Vectrex Mini interview - David Oghia talks up the nostalgic vector powerhouse

Having been wowed by the news of the Vectrex Mini at Gamescom , I rushed off some questions to VectrexOn's main man  David Oghia . After a post-event, well earned, break, he's kindly given us a lot of detail about the project and some new images of the unit to share.  His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth! But he's had the energy and drive to do something about it, and met the right people to get the job done!  What first got you interested in Vectrex and what spawned the idea of a Mini version? I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128. I only really discovered the console world in the late 90s, which is when I got my very first Vectrex. Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

Capcom Says Vita's Street Fighter x Tekken Visuals Match the PS3

I'm sure the likes of Digital Foundry will go into this claim in minute, anal, detail when the games are out, but Capcom's developers are claiming that the graphics are near-identical on the Vita and the PS3 version. According to Eurogamer's interview with Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono:


"Right now, because we haven't finished tuning and optimising everything, the frame rate occasionally will stutter. We're looking to fix that. But the actual visuals themselves, the actual textures and everything, look pretty much identical. It's virtually a one-to-one match at this point."


Capcom's Street Fighter IV-related fighting games use a special engine and Ono and his team believe the Vita version will achieve 60FPS. "In moving this to the Vita there will be a lot of adjustments and ways for us to figure out how to get it as good as it can on there. Obviously, with a portable system, no matter how powerful it is, there's clock speed and battery life – all sorts of things to consider.

I suppose more importantly, will there be cross-console play? Now, that would be awesome!
