Hello folks, so I just got a Vita at the weekend because I had a lot of trade-in credit at a UK store and they dropped their pre owned price by ÂŁ25 on Saturday.
So far I like the screen, the Dpad and the PSN offers on old PSP games. But in just about every other respect I prefer my 3DS. To the point where I found myself subconsciously reaching to the side of the console to adjust the 3D slider!
The main thing is that I much prefer the circle sliders to the Vita analog sticks. I was amazed when I played my old PSP mini of Pacman CE on the Vita at just how badly the analog sticks fair. They are actually worse then the old PSP nub for this game. Same goes for Whose That Flying (which if you haven't check out, please do. It is awesome. Apart from the IOS version). I never thought anything could be worse then the nub!
Also, the back touch pad is stupid, worst control input since the number key pads on the Atari Jaguar & Intellivision. To easy to touch by mistake, to in accurate to be useful.
Lastly, the Uncharted demo gave me a nostalgic feeling for the early days of the DS when devs shoe horned in questionable touch inputs just because they could.
So what do I intend to play on this beast? Easy: Tactics Ogre and Super Stardust Delta. Yay!
