PlayStation Vita Japanese Launch Thread. "APOCALYPTIC!" says concerned Nuclear Muffin

I just tried the Dynasty Warriors Next demo and was surprised to see the sharp graphics on the character model that I'm using. Not to mention the touchscreen controls, there are so many kinds lol. It's a little gimmicky but hey, it works and add to the usual boring hack and slash
Uncharted is really impressive though. To be frank I'm not really THAT impressed in it's graphics. Maybe my expectations are too high or something, but the main point of this game would be the content. I have played for roughly 6 hours or so and i think i still have like 10 over chapters. It's a portable game but it comes with console quality, with all of the added treasures information, puzzles and same gameplay with added touchscreen controls, it's definitely a game that Westerners would like. I guess many Westerners' first Vita game would no doubt be Uncharted.
Oh and when I switch PSN accounts, it looks like only demos work. Applications don't work. Tried the twitter app but it didn't work. I guess it's the same with all of the other apps too. Hope this helps for some of you guys that's wondering whether content can be accessed from other country PSN accounts.
Are you finding the select button really hard to press? I have to use my nail cause it's so damn tiny and it feels like its so resistant to going in. I wish they were the same size as the PS button or at least 1/2 bigger.
It has ad hoc co op, but if you have a PS3 you could use the program Ad Hoc Party to play with other people online instead of just ad hoc. I am hoping games that were able to use that can also do it on Vita during psp emulation.

I'm trying to convince @yosp to bring the retail version of Gravity Rush to Europe.

This guy is so awesome though. If the Vita turns out bad I'll still buy it to support this great person. Hell, I'll buy three. Maybe even four!

Unfortunately not every game is destined for a retail release. we just have to come to that understanding.
On another topic, I tweeted a question to @yosp about a YouTube app for NA launch and all I got was a "good question" response. Hopefully we have more apps during the launch.

Whats the deal with that anyway
Does saving the screenshot in different format use too much resource or something?
They really do look a lot better on the vita screen. The images have a lot more jaggies. There are jaggies in uncharted but they aren't that pronounced. Virtua Tennis has NO jaggies yet it still does in the screen shots.

Is what happen when you have an image of 5 inches and you get that same image upscaled without any kind of transformation up to 20 inches in your monitor.

The output resolution is native.
But a image of 544 px height is a few inches in Vita screen, but a lot in a PC monitor. That's why you see it all pixelated.
They should at least do something with the compression...
Not for some of the games, like Uncharted above. Personally I prefer this "fair" output, but I guess developers would like to set the output resolution to the native rendering resolution of the game, instead of the system's display resolution. And that would be much preferable to them being able to turn off screenshots completely.

Just looking for a solid answer, wondering if and when I get my PSVita that I can play DJ Max 3, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Tactics Ogre. I was reading this thread the other day and saw that only certain games are making it into the PSN Store for Vita so I just want to make sure because these are some games I really want.

At least they're not forcing low-res like the PS3...
Assuming you bought them on PSN, you should be fine. But nothing is 100% since it seems some PSP games have gone missing from Vita's PSN.
Ok, I just checked the Vita PS Store and all those 3 games are there.

Would I be able to download and play PSP games from the Aus PSN store on my jap Vita?
And what about psx games?
And what about psx games?
They won't work until the Vita launches in Australia.
You can play them only by remote play from a PS3. The emulator is still a work in progress, apparently.
Nah the QA is a lot better, no problems with the screen. My launch PSP had about 5 DP
Is your WIFI working properly? Settings all ok? I know this sounds strange but I can only update my Near when I am near the wireless AP.

How long does the battery last on average? I would get 4-5hours on my 3DS, didn't mind in to be honest, does the the Vita fair any better?

yep, wifi works. PSN group messaging works. settings all check out.
i've been pressing the near button pretty much next to my router too and still no luck. even tried with my 3G sim card in the vita.

Isn't it more because of different technology?

Wait, really? 3DS brighter than Vita?
Mind if I request more details? As in, is the 3DS in brightness level 5 AND plugged in to AC for extra brightness? Is this at the Vita's 80% brightness cap in game? Lastly, does the Vita also have an extra brightness when plugged in, like 3DS and PSP 2000 / 3000?
3DS isn't brighter than DSi XL; I thought Vita would be at least that bright...

It even looks worse on the vita screen that in game......
Just had my second freeze in Tennis and it's starting to piss me off now. It's the second time in a row when I've been through to the last stage in arcade and gotten a hard crash.
Been asking this question like a thousand time.
Damn I can't turn on my PS Vita, was playing Uncharted and made my PS Vita to sleep mode, after awhile i tried to turn it on but it won't, instead the PS button flashes blue for awhile and turns to full solid blue color. Tried plugging my Vita into the AC adapter but the PS button turns into a solid purple color instead. And i still can't turn on my PS Vita after holding the on/off button for more than 20 seconds. Any solutions guys?
Edit: Nvm it works now, i pressed the power button for like a min or so and the solid blue color on the PS button disappears, charge it and i managed to turn it on again.

PSP is a lot like 3DS - when you turn on WiFi battery life goes to shit, especially on 1k. Although my main complaint about 3DS battery is not when it's on - it's the sleep-mode that dies ridiculously fast (anecdotally - 1-2 days, 12hours if you forgot to turn off WiFi).Salaadin said:
Anyway, I haven't done any measurements but by observation Vita easily outlasts all 3 of my PSPs (1k, 3k and Go) as well as the 3DS.
I'm not sure why people even complain about this - it requires very special conditions to even allow you to see it, and it's muted at best even in those.samven582 said:Every OLED device I have seen has this problem
Next to LCD Clouding, which is apparent almost 100% of the time(granted, luck of the draw varies) - I'll take this any day.
Yet in sunlight, I found Vita the more readable of the two, maybe I'll try taking some shots to see if it's just mental thingNuclear Muffin said:

Tried many times, all I could find was videos of people hoping to release the English version on Vita.
Thank anyways.
They'd have to releasse it on God knows how many carts.
What???
A 3DS cart is a minimum of 2gb, devs can use bigger carts if they want to (Up to 8gb). Revelations is using 4gb.

This makes me nuts too. I take it Vita doesn't have this problem?
Why do people even care? You shouldn't be using either device on max brightness anyway.
EDIT: Sorry, that sounds unreasonably crabby. What I mean is: medium brightness on both is more than sufficient and 3DS, at least, can't effectively use its highest brightness anyway, so it seems like a kind of meaningless comparison anyway.
