MLB 12 The Show Video - Developer Walkthrough (PS Vita)

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Developer Walkthrough (PS Vita)

I've never been much of a mobile gamer, but I did own a Gameboy when I was a kid. That being said, I'm really looking forward to a Vita. I used to ask myself, when do these 20+ year olds have time to play a mobile system...or at least the ones like myself who drives everywhere. But lately I've been using my Epic 4g for gaming more often. Little situations where I know ahead of time where I'm about to be at a place where I have to wait for something..or a girl's place who doesn't own a system and she is cooking or taking a shower.

either way yeah I'm getting a Vita to keep in the trunk of my car at all times....I mean sure I'm going to bring it in the house as well, but I'll always have access to my type of entertainment when ever I want to.

I really want games like The Show, Madden, Fifa, etc on the go...but ONLY if it is similar to the console versions, which is why I believe the Vita has sparked my interest.

I understand the economic standpoint of the Vita. I own a full Move setup as well but I don't expect these guys to put in tons of time on it. I can understand that people want their games as I am finally excited that some decent sports games are coming to Move with great controls.

Coding another system is 5x more work, though.

I fully well know many people will use a Vita. I totally hope it is a success on a great level. But I also want The Show to continue to be dominant. Last year it was showing some signs of ageing and I have no idea about this year yet but it looks to be okay just not quite going to blow me away.

As far as increasing revenue and all that.... highly subjective. We don't even know how much Vita is going to sell right now. People have to have some major dollars hanging around. Great tech, etc..... and I will support it someday. I guess I am a little greedy in this situation because I know devs like the HD port guys do wonderful jobs themselves and The Show PS3 means a lot to me.

I guess it is a little like Pixar during Toy Story 2 when they took over their own project and wanted it done the right way.

To me grass should not have really been something that Vita would have killed anyway but that is another discussion....

For me, I wouldn't be buying the Vita on release day or maybe a few months after its release. Mainly because I'm in no position to spend $300+ on the system and game just to play it maybe on the bus or during an off period like studyhall. However, once information regarding the Vita is released buy Madden or NBA 2K I might consider it. If I can do the same thing as The Show (Play same file on Vita and PS3) with other games that would make me buy this system.

Basically what I'm saying is, in February I will not be buying the Vita and The Show (Of Course I'm buying it for PS3) but in September/October when the information for Madden and NBA 2K regarding Vita is released, I might be buying it then.

The good news is, now that they've actually built the Vita version, it's not going to take up as much time as every other year. That problem is out of the way. For every year on out, the development process should be as normal (remember that they've always been riding with a PS2 game and a PSP game every year before this as well).

I agree with that for sure.

also it seems like the only sacrifice from the PS3 version that they had to spend less time on was graphics. They improved the lighting and models this year for the PS3, but they said they wanted to get the engine for the Vita up and running this year to look as close as the PS3 version first and foremost.

so like you said, next season they will just have to worry about porting features and upping the graphics alittle bit for the Vita version.

I'm not sure anything much was done to lighting this year.... from what Russell said.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Video - Developer Walkthrough (PS Vita)

Seriously, how many people NEED to play The Show on a 5 inch screen where the ball is a centimeter and your batter is 3 inches tall? I guess a few it will help out.

I really don't understand the priority on it tbh but I understand the need to sell Vita I guess just not with wasted priorities from the main PS3 team as there is already too much that needs to change in the Big version.

why buy a tablet when you could just get a laptop?

I understand not wanting to pay for it, especially since its basically right after Christmas. As soon as preorders started, I starting using trade-in credits towards Vita. It's almost paid for, I'll just need to buy games/accessories.

Like blzer I also travel alot and got tired of total hassle of hauling a PS3 around. The psp version was nearly unplayable compared to the ps3 version. In addition, having a 52 inch tv means nothing when the wife and kids would rather watch DWTS. So the vita (hopefully)will be a total replacement of the ps3.

I also travel alot for work. In a hotel about 2 nights a week. I need the Vita version bad, I am itching for it.
