3DS XL vs PS Vita Screen Size

"We took the PS Vita and the 3DS XL from Kotaku’s recent size comparison image and overlapped them so that you can get a better picture of just how similarly sized the screens are now. It’s still worthwhile to note that the pixel density on the PS Vita’s 960×544 screen is nearly twice that of the 3DS XL’s effectively 400×240 screen."

While i do love the idea of a 3DS with a giant screen, its pixel density is what worries me. Im so used to the Vitas beautiful screen that i am worried that i will notice a huge difference between the 3DS and the Vita.

Anyways i have to try this 3DSXL out before forming a opinion on it.

NewMonday4326d ago

an important thing to know is that Vita games are made for the 5' screen resolution, while 3DSXL games are enlarged from the original 3DS

--Onilink--4326d ago

actually PSV games could work on a bigger screen, the resolution is high enough. They just dont make a bigger screen because it wouldnt be confortable.

The same case might be with the 3DS, we will have to wait for some comparison shots to tell if the original's resolution is high enough to work on the bigger screens. People are acting like ppi is everything, and while important, there are many more factors that determine the quality of the screens.

@--Onilink--

from my experience with the DSXL the image gets stretched

it was the same for PSP games on the Vita

farhad2k84326d ago

Judging by the DSi's transformation to XL, I'm guessing the screen will be pixelated with the 3DS also.
They're using the same parts, just a bigger screen.

Canary4326d ago

I'm not that worried. It'll still have a higher dpi than DSiXL, which was fine for me.

I'm worried about three things.

First: the speakers. The 3DS had -AWESOME- speakers. I really hope they don't skimp out.

Second and Third: the 3D. I worry the 3D effect maybe be worse, and/or I'll have to hold the LL too close or too far from my face to be able to play comfortably.

Other than that, I love everything about it. I just can't decide if I want to sell of my 3DS for it or my DSiXL. It all comes down to those speakers. I've turned my DSiXL into a dedicated Chrono Trigger device.

jon12344326d ago

does it really matter!?!?!?! screen size doesnt make gameplay better!

r214326d ago

it does however make games look either amazingly beautiful or downright bad.

Hicken4326d ago

It doesn't necessarily hurt- unless it's so tiny you can hardly see what's going on, but it most certainly can help, especially when it's got the resolution to bring games to life.

ninjahunter4326d ago (Edited 4326d ago )

Same size, less than half the resolution. Seems smart.

malypso4326d ago

Nobody mentioned the fact that, while yes its bigger with the same resolution, the 3D effect will probably look a whole lot better. I personally will wait till I hear of a trade in bonus for the 3DS before I make the jump to an XL, if I do...

Gigawatt254326d ago

What else is new? Everyone knows the Vita is superior.

Trunkz4326d ago

thats why its out selling the 3DS right? o wait...

bothebo4326d ago (Edited 4326d ago )

Typical Ninny fanboy. Can only justify his purchase through numbers.

No Vita owner ever tries to justify their purchase because they know it is better than the 3DS. I had a 3DS and the only thing stopping me from throwing it in the trash was the fact I payed money for it.

When I played my brother's Vita I almost put a condom on because I was so in love with it.
Anyone who has played both will tell you that the Vita is better hands down. In no way can you argue the 3DS is better.

Click "Disagree" if you agree!

@trunkz jr

Guess by your logic, the wii must be God compared to the ps3 and 360 tech and quality wise because it sold more then both. Stupid Nintendo fans, sales don't equal capabilities. The 3DS is dated tech and soon it'll end up just like the wii and depend entirely one 1st party support then it'll we'll all be asking where are the games at lol. And you are aware that not only has the 3DS been on the market almost a year longer it also received a well deserved price cut and its library is considerably much bigger and appeal to a broader audience. Lets wait and give vita time to build its portfolio some more. I don't think Sony wants to drop the price on the vita just yet.

homer4325d ago

Well. The 3ds may not be technically superior but it has more games and better ones at that so that should makes it superior in my eyes. I guess you like to play with hardware, I like to play games. -_-

DarkHeroZX4325d ago

@homer the vita has better games then the 3ds did at its launch and didn't. By the holiday season thats when the 3ds stopped getting ports and started getting decent titles. Vita is looking to do the same thing

Yes it is, but no stupid Ninny fanboy will ever admit that. They'll just continue to quote sales to try and justify their purchase and make themselves feel like they're not the only ones who have been ripped off.

It's about games, not the tech inside.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5074d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905074d ago (Edited 5074d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5074d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5074d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495074d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5074d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5074d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
