Would have been awesome if it were more open like Ragnarok Online.. visiting the towns of Pront, Morroc, Geffen, Alberta, etc. and their corresponding outskirts..
Maybe one day.. or hopefully, the sequel will do just that xD
VITA today: amazing potential, less than stellar implementation.
I'm still very optimistic on this platform 2-3 years from now as I only really buy into a bit more mature system.
For the meantime; Ahh, my lovely PSP. *licks*
There's an official external battery.. unwieldly but it's there.
Google has done it during the time it released Nexus 7 and will do it again upon the release of Nexus 10.
Maybe Sony could implement such a strategy. (very low profit from hardware to penetrate the market easily)
Looks gorgeous.
Hope there'll be an English version soon :)
I think Asus and Sammy are on profit with their mobile/tablet sections..
I think it's a good idea to give them a system that is easier to code with.. I don't think that hampers any talent.
The "1080p/60FPS/3D" goal is too vague. That can mean Doom 3 graphics @ said goal.
I firmly believe that a lot of developers will still use 720p with good AA @30fps because they would love to put other special effects, more textures or even better geometry (in the end a better looking game).
If that's kinda hard to understand think of a mid tier PC playing an game on ULTRA setting but at a lower resolution.. rather than playing at 1080p w/ lower...
PS3 graphics.. No.
But it certainly is ahead the 3DS.
Apple games can at least produce illusions that are much better.. and that matters to a lot of people:

Sure it's not that complex or open world BUT:
-Clean geometry
-Clean lines (VITA's jaggy galore IMO)
-Sharp reflections
-H...
I don't think it's better than an Iphone 5 specially software-wise.. but a damn Iphone is what? $ 750 plus?
But there's a lot of factors to consider as well..
The Iphone 5 can provide enough entertainment for the masses w/o extra unnecessary cost (of having to buy another device).. the phone plan is to be considered as well..
Most importantly, it has way more "practical" software (non gaming).
A vita is pretty much redund...
Wow! Those gameplay videos and cutscenes look amazing!
I thought it was just a generic mass effect construct.. but the details do add up that make it unique.. (at least in my eyes).
Well, still not getting an xbox 360.. not that rich and the next gen's around the corner :P
luck of the draw? That doesn't make too much sense.
Nintendo 3DS sales: 23,453
Nintendo 3DS XL sales: 38,089
PSV: 5,806
WOW!

Because sometimes it can be hard to judge a VITA title.. the way that Sony touts it as "real 'HD console' experience on the go" versus just a portable device.
I think it would be more appropriate to compare AC3L against 3DS', iOS', Android's titles and see that such gameplay is actually a feat on on-the-go devices!
There's truth to this.. After Crysis, the visual improvements were of smaller increments on the PC side of things..
Console are the "least common denominator" for a lot of popular games, holding PC visuals back in a way. An advancement on console graphics would also translate to PC visual upgrades.
I am talking strictly of VISUALS here not the "confidence" that closed hardware consoles instills on developers and publishers! (<-- mor...
yes.. but only OS, 2D PSstore/xlive smaller titles.. Or DOOM 3 graphics..
A 1080p 30+ FPS UC4 is more realistic.
If they're going with an Android-esque route, they should experiment with the VITA 1st.
Just like how they harnessed the power of the Wii.. same story, different gen.
PS4/720 will lead the more core titles because the Wii U just won't have the power for it.
Not talking about sales here.. We all know Wii U's gonna be the "family/friends/casual console" leading that figure.

Oh please yes! I am actually pretty satisfied with the geometry and shading in current games.. it's the textures that are actually blemishing the visuals for me on console games more often than not (w/c would be solved by more RAM!).
Can't wait for the next gen! :D
VITA games; where it's merited as a PORTABLE game.
