Sony cannot afford to drop the price of the Vita at this point in time.
No one should use the word period, however there is history behind the use of the word by Whites.
This is the difference.
Now the word itself is derogatory and Blacks should not use it either.
I fully agree. Unfortunately and this is really sad. If this were an Xbox360 exclusive, this site would light up like a Christmas tree bashing the game for being Sub HD, however this being a PS3 exclusive, no such "action" is taken.
What you find are very cleaver and ingenious game developers for consoles right now.
By limiting real time effects to a minimum and using LDR instead of HDR and using smaller environments and scripted scenes, little to no destructible env...
Why is this surprising?
Consoles this generation had a combination of 720p and lower resolution depending on certain games.
It's a trade off to determine if running the game in sub HD resolutions will provide better performance or keeping the game at 720p for its visual appeal.
Almost all games on consoles this generation with large environments and numerous unscripted scenes with more advanced effects are Sub HD.
It's the necessary trade o...
At this point its a gimmick

Good grief....
Sony take back America? Good luck with that...
Ports of PS3 or PS2 games never did well on the PSP and won't do well on the Vita also. It needs fresh new games.
The reality is most people will just play those ports on the console itself.
I have 4 TB drive in my gaming PC for example and s SSD128g
This is not an issue at all with PC gamers.
Welcome to N4G.COM...
Why spend money to improve graphics and the engine when they know people will buy the same tired game over and over again...
You are thinking about DX10...DX11 was adopted, however DX11 will get more focus as the upcoming consoles will support it.
Just Metro 2033 alone looks better than any console game out. Uses all real time effects and the polygon counts for all objects in the game outstrip any PS3 game. Lets not even mention the textures in Metro 2033 compared to the many low resolution textures in ALL console games including ALL PS3 games.
I have YET to see ANY PS3 game have the quality of textures or detail as Metro 2033 THROUGHOUT the ENTIRE GAME and not just for a few images and objects and CHARACTERS. I am looking at y...
You cannot compare the games.
Uncharted, God of War and Gears are more linear and have less interaction with the environments and surroundings. Not too mention the map sizes are smaller.
Most of the effects in Crysis 2 are done in real time. God of War and Uncharted and even Gears are not.
The Cryenegine is performing more technical tasks at any given time more than the game engines for GOD3, Uncharted and Gears.
That would be great if they bring out HL3 and L4D3 :)
Good god...
I am not talking about CORE gamers...I AM talking about AVERAGE consumers and if you think tablets and cellphone has not eroded away dedicated market share from them, then you have your head in the sand as even Nintendo and Sony acknowledged this.
$250 price point puts it in the same "price demographics" FOR THE AVERAGE consumer. I
am not talking CORE gamer.
You don't have to believe me. Just look at the numbers. Numbers don't lie.
The 3DS is...
"Where the PSVita is 250 at cheapest + at least 20 USD for a 4GB memcard = 270 USD at least 100 USD more than 3DS, its just too much for a handheld in this market, when the PS3 is even at 250..."
That is what is holding the Vita back the most. The price.
It is too costly for most average consumers in this market even though the technology behind the Vita is more than worth it.
Where else can you get that type of technology for $250? No where at this...
The number one reason is cost and unfortunately the competition from Tablets and Cell Phones are also a factor to consider.
When the price point lowers and more desirable games come out that the Japanese market like that are mostly not ports, you will see sales rise significantly.
But he landscape for mobile gaming has change forever with the rise of these "smartphones" and Tablets.
A Commodore 64 could run this game on max settings considering the dated game engine it uses LOL
Ya...I went there...
