How much graphics this has?
NP.
I'm home now and wishing I was smart enough to have downloaded the PS+ versions of God of War 1 and 2 back in the day when they hit, but I already had the disc based versions and didn't see this coming. Ah well.

It has a separate list that shows up for me, not sure why yours isn't.
Yes it does. If you checked them on your Vita did you click "PS Vita System" or "PlayStation Network" while in the trophy app. Maybe you don't have wifi and were checking through the PSN section?
Here are some in-game screens I took from the intro area:
Here are some FMV samples, but I warn you that you may want to rip out your eyeballs after seeing them:
It's really hard to find any kind of positive to this port.

holy sh- you opened these in photoshop and shrunk them then blew them up like ten times right?
The Vita-sized screen does precious little to hide the porting problems they ran into with the sub-native resolution and especially the framerate. I can't say I've played all of the PS2 ports they've put out on the Vita thus far, but MGS HD is a considerable step up from what I've experienced thus far.
I didn't, but I think you just stumbled onto the technique that Sanzaru used to fit the FMVs into the space they had to work with.

Here's a stupid question for you guys... when you download the games, is there one or two bubbles on the home screen? (Think MGS HD Collection, where there's one bubble and when you launch it, you've then got the choice of MGS 2 or 3).
Just one: you go to a game selection screen after booting it. I suspect that in a couple of months that they'll be available individually, but for right now, you have to get the whole kit 'n kaboodle.

Thanks! I'm in the EU, but I bought the PS3 collection on PSN a couple of years back. I'll check in tomorrow to see if I can download the Vita version for free.

its finally shown up right now that i rechecked.
However it is syncing incredibly slow.
I think it's because the game disables network features while it's active.

Is the port THAT bad? Like unplayable bad? (Jak Vita collection)?
I haven't played these and have my preorder paid off

I haven't played past the first 5 minutes of it, but from what I played it's still perfectly playable. I don't know if they frame rate will hold up during other parts of the game though.
You have to tap to hold a door or hatch, but you have to mash circle to open.
You have to tap and hold to open chests.
You can't do either without touch controls.
It's a really petty thing to complain about, but seriously, why would they go the trouble of changing something so insignificant for worse? Instead of adding a touch option they straight up replaced traditional controls for that, just because.

Something awesome amirite
So I am looking at this review. It says:
I don't even know who these guys are.. But I read that as that at least *some* of the game is in native vita Resolution? Is that the case? I can totally deal with sub native res for stints, but if the ENTIRE game is sub native, then I will have to wait for a really, exceptionally, rainy day before picking this up.

DAT OT. Good thing i got this for free lol, will play it for the trophies.
I wonder if the Challenge of the gods of GOW 1 got nerfed, that trophy was a bitch on PS3.

I have yet to see any portion of GoW1 running at native res. As I mentioned, the FMV isn't even formatted properly for the Vita's aspect ratio.
It seems like most of the reviews didn't bother to really examine the performance of the game, which I'm finding to be immensely subpar.
I got GoW I and II for free when Sony accidentally gave it away and had the same message on the web store. Searching for the Collection on the Vita store shows them for free and I can download them. 3183 MB downloading now.
My god... The framerate in non-enclosed areas is jank. The TouchPad thing is odd but unintrusive. And the resolution... are you sure it's higher than the PS2? Looks like a PSP game but most importantly, it's pretty fun. If you're not a massive GoW fan, you may be better served getting a Ninja Gaiden Vita game.

And they fucked it up with the gyro aiming. Makes the tank section, communication tower and helicopter section nearly impossible.

The framerate was bad in the very first fight but leveled out right after that and I haven't noticed it since.Is the port THAT bad? Like unplayable bad? (Jak Vita collection)?

If you have a PS3, you just got them via cross-buy, so play it on that instead. They're pretty no-frills, but they look and run better than they ever did on the PS2.

Is this cross save?
No cross-save.
