Batman is the one I'm personally most interested in out pf whats announced sofar
We will have to wait and see, but just because the focus is on PS4(where it was always going to be) does not mean that they cant put any effort into the Vita side of things. I dont recall how long Sonys gamescom presentations run, but even if 20 minutes were spent on Vita it would be better then what SCEA gave it.
I think Vita has a much better shot at getting some love from gamescom then it did at E3 considering almost all of the major support coming from the system is coming from Europe, and Japan. It also helps that (love him, or hate him) Shahids team is SCEE, and atleast in Shahids case his job seems to be a focus on signing content for the Vita primarily.
Ok now i'm really worried
To scea's people giving more than a minute for vita games would make a conference vita focused

Anyone ever expecting Sony to place a greater emphasis on their handheld over their flagship consoles is asking for disappointment. However, a focus on PS4 does not automatically mean that SCEE will ignore the Vita in the same way that SCEA did, this is more true when you consider that SCEE has a team that has been putting a strong focus on signing devs to work on Vita games.
With SCEE you have people who regularly talk about the system, talk about bringing developers to the platform, and actually spend allot of time playing games on it, with SCEA you get "Vita? Lol, remote play." The moment Levine made that tweet about Bishock Shahid jumped on it when the guy is pretty much begging SCEA to do something.
I kind of wonder if it would do any good to send a message to Randy Pitchford about Borderlands Vita since he was doing the same thing and SCEA ignored it. I would die laughing if Shahid got SCEE approval to sign both of them.
Interesting I had not heard about that. Only that after Levine tweeted about the game Shahid sent him a request asking him to get in contact.
Pitchford I had not heard anything about for awhile othet than he wanted Sony to help get it going. Take 2 is supposed to be going to gamescom, but even if anything is being done I doubt either would be ready to show until sometime next yeat at the earliest.
Still, at this point SCEE seems more interested in supporting the Vita as a standalone platform then SCEA does. At least from a public view, Adam boyes has rarely said two words about the system.
dont forget the vita and a bunch of games boys sent to notch that is probably collectig dust now because mohjng is clearly not porting minecraft to playstation hardware
They cant until their exclusivity deal is up with MS, Notch told people to be paitent when asked about "other platforms". That does not quite garuntee a dedicated Vita version though obviously, it will most likely end up on PS4 reguardless of that.
Id take some scrolls on Vita to be honest, game is awesome.
Minecraft came out on 360 more than a year ago.
And they signed a new deal for the Xbox One.
Ask him, he was the one talking about it with people during E3 on twitter. People asked him about PSN versions, and he said that (and im paraphrasing) " im not sure I can even say this much reguarding other platforms, but paitence is a virtue". He also did not seem happy with the direction MS chose to take with their indie support, and presentation during E3.
Nothing is garunteed, but I doubt Minecraft is just going to die within a year.

Do we know they signed a new exclusivity deal. The designer talked about PS3/Vita versions in past. The way MS worded it in the conference made it sound like an exclusive version (i.e. with exclusive content or some such).
Well i won't be against borderlands on vita, trying won't hurt, i don't want a simple port though.
Man that was the dumbest and cheapest attempt of getting a million seller.

It's not as much ESRB making mistakes, as it is companies getting their games rated for any platforms they might decide to release on in the future. Adding an additional platform is easy and doesn't cost anything, while having it rated separately at a later date means starting the process anew.
I'm just assuming to be honest, but it seemed likely. Great news if it doesn't exist any more, but if that was the case I would have expected more talk about other versions.

Notch probably just threw it on his pile of money and then it got buried underneath it -__-
Sony doesn't need to beg such developers for VITA ports, especially when they are known to be bound by some exclusivity contract.
Catching up on the past couple of pages - this looks pretty nice actually! Surprised no-one else responded to you - probably because you didn't include screenshots
And I think they do - Minecraft on Sony systems would be a huge get, and I'm sure they know it.
I'd say it's unlikely since Notch looked more impressed by golden PSone than XBone. Probably an old deal hasn't expired yet

I would like to see the IOS version of XCOM ported to Vita.
Not at £30 I wouldn't -.-
I would rather they release their next game on the vita. I already have xcom for free on ps plus.
would be cool, but from the first screen so far I think Frozen Synpase tactics will fill that void for me so its not a huge deal.

Is frozen synapse tactics different from frozen synapse. Because if not I have that on my nexus already.
yes, its seems to be 3D now, and the visuals resemble Frozen Endzone. the screenshot of Tactics is in this thread somewhere, and I cant link to it at the moment so you can search for Frozen Synapse Tactics screenshot if you like.

