I would love this to be on Vita, but I expect it to be DLC of one sort or another, perhaps followed up by a 'Defintive' or 'GOTY' release on PC and new-gen

I suppose it could come to Vita, but I expect Take-Two and or R* would want Sony to open their chequebook and at least make certain guarantees about how much the game would rake in, if not contribute to the development costs. If not, they may as well just concentrate on DLC for GTAV or get working on the next GTA rather than divert manpower to a smaller project

Reminds me of the AssCreed: Rising Phoenix leak - do we know what that was yet?

You guys have no love for Murasaki baby and Playstation Vita pets.

Rising Phoenix was featured in AC4 so there's hope that it's something. That one might be a Vita title since Agate's concept art was featured beside it. We'll have to wait on Ubisoft's big releases to come out before Ubisoft focuses on any Vita games as they said already.

I hope so, though I'm not an AC fan and only got AC3:L because it was part of my Vita bundle, some big-hitting 3rd party support would be great, espically if Ubi learn from the glitchiness of Liberation (it's not a very pretty game I don't think, though I didn't spend much time with it) and make an AC game which can emulate the console versions, albeit on a smaller scale

I guess you're right about Ubi's workload though, they've got Watchdogs, The Division, Rainbow6: Patriots and who knows what else (wouldn't suprise me if Far Cry 4 is in the works right now). It was Ubisoft Sofia who made Liberation wasn't it? Do we know what they're doing now? I think they were helping to make ACIV - perhaps now they might be free to make a Vita game

Well this is the link if you want to check it out. 

I only heard of them saying Ubisoft Sofia was only developing a specific part of AC4 for them. Possibly it was the DLC with Aveline? So most likely after that they should be free. If not maybe soon.

Because as a handheld title they could afford to make a smaller game that would cost them less to make than a console GTA allowing them to still profit on smaller sales whilst selling to an untapped audience. It also would do a better job than DLC of keeping GTA in the spotlight without the fatigue that could result from more regular releases which is in my opinion a big reason why GTA has beaten COD as this years's biggest game

Also there have been mumblings that Sony are prepared to provide assistance to devs both financially and technically to get their games on Sony platforms, like Gio Corsi's team. I agree it does seem a little unlikely but it isn't impossible and well, we're allowed to dream aren't we? Besides, there is already a strong precedent for handheld GTA on Sony portables and even if this DLC, it doesn't mean they definitely aren't making a Vita game, right?
