Wasn't sure where else to post this, but I was able to give my summary take on the game over at the Quarter to Three forums. I thought some people might be interested in checking it out:

I made a video last night, titled "Vendetta Online: Why I Play"

After I linked to it in the above thread, one Brian Rubin, author of Space Game Junkie, featured it in his blog:

One anonymous viewer already disliked it, unfortunately. I'm pretty happy with how the video turned out.

Nice vid. That fight vs Neon Black was awesome.

How did you get rid of the on-screen "field" controls without removing the three touch buttons? Is that an Xperia Play feature?

Yes, the Xperia Play already has touch fields in its fold-out mode, and doesn't use on-screen virtual joysticks.

Remember that 10 items list that TerranAmbassador posted in my topic, about 1st impressions?
That list should be placed on those VO reviews, because it's the reason I tryed once more to play the game, and subscribed.
Probably it will be usefull to convince many other players to try it out. A resume of player-player hostile interactions motivators. It's good to know that PvP goes way beyond the Blue x Red, and can be Guild conducted.

Okay, I will keep that in mind for next time.

Yeah, I know the Xperia Play has touch pads. My phone (Moto Photon Q LTE) has a hardware keyboard that I use to fly and I can't disable those on-screen virtual joysticks or the on-screen keyboard without *also* disabling the rest of the touch HUD buttons which I use.

I wonder if the devs made a special variant of the touch UI just for the Xperia Play. :(

The short answer is, "Yes."
