Sony: The Future For The PS Vita Remains UnclearShare
We may not see any more Western triple-A titles for the handheld.By Luke Karmali
Sony Computer Entertainment president Andrew House has admitted the future of the PS Vita is still up in the air following the launch of the PS4. Speaking to IGN at this week's Develop Conference in Brighton, House responded to concerns about whether the handheld's days as a portal for triple-A titles are behind it by explaining the company is waiting to see how things progress.
"I certainly think you’ll still see [Vita] as a triple-A machine in Japan where it has a different function with the console dynamic of the marketplace," he said. "That for me is a given. It’s hard to say in terms of the other markets. "I think remote play is still in its nascent stages, I think we need to have better understanding. We know a lot of players are embracing it and using it and seem to like the experience a lot, but necessarily that changes the dynamic. You know, if you can play your PlayStation 4 content at will on Vita, then does that obviate the necessity of having Triple-A content or not? "I think that question will stay unanswered for a little bit."
While we've previously seen new entries in a range of big franchises like Uncharted appear exclusively on the Sony handheld, such offerings have dried up in recent years. There have been mutterings for some time regarding a new Infamous game being in development for Vita but, if this statement is anything to go by, it could be a while before we see it especially as Sony recently admitted fewer first-party games are on the way.
We got the chance to sit down with both PS4 lead architect Mark Cerny and House this week, following their Develop keynote where they discussed why Sony opted to announced the PS4 first, how the decision over whether to include a hard drive caused sleepless nights, three potential aspects that could play a key role in the console's future, and how the PlayStation brand was re-established for serious gamers rather than just kids. Be sure to check out our full interview with House and Mark Cerny, where we discuss why for both Sony and the PS4, the best is yet to come.
