I've been begging for that for years. Disgaea and other 2D titles look HORRIBAD blown up.
At the very least, shrink it to 2x resolution if they think that size is an issue for people.

Yeah it's a good port of the console version. Having said that, I really doubt it's going to do much for the Vita. This should have come out while people still cared about the PS3 version so cross-saves could actually be a worthwhile feature. If only the new Borderlands was coming to Vita. If this was a port of Diablo 3 with cross-save with PS3 and the upcoming PS4 version, holy shit. That would move some freaking Vitas.

Wow, would have never expected Xblaze to get a demo much less before the game releases.
PSP had shitty 3D graphics, combined with a terrible screen. Vita make the graphcs somewhat better with a warmer color scheme and better performance than played on the psp.
One of my favorites on the Vita - the gameplay is fluid, controls are tight & content is plentiful. Music and graphics are great for a PSP game, too.

Oh it's not going to do anything for the Vita; even if it was a made-for-Vita Borderlands I honestly doubt it would do anything. "Anything" being "make it a viable platform alone", that is. Good critical perception can't hurt though.
Finished Momohime's story. But there was some piece of text when I finished it that say I could get new endings if I used different swords. I'm going to look for some info in Google.
The ending I got had

Jinkuro making a pact with the Budha. The latter would heal Momohime if the former accepts going to Hell
I finally got around to reading that statement from Sony about (paraphrasing) using PS Now and Remote Play to bring AAA titles to Vita. I'm kind of bummed out about that. No matter how dire the Vita's future looked, I always felt that Sony was at least trying. I still do too, as evidenced by the recently released Borderlands bundle and the trio of SCEJ games coming out. But I guess that quote just made me realize that Sony isn't putting as much effort into the system as it could - and likely never will.
I love the indies we're getting and I love the Japanese games, but the latter are mostly coming from third party publishers like NISA and XSEED. SCEA in particular doesn't seem to be doing much and it's quite disheartening. I wish they had more WWS teams working on Vita games. Doesn't have to be whole teams making AAA titles, but more Tearaway/Sly Thieves in Time size games would be great. I get why Sony's putting more focus on the PS4, but I guess I just hate that the system's potential is being squandered.
Sorry if that sounded overly dramatic, but I was just hit with a realization that I guess I was trying to ignore lol.

In other news, does anyone know if Serious Sam 3 BFE is 60FPS on PS3?

Even I would preorder this online rather than preorder on a store.
That's either some revisionist history, or you're making a completely unfair comparison between 2004 hardware and 2011 hardware.
You can count out IGN on the good reviews part: https://twitter.com/Vincogneato/status/464904146202529793

Meh. I trust GAF critique 100% more. Most don't though, and will take a review of a certain outlet as gospel. I think many will unfortunately review it for its stance as a 2 year old port, and that it doesn't play like the PC version.
Sorry, at the time we had the ps2, GC and the xbox, the graphics weren't special. better than the DS, true, but people often forget the subpar graphics of the most psp games, the terrible loading times, and the ghosting of the psp1000 screen. I've been there.
God, why am I so dumb all the time. Just learned today by accident that you can control almost everything on vita with just the buttons and ignore the touch screen once turn it on and open that first page thing. How in a year of owning a vita did I never accidentally hit the D pad or Left Stick and see that it was selecting things? This is also a much more convenient way of moving bubbles around as opposed to dragging them if you need to go multiple pages.

Ah yes, almost forgot to ask a question here.
I started Stick it to the Man last night on PS4 and I was enjoying it up until I was able to read minds. Why did I stop enjoying it? Because when I read the minds, no voice acting accompanied the text and because of that, the text didn't continue and I couldn't progress. Does anyone know what happened? Do I need to delete and re-download it?

