PS Vita and Final Fantasy XIV

[Haru]

I would not mind seeing a crafting app on the PS vita tho.. craft at work ftwin!

I bet the people moaning about how bad the Vita is don't even own one and that's why THEY MAD xD

Agreed. Because when I hear people saying that it's inferior to the ps3, I can clearly see that they didn't played it or had them in their hands. I remember when uncharted 1 came out in 2006-2007, the uncharted for vita doesn't stay behind that one. I can't wait tO see after one year the kind Of games it would be able to handle given time. Plus I can't wait tO see square's final fantasy entry for the vita.

remember it takes more power to run a game @1920x1080 than it does at 960 x 544, plus a smaller screen size means smaller textures translates to even more overhead reduction. because the Vita screen is oled the frame-rate can be locked to 24 and still look smooth.

the vita can probably run this game better than Most of your low/mid range laptops and that alone would sell.

That's for sure, I feel like my videocard is literally melting everytime I run ffxiv on the laptop... >__>

To get into specifics, the PS Vita actually features double the amount of RAM when compared to the PS3. The Vita has 512 MB of RAM and 128 MB of video RAM, as opposed to the PS3’s 256 MB RAM and 256 MB V-RAM.

Does anyone have a vita and can explain to me how the apps for it work ? This is not like I can go on the android market and get all the same apps I have on my phone right ? These are all apps that get put in the playstation store and only those I can get right ?

I guess my question is, is there any user created apps and is there a chance that it will eventually gain the same types of apps that my phone can do ?

Number one reason why FFXI/FFXIV is not presently being ported to the PS Vita: Battery Life...

From what I could see, the apps are from Sony only. But I think they will be added via play station store by devs. I didn't fiddle too much with the ps store from vita, but it has lots of psp games to download. Plus minis, shared ps3/vita games. Apps like Facebook , twitter and Netflix were added via the last software update. The OS works basically like the iPhone, to move and customize the screen apps at your taste.

Maybe, because when you start uncharted it shows network off. I guess to save battery.
Still, you can always keep the charger around. I do with my iPhone. Got 2 chargers. For home and work. I'm lazy to keep moving them around. :$

Any publisher (small or big) can put their software on the playstation network if Sony thinks they are worthy. The devkit is probably pretty expensive though. For PSP it was around $1500 I think.
And a battery life of 2-3h is still more than 99% of the gaming laptops out there got :P
