Converting PS3 games to Vita “is a smooth process”

Can anyone remember when the PSP came out and during several interviews game producers stated how easy it was to port PS2 games to the hand-held ? Well I do, and reading it so many times got my hopes up of seeing epic PS2 titles like Final Fantasy 10 and Resident Evil 4 on my awesome portable. Sadly this didn’t happen, but we did see great games like Persona and Grand Theft Auto got great handheld adaptations that played well and were very true to form.

Fast forward to now, and we have word from Vita Producer Tomoaki Ayano

In a recent interview Tomoaki Ayano had this to say: “Converting X Tekken from the PS3 to the PS Vita was a very smooth process actually.
The PS Vita is an extremely powerful piece of hardware, so it wasn’t all that difficult. However, maximising the power of the system was something that really took some effort.

Ultimately, though, we were able to achieve a stable 60 frames per second, making it a true fighting game experience. Japanese people are really good at taking big things and shrinking them down.
I can promise you that the PS Vita version of Street Fighter X Tekken will satisfy everyone out there.”

So there we have it. games from the PS3 to the Vita is a very achievable task, and although it took a bit of work to get the frame rate to the desired 60fps. There are many games that don’t utilise that high of a framerate. Perhaps certain games are easier to port? e.g. Fighting games are confined to a small area so there aren’t huge open worlds and vast amounts of game logic to process. Whatever the case, it’s best not to make that “ wishlist” or you might just feel a bit dssapointed when your favourite console game never becomes portable. Oh, how I yearn for on my PSP.

Cheers for reading,,

    I know Silent Hill 2 & 3 are on the PS3 already, but I’ve always preferred to play horror on my portables. Thankfully, our friends at Konami are greedy enough that I’m almost sure they will re-release the collection on the PS Vita before long. :)

       Finding the shards on Infamous 2 isn’t hard in comparison to how it was on the first one.  Complete enough side missions and you get the skill that allows you to see what direction the closest shard is on your minimap.

    That`s wrong for god sake which users want to play the same games on two consoles. If they do that like it was with PSP, Vita won`t have a huge amount of users. The should focus on each feature of Vita and for that doing new games no convert them from PS3, because that`s a wrong way.

     I always thought the PSP could run PS2 games but when a video popped up showing Rival Schools (Awesome Game and Musical Band by the same name) playing in slow motion i thought “maybe it can’t lol”. I think it was through homebrew at the time but if PSP games could play PS2 games why not capitalize on that? PS Vita can run remote play games on CFW but why not official firmware? I don’t understand Sony and i think they shoot themselves in the foot with incidents like this. Why put limitations on your product that will boost sales? Why do we have to find out new features of a product that we spent hundreds of dollars on through hacks, exploits etc etc thus leading to 16yr olds and under saying “no stop hacking the Vita it’s going to ruin it”. Really? Blame Sony or any company that puts out a product and does not take every measure to protect it’s investment. I’m sorry but I’m all for piracy, hacks, and exploits because these companies have millions of dollars to protect themselves from this type of stuff. Honestly if i was head of Sony or any company and a hacker just exploited a device or product of mine guess what, you just got yourself a job and someone just got fired, also bring your friends that help if any cause they have jobs too. Now if a hacker was out to do harm to people that will cost lives and “steal money” ( i say this as hacking a bank and wiring money ) then throw them in jail. Also keep in mind for people who think exploits and hacking destroy the games and game developing, next time your $300 hand held device is sitting there collecting dust waiting for new stuff to come out worth buying ask yourself if you got the $300 worth. Next time bills need to be paid or you need gas in the car or mortage/rent to be paid….let me know if Sony or anyone else picks up that tab “Rent due, put that wallet away son let uncle Sony take care of that for ya this month”. Somehow i managed to ramble on about how i feel companies treat there consumers these days and i lost track of my point BUT fact of the matter give us our money’s worth. if a product can do something for fuck sakes tell us. My PS3 use to run Linux “USE TO” until somehow something i bought because of a feature was taken away under my very own roof WTF.
