.....God damn it, ugh why does these kind of conversation keep popping up...it's just....so pointless. Don't handhelds and home consoles use completely different architectures. Why do you think it the Wii version of Donkey Kong Country Return look so different from the 3DS version. IF the 3DS share similar tech and was more powerful under the hood compare to the Wii, porting the game wouldn't have taking so long.

What? They look quite similar. I mean for a port from a console to a handeheld it stacks up quite amazingly.

I'm not saying the 3DS is weaker then the Wii, I'm saying the two consoles have different types of hardware

Good job thats Wii - 3DS comparison. If the Vita had a comparison that similar to PS3 it'd be getting slated and massively marked down for it.

I did my best with getting quality screenshots of similar types of things (character closeups, widers scenes, etc.). If any screenshots seem too low quality to consider, point them out.

I was under the impression people already thought that the PS Vita is like a low-end PS3.

And I was under the impression the 3DS was more powerful than the Wii???

Though I meant, if a game wasn't PS3 quality, it gets marked down on Vita. I don't know why people expect handheld devices to have parity. I'm perfectly happy with DKC:R on 3DS. It might have frame rate issues and fewer polygons, but ffs it's on a handheld console!

I thought you were saying that if people were comparing PS Vita to PS3, people would be "marking down" the PS Vita's graphics and being nitpicky.



MikeRox on 10 November 2013

No I just think people are nit picky in general with handhelds. I don't know what they expect from them.

The same quality experience as you get from a console, but at the price of Angry Birds.
