[VITA] Official PS Vita Thread

[MrBill]

The graphics look pretty shitty in those screen shots. I'd be willing to guess that the sidelines and other peripheral shit will be completely absent as well.

Too bad we can't get a few copies for review purposes or something. I guess only Knubb gets special treatment like that.

It's all but a given that the sidelines and any superfluous pixels not directly related to the gameplay will be gone. We might get a Vita review copy but there are no guarantees. If we don't, I will still purchase due to the low price and it will be the only portable NFL experience I will have available.

I think they look pretty good. Who cares about sideline stuff? I am buying the game to play football, not look at sidelines. I am excited for a Madden game to play on the go!

I definitely want football on the go too, but I also don't want to get burned by EA like I have in the past wit their portable offerings. Their PSP versions have almost always been pretty crappy and this looks on par with one of those games, just based on the screen shot. The Vita can do damn near PS3 quality stuff and that is not it.

I'm glad there is a demo I can try out first.

 

[DeviousMrMatt]

Yeah, I am looking forward to getting the demo to try out.

I agree that EA likes to screw us, and give the bare minimum, but I still think these graphics look pretty good

All they show is the characters. And look closely at them. They don't even have fingers! It's like they are all wearing mittens. It looks like an up res'd PS2/PSP game.

The Show's character models look great on Vita. Based on those screen shots, I can't say the same for Madden. I'm still looking forward to trying it out today.

True.

Has the PS Store updated yet?

Also, where's Handle? He texted me all this crazy Gamescom Vita info. Sounds insane!

Yes...I DL and played 1 game so far. Some are saying PSN is now down...must have just beat it if true. Game is solid for a portable. The past games on PSP didn't even look like the consoles lil brother. While not the same, the Vita version is a low res console game with some less audio (stadium songs lacking). With the $10 credit on Amazon, I'm really thinking of picking it up and using the credit on NHL....even getting the console version (comes with $15 credit).

I'm downloading Madden for Vita right now. I just played the 360 version and I was actually impressed by it.

We now have a [VITA] prefix for the arcade forum. Hopefully things are a little less confusing now. :thumbsup:

played a Madden Vita game - Gints vs Pats. I won 21-7. Hard to tell in 2 min qtrs. Tough to say....graphics are meh. The players are so small and it is hard to see the ball in the air. Tough game on portable. You have to try it out yourself to see if you like it. I think I would spend $20 on this max. I mean is it ok....nothing stood out.

The players did run funny, and when the crowd got loud the announcers voices got all messed up....maybe vita speakers. (no headphones)

 

[MrBill]

Believe that we might have an advance copy of the full version of Madden for the Vita tomorrow. Should provide plenty of time for a deep dive review to go out on release day if so.

 

[Twigg4075]

I was pretty impressed with the demo. I'll probably pick it up.

 

[Matt]

Messing around with Vita earlier. I just looked at it and said. "Can't wait for Black Friday"

I wouldn't expect the console to go on sale then but the games and memory cards will be.

 

[Swarley]

Alright, I guess it's time to check out this Madden demo on the PSV.

 

[Twigg4075]

Apparently that Amazon price was a one day thing or something because now it's back to $40. Of course. I was waiting for those dicks to ship my Sleeping Dogs so I could use the $10 credit from that on Madden Vita. But nope. They still haven't shipped it. Amazon has been disappointing me lately.

The Madden vita demo gameplay itself is actually rather good. A rather impressive development.
But the sluggish playcalling screen menus are a bit unbearable at times. Hopefuly it's just a demo thing.

Yeah, the framerate during play calling and cut scenes is pretty horrible.
