Hey guys, this is Austin and today I’m here
with a demo of gameplay
on the PlayStation Vita.
The first game we’ll be taking a look at
is
Uncharted: Golden Abyss.
As the main launch title Sony is promoting,
the game has some very nice graphics.
It’s not as good as Uncharted
on the PS3 but for a handheld console short
of a few low resolution
textures it looks good and runs smoothly.
What really sets Uncharted
apart are the controls.
In addition to the normal physical controls
which work similarly to the PS3 controller
it also uses all the other
methods that the Vita has.
There’s the touchscreen which you can use
for quicktime events such as clearing a path
or tracing a line for
Drake to follow.
The rear touch panel can also be used for
zooming in
the scope of your rifle which actually works
really well and finally
when aiming you can tilt the Vita to get your
shot lined up nicely.
While Uncharted isn’t a hands down amazing
game it definitely looks
good and it uses the Vita controls well.
The next game is Little Deviants.
This game is mostly known for using the rear
touch panel to be able to push
the ground up to roll your character around
and while it’s a very cool
tech demo it doesn’t really work as well
as I had hoped.
It’s hard to know
exactly where your finger is on the backside
of the Vita so the controls
are a bit shaky.
On the upside the game is vibrant and it also
runs very
smoothly, something I can say about every
Vita game I’ve tried so far.
The last game and my favorite launch title
so far is Super Stardust Delta.
This is a download only game in the PlayStation
Store for $10 and it’s a
ton of fun.
It’s a twin stick spaceship shooter on a
3D world like in Super
Mario Galaxy where you have to avoid being
hit by the many obstacles and enemies
while blowing up as much as you can.
Combined with the Vita’s fantastic OLED
screen and the super smooth gameplay it all
adds up to an experience that
really highlights what the Vita is capable
of.
