Next PS Vita 'could be thinner', says designer

January 25th, 2012, 02:45 Posted By: wraggster

PS Vita (and Sony Walkman) designer Takashi Sogabe has told CVG that he'd like to make future PS Vita iterations thinner than the launch model.
Speaking in a round-table interview at Sony Computer Entertainment's Japanese HQ last month, Sogabe, who runs the Corporate Design Centre, also said he'd wanted to use metal rather than plastic materials when developing the system."Speaking not only about the PS Vita, we always have a battle between engineers and designers. The original design of the PS Vita, for example, was very much thinner than the current retail product," he said. "From a designer's point of view, thinner is better-looking, but the engineers wanted to put all the features in.
"Maybe it will become thinner in the future, but the engineers would have to come up with a means to do that. The main effort for me was to make this product happen. The buttons and analogue sticks were perhaps not in the best position from a design point of view, but we felt they were the best solution from a publisher's point of view.
"As a designer, I wanted to use metal rather than plastic," he added, "but because there are a lot of antennae in the body, we couldn't use metal."
You can read the full interview with Sogabe here, in which he also discusses the challenges involved in designing Vita's dual analogue sticks.
Are you picking up a Vita at launch and if so, which model are you going to plump for? Cast your eyes over our PS Vita review, if you haven't already, and don't forget the PS Vita release dateis less than a month away now.

Vita Rooms tour rolls on to Glasgow

January 25th, 2012, 01:59 Posted By: wraggster

Sony Computer Entertainment UK has opened a new Vita showcase in Glasgow, allowing consumers to try up the upcoming handheld.
The Glasgow event is part of the Vita Rooms tour, which creates temporary venues where gamers can learn more about PlayStation Vita and its games, as well as getting hands-on time.
The Glasgow Vita Rooms will be open from January 23rd to January 29th, before the tour moves to London. The capital city venue will open on February 16th and remain open until Vita's UK launch day, February 22nd.
The first Vita Rooms saw Sony take over Manchester, where attendees were entertained by DJ Tim Westwood. Celebrity guests included England rugby star Mark Cueto, Manchester City's Mario Balotelli, boxer Amir Kahn and Coronation Street's Jack Thomas.
"PlayStation Vita is an amazing piece of technology - but the very best way to make people realise this is by putting it in their hands," said SCE UK's vice president and managing director Fergal Gara.
"What I have taken away from the past week in Manchester is the level of anticipation and buzz that is building as the PS Vita launch approaches. We now look forward to Vita's reception north of the border."

Vita used to play pirated PS3 games

January 23rd, 2012, 23:13 Posted By: wraggster

Several videos have emerged online that appear to depict hackers playing pirated PS3 games on PlayStation Vita.
Eurogamer reports that the exploit requires a PS3 using the old 3.55 firmware version. Even though Vita Remote Play support was only introduced with the 4.00 firmware release, this restriction can be circumvented within the OS settings.
Games seen being played in the videos include Red Dead Redemption, Battlefield 3 and Batman: Arkham Asylum.
However, from the evidence presented so far the performance of these titles is patchy to say the least, lagging way behind what is possible with proper Remote Play functionality.
Sony has previously expressed its intention to enable Vita Remote Play with PS3’s entire software library, with certain titles supporting a higher framerate.
