Nice. I like that he was honest. Didn't try to say the vita version looked as good as the ps3. VITA pre ordered asap!!!
Vita version looks great...Glad I preordered both the PS3 version and the Vita version.

This gameplay footage isn't giving me a lot of confidence for Busch Stadium. Ugh.

Nice vid. As I said in the other thread, I'm a little disappointed that the full presentation package is lacking in the Vita version, but I understand why they did it like that - and Ramone summed up that reason pretty well. I think having a full portable franchise for the first time will help soften that blow a bit.
Will we be getting instant replays post-play, at least?

I think it's really smart to shorten the presentation, I mean corners had to be cut in some areas just because of limited development time. The fact that they put in the full feature set as the PS3 version and the sharing of Franchise if huge for me.
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......

Uh oh.. 2nd thoughts now ._. there better be a way to turn off those notifications on the top "Foul" etc and that we can turn off that fast play feature I'm seeing unless the guy playing is skipping it by pressing X either way the graphics look great... I'm expecting better when I play it myself in person
I've never used all the presentation features in the Show. I always play quick play and this is even quicker. I'm really looking forward to this.

To answer your original question, no, sorry.

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 had The Show 08 (I think it was 08) for the PSP and what I found was that RTS translates really well to the mobile platform.
I would usually play it during my subway commute or in dribs and drabs here and there and because of this, RTS was just perfect.
The long loading times involved with RTS kind of kill it for me on the PS3 because I feel like 30% of your gaming time is spent waiting around, but when you are playing only a couple of games at a time while mobile it seems to be less of an issue.
Anyway, the idea of being able to share thegamesaves is certainly compelling and I will consider getting a Vita because of this game alone.
Question: I assume this will require the PSN+ subscription to share saves? Or can saves be synched manually via USB or bluetooth or wifi or some other method?

As for the ball, I've actually found it a bit of a bummer that they increased it to softball size when it's in play so that you can see it. I understand it as an aid (much like the "OUT" and "FOUL" icons that will be popping up with the Vita version), but it would make more sense as an option.
Last but not least, I wouldn't doubt that Vita, Move, and 3D support are something that are enforced by SCEA San Diego's superiors. This isn't the only game out there getting that kind of treatment. Look at Killzone, Gran Turismo (no Move, but that wouldn't make sense lol), LittleBigPlanet, and probably/hopefully even Ratchet & Clank down the road. Sony games all work together in this regard, and they will continue to down the road.
Either way, as people are sold with a PS3 because of The Show, I'm sold with a Vita for the same reason.

Such a narrow-minded approach to "why have this when they could do this" doesn't fly well in reality. What would you rather have? A couple of touched up stadiums to your liking, or a larger fan-base, more revenue, and the guarantee of having the game out next year due to sales and response? While it's not necessarily one or the other, it's easier to see which one has the higher priority.
