Impact of PS VITA SliM

 

The outlook for current laptops is complicated, at the time the DS and PSP were released, cell phones could barely move a few gray pixels on the screen and therefore could not compete at the gaming level. Today smartphones and tablets dominate the market and capture the attention of casual gamers and those who have little time to play or like to play on their travels, and in that market the Vita seems to be a bit lost and Sony does not seem to know how to where to aim.


 


As a gaming device it is really impressive, but all the rest of its features can be found effortlessly and even better implemented (like the browser) on any cell phone. And that is where the user must ask himself if he wants to play games with greater depth of gameplay than Angry Birds, and also pay for them prices that are around 50 dollars (in the United States of course, in Argentina they are much more expensive).

 

The user must also ask himself if he is willing to pay for those games that for the same price he can find on his home console, which can be played on a large screen with more comfort.

 

It is difficult to predict the future but given the advancement of smartphones I believe that portable consoles are going to become a niche product, reserved for collectors and for the most rabid gamers like me who do not want to miss any games and who continue to prefer to use more buttons and sticks instead of virtual joysticks, that we like games that can last more than 10 hours and that require a lot of dedication, or that we like to face the shots against 16 other strangers throughout the night.



 

 If you are one of the latter, I can say that yes, buy the PS Vita but wait for the inevitable price reduction that will surely suffer in a few months, since for the current price and the amount of software available I consider it to be An excess.

 

However, I think that if Sony helps developers to implement what I call the "Nintendo philosophy", that is, to make specific games for Vita that make the most of it and that can only be played on it and that are also addictive, deep and fun, I'm almost sure the most demanding gamers will pay more attention than they have today. Those who are not willing to pay for a laptop that is more expensive than the PS3, plus the high costs of the cartridges and settle for the free or $ 1 games, keep going, the Vita is not for you.

    GPS The system has a GPS that allows us to mark our location and is used mainly by an application included in the console called «Near» that allows us to locate other users of the Vita within a radius of a little more than 1 km around, being able to also see their games and scores. While this application may seem interesting to connect with other players who play the same game as us, the interface and the use of Near is far from intuitive. I had to touch many buttons without achieving what I wanted and I looked for instructions on the web and they all say the same thing: it is poorly designed, it has no clear use and for now it only serves to check that the GPS is working well. Accelerometer   The motion sensor of the console is very precise and allows in conjunction with the cameras to make use of augmented reality to show us digital characters in real environments. In the video below I show you the free game "Reality Fighters", which not only allows us t...

  PlayStation Vita Slim: slimmer, cheaper and with a better battery The new PlayStation Vita Slim is thinner, lighter, but still thicker than a cell phone. Can it compete with a cell phone? Here our first look   Sony is trying to give the PlayStation Vita a new look with the new Slim version. The new video game device is already on sale in Japan, but it is finally making its way in other parts of the world.   The PlayStation Vita Slim, also known as Vita 2000, will be released in the UK on February 7 for an estimated price of £ 180, which is around £ 50 less than the original Vita when it first came on the market. At the moment, Sony has not confirmed a release date in the United States, but I would be surprised if readers in this country had to wait much longer.

Portable consoles have always been almost exclusive to Nintendo, but in that sense Sony stood up to it for years with the PSP and PlayStation Vita. Unfortunately, the latter has not been as successful outside of Japan, where it is still one of the best-selling second-hand consoles. The feeling of playing anywhere is indescribable, even for a while before sleeping. Sure you have done it sometime, right? Well, if you want to recover that feeling, we will tell you where and how to buy a PS Vita at the best price right now.   Finding a brand new PS Vita in the mainstream markets is not an easy task. This is due to the cessation of production of the console, so it can be said that there are already limited units spread around the world. But don't worry because at the moment the console works as well as the first day and has a catalog with the best PS Vita games such as the extraordinary Gravity Rush or Uncharted: The golden abyss. In any case, you can always download the free ga...
