Kaz Hirai has announced that the PlayStation Vita will be available to purchase during the Christmas Season. The Vita will be available in two models Wifi and Wifi / 3G. In addition to revealing a release date, Harai also announced that retail price for the new portable console.
Just like ModNation Racers, an entirely new version of LittleBigPlanet will be heading to the PlayStation Vita. Once again, the Vita’s hardware will be used to make creating levels and playing the different levels much easier. The level toolbox has been updated and optimized for touch controls, so players can create levels with the use of their fingers.
ModNation Racers will be getting a new title, just for the PlayStation Vita. Announced at Sony’s E3 2011 Press Conference, the PlayStation Vita version of the game isn’t a port of the PS3 or PSP versions. It is entirely a new game, making use of the Vita’s unique feature set.
The rumor from last week has been confirmed – the NGP will be called the PlayStation Vita. Kaz Hirai announced the new name at Sony’s E3 2011 Press Conference in Los Angeles earlier today. The PlayStation Vita will include dual analogue sticks, two cameras and dual touch-screens.
No. Due to the rear touch pad, the PS Vita uses a embedded battery.
No, PS Vita does not have a video output feature.
The same PSN accounts will be available on PS Vita.
PS Suite content developed in the new game development environment provided for PS Suite can be enjoyed on PS Vita.
SCE with the support of third party developers and publishers have been offering select UMD titles on PlayStation Store and will continue our effort to deliver these content in the form of game medium for PS Vita going forward.
However, Sony will need to clear all copyright / legal related issues and due to this not all software titles will become available on PS Vita. Sony will announce details for each title when ready.
If you have existing UMD games that you want to play on the PS Vita, Sony are looking into the possibility of porting these across like the PSPgo Rewards programe. There are no plans on adding a UMD Reader to the PS Vita, however.
SCE plans to make those content available on PS Vita.
