I love the fact that TxK is on there! and it's looking fucking powerful already! Is there a way to port the vita onto a large screen by cable? Kinda how TxK should be ... Would look stunning on my HUGE LCD ;-)
Not yet, unless you want to mod/hack the hardware (Google finds the report) and there may be a future version with micro USB/hdmi connection, but nothing's been confirmed.
Actually the ones we have have an HDMI output ...

That's a dev kit though?

Also, if Llamasoft keep releasing details about the dev kit, you'll get in trouble. :wink:

If they release that in the next few months, I'm going to be very annoyed. :wink:

If this was a crowd sourced project then clearly the investors/fan-base have a stake in the product and specific expectations - Since it's not, and this is your company, job and profession you've only got yourselves to please in this venture. :wink:
Having been one of those people asking about the sounds in TxK, I suppose I will need to justify the reason.
But I find it hard to explain why I asked the question, other than I want the best outcome of TxK for Llamasoft,
and didn't intend any harmful nature in it.

Judging by the way the visuals for TxK are looking; things are coming together nicely from reading the twitter feed.
I quite like the retro vectorise beam style of the graphics as a homage to the original, and can only hope things continue they have been for you ...

I wonder if Vita -> PS3/4 via wifi is a possibility similar to iOS -> Apple TV.

I've just played Thomas was Alone with the developer audio commentary playing and, as with Portal, it really adds to the game. After listening to the TwA post-mortem commentary I have a new found respect for the developer and greater appreciation of the game.

This got me thinking, any chance of adding an audio commentary to TxK?

Having audio of Jeff and Giles explaining gameplay elements and discussing the evolving design process would be fantastic. :)

Do it. :D

It would be a great way to generate extra publicity for the launch.

Guessing they're a bit busy, judging by this Tweet the other day:
