Well...It definitely looks better than 3DS.



updated: 14.01.2012

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

it certainly does but more in an xbox vs ps2 way than a wii vs hd twins or ds vs psp way considering monster hunter tri runs at 4 times the frame rate of uncharted so polygon counts are probably comparable, psv clearly has a comfortable advantage texturing,

also uncharted doesn't have AA and runs well below the vita's screens res, can you all belive that end of the world vita sucks AA is the only thing that mattersI heart pixels

nonsense aside of course it isn't anywhere near a ps3 it's powering a screen/speakers/and the console, yet it is probably running at around 6 to 10 watts vs the 70 of the newest 360 and 90 of the newest ps3, but it definitely is capable of incredible visuals, but dithering aside so is the psp.  Should be neat to see what games look like a few gens in

waiting to see some battery analysis

I'm definitely not an uncharted or sony fan, but uncharted:ga is certainly a technically impressive game on low power consumption hardware

It looks good but Uncharted 1 still looks better if it where actually developed by Naughty Dog it would have looked a bit better.

Although I think Vita is technically a brilliant handheld. Sony themselves said the followng:

" PS Vita can do about 5x the ploygons of PSP. And instead of around 10mb for textures ( PSP ) the Vita can cope with 100mb."

When asked if the Vita and PS3 were comparable. Sonys reply was "Not really, PS3 has so much more processing power"

All Golden Abyss is very clever smoke and mirrors. I personally can see the low poly moddels and rough edge. Look at the cliff edge on the pic for VIta inside the cave bit. The cliff edge wall meets the floor with a complete straight edge.

Clever tricks. But not anywhere near PS3 version IMO.


Well ofcourse Vita isn't as powerful as current home consoles. The GPU benchmarks alone show that. But keep in mind that such rendering at the Vita's resolution on a 5 inch screen makes it seem like it's at that level. I agree that some users may exaggerate though.

http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/4787/20110111145447.jpg Fair enough. The wall textures are amazing

http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5438/20110112165138.jpg I've replayed DF 7 times and i dont remember seeing that anywhere

http://i52.tinypic.com/wan52t.jpgFair enough, although character model is still worse
http://i52.tinypic.com/dvh7a0.jpg  Character models, stone textures and ground textures look worse than GB. Lighting looks better tho.

http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/3927/avermediacenter20110101.jpg Looks pretty amazing, although is pretty easy to design those graphics

Uncharted 1 clearly looks better. but thats not saying much, as Uncharted 1 still looks better than 99% of all game released today.



selnor on 18 December 2011

No offence. But 'SOME' Sony fans need to get a grip.

Looking at more Vita screens GA is nowhere near DF.

Its actually not even close.

In GA Drakes clothes are blurred textured and underdetailed hugely compared to PS3. Also leaves, wall textures and floor are quite blurry compared to PS3 version. In fact the textures dont beat out alot of HD games. Its actually nowhere near HD console games.

But back in reality, Vita is one awesome Handeld, and the most visually pleasing HH system Ive ever seen.

But HD system? Just WTF is the world coming to.
