Very interesting read on the similarities and differences technically of PS3/Vita games. Looks at KillZone, Uncharted, Virtua Tennis and more.

Not sure how much of the article I'd be allowed to put in OP, but the full thing can be read here.

Thoughts? Personally I think the Vita is incredibly close to the PS3 in terms of performance and capabilities given it's minute size. The PSP was always meant to be a PS2 in your pocket, but IMO struggled to come close to it's promises. When Vita was first unveiled, I expected the same of that, but as soon as I played Uncharted and Gravity Rush, I was converted!

I wouldn't go that far:

Uncharted

Shooting forms a large part of Uncharted: Golden Abyss, but confrontations set in detailed areas filled with enemies have a significant effect on performance, leading to barely playable frame-rates in places. Thankfully, this doesn't happen enough to spoil the overall experience.

Killzone

Performance analysis of Killzone: Mercenary preview code on Vita. The game doesn't quite manage a completely stable 30fps - and checkpoint saves cause very noticeable dips in frame-rate - but the level of smoothness is impressive for such a technically advanced handheld title.

Keyword: Close.

And even then Uncharted never gets to unplayable levels :/.