So instead of making an unfair comparison between 2004 and 2012 handheld hardware you make an unfair comparison between the handheld and console hardware of the time. Outstanding. By this logic the Vita has shit graphics because the PS3 and 360 exist. Handhelds are not consoles. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
Sorry, at the time we had the PS3, 360, and smartphones, the graphics weren't special. Better than 3DS, true, but people often forget the subpar graphics of most of the Vita games, the terrible loading times, and the mura effect of the psv1000 screen. I've been there.
PSP was a definite step above everything else in the portable space at the time. Phones played janky Java games and Nintendo's handhelds were always two generations behind. As time went on the screen's faults became apparent, but the only thing from your list that I can recall PSP being lambasted for during its initial life were the load times. The majority of games on platforms prior to the late 00s didn't have top of the line graphics because people were willing to support B-tier projects. The death of that isn't something to celebrate.
Would you mind if I comment on each game?
Borderlands 2 - Vita (Digital + Retail)
While I didn't like Borderlands 1 so much on PS3 (it felt...so lifeless? I played alone, so that must be why :l), but from what other places have said, the sequel is a great improvement over the original
. The Vita version, from what I saw online, plays well...its no Jak Collection and considering how massive the game is...it is impressive enough that Iron Galaxy got the game running on Vita as well as it is to begin with :O! It runs at 30FPS (with some FPS drops, rare crashing and some slowdown in the more NPC dense areas) at Native Resolution 
; the games cell-shaded look makes the transition to Vita all the more stronger. The controls are fully customizable and there is 2 player co-op. It even has most of the DLC (a good value; the GOTY Edition alone costs more then this)! I don't know if I'll ever play this, but it looks like a great port to Vita .Here is some videos from the YouTuber 'latestvitagames' (he posts great videos on other Vita stuff too
)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGnLXgG_z5w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2ETU3ji9Ug
Minecraft PS3 Edition (Retail; Digital has been out for a while at this point)
What is there to say? Its Minecraft on PS3
; open areas to explore, tons of mining to do, lots of stuff to build and creepers to kill . While I'm waiting for the PS Vita version to come out (it might be the best place to play it outside of PC), its a good buy for those who want Minecraft but only have a PS3 . Serious Sam 3:BFE (PS3 - Digital)
Hell yeah! Classic run and gun shooting with Serious Sam is back
! I remember playing the original when I was younger at my cousins house and found it so fun . I don't know much about this one, but if its anything like the original games, then is going to be a good time . I don't know if it runs at 60FPS, but considering this is an older game, it should run at a high frame rate. Soul Sacrifice Delta (PS Vita - Digital Only)
This is more or less they definitive version of SS; better resolution, tighter controls, more content to play with, more spells to cast and even being able to import your existing character with your original SS save (great for us PS+ users; can easily resume where we left off from
). It a great game that got even better, so it is a must buy for all Vita owners . Also, the game is much bigger file size compared to the original; 3.2 GB. Keep that in mind if you don't have much space on our lovely over priced memory cards :l....MaximumSpider

I'm at Walmart now and I see Borderlands 2. Might pull the trigger.
Bita Voobs to win NPD.
So I didn't own a PSP back in the day, (I was going through my I'm too cool/old for handheld games phase) but my brother did and the main thing I remember from the vita-1000 was the horrible analog nub thing, did that ever get better with later models? My other memory is that my brother is a sportsbro call of duty loser, so his PSP library of UMDs contains more movies than it does games. A shame, really, because I would love to play some PSP games I missed but so many of them are not on Vita.
Honestly I didn't like the PSP or the DS back in the day, but those sold like crazy. Funny, cause I love my Vita and like my 3DS well enough and neither have sold anywhere near their predecessors.

I really think that's true, even your vita ps3 3ds comments. I'm sorry that I forgot to put IMHO at the end of my posts. People compares graphics all the time, even on different hardware, is not a big deal. see the Borderlands 2 reviews, and guess what, not only the reviewers think that.
Gonna make it clear that I loved the psp, tons of great games. But I dont praise it for the graphics.
Good enough for me. Thanks! This group deserves someone doing a solid rundown of The Drop.
I wish they'd actually pay someone to do something interesting on the official blog.
I don't think they'd ever do an opinionated piece on the PS Blog. I'd rather they pay someone who actually knows that Sony has a certain first-party game being released next week.Good enough for me. Thanks! This group deserves someone doing a solid rundown of The Drop.

