Studios and publishers showing interest in mixed-platform play, says Yoshida

Future PlayStation games can be packaged for both Vita and PS3, with cloud data allowing customers to access a game from either device, a senior Sony executive has said.

Shuhei Yoshida, chief of Sony Worldwide Studios, told Eurogamer that it was “totally feasible” for developers to build a connected experience between PS Vita and PS3 editions of the same game.

“One of the games we're making, called Ruin, we are developing both the Vita version and the PS3 version of that title. Both games will be packaged together,” he said.

“You can play the game at home on PS3, save your data on our PSN server on the cloud, and you can continue playing the game on PS Vita by downloading the save from the PSN. And you can do vice versa. It's a continuous experience, playing the same game on PS Vita and PS3.”

Yoshida said this approach, despite the associated costs, has already garnered lots of interest from publishers and developers.

I don't think this would be very successful. Your target audience would be people who own both consoles and want your game and want to play in on both devices.

I dont see this happening unless devs bump up the price ether that or porting to the Vita is as easy an copy and paste

I.E me. ^_^ They could make it that certain items/ parts of the game can only be accessed on the vita or on the ps3. Not something that can ruin the entire game but makes things more fun.

I don't see why this is a negative. If anything; buying the same game twice is worse.

This is a good thing, the problem is will devs/pubs be willing to do somthing like this which will lose them possible profits. It's really hard to say if devs/pubs will jump onto this idea but it is good to see Sony taking the first step with one of their own games to be doing this system and that will hopefully give confindence in the devs/pubs to adapt it to.



Former something....
