How do you feel about PSO2 coming to Vita?

[OldCoot]

I look at it this way will it help with sales? Sales is what drives games to either keep on going or die. I figure if this opens up to the Vita players as well, more people will know about PSO2 and increase revenue.

If sales really takes off I would think then that Sega will devote more of its resources on the game for both formats.

I picked undecided, sega has a bad track record of multi-platforming example: psu. Not having to deal with m$ certification of update hurdles might help.

[Ryno]

I say PC only but what can you do? ( nothing...) . now it's going to be looking like most are going to be playing vita especially seeing these votes. i know i wont. it is almost like over taking from original PSU and going to PSP with all their updates. beuase a lot like playing hand held games. when majority bigger screens are better like PC and TV. because its a bigger view than a smaller view like hand held. oh and better graphics.

For example with the Graphics.

PSP and PSU

Spoiler!

so. be sure what/which right edition you guys get. graphics matter.

[Akaimizu]

Graphics can matter. Of course, when it came to PSU to PSP2, then they didn't matter so much, because PSP2 was technically the better game for the money. On the other hand, if you have the PC for the great graphics of PSO2, you'll get that one. If you have a Vita already, and not the PC to hack it, then they'll likely go the Vita route.

But for me. I'm a vintage PC gamer. Performance matters way more than Graphics. So there are times I'll choose a platform because my PC isn't up to spec to give the same level of performance with the same graphic level. But my needs are different. I don't play a PC to play Battlefield with the latest graphics and bells and whistles. I'll put a lot more time into something like GalCiv 2 or Starcraft, or Heroes of Might and Magic, or Diablo 2. Or a great many Online games that require middle ground performance. Heck, I'll get into stuff like Dungeon Fighter or Shin Megami Imagine. They don't have the graphics, but they have the gameplay in spades and run with high performance in less spec.

Of course, I'm all for the PC version of this one if I can run it and Sonic Team doesn't do what they used to do and make even mediocre graphics require 3 times as much power as the same from most other developers. I still might spring for a Vita version just because it'll probably also be the best Dungeon Hacker on the go, surpassing whatever else is in their library. I'll be less inclined to get it if I can't use the same account, though. I'm not paying for 2 pay-to-play for the same game.

I think it's a very good idea, in Japan. They have a market primed for mobile gaming, to which the Sony line of portables have been successful in. Being able to access the same character data you use on the official game servers and play on the go sounds like a very cool idea. In America, I don't see it doing so well. At least, not well enough to assuage any security concerns I have about it considering the PSP's history and the fact that the PSVita was jailbreaked within 48 hours of launch.

At any rate, I'm certainly not surprised. I've been expecting a console release of PSO2 since it was announced, and this news is strong corroborating evidence that a PS3 version is in the works. Well, that and the Xbox 360 controller templates being mined out of the alpha UI templates.

[Akaimizu]

Perhaps. But since PCs can use 360 controllers natively with no extra drivers needed, I would've assumed that simply meant that the PC version was primed for controller use.

Perhaps. But since PCs can use 360 controllers natively with no extra drivers needed, I would've assumed that simply meant that the PC version was primed for controller use.

But the X360 controller is by no means the de-facto standard PC controller. Were it intended simply as a generic controller template, then I would expect the graphic to be far more generalized. Instead, it seems highly detailed (even adding in the battery charging slot on the top) and unmistakable as a 360 controller. I know this means nothing on it's own, but it is corroborating evidence that a 360 port is (at least) under consideration.

[ShinMaruku]

The real question is, will this be on ps3/360?

[Rika-chan]

I seriously doubt it, for 360 at least.

Looking at how much the requirements are for the alpha version....
Doesn't seem to be "too" bad as far as buying new laptop/desktop....


I have to buy a new laptop anyway seeing that mine is getting super old.... was made in 2006...got in 2007 (for school)
1GB of RAM ( can be 2)
2.20 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2
and 512 MB


So yea...it's old haha.
I'll be getting a new laptop once I start working more hours.... I know that desktop are overall better for gaming but the current place I'm in would be too cramp to put a desktop in there.

Plus I'm mobile often....so laptop would be better for me
