You know whats disappointing about Unit 13? Zipper not trying anything new.
After MAG, i had high hopes for them, but then they tried emulating CoD with the next Socom and now Unit 13 which looks like Socom. Zipper is Sony's only AAA team working on the Vita and they produce this generic looking game. Sony should've forced them to do something completely original. Something like MAG, just different.
Speaking of AAA Sony studios working on Vita, Geoff Keighley interviewed the new head of marketing at SCEA and asked weather CoD was coming out this year for the Vita. He basically confirmed it. Also, the big Sony developers like Naughty Dog, Guerrilla Games, Media Molecules and Sony Santa Monica are also working on the Vita.

So you can download PSP games from PSN to your Vita, and they look better? Is it upscaled? Also, say someone owns Rayman for the PS3, that means they can downoad the Vita version for free? Also Rragnar, you have big ass hands, you stallion.

i have decided. I'm buying the Vita from Amazon. Cant decide b/w the 3G which is only $20 more than the Wifi Vita+8GB card. I'll most likely never get the 3G data package but since it's only $20 more, what the heck. Carnage, I know you are buying the 3G version, anything cool included in the handheld other than the 3G upgrade?
I'm too weak.
Jbul, yes the PSP games will be upscaled just like the PS2 games on the original 60GB PS3. One awesome thing Sony is doing is that they are updating some games to take advantage of the dual analog sticks so the great Resistance PSP games will now play even better with the dual analog sticks. Same with Peace Walker. That said, since there is no UMD slot, you can only play the PSP games you bought digitally from the PSN store.
As for the PS3/Vita crossplay functionality, it's still unclear how much the games will retail for. Unless the PS3 version of Rayman came with a code for the Vita Rayman, you wont be able to do any crossplay. I dont think Rayman supports that at all. I bought the MGS HD Collection on the PS3 and while they are releasing a MGS HD Collection for the Vita, I think it's being sold seperatly. TBH, I dont think many games will take advantage of this. I mean who really wants to charge $80+ for a Vita/PS3 game combo? And I doubt they will include the Vita version for free.
The coolest feature is being able to play PS3 games on your Vita using Remote Play. But again, that needs to be patched in and so far the only game that is being patched is KZ3 and I know how much you hated that game.

Target offering Buy 2 Get 1 free on all Vita games.
Aside from Uncahrted and Escape Plan, nothing really interests me unfortunately. Sucks that MLB The Show and Gravity Daze aren't out yet. It would've been the best launch lineup ever.

Hold off on Uncharted until you play the demo. It seemed really 'meh' to me. Lumines and Wipeout are the best of the launch games. @Jbul- I've got a big ass, I don't know if I've got big ass hands though. For the PSP games on the Vita, there is a 'bilinear filtering' option that smooths the games out a bit. It isn't as dramatic as PS2 up scaling on the PS3, but you can see the difference. Unfortunately you don't get to download the Vita version for free if you own the PS3 Rayman. I'd love to see publishers offer discounts if you want to buy the PS3 and Vita versions of a game. I know I'm going to be tempted to get both versions of SFxTekken next month. I won't be home till tomorrow, but when I get there I'll try to take some pictures that show the difference between the PSP games with and without bilinear filtering.- Please wait.

I hear you. MAG just didn't take off like they'd hoped. I got it at launch and loved playing it until my clan started branching off into other games. I'm still excited to try the demo of Unit 13 when it goes up though.

Not that I'm aware of. I'm picking up the 3G model for Sony's sweeteners and because I figure 3G will come in handy on long trips (there's no way I'm subscribing every month though).

[QUOTE="rragnaar"]. Near is an interesting app. I'm not sure that I'd use it for anything besides stalking people with Vitas. [/QUOTE]
I htink that was the primary purpose, Thanks to xbox live, Twitter and facebook, the culture of oversharing is the IN thing right now, Sony is just following the trend.

Just a warning... Sony might be looking to phase out the 3G version. They were offering one free game to anyone who buys (or bought) a 3G version in Japan. I wouldn't be surprised if they discontinue the 3G version outright.
BTW, CAG is reporting that Gamestop will also be holding a Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale starting 1/19. I might pick up Uncharted and Rayman, and see if I can preorder MLB The Show as the free game.
As medicore as Uncharted looks, it's the one game I am still interested in. Everything else i have zero interest in. lol

Nice. Inbetween Blazblue, SF X Tekken and MK, the Vita looks to be an amazing system for fighters. IMHO fighters are a good fit on portables (I got a lot of mileage out of Tekken: DR and SF Alpha 3 on the PSP). I'm keeping my fingers crossed for VF 5 Vita.

That's a nice effect. Can't wait to see how Loco Roco (an early PSP game but still one of the prettiest) looks with that turned on.

The Bilinear effects is really nice. I hate the dithering, aliasing and shimmering in PSP games. Ghost of Sparta is the only game that looked flawless.

I was going to get a Vita at launch, but money is a bit tight for me. Then I had planned to get one in early April, but now that I know PhSP2 won't be playable on the Vita....Sony's going to be waiting a while to get my money.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
