Vita vs. PS4

[starcrunch061]

Is there anything extra on the PS4? Is the Vita version sucky? If neither of these are the case, why does this game cost 50% more on PS4?

Nope, they both have the exact same content. The Vita version works perfectly fine; I've experienced no issues whatsoever.

 

The only difference between the two versions is a better resolution and possibly a better framerate on PS4. The better resolution is to be expected since the screen you'd be playing it on is much larger, and as for the framerate, it's a visual novel, so that's not exactly important.  The Vita version has a stable framerate and it looks great on the smaller screen.

 

As for the price, pretty much every game that has PS4 and Vita versions is cheaper on the Vita. It doesn't indicate a lower quality in the slightest. Visual novels are perfect for handheld, and it also has the price advantage, so I would absolutely recommend that you get the Vita version.

I've heard the sound quality of the Vita version is fairly poor compared to the PS4 version. Not sure how true this is, I don't have the Vita version to test for myself.

 

I got all the other Danganronpa games on Vita since I got them at launch, and I have to say, I do kinda regret not getting this game on Vita as well. The game looks really bad (the 3D models and environments at least) on a big screen, it definitely feels more fitting for a small screen. On one hand though, I don't have to worry about my Vita battery running low any more, it means I can't really play the game outside of my house, but I rarely bring handhelds out with me anyway unless I'm going on vacation.

 

The main reason I got the game for the PS4 is just for future proofing. If my PS4 were to ever die, it'd be super easy to just get a new one. If my Vita died (and it is getting on now, bought it like 4-5 years ago), I would have a lot more difficulty nowadays to find a brand new, sealed Vita. I've re-purchased games I've loved for newer consoles for this reason too. It may just me being paranoid, but I have had consoles die on me before, usually when it's at that point where new consoles are no longer being produced.

 

I wouldn't say the game costs "50% more though", at least not here. The Vita version was like £30-35, and the PS4 version cost me £40. This is the physical versions I'm talking about. There's been plenty of other games where the PS4 version costs more than the Vita one though.

Thanks guys. 

 

@SuperSmexy500Here in the states, the Vita version is $39.99, while the PS4 version is $59.99.

That's a rather insane price difference. The most I've seen here is a PS4 version of a game being about £10 more than the Vita version.

I'd just say go with whatever version of the game you prefer. Obviously the Vita is the cheapest option, and there's really no differences between the PS4 or Vita version, so it's ultimately up to you which version you decide on.

I haven't gotten to V3 yet but I've always felt this style of game works better on a portable system. Easy to pick up and play but never too intense to be a bad time to put into rest mode.

I've got all three danganronpa games on psvita and I was really looking forward this V3. I tried both demo on my ps4 and my vita and the differences between them really shocked me. What I am really worry about the vita version are:

1) really bad audio quality

2) compressed video scene

3) really strange graphical effect (granylike) during class trial, expecially between change of camera (almost 1 every minute or so)

Are these faults present also in the shipped and patched version of the game?

Thanks

I'm playing on Vita, and I haven't experienced anything of what you mentioned, so that's either an exaggeration, or the final version is free of these issues. The game looks and sounds great to me.

That's very good to hear my friend, thanks a lot

Because it's been that since the start of the generation? =D

PS4 games are always 1.5 of Vita price despite having the literally same content.

[syumisan]

I have the game for ps vita

The only this is the audio sometimes can be overpowered by the BGM but other than that, the game is AWESOME. I just beat the storyline last night

 

How I changed that I lowered the BGM and raised the voicelines lol

Same here. 

 

As for the Vita version, the only issue I've experienced so far is with the sound. When I started the game, my first thought was that the sound was too low. And when I tried to turn it up, I realized that it was already at its max. Even with the headphones, I couldn't hear really well. Now I play the game when everything is silent around me and I changed the parameters to hear the voice acting over the background music. I don't think I could play this game in the bus/train/car because I probably wouldn't hear anything. Btw, I have the Japanese voices dlc on it, that might be the reason why some people are experiencing trouble and others don't?

[Undead Wolf]

The voices are definitely too quiet by default on the Vita version, but I asked @Redgrave who's playing on PS4 and he said it was the same for him. Like others have mentioned, you can just turn up the voice volume and turn down the music in the options menu which fixes that particular issue. I play at about 80% volume on Vita and I can hear everything just fine.

I'm not used to having to go over the sound limit of my Vita to hear what's happening in a game. But as long as this works, I'm cool with it.

What's the sound limit on Vita? But yeah, for most games I don't need the volume as high as I do with DRV3 to have it at a level I'm comfortable with. Max volume is definitely still overkill, though. I suppose I should mention that I always use earphones when playing games on Vita, so maybe it's different if you're using the speakers.

AVLS that limits the sound to approximately to 80%? You know, to protect your ears and everything.

Oh, right. I've never had that option on. I didn't see much point in it.

This is what I am most concerned about (number 3 on the list):

Reminder that Vita has the HD/JPN audio DLC. For those complaining about sound, are you using it?

Japanese voices are only available through DLC so yes

And you're sure that isn't an intentional effect? It does't happen on the PS4 version?

No that I remember but I'll look into that, are these "effect" present in the final game? Maybe is just that, an effect, but i really dont remember seeing that in ps4 demo

That's the impression I got when playing the game. It didn't feel like a glitch or anything like that. Either way, it's really not much of an issue.

I remember hearing complaints about audio quality a while back related to some other game or its demo. I think the heavy audio compression's point was to bring down the file size of a demo and in the end the audio was fine in the final product or at least fixed with a patch. Maybe someone here remembers which Vita game this was? I'm guessing (and hoping) this is the case with Danganronpa V3 demo too.
