PlayStation Vita Prototype System Showcased By New Video

PlayStation Vita

The PlayStation Vita console is far from being the more successful PlayStation console released by Sony, mostly due to the very low support by big developers and publishers. With Sony itself defining the system as a legacy system, at least in the West, it seems like the console won’t be receiving any big release from Western developers. Still, the console is a very good handheld, with more than a few good high profile games as well as several indie games having been released since its launch in all regions

If you’re among those who have purchased the console and are interesting in how it evolved from its initial  development stages, you may be interested in a new video which has been shared online a few hours ago by AssemblerGames. The video showcases a PlayStation Vita prototype system which looks quite different from the final version, with a design that closely resembles the PSP Go one. According to the video, the PlayStation Vita prototype system also featured an SD card slot which allowed the use of regular SD cards instead of the proprietary Sony memory cards as well as several other nice features that were later removed from the final version of the console. You can take a look at the video right below.

The PlayStation Vita has been originally announced at the PlayStation Meeting 2011 with the Next Generation Portable codename. The console received its final name during E3 2011, with Sony revealing all the details on the console, pricing and more.

The original PlayStation Vita model released back in 2012 isn’t the only model that’s been made available in all regions. A second model, the PlayStation Vita 2000, coming with slightly different dimensions, improved battery life, shorter rear touchpad width, a microUSB port and an LCD screen in place of the OLED screen of the original model, has been released a while back.

Another version of the PlayStation Vita system has also been released recently in the West. The PlayStation TV allows players to play PlayStation Vita games as well as compatible PSP and PlayStation classic games on a TV screen as well as play PlayStation 4 titles through the Remote Play feature. Originally the PlayStation Vita TV only supported the Dual Shock 3 controller but a later patch added Dual Shock 4 compatibility, making the PlayStation Vita TV an even better solution for Remote Play.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
