New PS VITA
This week on Tech Talk, we’re talking about the long awaited for PS Vita. Being that it was already released in Japan, Americans are utterly jealous. There’s good news though, because our wait will be soon up. Many Play Station lovers have embraced the hype and rejoiced at the release date. February 22nd, is just around the corner. With the excitement, Sony plans to give an initial bundle, including, the Vita 3G + Wi-Fi model, a limited edition case, 4GB PS Vita Memory Card, and Little Deviants game for $349.99 (MSRP). But besides that general information, how about I appease your taste buds with a little information on its already enticing specs.
This console sports features like front and back multi-touch screens, motion sensors and Six Axis sensors. Being able to feel the full-on intensity of First Person Shooters will be like being in the game with these dual analog sticks that put a player in the midst of multiplayer action. You can tour the gaming world with Wi-Fi and enjoy continuous, uninterrupted gameplay between your PS3™ and PlayStation Vita systems with compatible titles. Vita will also support the free-to-play business model. This thing really packs a punch but at the same time it’s said that its "performance is not as good as PS3". Vita is powerful, but that power is also optimized for battery life and power consumption. It’s also confirmed that the Vita's PSN Party functionality is cross-game voice and text chat, a feature not supported even on the PlayStation 3.
And all that’s great! But hold on a bit, I’m not here merely to celebrate with you; I have to dish it out to you, even if that means I have to tell you the sad truth. So get ready for some of the not so great aspects. Sony’s game design chief, Yoshida, tells it like it is when he says some good games could prove to be a problem considering that the PS vita is not cartridge or cd based, everything is downloaded on the system. That means, there’s a problem for ones “who do not have a fast broadband connection” alongside the impending space issues. That honestly makes me a bit concerned, why would you want limitations on what you can play on a brand new device. That and the fact that the vita won’t even support Adobe’s Flash platform in its web browser right off the back makes the Vita just a tad bit less awesome. It may not suck as much for some other people, but I tend to have a serious problem when I have to jump through hoops in order to launch videos on the internet, after all how much else is there to do when surfing the internet, but that’s just my opinion, it’s not like it can’t be done.
Other than that I have one question to ask, is the PS Vita really ready to come out? I’m not the only one that wonders, experts have done the same. In the past there has been the PSP go, in likeness of the Vita, it was based on downloadable games, and when you think about that, it didn’t have much success. As previously stated, there are memory issues and the fact that it’s just not what people want. If anything though, it’s worth checking out for sure, there’s no doubt about that, especially knowing the way Sony performs, not only in game consoles and graphics but in general, including computers and cameras. I might not buy it for myself but I’m sure glad I could give everyone a heads up on the news.
