After confirming back at Gamescom 2012 that PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is coming to the PlayStation Vita handheld platform, Sony and developer Bluepoint Games have revealed the first details about the performance of the fighting game on the portable console.

Sony and SuperBot Entertainment announced PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale earlier this year for the PlayStation 3. Recently, the two companies have confirmed that the game is also coming to the PS Vita platform and that it will be the first to benefit from the Cross-Buy system, meaning that those who get it on the PS3 also receive a free PS Vita copy.

Now, the first details about the game’s Vita version have surfaced, courtesy of a post on the PS blog by Bluepoint Games Senior Producer, Daryl Allison.

According to him, Bluepoint has worked closely with Sony and SuperBot in order to make sure the Vita version of Battle Royale is a faithful recreation of the PS3 edition, with no differences in framerate, button input, or online play.

“We could not settle for a reduced graphical experience – no one should! – so we set off on a journey of crazy problem solving for each character, environment and effect,” he said. “Bringing the very best out of this portable platform has led our team at Bluepoint to hit back with a combo of high-end math and old-school dev tricks. It hasn’t been easy, but we’re doing it, and all with the game blazing at 60 frames per second. PlayStation All-Stars makes you believe that with PS Vita you have a PS3 in the palm of your hand.”

According to Allison, the goal was to make the experience feel the same no matter your platform, especially when it came to actual gameplay.

“It’s important that there are no advantages (or disadvantages) due to the different hardware – no network lag, no input lag, so PlayStation All-Stars on PS Vita must be — and is — tuned to have the same tight gameplay responsiveness. From button press to character action, the quality of fighting is upheld to PS3 standards.”

More details are going to be revealed about PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale as we get closer to its release on the PS3 and PS Vita on November 20, in North America, and November 21, in Europe.
