You can run Playstation games via the PSP mode as well.Quote:

Better screen quality. If you have a PSP with TV out you can play on a CRT which makes that moot.
yeah I do just kinda thinking about it again. I just don't know if there's enough games that I'd want to play on vita to justify getting one.Quote:

If you like Japanese style games there's a good amount to choose from but otherwise probably not. All the games can be free :pirate:.Quote:

There are some games like Uncharted (with one of the most annoying boss "battle" systems I've seen) but Sony quickly dumped support for the system here.
I'm not a fan of visual novels or point and click adventure games. I'm guessing a lot of the "good games" never got translations.Quote:

PSP with tv out will play all PSP games without any issues.
Handheld Vita will support all functions in all Vita games properly.
Yeah Uncharted GA has an extremely stressful QTE system for boss battles, it's even stressful on handheld Vita :lol
Crushing difficulty is pretty crazy in that game, harder than any of the main series games (1-4) imo. But I never finished The Lost Legacy on PS4 so I'm not sure if GA is actually the hardest Uncharted :platinum:
A lot of games got English releases. I'd say look over a list somewhere or NPS and see what you think :shrug:.Quote:

Afaik there aren't any cheap 3rd party DS4 controllers that have all DS4 functionality (they're usually missing motion controls at least but some might not have touch pad/button either).
Anyway, if you have PS TV fully hacked etc plus DS4 it still isn't the same as playing on handheld Vita (I mean for the games that have special Vita functions).
I've had Vita for years but only got PS TV fairly recently (it's hacked). Some games are just a pain in the arse on PS TV :shrug:
Do you know which games? Most of what I've played or would play it doesn't matter so it's not something I've really thought about.Quote:

seen so things that did interest me so I might just browse around for prices.
Any game that has gyro controls, touch controls (front and rear) and also camera stuff in-game. Optional or otherwise.
Yes you can get around some issues, like some games you can disable touch controls... but believe me it just makes some games less enjoyable (Uncharted is a good example that uses everything).
I think Killzone Merc has touch controls that can be disabled on PS TV but I'm not sure if it can be done on Vita (I own the cart but don't recall being able to disable touch controls).
The above might be an example of a game you would want to play on PS TV and not Vita if you hate touch controls.
I was only thinking from Grouch's POV, that is; limited funds. Then from there trying to figure out what would be best.
If you want Vita games then I'd suggest a Vita handheld. It's cheaper for starters but also has all the hardware so no need to figure shit out for every game or buy controllers :shrug:
Vita doesn't even need a power supply, much like PSP. Just get a cheap USB charge cable, it will take longer to charge from like a PC or whatever though. Use a high rated USB wall wart if you have one.
Downside to Vita is that it will be used and stuff can wear out on handhelds :shrug:
Both of my Vita's are still 100% ok though (original non-3G and a late slim).
It isn't all about what games require special controls imo, it's more if you're going to play these games at least have something that can use all game functions.
Otherwise, if you're on a budget then emulate.
If you have extra money then get both PS TV and Vita. Also get PSP with TV out and PS3 with full CFW.
The PSTV isn't worth considering from that perspective; I wasn't suggesting that he should buy one.
well you weren't kidding prices on ebay wow the cheapest $110 + $12 s/h
I think I'll be stuck with my oldies for a good while longer :lol
Yeah I understood what you were saying.Quote:

I just wanted one for my collection but it isn't anything to rave about imo, I mean it's nice to play some Vita games on TV but it's kinda limited compared to the handhelds.
Already had a bunch of spare DS3 controllers and I have 2x DS4 controllers. Also USB adapters for PS1/2 controllers.
Have PS3's with full CFW, one is fat but the others are slim.
A few PSP's with tv out.
PS Classic.
A few PS1's with modchips.
And now exploited PS2's.
One working PS2 with modchip (pink slim).
Basically I had everything covered already it was just the novelty of being able to play some Vita titles on TV, even though there isn't the same flexibility with the controls :shrug:
Still need to get PSP Go but that's something that only seem to get more and more expensive here. The official dock is crazy hard to find and never cheap :lol
Import limitations from Japan don't help like with a lot of things atm. The odd seller here and there will use DHL but the cost is outrageous :rolleyes:

On a budget PS3 is still the best value imo.
Get a working fat or early slim and use full CFW.
If you're interested in PS1/2 I would look at MechaPwn exploit.
You'll need a DVD burner and blank CD/DVD media though.
Getting a working and hackable PS3 off FB/CL/wherever for $50 (give or take) is the best budget choice in the US right now. You might be able to get a Vita for around that price if you really search but with PS3 it's fairly easy for now.Quote:

I'm guessing PS TV is more expensive than that there now or am I wrong?
vita.Quote:
