuck once throughout the whole game. the only real difficulty was finding all the hidden gems and rubbings etc. to me, the author is deliberately finding reasons to reduce his wish list in order to prove a point.

ThanatosDMC5175d ago (Edited 5175d ago )

You're lucky you only bought 3. I bought 8 plus 2 psn games. I want a Monster Hunter game. I'd settle for a MH Tri G port from the wii.

Chaostar5176d ago (Edited 5176d ago )

1 month after a launch line-up of, what, 20-30 games and you want a second wave?

And they say us gamers are an impatient, self-entitled bunch /s

I am looking forward to Gravity Rush however :)

Edit: it was 26 games...

oNIXo5176d ago (Edited 5176d ago )

That's what I don't get. The damn thing just came out, and people think that there should be 300+ games right now. It just came out, jeez. Give it some time. We wait months for a console game and, for some reason, people can't do the same for a brand-new piece of hardware.

I love my Vita, and I just got Plats Vs. Zombies for my wife, and now she loves it too. With all the stuff I already downloaded onto my PS3 I have a solid library of games to play on my Vita. I'm willing to wait, I can't fathom why other people won't do the same.

GribbleGrunger5176d ago

i've only played one game and that's UGA. that game alone makes the wait worth while. i'm now waiting on LBPVita and i'm happy to do it too.

26 six launch titles and over 200 PSP games (at reduced price) and STILL people complain about a lack of games to play!? incredible. eventually the multiplats will come along with the Vita only games and then Sony are in business.

neogeo5176d ago

I did not buy mine yet, but I will as soon as a price drop hits, then ill be picking up all those launch games in the discount bin.

specialguest5176d ago

I haven't bought one yet, but I've been playing my brother's Vita once in a while. I'm actually waiting for a memory card price drop. It just goes against my principles to pay so much for so little.

No rush to buy one, since I've already played UC:GA, and the other games I want are not out yet.

longcat5175d ago

i got one for $162 (used) on amazon. Mint condition. They have some decent prices early in the morning from the warehouse deals.

Waiting for gravity rush and hoping to find a cheap memory card by then

Unexpecta5176d ago

Just to let you know, that price drop isn't happening anytime soon.

If you can't afford the PSVita for $250 bucks, then you don't have the privilege to play it.

5176d ago
MasterCornholio5176d ago (Edited 5176d ago )

At least the Vita didn't launch as badly as the 3DS (In terms of games library) so I'm really not complaining. But I do hope that Sony announces some more games soon.
