dwarf Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 So are the sticks... Honestly, pros wouldn't use it. If they mandated gyro aiming that would work/be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I've put some serious time into my Vita this weekend. I played and finished Resistance yesterday. I decided to start with this rather than Uncharted as it's only 4-5 hours long. It was an enjoyable romp, even if it is a little rough around the edges. If I wasn't so invested in the series I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as I did. I played around with that free app that's on the Vita. It's quite a fun little selection if games, if a little short. I started Uncharted this morning and i'm nearly done. I would have had it finished if I didn't have to come and sort out the mess in the Nintendo part of the forums. Uncharted is really just like playing a PS3 game in the palm of your hands. Even though Sony Bend have made it, it looks and feels just like Naught Dog had done it. The witty banter is still there, as is the tried and tested gameplay. In terms of the Vita itself, i'm so impressed by it. Now I love my 3DS but compared to the vita it now feels like a Fisher Price toy. Having a touch screen that is so responsive is a breath of fresh air. I thought I would have had issues with the sticks, but they feel fine. My only issue is the shoulder buttons, which I would have liked to have been like the PSP ones, which are more square. All in all i'm really happy with my purchase and think it's a quality bit of kit. I'm deciding whether to play through Uncharted on Crushing tomorrow or whether to start Gravity Rush. Either way fun will be had methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember any free games, what's this? Something with the AR cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I don't remember any free games, what's this? Something with the AR cards? Nah, its on the start screen. It has a few mini games in it, like a skate boarding game, a numbers game and a sliding puzzle game. It's kinda like a tutorial for the Vita's functions.

My Xl feels squidgy compared to the solid vita but responsive touch screen? mines useless! maybe its the official screen protector that came with my travel pack, i've had it on since i bought it, but sometimes its hard to even unlock my vita and slide the page down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgy screen perhaps? I was on the Wii U yesterday and it's like night and day between the quality of the screens on these devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 In terms of touch screen responsiveness or visual clarity and resolution? I'm interested in the comparison between the two as I might pick up a Vita one day for PS4 remote play. I believe the vita has a higher PPI than the Gamepad? Both. The response time and accuracy of the Vita screen is amazing, as is the clarity of the picture. The only issue I have with it is the mura effect that has happened. Apparently this is an OLED problem and is very common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 That sounds nasty does it make a noticeable difference during gameplay, or is it only apparent when you have a full black screen (such as a loading screen)? I hear the Vita has burn in issues too... I've only ever seen it during full black screens so its never been a proper issue for me anyway. Also no burn in at all on my Vita.

Sheikah Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Yeah if in a dark room the blockyness is noticeable. But you're damaging your eyes anyway by playing in an unlit room so it's not really a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liger05 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 What do you guys think if the indie game push for PS Vita? will it be a system seller? No. People dont buy consoles for indie games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Heck is the Mura Effect? It seems the Mura Effect is when the screen is on but black (a loading screen, for example), darker or lighter patches can be seen. I had no idea what it was, but my screen has it a lot.

Sheikah Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Pretty sure every AMOLED screen has it. I was surprised by it at first, before I knew it was a standard thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Gibbs Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 the Mura effect is horrible it looks like you've spilt something on the screen like dried on water spots or something, its horribly noticable on my Vita when its dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I've not noticed this...but now everyone's pointed it out I probably will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I noticed it on day one on the black loading screens on Lumines... fortunately it only really appears when there's nothing much happening on screen so you can pretty much ignore it. Speaking of which, I've pretty much been ignoring my Vita for months now, I must upgrade to that 16GB card I got ages ago and actually start using it more.

Hero-of-Time Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 With Uncharted and Resistance done and dusted I started Gravity Rush earlier this week. It's quite a fun little game. The camera can go a little all over the place at times but given than you are flying upside down and side to side it's quite understandable. It has a very French/European feel about it and some of the music reminds me of the opening theme from Monsters Inc. for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Once you upgrade your powers a bit more in Gravity Rush and really get a hang of using them it becomes really satisfying flying around that city the way you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not very far ( Chapter 6-7 I think ) but that's mostly because i'm just flying around and under the city looking for gems. There are a few challenges kicking about but figure I would just leave them until I get some more upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipaul Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I don't have a Vita or anything but I thought I'd post this in here 8GB memory card with 10 games for £25.99 Seems like a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
