Saw this over on NeoGaf
One potential issue that raises is what will happen to the Vita if it increasingly becomes seen as a remote terminal for the PS4, rather than a console in it’s own right? Gara admits that’s a “good question” but states, “Certainly for the foreseeable [future] we intend to continue developing – our publishing partners will continue to develop – Vita experiences that are standalone”. However, what could happen is by no means fixed. “How will that evolve? I don’t know”, says Gara. “I think gamers will tell us how that will evolve [by] how they use the device in the future”. That said, he does go on to raise one obvious point: “What I would say is one thing you will not be able to do with your PS4 games, clearly, is play offline. So, you know, if you’re on a train, offline, what are you going to play on? So there isn’t today a mechanic, other than a dedicated PS Vita game, to play games in that environment”.
