Ono hypocritically defends Vita

I couldn't find a thread on this.

He says straight ports to Vita are "silly and meaningless", yet he is doing a port himself. And before anyone says "its a game from the ground up" come off it. Street Fighter X Tekken is a shameless port. Much like SSFIV on 3DS. May be good games, but they are still ports.

Its good he wants to build a game specifically for Vita but to also admit in the article you are porting is hypocritical. You may be adding additional features to it but additional features merely make the game more appealing to the hardcore fans and nothing more.

Still its nice to see he is interested in the system.

As devs, they're trying to fully use the handheld's unique features instead of just straight porting it from consoles.

Does it matter if it's a port if it's a brand new game? Wouldn't it be better categorized as multiplatform? Usually, something is seen as nothing but a port after the game has been out on another console for a while. Nothing's concrete, but it sounds like sf x tekken Vita will be out the same time as the console versions. EDIT: also... it's not the same as the 3DS Street Fighter game because sf x tekken will look identical to the console versions, backed up by Ono himself and footage released to the public which you can find on youtube. the situation is clearly not the same.thatisfalse

Very misleading title and OP. He's clearly saying doing a straight port is meaningless and they are working to take advantage of the features of the handheld. How is that being a hypocrite? Did he not take advantage of the 3DS 3d? Is he not trying to take advantage of the vita's features? A straight port is one that goes to another platform with no changes made to suit that platform.

How is a brand new game a port? How?

Agreed. Game hasn't been released yet, so a port it is not.

I don't see the hypocrisy here. Seems pretty clear he's referring to just taking a game and dumping it on a platform, not bringing a game over and optimizing and tailoring it for a new system.

SFxT looks like it falls under the latter category.
