Hardware and system software. Blue Reflection is a game that really pushes the hardware to its limits; when there are heavy particle effects in the game, you can discern a steep drop in frame rate. This game was released March 2017.
There is also space limitations in play. A lot of assets are seemingly missing. In many cases, a character will have a dialog, but you do not hear their voice. I've never played this game elsewhere, so I don't know if this is correct, but it wouldn't surprise me, since the game is at most 2 GB on the Vita, and storing PCM audio is expensive. (I doubt AAC is used, despite hardware decoding available, because you will have to take into account encoder delay, remainder samples, and other annoying things in order to synchronize speech with character movement. Feel free to disprove me!).
- dylan604 3y agoin my world of 8K and UHD/4K videos, audio is essentially a rounding error. For dialog delivered during game play, seems like they could get away with 8bit 22kHz mono and really drop the file sizes of PCM. at that point, audio is just an after thought except when you're trying to squeeze every damn bit out of a finite amount of space on a disc or filesize limit by a distribution platform.
