Fair enough, but I remember hearing in the video someone saying the PSP isn't capable of doing what you're asking.

Yeah I gotcha, but thats just spin companies spout to justify buying a new version or whatever. Accessing the cloud isn't exactly some state of the art thing

I agree and I thought the same thing.

These are about the only thing these two platforms have in common. If you do a google search of PSP vs Vita, you'll find a few articles giving some details, but they really only scratch the surface.

To answer your original question, no, sorry.

The Show's team basically just sold a Vita for Sony, I was on the fence, but I travel a lot with my job and generally take my PS3 with me. This is going to be perfect for travelling and continuing my franchise. I can't wait......

Not for me. Vita is not a priority. I prefer playing it full blown on my 60 inches

I don't know how the process of development goes with a game available on different platforms in general, but if both PS3 and Vita versions are going to be developed by the same team anyways (regardless of A talents or B talents under the same team... I suppose some resources are shared as long as it's the same game), I tend to think it is a good move for SCEA to provide essentially the same game on PS3 and Vita.

Mainly that's because a lot of codes (like AI algorithm related stuff) probably can be shared by those platforms, so the devs don't have to divide as much time on these two platforms (now this year may have been different given the devs perhaps needed to learn Vita programming and write a lot of new codes for Vita). If SCEA went with an entirely different game with Vita, then I think the effort must have been even more divided, which basically leads to less time for other things...

Damnit. The more articles and videos I see about the The Show on Vita, the less patient I become.

I am disappointed that full presentation package did not make it in. I will wait until I see more videos to determine exactly how much presentation they cut out of the game. It has gone from a must buy to a wait and see.
