Llamasoft does TxK for Sony Vita

[gravy]

Whatever it is, I'm guessing Vita/PS4. There's been a fair bit of interplay between Jeff and Sony's main UK indie rep on Twitter recently...

/smug ;-P

Crap.

At this rate Jeff is going to have me buying all the useless gadgets.

Just don't make a WiiU game after Vita, alrighty ?

Consider this a PS3/Vita cross-play request, because much like iThing, I don't particularly need/want a Vita.

At last I may want to pick up my vita!

[Governmentyard]

I'll grab a Vita when they're fourty quid like PSPs are now, I think. Still not been a year since I bought an iPad, with that decision based 50% on it being the Llamasoft platform of choice. Between that and the 360 I bought for Space Giraffe and the gaming PC rig I stretched for to be able to keep on testing PC releases, I'm best part of a grand invested in gaming hardware with a view to Llamasoft since 2008. Not complaining, but that's quite engough.

All of which begs the question: does anyone have a Vita I can borrow from time to time?

PS4 surely?

[Harlequin]

I would remember that the Neon engine is cross-platform and therefore anything developed for it can be ported to any other system with good enough hardware. Timing, however, I might be less optimistic about considering how long it's been taking for PC versions of the iOS games to appear.

So!

Should I rebuy that VITA or what?

Hmm...

Yes. I bought a Jag and a Noun for Jeff's Tempest games. This time I won't have to buy the device, just blow off a think layer of dust from it.

Interesting to see how this goes. Obviously far far fewer Vitas out there, but also far far far far fewer games to compete against, so easier to be noticed so hopefully higher unit sales at higher prices.

I'd be less optimistic of Sony not going for exclusivity and actually allowing a cross platform release in the deal...but stranger things have happened

Oh, not for initial release. I do not think that the exclusivity window should be excruciatingly large, though.

Vita? Pass.

Having over the years bought a Jag, Jag CD, 360, Nuon, Windows Pocket device for GR++ (which I don't even know where it is after someone 'borrowed it), an iPad for LS games and software, I don't see why the patter wouldn't continue. I'm amazed that I can pick up second hand Vitas for $150 on the second hand market here. Sorted.

As mentioned before, there aren't many of these devices in the wild, that's my only concern. With this sort of thing if the marketing is in place and, having been to Japan numerous times, if it could appeal to that market over there, I'm sure whatever 'it' is will do well
