PSVita 3-5 hour battery life, memory card info, games list

[FireGrey]

The launch titles are looking terrible..

i know. if only the vita's list of launch titles consisted of about 5 shitty games like the 3DS's.
then i'd be sold.

however, with launch titles like uncharted, littlebigplanet, and killzone, i might have to wait until there are shittier games to come out on the vita.
like street fighter 4 or dynasty warriors 21.

I didn't say anything about the 3DS launch titles.
Although by the time Vita comes out my money will be on Mario Kart 7, Super Pokemon Rumble, Super Mario 3D Land and Zelda OoT.

More ports and collections. This is a strange trend.

Almost as though technology advances so quickly that Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft give out dev kits without much time to do anything and keep upgrading bits until the launch (hence the third party's alleged dissatisfaction with the Wii-U dev kit). Meaning that only the simplest games exist at launch and once the system is out and stable it can have beter software made for it (with each developer seeing how something was implemented by another and attempting to improve upon it).
3DS and Vita are a new generation, yet both are being compared to their predecessors which had pretty dire lineups for quite a long time

Atleast this won't initiate a rage from Sony fanbois that their launch is any better

Battery life is same too, though 3DS goes more with 3D off.

This all comes down to what softwares come in the future. Seeing 3DS's future list, it's looking promising but looking forward to the Vita's future list.

better than the 3ds line up , and not much remakes compared to the 3ds.

im actually BAFFLED that there was not a single Monster hunter announcement. Its the one game in japan that pretty much sells the PSP. If they cant get MH4 then i have some doubts (though il be getting it anyways) but its just hard to see the system without MH.

Monster Hunter 3rd is still going, don't see why they should release one for the Vita when the Japanese are so attached to their PSPs i.e they'll most likely wait until after the release of the Vita to announce something

Proprietary memory that costs almost double the same amount of memory in other formats

The launch titles are looking terrible.. I will skip it for other 1 year or 2 to see the better titles.

Oh it really will. My opinion is that both have different capabilities, and once developers learn to exploit the rear touchpad of the Vita and the 3d of the 3DS (as well as the two screens) the competition will be truly on, yet null and void as serious gamers will want both.
Fanboys of gaming, regardless of from where it comes. That's what we should be
RE- Battery life, as an adult with a job I find that 3 hours is quite a long time- especially as my DSphat and PSP1000 both have battery life of under an hour now

Shin Megami Tensei
Ys Celceta Sea of Trees

Yes please to those. I'll keep an eye out on the Level 5 RPG. Thought to be honest I'm interested in finding out what type of game Project N.O.E.LS. and several titles are like. Google wasn't that helpful just now.

Some PS Vita software titles may require the use of separately sold memory card for saving game’s saved data while some software titles are capable of saving it on to the PS Vita card itself. Please refer to the PS Vita game packages or game manuals for further details.

So, basically you need to have a memory card in order to save just like the PSP, but not for all games?
Or does it mean a memory card specifically for a game o.O?

Oh god why am I thinking that the Japanese will really "exploit" that rear pad....

I guess the Vita game card has so much memory for save games, any game that requires more memory to save needs a memory card.

What is the point of the rear touchpad?

"Finger candy" ? I'm also skeptical about this touchpad... Anyway, I'm sure some developper will find a good way to use that.

In all honesty I can't even come close to thinking of a real reason to it being there other than for hentai games

That's why we need developers to find a reason for it- if it had a 3d screen it could be used to push things into the foreground...

Yeah, and suck the battery to 1 - 3 hours...

5 hours of battery life is still a little too less to my liking, but those sweet graphics will make up for that. Looking forward to it, more than I ever was to the 3DS actually.

It's 3-5 so it can last in between too

I'm quite liking games from both consoles (like... ZOE Vita, MGS HD, MH Tri G, KH 3DS), so I don't really mind.

But OLED is supposed to be a power saver though.
