Uncharted: Golden Abyss – Preview

Following in the footsteps of it’s predecessors, Uncharted: Golden Abyss follows Nathan Drake as he tries to unravel the mysteries of a secret ancient Spanish sect that holds the truth behind the 400 year old massacre of a Spanish Expedition. Nathan finds himself stuck between two rivals, Jason Dante and Marisa Chase. Jason is an old friend of Nathan’s while Marisa is the relative of a famous archeologist who has just so happened to disappear. From dangerous river basins and undiscovered temples to the caverns of Central America, Nathan is in search for the legendary lost city. However, this adventure pushes Nathan to very edge of the Golden Abyss.

The Playstation Vita’s OLED Screen really brings the cinematic experience of Uncharted: Golden Abyss to the player and allows them to get absorbed in the amazing story. The PS Vita’s controls allow for intuitive, instinctive, and immersive gameplay. Touch, steer, tilt, and press to jump, swing, snipe, and guide Nathan on his adventures. The PS Vita allows gamers to choose between traditional controls (Dualstick Analog + Buttons) and the interactive Playstation Vita features.

Wipeout 2048 – Preview

Wipeout is one of the most famous franchise in the world of video games. Born in 1995 on PlayStation, thanks to the success the brand has benefited from many followed landed on most consoles. The chapter in the works of PlayStation Vita is the ninth game of the brand, and is, along with Uncharted and Resistance, one of the most well known titles of the entire line-up for the launch of PS Vita.

Wipeout 2048 is going to act as a prequel to the very first chapter released for the PlayStation. The tracks on which we find ourselves running at idle speed in this chapter are less artificial than the previous episodes. The tracks Wipeout 2048 have been improved and improvised, as if to emphasize the illegality of the races in which we find ourselves taking part, and all set in a futuristic New York.

A feature of Sony’s new console that the title will take advantage of is the cross-platform gaming between PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3. In other words, during the multiplayer matches each player has a goal to accommodate known only to him, for example, will be required to perform a number of “kills” during the game, make a specific stunt at a precise point of the track , take a sequence of bonuses or even get to the finish in a certain position is not said to be the first. This diversity of objectives will ensure that each player will adopt a particular strategy during the race, not just diversifying the games and making the whole damn funny.

As always along the tracks will find power-ups that will allow us both to gain more speed to hit the opponents to make him lose control, but compared to the past was reserved for the use of an eye shield, which can be activated and deactivated at will to the player by delegating the administration of its charge level during the race.

At the last E3, Wipeout 2048 was shown in a more radiant than ever fashion and is definitely one of the important first generation games able to demonstrate the technical potential of PS Vita. Wipeout 2048 seems to preserve the high quality that this saga has taught us over the course of several years while providing elements so far unused, from what you have seen during E3.

PS Vita – 5 Awesome Features and 5 Questionable Features

PS Vita Features

Playstation Vita Features

Awesome Features:

#1: Cross-platform Multiplayer With PlayStation 3
Players will be able to interact with each other on totally different consoles. Each person will need a copy of the game, but being able to play against or with somebody using a Play Station 3 from your PS Vita will be a huge feature. Forget about split-screen or using 2 TVs and Consoles non-sense. Now you can play while you are on the go with others who are sitting at home with their PS3s!

#2: Augmented Reality
Little Deviants is a Playstation Vita game that has an AR mode that has the player blasting at on-screen characters. It’s cute and the Augmented Reality overlay is rapid and responsive. This could be the next big segment in mobile gaming. Sony is certainly making it a priority feature for the Vita.

#3: Cross-platform Game Resume On PS3
Cross-Platform again?! No, this is definitely not the same as number 1 in our list. This is where you could be playing a game such as Ruin on Playstation 3 or PS Vita, make a save, and then resume playing the game on the other console. How cool is that?

Ruin, along with other games, will store your saved games on the “Cloud”. You can access these saves anywhere that has an internet connect. This is just the beginning of taking advantage of cloud services in new ways. Expect Sony to innovate and improve on this for the PS Vita

#4: Beautiful Looking Graphics and Games
The cross-platform games like Ruin and WipeOut 2048 look even sharper on the PS Vita than on an HDTV, but that’s to be expected with a smaller, crisp screen. One of the reps showing off Little Big Planet on the Playstation Vita told us Sony played around with different screen sizes, and eventually landed on the size because it just felt the best — the Vita probably could have been made smaller.

#5: Custom Control Schemes
Calling the PS Vita featured-packed is an understatement. In fact, it’s packed with so many controls from the traditional buttons and dual analogs to the touchscreen and rear touchpad to the gyroscope and accelerometer and AR cameras, it’s almost too feature-rich. That’s a lot to keep track of.

At times we weren’t sure when we needed to use the touchscreen, the touchpad or just the regular buttons. In LittleBigPlanet for the PS Vita, there are little cues that tell you when to use the touchscreen and when to tilt the device, but we still felt confused at times. (Of course, we only had a short amount of time to play it.)
