Anyone else really worried about PS Vita and the community?

Archive: 25 posts


I know I am.

I was pretty excited about the Vita announcement last night (and more so for LBP Vita) but then something hit me.

Once this comes out, people are going to want to play the game with more tools. Not to mention the fact that it has multiplayer, and you can take it on the go.

I think it's going to split the community right down the middle.

I agree with you. I'm excited, but I wish that LBP 2 still has value after LBP Vita comes out. I didn't really think LBP 2 could be handled by a portable system.2011-06-08 01:23:00

I'll tell ya one thing. There's no way I'm ever going to create solely on a handheld. There's just no way. The only way I'll even buy vita, and lbp for it, is if the vita lbp, and lbp2 have compatible create. Just can't see why anyone would want to create on a little tiny screen, rather than a great big HD. It's a no brainier for me. I guess if it splits the community, so be it.2011-06-08 02:07:00

In the news and media thread "LBP confirmed for PSV" in the OP a post quotes from valmassois post
EDIT: I think i read it wrong

PSV to PS3 integration, costumes will be synchronizable

No, i am not worryed at all. I think it could actualy bring the PSP and LBP from PS3 together, or who ever gets it.

@smasher not everyone has a huge HD TV, but usualy a TV is bigger then a handheld. I dont think that the size matters, but thats just me.

I really wasn't talking about anybody else. I was talking about me. I was just saying, to me size matters. I like handhelds and all, but it's just not the same. I can't see myself ditching lbp2 for a handheld. I think plenty of people feel the same as me. Handhelds are no substitute for a full blown gaming console, and I only really use em on the road, so i can't see myself sitting around my house playing a handheld.

Well... the name sure doesn't sound very imposing. Isn't it really just a slightly fancier version of the PSP? As far as I know, the PSP didn't split the community so I certainly don't think this runs the risk of doing so. Besides, most of the hardcore and really good creators will likely prefer to keep creating on larger TV screens to get better detail etc. in their levels. I really don't think you have anything to worry about from this little guy. 2011-06-08 04:44:00

Getting worried of the possibility of splitting the Portable LBP community due to the release of a new game? Sounds all too familiar.2011-06-08 04:54:00

The reason why I'm going to stick with the PS3, most likely has a higher thermo capacity. I dream big, and I dunno if they'll all fit into a handheld. Still, PSV looks awesome, and with the logic toolset, you could use it as a portable fully functional testing machine for LBP2 (among many other things).2011-06-08 05:10:00

I'm thinking we'll be able to play with LBP2 friends while playing LBPV. from what i understand LBPV
is LBP2 with some small upgrades and if they make PSV use the Same PSN as PS3 then it's possible.
i mean we have to wait to see for sure but I'm gonna guess that's how it will work.

And if I'm right then the community will be fine as we will all be playing the same levels
(well we may not be able to play the story modes together but we'll see)
and we'll be still playing together no matter what system of the two we use... *mew

I hope the features are synced with the vita version. There is infinite amount of enhancement MM can make to LBP2 (Heck, I even remember them mentioning they didn't want to release LBP2, but keep patching LBP1), and I hope the patches go in sync. What I worry is them not caring to bring new stuff into LBP2 anymore.2011-06-08 12:09:00

I don't think PSV will be all that much less thermo than PS3. The hardware is incredibly powerful (not a fancy PSP, this thing is 10x the power) plus they know everyone is using a 5" screen, all the assets can be scaled down so that they take less memory. I saw one interview that said there was almost no performance decrease after scaling things down.

I can't imagine that LBP2 levels will be unplayable on PSV, they should all play out identically. Just as LBP levels work in LBP2. Now whether or not you can make PSV levels available on PS3 is less likely. The PSV has hardware (touch front and back) that PS3 will not support, however I would think that a level that dose not include unsupported features should be able to work.

They did confirm that the same PSN account you already have will still be used so all your friends will still be there. And other games announced cross platform multiplayer, cross platform game saves and such so why LBP can't do the same I don't know. Seems like a no brianer to be.

When the Vita comes out, there should be compacity, like you can play Vita levels on the ps3, but only if you have a vita, and connect it to the ps3. So users don't have to play on a small handheld screen.2011-06-17 04:51:00

That might work if you had two touch screens, motion sensing and a camera on your television set.

LBP Vita is made by a completely different studio than LBP 1 and 2. MM is gonna keep they're focus on the console.

I meant use the Vita as a controller. -_-

It would seem they are useing the LBP2 engine, with reduced assets, new story mode levels, and a few new create features to take advantage of the PSV tech.2011-06-19 02:59:00

Oh, I get it. But that could become a bit complex, and there wouldn't be much point in having a second screen as you'd have to keep looking from the big screen to the small scren when it comes to using a touch screen.

They're seperate accsessories* though. Anyway, I'm not sure if I've seen someone with a touch screen on their television set yet, let alone two.

*I'm not sure if I spelled that right... :S

Actually, you could use the move, press the move button for front touch, and T for back. It would be almost the same thing.2011-06-19 13:23:00

The Sixaxis isn't a separate accessory that gives people even more reason to buy an Eye.

Same here. I'm hoping I can use it to begin levels in a long car journey or something, get home, put it on the PS3 and make carry on from there. I can't see how it'd split the community to be honest, if there are some levels that people can't play they won't be able to play them. Oh well. I doubt many people will turn soley to LBP on the Vita, no matter how good it is.

Oh, and I thought a sequel to LBP1 would split the community. How wrong I was.

I wouldn't worry much. They know the community is what makes LBP great, despite of all its flaws. What I see in the trailer was a "light" version of LBP2, with touch features but less powerful in thermo. I do think that touchscreen gameplay looks fun, but in the context of a handheld console. Even if it manages to retain all of LBP2's improvements like logic tools and power-ups, it'll never be as capable as his PS3 cousin.

LPBV will most probably be the game that'll make me buy a Vita, but never to replace LBP2. And that's because even though I could use some doses of pocket-sized LBP2 now and then when I'm travelling or when my family drags me away from TV by my heels, the real stuff always has and always will happen in the PS3 side of the community.

Im willing to bet that any PSV levels will be PSV only, but, any of the PS3 levels can be played on the PS3 or vita2011-06-23 03:16:00