Who said this? Because it's 100% false, to me. Everything about the sequel was absolute shit and I can't believe I played it as long as I did. It's more an expansion to the original with terrible characters and reddit memes comes to life.Borderlands 2 - Vita (Digital + Retail)

Oh damn, mind blown. I knew about button control for the UI since it was patched in, but I never thought of doing that. I guess I always assumed pressing X on a bubble in move-mode would just bring up the options for details, patch history and delete.
Sweet avatar. I literally just got that poster again a couple days ago. I got it originally when I was a teenager back in the mid 90's, from a cool store that sold didgeridoos, rainsticks, incense etc, but it got destroyed in a fire in 2007. My mom had one sent to me to replace it just this week. It was really cool to see it again.
Soul Sacrifice Delta. A new Uncharted wouldn't even need the PS Blog to do well.
I liked BL1's characters a lot more than BL2's, but there was something about the gameplay in BL2 that made me like it more overall. I'm not sure why myself.
I don't know why, but thats my case too.

I always liked the PSP. Well to be more accurate, I always liked the PSP's games. It was the system itself I didn't like. I hated the analog nub, I hated the game prices and I hated the UMD format. For these reasons I did actually buy more DS games than PSP games despite the fact that the actual PSP library wiped the floor with DS imo.
Which is another big reason I love the Vita so much. I can play PSP games on a system that's way more comfortable to hold, play PSP games with an analog stick that's actually good, buy PSP games for reasonable prices and I don't have to deal with UMD's. I've actually bought more PSP games for my Vita than I ever did for my PSP. Vita gave me more appreciation for the PSP library.
As for the Vita itself, it's my favourite handheld ever and as you can probably guess I despise the 3DS. 3DS is probably the least satisfied I've ever been with any game system I've ever bought.

Couldn't buy Borderlands 2, GAF. Sale wasn't allowed. 
I don't know why, but when I read your comment about the UMD I remembered that a few years ago while I was on GameStop I saw a kid with his mother complaining because they "opened" the UMD case and the game didn't worked after that.
They didn't get a refund. I bet it was that kid first PSP game :l
I discovered this myself recently. Moving bubbles is sooooooooo much easier with the buttons that it destroys the argument of the bubbles being built as a "touch friendly" interface.
To me, all of the games that shoehorned in touch screen BS on the DS detracted as much as games that made great use of it added (such as TWEWY, this is still the soundtrack that I run to at the gym). Like, LTTP, Link's Awakening, Oracle of Seasons/Ages had a perfectly good control scheme, why did you have to ruin it with Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks just to take advantage of a 2nd screen with touch? Would it have killed you to leave the original control scheme as an option? As I said before when talking about DJ hero, I always find it uncomfortable to hold a system with my left hand while using right hand floating in space for the touch screen, and it was way worse with the DS because it was so bulky. I would like the DS so much more if all games were like the pokemon games, where the game played the same, but some things were more convenient with the touchscreen, but the same as always if you didn't want to use it.

I will never miss an opportunity to decry the travesty that is the DS Zeldas, even in an entirely unrelated thread. I bailed out of Uncharted: GA, and that shit was optional. I just can't stand it, it stopped being novel shortly into 2005.
Imagine what would happen if someone writes this on a 3ds thread
Instead here in Vitagaf we are open to everyone
BURN THE TRAITOR! 
I agree with the control thing. I know Nintendo wanted to add touch based puzzles to the Zelda temples via touch screen items, but I rather it had remained the same. Bottom screen as a map would've been good enough. Same the touch controls for the boat/train and allow Link to be like regular Zelda.
Do you listen to anything else as the Gym? I played P4 about a year or two ago and I'm still listening to the soundtrack a lot when heading to college.
Yeah, this place really is diverse. Too bad Nintendo won't let us compare the hardware. Sony just wins easily lolImagine what would happen if someone writes this on a 3ds thread
