It is free roam, but controls stops you from it. You CAN NOT attack while you are moving around. You need to find monsters to attack. It's not 100% free roam like diablo and those kind of games.
Oh and look at the god of war ghost of Sparta, and compare that with god of war 2. I really don't like art style of god of war 2. Way different than psp god of war games and gow3

Yeah read all of them. I personally think LBP karting vita is just a rumor.
PSAS devs did say "maybe" for the vita version so hopefully we will see some infos about it later this year

Actually, shadow guardian, apart from being a just plain boring game, had graphics that *came fairly close* (in character models and, to an extent, envoronments, but nowhere near the same level of lighting) to this, at least on my old retina touch. But I never finished it, it was the worst 1 gb of space ever wasted (besides silent ops)

But I have a question: how long did the story mode last for uncharted on the vita? In fact, what's the average play time you get for the $$? How long is single player supposed to last for resistance?

It's actually longer than I thought it would be. It's about 10-11ish hours to play through the campaign on normal- not counting the time it takes to collect all the treasures and solve all the "mysteries" (charcoal rubbing puzzles, photos, etc.), get the trophies, and collect all the bounties. I think it's actually longer than Uncharted 3- though it's not as varied (in terms of environment).

I don't think it's super linear, but when it comes to climbing walls, the paths are fairly linear (though there are secret paths which take you to hidden treasure).

The AI is fairly good (unless you play on very easy)- they recently updated it because the crushing (very hard mode) AI was really hard at some parts.

The only bad thing I can think of in this game is the bounty system (gggrrrrrr.....).


As for the Vita's battery, I have my Vita set to medium brightness (the default I believe), wifi always on, and volume normally at full- and I get about 4-5 hours of playtime on it playing graphically intensive games like Uncharted.

Playing less graphically intensive games (like Plants Vs. Zombies)/apps I tend to get around 7-10 hours. Has a fairly good battery life, especially compared to my iPod touch when playing graphically intensive games like Infinity Blade (about 2-3 hours). It also charges relatively quick- about 1.5-2 hours.

PS Vita and Carmelita Revealed for Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

[matthewwhatever]

I came here to post the exact same thing. Ah well...it's great news! The more games that have cross-save capability, the better. I may be in a minority, but I think that if Sony can overwhelm people with good Vita games -- especially good Vita games that are basically PS3 quality -- then a price drop suddenly isn't so essential to the platform's viability...

Please Sony... Take my money!

Can't wait for a release date for this!

*EDIT*

Side question - been in the mood for a racing game. Anyone pick up F1 2011? If so, any opinions?

By full customization, you mean moving the bits where you want? If so, click the advanced button to rearrange them accordingly.

I feel like I'm having déjà vu. I happened to get the Sega Dreamcast in its second year for Christmas and like a month later I found out it was discontinued in a network news broadcast. So much doom and gloom press around it. Anyone think it's going to turn around soon?
