| Andrespetmonkey said: I could see an announcement at E3 or Gamescom and release next november to go along with a price cut. Infamous wouldn't do nearly as well as Uncharted. GOW might, but Uncharted is a bigger franchise now and sells more in Europe, Vita's stongest territory. Bundled with a price-slashed Vita and I think it'll hit 3M lifetime. Ready at Dawn should be developing the GOW Vita, but their next game is for "Next-Gen Home Console" (PS4), so that ain't happening. Who besides bend would you want for GOW Vita? |
I think the price cut will happen before November. I'm thinking early-mid next year to go alongside Killzone + Tearaway, but I've never really followed how price cuts generally work (do they mostly happen on the run up to holidays?) so I guess we'll see. Although saying that, I suppose those two games could release at any point next year, not necessarily early on.
About Infamous: You're right, I just think it's the kind of game whose mechanics would lend themselves quite well to Vita. There's potential for some interesting controls and scenarios. It probably wouldn't be a system seller, but more the kind of library-padder that helped PS3 gain momentum.
About GOW Vita: I have no idea. Like you say, Ready at Dawn are busy working on next-gen, but they also categorically ruled out developing for Vita (for the time being at least):
The only studios I can think of who would be up for it are some of the second-parties, like say Idols Minds or Mass Media Inc. Put them on the job and have Santa Monica watch them like a hawk while making the game. Who do you think?
