CNET: PS Vita vs 3DS (Video Comparison)

[QUOTE="Nonstop-Madness"]I expected the Vita to win in everything but Value and Games. Bigboi500

I think they took into effect that the Vita just released and used these launch games to 3DS launch games.

[QUOTE="KBFloYd"]

who would buy vita for uncharted? morons..

who would buy a 3ds for mario games? everyone.

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="KBFloYd"]

i stopped watching when psvita won the the game library fight...

like...seriously?

KBFloYd

the 3ds library is better than vita...lets not bring out the list.. its been out a year!

cnet thing is bull..

You just answered your own question.

oh Zarshack where art though?

The hardware on the Vita is clearly superior but the 3DS software is miles ahead of the Vita'sKaze_no_Mirai

[QUOTE="Kaze_no_Mirai"][QUOTE="FlamesOfGrey"]

What list? As far as retail games are concerned (I haven't been following the Digital 3DS Titles). You take away the ports and remakes and you're left with Dead Or Alive, Mario Kart 7, Nano Assault, Super Mario 3D Land, RE: Revelations, Tekken 3D & Tom Clancy's Shadow Wars after 1 year. It's not crushing the Vita just slightly better.

FlamesOfGrey

Hot Shots Golf: World Inviational, Lumines, Touch My Katamari, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Wipeout 2048.

There is also Pilotwings, Nintendogs+Cats, Shinobi, Ridge Racer 3D, Sonic Generations, and Skylanders. The last two are actually different games from the console versions. Gamespot seemed to think Hollywood Crimes was worth our time, but i don't know anything about that one. Is Tetris Axis exclusive?

AceCombat AHL is apparently a remake of AC2, but i must not remember 2 well enough because it seems like they are fairly different.

Thats not super impressive given that its been out a year. Its a good lineup DONT get me wrong, but its not mindblowing 'omgzz look at this lineup'.

My issue with Sony 1st party titles in general is how "off" everything feels.

It's not a platform thing either, it's software. Playing MGS4 felt like perfection. UC2 was also great.

When I'm playing a Sony game, and many of the 3rd party stuff on PS3, aspects like controls and interface are functional and sound good on paper when you read them in a review, but when you hold the controller in your hand, the controls just feel off. It feels like going from Galaxy to a Sonic game, I can't stand it.

It's weird to me when you guys are praising UC:GA/Wipeout/LBP/Modnation. They are great experiences and quality titles, but unplayable to me. Not because of broken controls, just the feeling/physics is weird/off.

PSV titles that interest me: Gravity Daze and Little Deviants.

None of them are a must have though, and I think the price of PSV will go down before there are more games I like, so I'll wait.

That sucks for you man :( I wouldnt wish something like that on my worst enemy. Is it something with your hands? Can you get it checked out? Arthritis or whatever?

ok, how are those titles any better than whats on Vita? and no i am not making a friggin list. Videodogg

Yea but who is saying the 3DS lineup is bad?? Not me...and if you're talking bout the CNET comparison, I am sure they are taking into effect that the 3DS launch was the way it was and the Vita deserves the same luxury that the 3DS got which was "wait until games come out". When 3DS came out everyone was bagging on it for having no games, but all the 3ds owners (like me) said "WAIT FOR THE GAMES!!" Then comes Vita and everyone is bagging on it for not having a lineup as good as the 3DS. Cmon now...At least give them the same luxury nintendo got since we are comparing the two.

Anyone who has played a Wii and a PS3 know this is the same thing. You pay more to get a lot better system. PS Vita >>>> 3DS

wtf

to give more specific examples.

I can't play LBP due to the bad character physics.

I can't play Wipeout PS3 because the controls are bad. Either that or I just don't get the mechanics of the game. I got the game to try the stereo 3D effect.

and so on

stopped watching as soon as they got to the games category. What a bunch of bullsh*t

Its funny seeing all the butthurt from people on here when they haven't got a Vita. Pretty sure everyone who owns both knows the Vita is better in practically every way.

This is why I'm confused.

