Note that Wii U's COD:ghost is 880x720 (633,600) same as PS3, Xbox 360; while PS Vita is 960x544 (518,400). It would seem indies are bashing Wii U because of it's poor sales.

Not quite; Ghosts runs at 1024x600 (614,400 pixels) on Xbox 360 and 880x600 (528,000 pixels) on PS3. So a little lower than Wii U.

1024x600 (614,400 pixels) on Xbox 360, I guess that where all the optimization went.

Every Infinity Ward COD game since COD4 has run at 1024x600 on Xbox 360 I believe. The price of 60fps.

It also has a pretty damn smooth frame rate for that full console game shrank down into the palm of your hands.

 


This comparison is always what amazes me the most! Yes the graphics are cut back, but it's still so complete considering like you say, it's shrunk down into the palm of your hands. You can clearly see it's the exact same game. Something I've not really seen in a handheld console prior to the Vita. Same map, same handling, same content. Yes they had to take a few AI opponents out, and remove some of the glossy lighting effects/reflections. But one of them is being played on a 5" screen while the other is being played on a 50".

haha, aye. I agree with you so much on that video being a brilliant showcase of the vita being a powerhouse.

I may have even dropped said video earlier in the thread :D I'm sure with your massive vita collection you most likely have the retail copy of that game, but amazingly EA offered it for free to all ?Vita owners on the 20 year anniversary of the ps brand. I forgave a lot of EAs sins that day!



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

To me it's kind of irrelevant because the idea you couldn't run The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth on either of these consoles is frankly laughable.

I actually got it day of release. One of my most played Vita games. Clocked up well over 50 hours on it, got pretty much every gold in it. It's sad that we'll probably never get another handheld racer anywhere near it :(

Yeah was a really cool freebie. I made sure I grabbed the digital version too when it was free, so I can now download it even if I don't have access to the cart)



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Laughable for the programmer, not the hardware.

Yeah, that's what I meant!

I'm also surprised that Rebirth #4 in the German eShop without a sale.
