Playstation Vita vs. Nintendo 3DS Comparative Analysis – Which ‘wins’?

OXCGN:

"With the PlayStation Vita‘s launch finally here, the 2nd and last member of the current handheld generation has joined the Nintendo 3DS in proving that dedicated handheld gaming consoles are still relevant in the age of smartphones and tablets.

With that in mind, I’ve put both devices through their paces to find the strengths and weaknesses of each platform.

I hereby present OXCGN’s definitive comparative guide to the latest and greatest handheld consoles."

NYC_Gamer4440d ago

both are solid handhelds that offer different experiences

Proeliator4440d ago

I'm torn. I have both but have barely any games for either...

gaminoz4440d ago

I'm more of a PSVita man, but I'm not going to pay that much (look at the AUD$...$100 more in a country where we have a higher dollar).

I'll wait until a good bundle comes along. Meanwhile I have my consoles and my ipad...

imbrawler4440d ago

you wont buy a vita because it's expensive yet you have an ipad.....

REALgamer4440d ago

Well, an iPad does more than just games.

Kind of the same reason PCs are more expensive than consoles, even though you can play games on both.

moparful994439d ago

@realgamer and a vita does more then just games.. It does games better on top of facebook, twitter, netflix, foursquare, flickr and as I'm sure many more apps to come.. The vita has a web browser, two cameras, and a slew of social networking abilities... This logic is flawed..

Shok4440d ago

Both are very solid platforms. The 3DS has the edge right now but that's due to the fact that it had a year head start. I can't wait to eventually own both.

FriedGoat4440d ago

I have both and I can tell you the Vita launch titles alone outclass everything the 3DS has so far.
It is FAR superior.
Not only do you get a SHEDLOAD of content in the games, but they look beautiful. Instead of spending 5 hours completing and collecting all the coins in 3D land im spending 10+ hours on uncharted campaign and then trophy hunting. And thats just one game, even the PSN titles have lots to do.

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.
