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.

Resident Evil Revelations 2 is out and scaring gamers

Sony couldn't be bothered to tell the world that one of the biggest names in gaming is on the Vita, it just pushed this Frima port out like a naughty puppy.

UPDATE: There's already a patch out that fixes some issues!

Thankfully, plenty of gamers are putting up in game footage, so we can see what we're buying for our £25. Early opinion is that its a barely passable effort with the sound compressed in new and evil ways that even Umbrella wouldn't consider.

Frame rate is highly variable when enemies appear, but somehow the coders have managed to cram the game on to the Vita where it can sit alongside the PS One version of the originals.

Think I'll give it a shot, after all this could be the last big name game (Gravity Rush 2 aside) ever to grace the format.

Still, as with Call of Duty, as with Borderlands 2 and now Resident Evil, it shows that you don't get good results if you give a porting time minimal time to do the job.


And here's some of the game's Raid Mode in action...
