Final Fantasy Type-0 and Monster Hunter Portable 3rd PSP vs. PlayStation Vita

Gematsu: "PlayStation Vita is out in Japan – we’re all pretty jealous. Comparison images of PSP games running on PSP versus running on PS Vita have already begun to surface."

That's a big difference in color. Looks like the bright colors are lost on Vita for Monster Hunter whereas the color for FF Type 0 look better, to me at least.

IDK it doesn't bother me really, and TBH i can't tell which one looks better for the MH games. Wonder why the coloring looks so different

Abash4522d ago

The colors look richer and deeper to me, and is it just me or is the actual in-game lighting a lot better for PSP games on Vita? Im very impressed

Nitrowolf24522d ago

yeah I can't really see which is better, though looking at the last two pictures it seems to me that the PSP version has to much green haze affect, whereas the Vita gets rid of it which looks better to me.

MasterCornholio4522d ago

The big difference in color is due to the OLED screen. At least it's confirmed now that PSP games will look great on the Vita.

The colors for the Vita have that blueish tint to them whereas the PSP has more of a red green tint. The contrast is superior on the Vita to the PSP. The color accuracy is where there will be issues. However, the color gamut will be higher on the Vita so ultimately you will see more colors in certain games that did not seem apparent when playing the PSP. Vita will show more colors on screen than the PSP and the overall look will be more like a PSP 2000 blueish smooth tint to the rougher greenish tint of a 3000 screen. The colour gamut will be better and the games will look better than the 2000 screen so Vita will win. But some games you may prefer the color tint on the 3000.

Maybe because FF type-0 was made with the Vita in their minds, so I guess there is something within it that will make it look better when played in the Vita. With regards to MH, I guess at that time, there are little to no talks about the Vita so generally, they didn't see that coming. I don't know. It's just my guess.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4522d ago

for FF the image is clearer (which only makes the jaggies more noticeable). And the the colors are better. IDK what to say about MH.

How Final Fantasy’s First M-Rated Game Laid the Foundation for XVI’s Dark Tone

Final Fantasy XVI demonstrates how the franchise has matured since the release of its first M-rated installment, Final Fantasy Type-0.

90°

Type-0 Is The Darkest Final Fantasy Ever Made

DS: “I hate that Type-0 is forgotten among the Final Fantasy games. While not the strongest entry, its mature story makes it stand out from the others. And even though Final Fantasy now has three rated M games — including Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin and Final Fantasy XVI, — Type-0 will always have the crown of being the first, and arguably the darkest.”

i agree that it is indeed dark, but it has its issues.

and i feel like the ending is what makes it really a dark final fantasy game.

the rest is more or less war where teenagers fight.

This game was the epitome of the FF dark age pretty much, was hella boring and the gameplay was tedious. I'm glad SE got the series back on track

gold_drake326d ago

well, it was more of a spin off rly.
especially after they dropped the fabula nova crystalis stuff

H9326d ago

I actually really love this game, the main problem however was that the entire story and personality of the characters, was in the lore that you need to dig very deep to find and external materials outside of the game, honestly it has my favorite lore in the franchise, I wish they had made the game more story focused, god it would have been a masterpiece

The Best Final Fantasy Spin-Off Titles Ever Released

Xfire writes "The Final Fantasy franchise is nearly as old as the video game industry itself.

First released way back in 1987, what initially started as a hail mary title has since turned into a media franchise that has spawned more than a dozen mainline titles and been featured in other forms of media, making hundreds of millions of dollars along the way.

But while the mainline titles get all of the attention -- all eyes are currently on Final Fantasy 16 -- the franchise also has a handful of spin-off titles that are just as good as the mainline titles."

I enjoyed World of Final Fantasy and I love Crisis Core

SDuck1164d ago

Do you even know what a spinoff is?

FallenAngel19841164d ago

Do you? if you even have to ask that

FallenAngel19841164d ago (Edited 1164d ago )

@ cool

It’s more than just having characters. KH uses various gameplay mechanics, themes, terminology, & aesthetics from FF.

It just happens to be a spin-off that’s also a crossover, similar to fellow spin-off crossover titles such as Pokémon Conquest, Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle, & Warriors All Stars

coolfool1164d ago

Does including characters from a game make it a spin off? If so, is Smash Bros a spinoff of Metal Gear Solid? 😕

Nerdmaster1164d ago (Edited 1164d ago )

I would put Bravely Default as the best Final Fantasy spin off, even though it doesn't carry the Final Fantasy name (although the japanese version does have the subtitle Flying Fairy so it could carry the FF acronym).

About the games in the list, I like Dissidia 012 a lot, but my favorite is Theatrhythm. I still turn on my old 3DS from time to time to play a few songs.
I wish it had some remixed or orchestrated versions of the old songs, though. NES/SNES songs are nostalgic, but when played by an orchestra they're taken to another level. Strange that some people complained that Theatrhythm Dragon Quest did exactly that... I guess nostalgia does speak loudly.
