PS Vita and Final Fantasy XIV

[Noir]

Even with the new engine the Vita could not run FFXIV -.- how powerful do you think the Vita is?

As much as the ps3. If we can play a ps3 game , pause it, and continue on the vita, means that it can run it. But I'm waiting an answer from the devs if its only a dream or if it's being considered. We will be getting ff X for vita/ps3, but I really expect square to surprise us in a good way as they always do.

the games that will let you do that so far look below average as of PS3 standers, and no the Vita is not "as good as a PS3" I don't care what BS Sony spews out about it, spec wise it is no where near. I dont hate the vita, I plan on getting one myself, but I am not fooled by marketing ploys

The Vita can run FFXIV as much as the PSP could run FFXI (aka not at all)

don't get your hopes up to much, all the vita will be doing is running a PS2 game with slightly better textures.

You gotta see to believe it. Even the best psp game released so far, graphics wise that would be parasite eve 3rd birthday or kingdom hearts birth by sleep, looks cheap comparable with any vita game so far. Even not being that close to the uncharted from ps3, vita uncharted managed to get 90% character modeling and 80% scenery compared with uncharted ps3. Give some time and yes, they could make it look 95% as the ps3 counterpart. I heard FIFA vita looks the same as the ps3 minus some game modes. Final fantasy X, was kinda of obvious that it wouldn't be a remake. But more a HD version on the likes of god of war hd. I will get it anyway

You know those games are being streamed from the console right? It's not actually "running" them.

No, that's Remote Play - and not many PS3 games are compatible with it; it has to be manually enabled on a per-game basis (although it seems to be universally compatible if the game's being emulated from an earlier system like the original Playstation).

Noir is talking about Cross Play - same game published on both consoles, accessing the same save data via cloud storage, or people with the game on the PS3 being able to play with people who have the game on the PS Vita, ala Wipeout 2048 <> Wipeout HD/Fury. There's a Metal Gear game planned that'll allow cross-play single player by stashing its saves on SEN and being published for both Vita and PS3.

Ok, but in the case of Cross Play it's not the same game and it's definitely not the same graphics running at 60fps, I can guarantee you that.

Well of course not. Despite 'fact the Vita's specs average out about similar to the PS3 when you factor in the RAM, it's processing power is lower and comes from a totally different architecture. Code written for the PS3's cell processor is basically incompatible with the standardised stuff in the PS Vita, even setting aside the lower maximum screen resolution.

Frankly, if they go with a port rather than something platform-specific, they'd probably have an easier time porting from the PC.

I just don't see them porting the entire game regardless.

However, if they do release some sort of app or game that latches into ffxiv (chocobo raising, crafting, anything really) I can see myself buying a Vita at that point.