1) the physics arent bad. Read impressions and reviews...where do you get this bad physics from?
2) same goes for Wipeout. I'm glad you bring that up because Wipeout is a game I play frequently, how is it bad? Do you mean compared to previous versions of wipeout??? If thats the case you must have a really bad ability to adapt to things. Sometimes you need to learn a control scheme instead of just saying "OMG THIS ISNT HOW I REMEMBER IT?! I GIVE UP"

3) Maybe its a mental thing if you're the person saying the controls are bad on every sony game. sorry it doesnt make sense.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] What matters in the end game is that the 3DS has a better library.p4s2p0

the 3ds fanboys are out in full force tonight, i see. Its just these guys opinions, no need to get your panties in a bunch.

[QUOTE="p4s2p0"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] What matters in the end game is that the 3DS has a better library.Shinobishyguy

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"][QUOTE="p4s2p0"] Depends on the person as plenty find vita's library betterinfinite884

It's current sales are leaving it in the dust

In terms of the library, the 3DS whoops the PS Vita just on backward compatibility alone. While the 3DS practically uses the same cartridge as the DS, Vita owners have to deal with the fact that the PSP uses the UMD while the Vita is using a cartridge. Although you can say that the Vita can download PSP games online, keep in mind that UMD have an average capacity of 900MB. In other words, that 4gb memory stick that came with the vita is going to fill up very quickly. Don't get me started on the memory card as well, the MS Pro 2 card you have in your Sony camera or PSP? You can't use it either for the Vita.

Lol this was much more entertaining than I thought it would be. :lol: thanks for the laugh bhp.

[QUOTE="infinite884"][QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"] not many judging by the lackluster sales of the device. So far it seems like only hardcore sony fanatics are saying thatShinobishyguy

[QUOTE="Eponique"]

[QUOTE="_Matt_"]To me Uncharted Golden Abyss == Resident Evil Revelations in terms of gameplay quality. The only reason I prefer Resi Evil slightly more than Golden Abyss is the insanely good RAID mode on RE:R. I would say right now Vita and 3DS have pretty similar quality of librarys right now (in my opinion), that being both have some awesome games.

_Matt_

Don't judge a game by it's cover. I have played through both titles in question extensively.

Don't get me wrong, Uncharted is no killer app per say, but it's remarkably good for a launch title. From what I understand from some of the lower review scores for Uncharted game suffers from uncanny valley, in that these revirewers directly compared Uncharted to it's console counterparts, highlighting it's shortcomings, rather than highlighting the positives (such a cinematic game on a handheld for instance.) Meanwhile Resi got away clean from this.

I'm not saying Uncharted was wrongly reviewed, it is by no means a 9/10 game, I'm just trying to offer a potential explanation as to why in some cases Uncharted got mediocre reviews (such as here on GS).

This is why I'm confused.

sorry it doesnt make sense.

SRTtoZ

Yes! That's the thing.

I don't understand the appeal in those particular titles, and you vice versa.

And I fully anticipate the Vita to be a great handheld worth owning. I want it to do well, heck I need it to do well, so that Nintendo stays in check. All in all, this is a great time to be a handheld gamer. I wouldn't be attacking the Vita if there weren't some ridiculously inaccurate statements made by some absolutely (presumably) ignorant Vita fanboys (not you, but some other ones in this thread).

They feel fine to me now. Did they feel 'weird' at first?? Yes! Lets remember this is the first time we've held a handheld system with dual anaglogs so there was a weirdness with it, but like every control scheme on earth, with time you get used to it and it soon becomes second nature. When I first played Uncharted I was like "What is this?? I CANT AIM!" but by the next few chapters I was killing guys with headshots left and right. It def has a learning curve but its nothing crazy. Just give a non gamer a sixaxis or 360 controller and see how well they aim with it...

Now onto the proprietory sony stuff, I can agree with you. While I understand what Sony is trying to do with securing its memory and all that, the prices are pretty ridiculous... thankfully I have a choice to just buy a small card and buy physical games instead of going full digital.

While I think the 3DS has sold very well and is very successful lets not confused myth with fact. That 3.4 million number was SHIPPED, not SOLD.
