Recommendation: PS Vita games

[Globalisateur]

I'm pretty sure it was emulated, since the PS3 version was done with emulation. I think the reason they did it was it was less work than writing PS3 support for naughty dog's custom language, which was basically designed around the ps2, if I understand right. Plus, Sony probably let them use their official PS2 emulator to start with.

The fact that a ps2 emulator can run on a downclocked Cortex-A9(what was the clockspeed again ~300MHz?) even at half speed is pretty incredible. PCSX2 wouldn't get anywhere near that, especially running the jak games.

I mean, the fact that they sold it like that is pretty lame though.

Well I am pretty sure the PS3 game was not emulated at 100%, some code must have being rewritten for PS3 : native 720p + locked 60fps on PS3. Also it's still one of the most impressive title on PS2, and used all the tricks the PS2 had, like using the PS1 CPU to do graphic tasks.

If that game could be emulated that perfectly, while increasing the resolution (and not an easy 4x increase like PS2 games on PS4, but an odd 640x448 to 1280x720), all PS2 games could have being easily emulated on PS3.

I don't know if it was a partial emulation or full. I know the emotion engine was emulated. It's possible that the graphics synthesizer wasn't.

And I'm not sure I agree that if the ps3 could handle the jak games then it could handle all ps2 games. They're pretty high up there, but some games are still a lot more demanding to emulate, at least with pcsx2.

The Vita version of Oddworld: New 'N' Tasty turned out really well. And if you already own the game on PS4, you'll get it for free. I believe there's actually a sale for the PS4 version right now, so instead of buying the game on the Vita at full price, you can be a cheapskate, buy it for a couple of quid on the PS4, and then download it for the Vita later.

I have that from Plus so free for me too


and BTW, massive PSN sale on ! Tales of Hearts R and Dragons Crown discounted ! Hell Yeah, good I held out on my purchases !

So, juggling btween Persona, Dragons crown and the RnC 3 that i gave in and bought is actually fantastic ! I find that bashing games like Dragons Crown annd RnC3 are much better suited to the mobile play environment where the Vita comes in to use. I can turn it on, bash around a few enemies and press th epower button again and do my stuff. Persona does not lend itself well to that play style, it begs for continuos long attentive play sessions.

Thank you a lot for recommending Dragons Crown and weaning me away from Jak trilogy. RnC 3 with lock-strafe mode on works great, except for the aliasing , whihc, honestly shouldn't be there. Thank you B3D, I ing my time with the Vita and find myself not bothered to turn on my ps4 !

And I really wish that instead of ps2 emulation on the ps4, if Sony could give us all the classics on the VIta ! ah, that would be blissful !

Would be nice indeed. But considering the quality of the majority of PS2 ports on the Vita, a quick port job obviously isn't gonna cut it, and emulation is off the table completely. Save for the MGS Collection, FFX and Persona 4, every PS2 game was downgraded on its way to the Vita in some form or fashion.

I just started playing FFX on Vita. It looks exceptional. Very impressive work. Now I'm even more desperate for a similar HD edition of FFXII.

the hack does nothing except playing homebrew and PSP games. Thus i have not done any hacking. my vita just sit there, idling...

 

[RenegadeRocks]

Ah!


RnC3 is absolutely funtastic ! Funny, fun and very addictive. The whole upgrade ur weapons ala ACiT makes mundane turn meaningful or whatever, I keept the game running al the time, turn on power button , beat some levels, press power button ! It's always ready and waiting for me !

the game ! Lots of aliasing hurts the eyes, but the game is really fun

Nah, it's not fun enough to sacrifice vulnerable firmware.
