Do you think that the PS Vita can play PS3 titles comming from the release of E3???

**Darkman-PSG** · 08-16-2011,03:59 PM

I seen some ps3 games being ported over to the PS Vita but do you think that it is capable of playing some ps3 games?
I mean cmon if I am going to shell out 250-300 on one of these things it better do alot
I read somewhere that it can act like a ps3 playing some games. Hopefully it will have an online just like the ps3 does.

Owning a psp that can play (GBA,SNES,N64,Atari,NES,PS1,NEO-GEO) and the list goes on I am expecting alot out of this. What do you guys think?

No, although it's specifications are nice, it will not be playing PS3 games. The only way you could pull that off is if you redeveloped an entire PS3 game so it runs natively on the Vita, had lower a polygon count and rendered at a lower resolution.

As indirect said the poly count for game characters is high as opposed to other systems because the PS3 uses bluray and this calls for high quality play back. The Vita couldn't simply handle that as the RAM has been supposedly been cut in half and wont be able to support it. Being an animator normal systems are limited to a poly count 4K where as the PS3 is concerned the poly count simply can't be handled by other systems, so no i don't think that PS Vita will be getting a port of PS3 games, although i do see a possibility of Vita games getting ported to the PS3 and PSP games getting completely remastered for the PS3. Hope that answers your questions.

And don't forget possible remakes of PS2 games remastered or emulated on it

This is not accurate. High poly counts are the result of a fast graphics chip and the amount of RAM. The Blu-Ray drive has nothing to do with this. A good example of this is in PC gaming. PC games have better visuals and still ship on DVD for the most part. The only thing a Blu-Ray drive brings to the table is the ability to store high quality video. So your cut scenes will look better.

If the PS3 can't emulate the PS2, then I doubt the PS Vita will be able to. Games will have to be remastered.

I am sure that some titles like uncharted and little big planet and little deviants will be remastered for the PS3, seeing as the other Uncharted's were for the PS3 it only makes sense.

Thanks so much for the replies I will be getting one of these!

But there will be carbon copies of PS3 games which will allow content transfer and cross-platform multiplayer so I guess they can be counted as PS3 games.

They both have different architectures so the answer is absolutely no. We can see the repacks just like HD Playstation 2 games on Playstation 3 now.
