Vita-specific PlayStation Network Functionality
Near - "Near" is a core PlayStation Vita feature composed of
location-based services, that utilize PlayStation Network. Near,
developed specifically for this service and the network, will be
pre-installed in the system to let users find out what their friends in
the vicinity are playing now or what they were playing recently. Users
can meet their friends and new players virtually, regardless of what
games they are playing, simply by sharing their game information across
different dimensions of time and distance.
LiveArea and Activity Log - Every game title for PlayStation Vita
will be provided with a space called "LiveArea" where users can share
the fun and excitement with other players. Users will have access to the
latest information of games provided from SCE and third party
developers and publishers through PlayStation Network. Additionally,
Vita users will be able to view "Activity Log" which is constantly
updated with accomplishments from users who are playing the same game,
which in turn can trigger active real-time communication among users.