Occasionally there are surprises, but you can generally find out what's coming next store update by listening to the PlayStation Blogcast on Thursdays (or checking PSNStores.com Sneak Peek weekly post which gets updated with the titles from the Blogcast).
Stealth Inc. has been confirmed for next week, as part of the PSN Play promotion. Spelunky is apparently still being worked on, and doesn't have a date yet.
for those interested there are also 7 PSmobile releases this week one of which being a roguelike called Adventure Bar Labyrinth that im curious about.
Watching a video for Doodle God...I have no idea wtf that is supposed to be.
oh man that list is shit
2 psp games and who knows what doodle god is supposed to be
kung fu rabbit looks like it could be ok but is it a native PSN game? as in trophy support, etc? (i dont buy ps mobile games)
edit: nevermind.. watched kung fu rabbit on youtube, the way the layout is presented looks straight up like a fucking ios game
oh well, thanks for the heads up on stealth inc, excited for that one!

I played it already and I have no idea wtf that is supposed to be.
Consider this post extreme port begging. We all do it; it seems like being a Vita owner (plus Sonys recent approach) a free pass to hope, discuss and wish for titles to come to our beleaguered handheld.
These posts will be a little selfish things that I think look a bit cool but Im not just chucking any random shit in here. What would suit the Vita? What does the Vita need? What genres does it need to cover? These are the questions Im asking myself while exploring promising titles from Kickstarter to fully fledged, released titles.
Feel free to add, suggest, and discuss some of the stuff here.
Im on the fence with Kickstarter; a lot of promises, a lot of hyperbole but, so far, not a huge amount to show for it. Some of the successful PC Kickstarters are starting to bear fruit, so theres cause for optimism. We know that Sony are looking into adding PS4/Vita as stretch goals on a number of projects (one or two Ill address in this post) so why not a few more? Heres a list of fully funded, or currently being pitched titles that I think might be a good fit.
Need Funding
Liege
I know this was posted earlier - but here it is again in case some of you missed it. This has already been approved by Sony and has added a PS4/Vita stretch goal already.
Story, Tactics, and Art. A modern re-imagining of the classic 16-bit RPG.
Legend of Iya
Gorgeous art, wonderful animation and it scratches that genre itch.
It feels like were constantly discussing two genres in this thread; roguelikes and metroidvanias. We have Spelunky coming shortly, with one or two others to satisfy the first, but Ive been dying to play a good Metroidvania since, well, Metroid Prime. (Hyperbole Guacamelee was pretty good too.)
An epic metroidvania adventure built of beautiful pixels.
Satellite Reign
This is more of a Oh please based Shahid I dont even know if the Vita could run it but it looks fucking awesome type of pitch.
What I said before about the two genres we discuss being roguelikes and metroidvanias? Yeah well, include strategy in it as well! Because this looks and sounds wonderful, and in an age where we chuck shit loads of money at boring point and click games, this has been neglected get on it Sony. Thank me later.
A real-time, class-based strategy game, set in an open world cyberpunk city, from the creator of Syndicate Wars.
Monochroma
I know what you're thinking "But Moobabe; another stylised platformer? I'm tired of this bullsh.." Well, shut up and listen! Limbo meets Ico is how its described in the pitch video, and it looks pretty remarkable. No written words, no spoken words, nothing.
"A cinematic puzzle platformer about being a kid and caring for a little brother in a chilling 1950s dystopia."
Stonehearth
The final Kickstarter game for this post, and the only one fully funded. We need to realise we might not be getting Minecraft any time soon on our system. Does it suck? Maybe. But it also gives other titles a chance to shine. Like this one;
"A sandbox strategy game with town building, crafting, and epic battles!"
The aesthetic of Minecraft just on a grander scale, and with co-op and PvP this could be perfect for a #YOPO type of deal.
This is just the beginning though. I'm gonna put a lot of time into these sorts of posts over the coming week, looking into Greenlight, titles already on Steam etc If someone wants to help out, send me suggestions etc then by all means do! Especially when it comes to iOS titles which I know very little about.
Again - I'm hoping the point of these threads will be to inspire discussion about what titles we not only want to see on Vita, but what titles would be a good fit. So do some research, do some exploring, there's some amazing games out there that could benefit from having the exposure of being on a Sony system, and we may even find "the next Minecraft" in the process.
Happy hunting!
There are flash versions of Doodle God, google it if you want to try the game before to buy it. It's a puzzle game. You start with basic elements (water, earth, fire, etc...) and you have to combine them to discover new elements which you'll use then in new combinations. The goal is to discover every element. Very basic but fun.
I'm playing Kung Fu Rabbit these days (I'm 1 trophy away of the 100%). It is a nice platformer/puzzle game. Very easy at the beginning but it can be quite challenging at the end. There are 80 relatively short levels. When you finish a first time the game, you unlock hard version of this levels.
I don't know the 2 other games

I have no idea what this is, but I would pay large quantities of cash monies to see this style realised on the Vita screen.Legend of Iya
But I don't like Kickstarter. Conflict!
