    I'm just seeing serious compression boxes, like the videos are highly compressed to shrink their file size.

    Not a deal breaker, but it does detract from the visuals.

    Perhaps.

    Let me know your impression on MP. I'm particularly interested to know if weapon switching is problematic with the method they've gone with.

    I don't think my question from a little bit ago got answered, so I'll just ask again: Is there an option to move the on screen buttons like the grenade to physical buttons in Restistance?

    Also, what is the weapon switching method that they use?

    From what I remember in the demo there is no way to moove the on-screen buttons.

    To select between all your weapons you hold triangle and tap on the weapon or use the left stick. to cycle between your current and previously equipped weapon press triangle.

    No they're like that on the retail copy too. I wonder if they did it on purpose to make the videos look a certain way...

    I think sharing the PSN would be a problem. I thought your psn was linked to a single vita. You might be better off making one for him. If you were going to do that so he can get all the digital downloads you have I think you can download content on to up to 5 vitas so I think you could do that... Anyways what games and or accessories are you getting him? :D

    I've set him up under my PSN (his own memory card) and so far it's been fine. I've downloaded some of my PSN purchases and they download fine.

    My plan is to only allow wi-fi access for when I have to do updates or download a new PSN purchase for me. Other than that, no trophies, friends, etc.

    I know my card games might encounter some trophy issues, but I'm not too concerned with those at this point. I also realize that I really can't play against him on anything which is also fine. Wonder if Ad-hoc play works though. Guess I'll find that out...

    Edit: There are also rumors going on around the internet about PS+ getting a huge revamp and to subscribe before Monday. Nobody is sure of what exactly the changes will be and whether if Vita owners will be getting more deals yet though.

    I <3 my Vita. It's on it's way to being just as awesome as my PSP (which despite the naysayers was freaking awesome).

    Well, i just got round to playing through the Resistance demo... There is NO WAY i'm laying out £40 for that! It deserved low scores imo... In brief, the ai is terrible/non-existant. The guns sound s**t.... Tattatatatatatatatatatatatata.... Really the most bland sounding, uninspiring, weak guns. My head is jarred with that annoying tat sound. Another thing, the enemies all seem to have 1 'death animation' which seems to be a swivel then fall to the floor.... For me, very poor effort - Sony should have ensured they secured a decent developer to do, not just the resistance series justice, but also the Vita justice

    I like the controls, thought that aspect worked well. So i assume Once you eliminate the dire story and enemy AI, the multiplayer could be decent.

    Can't believe all the hate on resistance! It's such a good game! People have give it a chance. Hated the reviews because everyone wanted a $60 ps3 quality game with amazing graphics that we see on consoles squeezed into a 4GB package. Its not possible, at least right now. The Vita is a couple months into the market. Remember when the xbox and ps3 just game out? Most of those games looked like crud. Now look at them! Battlefield, Skyrim, Halo 4, Borderlands 2, and even call of duty looks great. If we don't support the console now we will never get the chance to see titles like that.

    No, I think it was the developer that was the problem. It's not the vita, it certainly has the hardware to run a much better looking game. It's not the price, they're charging $40 vs $60. Consider that nova 3 is more polished graphically and costs $6. It's certainly not the 4 gb size, either. Hate to beat a very, very dead horse but nova 3 is 1.9 gb...

    I really hope cod is far more polished and they take their time to do so, maybe resistance was rushed. Hopefully it'll feature full-on multiplayer with a huge selection of guns, just like the console and pc versions.

    Btw ac for vita looks nice :D

    I will agree that it may have been rushed but I think Nova 3 is garbage compared to resistance. I actually deleted it today and I didn't eve need the space. As for Cod I'm hoping for cross-platform multiplayer for multiplayer. Although I think it was confirmed it was going to be a different game. Hell I would take a port of WaW over anything

    Well nova 3 does not have intel, upgrade for guns, meele attack.
    Sure mutiplayer is bigger and more but it's really laggy.
    I personally say nova 3 is boring. Sure it looks nice but I playing resistance way more than I did with nova 3.
    Oh well and graphics ARE nice. First level seems kinda bad but when as you go on, it gets better. Mines, and conversion center is my fav stages. Lots of fun and it looks amazing

    I'm actually really enjoying Resistance so far. I think for me personally, I took note of the negative reviews and then went into the game with a reduced expectation... it also helped that I only paid £18 for it too (traded in MvC, the only Vita game I regretted purchasing).

    Laggy probably cause you're using an a4. And the game was rushed.

    Any more info on that ac game besides those screenshots? I'm more interested in that, actually, than any cod port. Will be interesting to see how it translates to mobile.
