And what about load times? ^_^

And what about load times? ^_^
I edited my post. They're still lengthy, yes.
Oh you. After this I thought you and I could be coolio. I guess not.
Whoops, I thought it was longer than 11 seconds. My mistake.
How long is "lengthy"?
Yeah, I figured after reading on. Didn't Studio Liverpool get some crazy weird scaling (horizontal lines were 1080p but scaled vertical) on the PS3 version to maintain performance at 60fps while still displaying in 1080p? Looked amazing whatever they did.
Yeah, just watched that video. That's a LOT of stuff to load though.
(Disclaimer: I totally accepted MNR PS3 load times, so I'm good)
I'll time one at lunch.
You've got some miracle-eyes there given that Youtube-vids can't be 60fps.
Lovely.
What about 60FPS? I don't see "only 30FPS" in the negative section.
Looks beautiful.

People that are playing it have said that it's not detrimental to the game, so why bother listing it as a negative?

People getting bummed?! I'm out!
It looks smooth for what it is and it looks like they were able to add some fancy effects in exchange for the frame rate. It's a compromise I make on PC so I don't why some are getting all in an uproar just to make a stink. Leave it alone and accept it. It looks amazing.

Wipeout 2048 is looking amazing (those post-process effects...daamn). The load times are a bit of a concern. Although I won't have an issue with them as long as the 'restart race' option is instant once the race event is loaded. Can anyone confirm that this is the case in the demo?
Kudos to Studio Liverpool for bringing such a top tier title to the Vita for launch. Classy effort guys.

Hopefully that can be fixed in the future. Not letting that deter me from buying. It looks great. I don't even know if I was going to try to get a racer but it looks like I may.
Restart isn't instant but the loading time is MUCH faster than when running the race for the first time.
Perhaps the demo is highly compressed to decrease the download size?
I mean, have you seen Hard Corps Uprising on XBOX360? The load times between levels literally take upwards of 90 seconds from HDD. The PS3 version, which has a larger file size, loads in just 20-25 seconds. It's clearly the result of aggressive compression.
Would hope to see the same thing with Wipeout, but I'm definitely concerned.

Brilliant, cheers for that. Bring on February
That's what I was thinking but the compression doesn't appear to be anything special. 404MB for the single track demo.
Loading on restart is around 16-17 seconds, but it's kind of weird - it goes up to 94% in about 8 seconds, stays there for ~6 seconds and then goes to 100%.
Yeah, it was a complaint in one of the reviews.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Supposedly Namco has a patent on that or some bullshit. I remember reading about it a while back, and why Dragonball Z games and the like seem to be the only games with Loading mini-games.

Not a massive issue, IMO, restarts are pretty quick.
The load times are Modnation Racers bad but I think that the biggest problem is vita's face buttons layout. Even with my small Japanese hands, it's a bit hard to operate. I did only two races but my thumbs are hurting now...How can you the gigantic western vita owners manage this?
took a few pictures.

Native res? Seems like it. Looks absolutely gorgeous!
Which layout are you using? Wipeout or Racer?
DMC3 had fun loading screens and Bayonetta let you do train your moves. Being able to rotate the camera around a 3D vehicle would be good enough.
Wipeout. Everybody uses that layout, right?
Since the default is Racer, I think not. Plus aside from having only square to do that fancy turns, it really isn't that bad.
I know. But it's hard to perform a side sift with that layout. This action isn't useful in this demo though.
Edit: If you applied for this, check your JP account email. I got a 1000yen psn code a few minutes ago. Yay, free Super Stardust Delta on Thursday.
I think the resolution changes on the fly depending on what's going on. If there's a load of missiles flying and stuff, it looks lower, although that might just be the smoke effects.

Holy crap @ those screenshots
Gacha-pin: How do the Vita buttons compare size-wise to the NDS/XL face buttons? Do you find those comfortable / uncomfortable as well?
Is the left analogue thumbstick comfortable enough to use with the left index finger kept over the left shoulder button (for airbraking)? I had lots of issues with that on the PSP and had to stick to using the d-pad for ship control as my index finger wouldn't comfortably stretch to the shoulder button while I was using the analogue nub.

The smoke is probably lower res. It makes sense. It looks pretty good in video and I wouldn't doubt Liverpool being smart enough to do a dynamic resolution switch dependent on heavy action on screen. It's smart and non intrusive really.
I can't compare them, I've never even thouch DS, 3DS and PSP.
The form of the shoulder buttons on index fingers and the analogue sticks is comfortable enough. The problem is I can't press o button or squre buttons properly during holding x button. And also, the right stick gets in the way when you want to press x button.

I got to play Wipeout 2048 today at the Playstation Access Tour in Manchester on Deansgate.
It was a 'trial version' and you could race on four different tracks. The visuals are great but I was a little disappointed by the framerate.
I know its 30fps and everyone says its butter smooth but it felt like it was averaging 25fps and I could especially feel slowdown when I was racing up close with more than one ship.

If it's the one with four tracks on a white screen (they're arranged in a grid in the lower left) then it's the E3 demo and massively outdated. Trust me, the final game is MUCH better. Resolution is better, frame rate is better.
man those screens are just f***ng awesome. I was planning to delay my WO purchase but the game looks stunning and i may reconsider. I hope PSN euro version has the same deal as Japanese PSN and is discounted (btw, how long do those launch psn discounts last?)
Could it be that physical copy of the game comes uncompressed and psn one compressed and the have different loading times?

Loading times tend to be quicker off carts, yes.

Yes that was the one I played. Faith restored. Thank you.
Being a huge fan of wipeout since the first one on the PS, I was extremely excited about this game until I learned that it's not 60fps like HD on the ps3. Seems like a big step backwards because it really added to the feel of the game imo.
After spending months with HD and Fury, wipeout really needs to be 60fps going forward.
You're welcome. =)
Oh, I agree, but the majority of the games in the series are not 60 fps. Only HD, Fury, and Fusion.
