Experience PSP1000, 2000,3000 and PSP Go, and today Sony finally officially released in Hong Kong, a new design of a new generation of portable game console PlayStation Vita, (hereinafter referred to as PSV), expected to be officially on sale on December 23 this year, is divided into Wi-Fi and 3G + Wi-Fi version, priced at $ 2,280 and $ 2,780, the price is not expensive. Whether this new Sony portable game console What is so special? Before the official release, I bring you to the site reveals the story behind this machine is the true face of Lushan.
Mans big but feel good
PSV as the style of Sony's new portable game consoles, compared with the previous the PSP, the largest, respectively, a total of three: 5-inch OLED touch screen machine back there are more than halfway into the TouchPad supports multi-touch ; the second joined the rear and front lens; while the third is officially abandoned the UMD game discs instead of using the PS Vita game cards, and storage media memory card, but is no longer a Memory Stick but a much smaller volume of dedicated memory card (design and M2 card is very similar). Hardware using the ARM Cortex-A9 core processor, 512 MB DRAMs, 128MB graphics memory and 4-core SGX543MP4 + image processing core, with such a powerful specification, can be expected that the image quality of mobile games will be dramatically . In addition, PSV has a greater volume than the PSP, but even if so, get in the hands of play, the touch than the PSP is good, and the body is very light, the thickness can be considered moderate, even play games for a long time will not feel tired hands.
Detailed analysis of the text will be in the evaluation PSV 5 inch 960 x 544 resolution OLED screen (after), so I first to comment on It is located in the back of the TouchPad, this area is very large touchpad, support multi-touch , convenient to carry out different functions in different games, including: rotate the game world point of view, enlarge / shrink the screen display, and even resorted to different gestures "super-will" trick! However, because this design is quite revolutionary (at least on Sony's portable game consoles), so the early use very accustomed to, really need time to familiarize themselves with the application. Temporary initial launch over a dozen games, many games have applied this The TouchPad, including: Dynasty Warriors NEXT "," DISGAEA3 RETURN (tentative name) "and so on, but game development company is not blindly use the touch screen and This TouchPad, like "The ULTIMATE MARVEL VS. the CAPCOM 3 is a fighting game, go back to the traditional four-way controller, joystick, and the upper-right corner of the four traditional PlayStation function keys to control the role, so we do not have to worry too much . Also worth mentioning is that some games will also support dynamic manipulation (Motion Control) to play the game, so after using the PSV play the game, no longer necessarily are really flat holding a hand-held game consoles, but at any time it seems iPhone and the iPad as tilting body to control the role of the forward direction, very fun.
Although the body is larger than the PSP, but PSV feel in our hands, but than the former.
The fuselage on the left still has the cross direction and control stick, while the direction by adding a new PlayStation button, I believe should be used as a return to the main interface used.
The body the right of retained four PlayStation traditional function keys below on new entrants to the a manipulation rocker, I believe the future play of the game "Winning Eleven" series, the gameplay will be more, but closer to PS2 feeling.
Slot machine top, has a volume control key, unknown purpose (it is estimated that insert a 3G SIM card?) PS Vita, game card slot and open the key, and metal machine side, I feel quite noble.
As for the machine at the end, it has a USB slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, and location next to the headphone jack can be found in a protective cover to protect the slot, which is insert the memory card location.
Machine back almost 3/4 part of this support multi-touch TouchPad occupy manipulation on the habits takes time.
Machine back at the top with the lens, 300,000 pixels, also supports shooting up to 60fps VGA resolution or 120fps QVGA resolution movie.
Body in front of function keys side also has a front lens, the same pixels and quality of the back lens.
5 "OLED screen quality of super-classes
PSV in addition to the manipulation on the PSP generation aircraft models are also different, the screen can also be promoted, not only PSV 5 inches by 4.3 inches in the past, the resolution also raised to 960 x 544 resolution, support 24-bit color, screen type also general LCD screen into the PSV OLED screen, not only have more energy-efficient features, shown in color, detail, layering and the viewing angle is also a substantial upgrade. At a press conference, I personally appreciate the screen quality is indeed very high detailed and high even film the female angle of the hair clearly visible, fast approaching the present, many have a high quality screen smartphone is expected to playing computer visual enjoyment, almost comparable to and even beyond the quality of the PS2!
OLED screen quality is very good, to appreciate first-class film effects! OLED screen's viewing angle is very high, even from the side to enjoy the screen, color screen and will not be affected.
The new interface design
In addition to the external body design, Sony is also a PSV "inner beauty" the new building, to make it inside and out with any generation of the PSP clearly separated, the most obvious is its interface, in order more easily to manipulation of the touch mode, all functions into a ball floating on the screen, so that users can be as smart phones like, click to enter the function, do not seem to PSP or PS3, you need to use The arrow keys left and right move, we can find functions. In addition, the PSV has a 4-core processing power, it is natural to support multi-tasking, so that users can use different functions, while at the same time the functions performed by the icon will be displayed in the center of the top of the screen. Related functions to completely shut down, as long as the interface of the function of the page icon at the upper right corner of the screen upper right to the left next to pull, you can turn it off, very convenient!
All functions into a floating balls, very interesting.
Welcome game teaches you to manipulate
Said so much about PSV operation, there may be some players still how to manipulate the video game of this new design actually feel a loss, Sony also understand that this difficulties, so the machine joined the series of "Welcome Games playing to strike all game, you will fully understand all body manipulation and functional usage, very considerate it!
Headphone volume output is generally
Starting from the first generation PSP, Sony has more than this portable game console positioned for a pure gaming platform, but to the home as a portable entertainment platform, so in addition to playing games, Sony also attaches great importance to multimedia enjoyment, including watching movies and music. Whether the effect of PSV on the sound quality be? I took a "pocket" Shure 535 and the UE TF10pro to do an audition, PSV's output is not enough, almost raised to 80% in order to meet, if put on the headphones provided by the Sony site, its on to be 100% full in order to hear it clearly. The lack of volume output, then the sound quality so what? Basically I did not have any expectations, because the PSP is used to listen to songs lose a lot of detail, watching movies and playing computer games was not so obvious, to put The PSV him is the same, its tuning Zhuzhong the explosive power, bass and treble over-emphasized, listening to music makes one feel a bit tired, although the machine balancer, but in fact I have tried to no one to my taste, anti it is more pleasing to the ear.
Bring their own Shure SE535 and UE TF10 pro for testing.
I like the music player interface, with the exception of PSV Load into the album cover art is not fast enough.

That indeed, Sony launched the PSV in the today's generation, compared to the launch of PSP in the year 2004, faced an even greater challenge, because today Sony faces competition, not just Nintendo of these traditional hand-held game console makers, but also include things like the Apple Sony Ericsson smart phone makers, especially Apple's iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch has become many people took the daily play of portable game consoles, Sony has today announced a $ 2,280 (Wi-Fi version) and $ 2,780 (3G + Wi-Fi version) December 23 Asian Games Exhibition Opening the first day of the launch of the PSV, I feel very aggressive. Indeed, the specification is so high, plus the gorgeous screen, a single visual enjoyment that appreciate films have been better than the iPhone, iPod Touch, plus I believe the future Sony will launch a more welcomed by the players of the game, I imagine to take PSV play a 3G network the MHP "(if such a day), it is really very cool!
