Bought Golden Abyss yesterday after much trepidation. So far I think it's lovely, and I'm surprised at the amount of shit the game seems to be getting from every which way. I think the sub-native rendering resolution is a complete non-issue on the Vita screen itself and I even prefer the gunplay to its equivalent in U1-3, simply because Bend seems to have a better understanding of when enough is enough. Shame about the unnecessary excessive touch screen crap though. Surely something Sony forced down Bend's throat.
I think the game runs at 78% of the screen native rest, which is still higher than all the 720p screen we play on the 1080p tv. This game just need AA then it will look even better. Bend has lots of experience doing aiming and shooter on face buttons for the past 5 years lol. Moving on to analog and gyro makes their life much easier. Yeah, shame about the touch screen melee, they could have done it like U3 melee, which IMO still the best melee combat from the series.
