New ps vita's social and online modes/features detailed


 
Ever since sony revealed ps vita at e3,it has outnumbered Nintendo 3ds by offering new features which 3ds doesn’t have.Today sony revealed few new features for ps vita ”Near”,”Live Area”,”Party”, and”Activity”.


“Near” is now a “gifting” system rather than a social discovery tool; You can leave gifts for certain people at certain positions and places which consists on ingame items and challenges.people will be able to see your location, your top 5 games,gifts you registered for and vice versa.you’ll have 100 kilobytes to store your gifts and they will follow you from place to place.you can gift your friends with challenges or in-game items.

“LiveArea” is an  update system that will show things like notifications from friends, new DLC and updates for games, you will also be able to comment on friends activities and publish messages.

“Party” is a cross-game voice chat system, which allows communication platform wide.You can communicate with your friends online regardless what you are playing. You can turn it off in team-based games if u feel like playing solo but otherwise it’s pretty much always there. It’s also a friends list thing, and you can build game-related groups for easy launching with your teammates or buddies. Hopefully they’ll add an exception for this so it doesn’t eat up your 3G bandwidth allowance.

Lastly is "Activity" which is a way for players to see what other players are achieving ingame.Ratings and trophies will be automatically published and you ll be able to comment on activities similar to wat you do on facebook.

Sounds interesting to me.More ways to connect and interact with you friends.Guess I m even more excited for ps vita now.Leave your thoughs below.:)
