Llamasoft does TxK for Sony Vita

[PVB]

Feature request: Rotary controller support



And it's llooking more and more llovely in every new video.

Is there any available for what ? ( the controller )

Was there any for the Jag?

Not officially for the Jag, but lots of fan-made versions.

60 second one http://minotaurproject.co.uk/YakImages/txk60test.mp4

Oh my!

[merman]

Excellent!

[defsdoor]

That looks fucking awesome.

I especially love the way the first web breaks up. Wish I had a Vita

[Misfit]

Wow. That is beautiful.

My Vita is ready and my PS4 will arrive when this does on it (as in no hurry to go PS4). Can just imagine it on the projector....

[fog]

So anyone wanting to play TxK or other Vita titles on their TV (or projector )? PS Vita TV?

PS Vita TV launches in Japan on November 14 for 9,954 yen (plus tax) or $100.

Interesting.

At first I thought it was a device to get your Vita onto the TV, but I actually think it's essentially a Vita without a screen with TV out. It will also stream PS4 stuff to another TV and run TV services.

Sounds good. But I'm sure it's going to confuse a lot of people!

[Misfit]

Also announced a new slimmer, lighter Vita. Wifi only and LCD not OLED screen. But that's ok as it comes in different colours...

[Deckard]

So can someone paraphrase what it does ? And presumably LCD aint as good as OLED ?

I haven't seen anything detailed enough to actually know what the Vita TV does.

Both OLED and LCD have pros and cons really. Pretty sure they'll use a good panel and it will look great. But the OLED display on the Vita is beautiful and LCD doesn't have that glow and richness of colour.

I'm sure there will be plenty of side by side comparisons as soon as it launches.

The announcement certainly doesn't make me want to 'upgrade'

Does it mean the "old" Vita will drop in price or will they manufacture it any more once this new one comes out.

I would imagine the old one will cease production and there may be some deals on it as retailers clear stock.

It's already available for £140 at Shopto.net

Or you can get it on Amazon.de with an 8GB card and the 10 game megapack (to download) for about £150 delivered (£169 on amzon uk and others in UK):

Quite a few of the games are worth having especially Wipeout and Little Big Planet.

If they can get it in at under £100 I'll having one of those Vita TV things for my upstairs "office".

They say it's the equivalent of $100 US in Japan, which based on the exchange US/UK exchange rates with a little rip-off Britain suggests a price of £100 to me...

$100 is actually around £64. If you add VAT to that it's £77, so I'd hope they could bring it over at £79.99 which would probably be quite appealing to me. Of course based on the lengths I went to to play T3k I doubt £100 quid will stop me getting TxK onto the bg screen...

The Vita TV sounds like Sony's answer to Apple TV and the growing number of Android based consoles like Ouya. It will be interesting to see what market they are targeting. It's a completely different approach. Either a great idea or it will bomb hard. I've no idea.

If nothing else it could generate a lot more Vita software and expand the potential market for Vita devs which is always welcome.

I could actually see prices rise for the OLED version as they did for the old backwards compatible PS3 when it was replaced. Get an OLED version over the new one if you can. The screen is amazing and the other changes aren't worth anything.
