- Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida was interviewed by PlayStation Life Style during TokyoGameShow and he said the following about Gravity Rush 2 going to PS4 exclusively and not to the Vita:

PSLS: You mentioned Gravity Rush and that brings to mind Gravity Rush 2 being revealed for PS4 but not Vita, which is where Gravity Rush started. There’s kind of a mix of bitterness and excitement there to experience that on PS4. I’m saying things you already know.

But that brings to mind this question: Do you feel that Sony gave Vita enough first-party software support from launch to now?

Yoshida: Oh yeah, absolutely. At the launch of PS Vita, we had like over 10 games — original titles. Our role is always to be challenging something somebody may not be prepared to do. In terms of the Gravity Rush 2 decision, it was made very early that we decided to move it to PS4 only.

It’s an open-world game and the vision has really large potential in terms of realizing higher performance. The team did a really good job to create an open-world game with the first Gravity Rush on a portable, but when we’re able to show more about Gravity Rush 2, I’m sure people will totally understand why we made it PS4 only.

Are you disappointed at Gravity Rush 2 not coming for the PlayStation Vita?

Geez for a second there I read Gravity Rush 2 is early in development

if it use PS4 power then im not . day 1 purchase!

No, full blown console games will always be superior than handheld games.

Better controls, graphics, resolution, etc.

I enjoyed GR and i'm ready for GR2

THIS.

The original Gravity Rush started out as a PS3 game for those of you who don't know.

Anyway, I'd decide against releasing it on the Vita even if it didn't demand superior hardware.

Not surprising, they simply saw they could get more money from sales on PS4 instead of Vita.

I will get gravity rush 2 on the ps4, after hearing that the original is being re-released on the ps4 as well, so now I have 2 more ps4 games to buy. Going to need to buy a new shelf for all my damn ps4 games :)

Good then this game deserves more
