Flower is out on Vita
- Thread starter whitehawk
- Start date
You know, I actually do wonder if this will play nicer on Vita and PS4.s'ok bro you can keep your lame sixaxis motion tripe, i will gladly take the one that controls like a dream
I'll try it, but I think I'll make my first time actually clearing the game on PS4.

thatgamecompany's first masterpiece, available on the Vita for me to play at no additional cost.

Flower is never 'native' resolution on anything though.
PS3 version used I think something like 1300x800 backbuffer, and rendered that into 1080p front buffer through that lens distortion shader. At maximum distortion, center of the picture would be at about 512p resolution, while the edges would be higher than 1080p.
I'm guessing Vita version is doing the same thing, because UI and title screen look to be native res? Basically, look at the edges of the screen. If stuff there looks native res, then it's running at native res front buffer.

Thanks. Downloading now.
More reason to play it again, just on Vita.
Hmm EU update is tomorrow?
Is it not crossbuy in EU? Actually, I'm not even sure when flower for Vita is coming for EU :/ I'd assume tomorrow...maybe they'll save it for new year. Better idea imo, although might be talking out of behind as have not played it.

THIS PLEASE
Nope, alot of people do...I loved it but its very divisive
anyway...yep its Flower on Vita...very minor differences such as rock geometry and maybe a smidge less grass, but looks great and plays the same

I think it looks gorgeous on Vita and it controls just as well as it ever did. Fantastic port. It's hard to complain with free.

Yup. Really enjoyed Flower. Downloading it on my Vita, but I might just wait until I can go through it all again on the PS4 this weekend.

I'm kicking myself for letting my GF buy Journey on her account rather than mine.
This is definitely going to hit that next gen cross-play/buy barrier.

This game put such a big smile on my face. Can't wait to play it on my vita
EU probably has to wait for the PS4 release here. I hope it is already coming tomorrow.

Yes.
Sometimes I saw surprise releases on EU PSN store, don't remember the last one but it was announced for US well beforehand and it just showed up with the corresponding EU update...hopefully, I watched BlueMaxima's video on it and it looks great (at least, BM reassures us with his excitement for the visuals, which may not come across on youtube). Hopefully it lets me explore a little as well, looking forward to it!

The trophies aren't syncing for me, also.
I've seen this problem with a couple of other games in the past. On rare occasions, they'll have a newly released game that doesn't sync trophies because the trophy list hasn't been updated on PSN from the developer side of things. Issues like this usually get resolved after a day or two.
The game is really beautiful on Vita. It's nice to have for free, and I'll happily play through it again.

I didn't even know this was getting a Vita port. =x Hope it comes out in PAL lands this week too.
Not out in EU and AU yet.
Downloaded it, love the surprise, love the cross-buy. I think it looks pretty damn good on the Vita.
Those who bought the retail version. . . I would not get my hopes up for Vita access. : /
So stealth.

So it would seem that the Remote Playing the PS4 version would look better than the Vita version then seeing as it would be downsampled 1080p.

They mentioned that they cannot do cross-buy for the physical copy because they have no way to tie your account to the physical disc to verify the purchase.
Ugh, motion controls are completely backwards, and while I could adapt on a controller that DOESN'T house the display it's completely unacceptable when the controller is the display, and I hate the touch controls. I was going to redo the first stage to get a feel for it, but definitely just ignoring it until PS4 now.
gonna have to agree. gyro controls work great for controlling the camera (FPS or gravity rush), but not this where you're just changing the direction of the flowers, not the camera.
Hmm, that sucks. I assumed they could do something similar to the PS3 crossbuy games (PSABR, Sly, etc.) where you register the disc and get the Vita download.
dunno about the actual statement, but i thought the word play was quite good
Ya, after playing it myself it definitely looks like the Vita version is doing this too. It has a weird look to it, where sometimes things look like jagged messes while other things look crisp as can be. Ultimately I think the port looks amazing, and I don't have any major complaints.

Not native res? Common.
If I can play Mercenaries at Native Res, I should be able to play friggin Flower.

Can you use remote play on PS4 to output a native resolution Flower on the Vita?
PS3/4/Vita crossbuy in EU too.
Vita and PS4 versions both out 29/11.
