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

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.

i end up using the lowest setting on a lot of my handhelds, anyway, just to get more battery life. i can deal with the dim screen... i mean i used a gba sp and ds phat for a long time.
 
First time I heard of Vita having lower brightness. Can someone who owns both confirm this from first hand experience?

Low Brightness? News to me

Not exactly the greatest game for brightness in the US 3DS , but hey - neither machine have any issues with screen brightness as far as i'm concerned.
 
lol, why !? Is it that horrible !?

It seems low effort, and I've heard very conflicting things on the quality of the port. I also don't think it's any value to be selling MGS3 alone for $30-$40 with barely any extras when MGS HD Collection is available for $50. If you really want to play MGS3 on the go, wait for the Vita version of the HD Collection.
 
Why do people even care? You shouldn't be using either device on max brightness anyway.

I usually use my handhelds at home and near a power source, so you'll always find me ignoring power saving options and maxing out brightness. On the the 3DS I'm not entirely content with the brightness level, even when I end up turning off the 3D. So knowing that the max brightness of Vita is slightly lower calls for some concern.

See this comparison pleases. If there's a difference, it's indistinguishable to my naked eye.

I blame Nuclear Fuddin.

Don't hold your breath waiting since this is apparently what Konami considers a good HD remake -_-

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.

Awesome. 3rd freeze for tennis within the hour. The game just randomly becomes unresponsive after a point. Player driftsnside to side and screen even dims and sleeps but i cannot do anything without turning off and on.

Really shitting me now.

As someone who played through Peace Walker on PSP, that's actually quite beautiful...

The idea with the HD Collection wasn't to remake the games, but simply upres the games to modern standards, and clean up the jaggies, and some bad textures. Konami actually went a bit above and beyond changing some control schemes, adding native online modes, etc.

Till i have it in my own hands i'll avoid being hyped for it, been burned so far with MGS3D. Everytime i learn something new about it my anticipation dies a little bit more.

Well, what KojiPro promised was the HD Collection that the consoles are getting, which are upresses that seem to have had effort put into them. Snake Eater 3D looks is a one-off effort and looks insanely lazy. Like it really shouldn't exist at this point.
 
Yes it is, Damm Konami and their terrible ports -_-

Knew it wasn't gonna work on Nintendo's portables.

I don't own a 3DS but the first trailer we saw at E3 was pretty good, if it's the same graphics and controls, I wouldn't call it horrible but I would call it mediocre.

This makes me nuts too. I take it Vita doesn't have this problem?
Nope, actually even when it's on I hardly feel the impact from Wifi and BT (on PSP GO even BT noticeably shortens the life).

I tried to be comprehensive here (all systems are set to max brightness):

First of all, WoW. Vita beats them all.
Secondly, how did you play it on 3DS and the other devices!? Or were they just videos you browsed via the device !?
It doesn't matter, this makes me so happy.
 
He used a screen shot taken from the Vita and transferred it to the other devices.

I think the Vita beats them in contrast and color pretty easily, but from those offscreen photos, the victor of brightness wars seems to be the late Go.
 
RIP Sad Duck :(

Really!?, have they released a recent gameplay video.
EDIT: Oh wow, we are going off-topic.

You can find offscreen captures from the 3DS eShop demo, but suspiciously it didn't have a trailer at the Nintendo Direct showcase when even lower tier franchise titles got them. People have been complaining about the frame rate, the textures looking really bad.

I wanna see Kojima's reaction to it,lol.
Thank for clarifying it.
 
Pointing out with absolutely no commentary, I like that when Kojima says MGS3DS is a remake everyone calls him a liar, when Square says FFX is coming, everyone thinks it's a remake.

*sigh*

I'll probably end up getting both.

But how can you enjoy it on that device, it doesn't suit MGS style at all.
Vita or PSP would play fine, but 3DS!? No way.
 
The comparison pics really showcase the superiority of the OLED screen. Replaying my PSP games on the Vita is going to be so awesome.
 
Is anybody having the stability issues that I am? Straight out of the 4th freeze today, I reset my console and put it on charge. 15 minutes later I come back to it and am having the blue flashing freeze and have to restart again :S

Is the issue for this known yet? Its starting to worry me :(

I owwnnnn *counts* four (turns out it's five) copies of Metal Gear Solid 3.

I am a crazy person that prefers the pre-Subsistence control scheme.

I think I'll manage.

I never encountered this issue, but I usually "kill" all any application in the background before putting it to charge. When you reset I presume there's no application in the background?

Another thing I can think of try unticking the application that are on auto-start, under setting--> system --> autostart and see how it goes.

This worries me because if you've Never had this issue but I've had this problem well over 20 times since getting the system two days ago then why the big difference?

Bah. Just want to enjoy virtua tennis but it keeps freezing mid match.
 
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.

I know this thread of conversation has already moved on but I like to elaborate that this isn't quite right either. The smallest 3DS carts are actually only 256MB. 2GB carts are actually the largest carts on shelves at the moment. However you are correct, that Revelations will ship on a 4GB cart next month and that 8GB is the current maximum that can currently be manufactured (though it's obviously still too expensive for any devs to use yet).

Side note: In a way you were actually accidentally correct on the first point (and accidentally incorrect on the rest). 256MB = 2Gb. Lower case b's actually stand for bits, rather then bytes and 1 byte is 8 bits. Yeah it's confusing I know.

Try disabling the auto start applications and see whether that improves, also I do not have Virtual Tennis so I cant comment whether it's the game at fault as well.
 
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 thing ;)

Good to hear. I would've thought that might be the case with it using an OLED screen!

Edit: Oh, so the Vita is brighter after all! That old comparison pic mustn't have had the Vita at full brightness then. All the better!
