Steam Deck OLED vs PlayStation Vita OLED - Helldivers

This video gives a comparison of the original Helldivers running on both the PS Vita OLED and Steam Deck OLED. The PS Vita version is running from a microSD card (using SD2VITA on a modded system); the Steam Deck version is also running from a microSD. As with all of these videos, the purpose is above all else to compare the visuals and performance between the two devices for the game.
The Steam Deck version runs at a locked 90fps and the Vita version runs at (what appears to be) 30fps. The recording is at 60fps. I set the Deck's fps cap / refresh rate to 90fps/90Hz.
There are limited graphical options on the Deck version (none on Vita), but I did turn off Chromatic Abberation. The Deck ran the game at 1280x720 (only because I forgot to check if it could be set to 1280x800). The Vita's max resolution is 544p, but I am not sure of its actual resolution for this game.
Some notes:
1. The timers are basically fixed for this video, but somehow are ahead by .03 seconds. There does not seem to be any real way to fix it as far as I can tell.
2. I was obviously having some issues using the rear touchpad when playing on Vita, but this was more user error than the fault of the rear touchpad (though I still find it to be the one thing I genuinely dislike about this handheld).
3. I did the best I could to get all areas relatively in the same areas for the a better, more direct comparison. The main exceptions were in the initial training mission where the tasks were done in a different order and the multiplayer due to going to different missions.
4. I added some graphics throughout to indicate when footage has been paused (when waiting for the other to load or get to the same spot in the game) and which game's audio is playing.

cool to see that helldivers still gets played on vita. i tend to hop in from time to time myself and, since i also still have a ps3 can choose if i want to play on the handheld or the big screen, because it's crossplay & crossave.

[@thefrozengamer87]

I bought it on Vita largely because of (1) preservation and (2) curiosity on how it looked and ran. It was a lot cheaper on Steam and plays/runs a lot better, but I love the fact that a Vita version exists.

MP Still working on the vita?

[@thefrozengamer87]

Yep. I am guessing it is connecting with people on PSN in general. Matchmaking is faster on Steam, but I still was able to find a mission on both.

Nice comparison. What case are you using on the vita?

@@thefrozengamer87 good choice! also available in white and you can even get l3/r3 triggers that cover the back touchpad. especially for remoteplay an affordable solution.

[@thefrozengamer87]

I have not been a huge fan of remote play, though back when I first got my PS4 I did use it a lot for inFAMOUS Second Son and TLOU Remastered. It worked well for both. The one problem I see with further covering up the rear touchpad is really that this game requires swiping and holding for grenades.

@@thefrozengamer87 that's true, but i don't play helldivers on my remoteplay vita.😄see, i love the vita 1000 model so much, that i have a saphire blue one for my european psn account, a cosmic red for my us psn account and a hacked piano black one that is the one with the chenlan grip (since i don't have a ps4 i do remoteplay with moonlight from my pc. even played a few steam games like that). plus a few spare ones. helldivers is played on my blue vanilla vita that sits on one of these basic grips from china that are called "made for ps vita handle stand" and usually go for 5-10 bucks on ebay or so. they leave most of the console open, but still give you that "like holding a controller" comfort.
