I think this is new? Eurogamer just posted it up an hour ago.

By Robert Purchese Published 20 February, 2012 Longsworth went on to commit Sony's top studios to Vita development. This included Naughty Dog, which isn't making Uncharted: Golden Abyss for Vita - Sony Bend is. "Absolutely you will [see Naughty Dog on Vita]," confirmed Longsworth. "You'll see a number of games coming out from all of our studios."

I guess they might be expanding a bit more than originally thought.

platformer team on vita, experience team on consoles

[Toki767]

Yep. It should be interesting. Maybe The Last of Us on Vita? Or Jak & Daxter

[Dreams-Visions]

sounds good. I would think they would be pretty important to the Vita, considering they were arguably the best PS3 developer this generation. Hopefully they'll find non-gimmicky ways to utilize the platform. Their contributions will be much appreciated.

[Kerrby]

Wasn't this from the Keighley interview? The guy didn't exactly sound like he knew what he was talking about.

platformer team on vita, experience team on consoles

right now their "inexperience" team as you would probably put it is working on The Last of Us, while who knows what the Uncharted 3 team is working on

no, the experience team is working on the last of us. they are making experiences.

[Takao]

Yeah, that sounds word for word on the Keighly interview where he drops the Call of Duty bomb.

Seems the dude needs some more breaking in.

[Nirolak]

Well, worst case we can see if arne comes and denies it.

[Spwn]

Would be great if they created a new Vita specific IP and make it a series of three main games and a kart racing game.

[faridmon]

Pushing the Vita hard. I am glad they are doing this. The PSP got B teams all the time.

[Pinko Marx]

I'd love to see a Jak for Vita.
Or a new franchise. Let them make a new franchise.

[Takao]

This also makes me really sad Bend did Uncharted on Vita. I want a new IP, or a new SF from them.

[ShockingAlberto]

Sony has hopefully realized the importance of not letting your handheld be perceived as the kid brother console.

One of the keys to Nintendo's success in this area is that they didn't just give Mario Kart 3DS to Next Level Games and told them to make a go of it, they used the main Mario Kart team that made the other games. Which even if it does not produce radically different experiences, it gives people who are familiar with the series an idea of the baseline quality they can expect from it.

Sony's seemingly always had trouble getting their own perceptions of their handhelds as places just as viable to develop on as their consoles. The first step is showing that they themselves believe this to be the case.

[cw_sasuke]

Jack and Daxter on Vita plz.

[Chris_C]

Vita purchase vindicated.

[jump_button]

that nice but ..... are are they telling us? oh good PR for Vita its nice carrot but no news of a new game its easy to say they working on somthing

[Dreams-Visions]

Vita purchase vindicated.

vindicated next year? because I wouldn't assume they'd have much ready to go this calendar year. but hey...who knows.

edit: what I want to know is what is Insomniac planning? something? nothing? because Ratchet is a requirement.

[Massa]

Well, worst case we can see if arne comes and denies it.

Worst case is ND doesn't say anything (because they can't) and this rumored "ND Vita game" gets mentioned for years and years, serving only to annoy the people that know this guy doesn't have a clue. :p

Or they have a third team, but that would be weird. I would assume the Uncharted 3 team moves on to PS4 while the other one is finishing a PS3 game.

[Acquiescence]

Aren't Naughty Dog busy enough as it is? What with one team working on The Last of Us and the other prepping tech for Uncharted 4 on the PS4.

[StuBurns]

Knock out a Jak till they're ready for UC4 year two of PS4, sounds good.

[Nirolak]

vindicated next year? because I wouldn't assume they'd have much ready to go this calendar year. but hey...who knows. edit: what I want to know is what is Insomniac planning? something? nothing? because Ratchet is a requirement.

Last time they were asked they said they weren't making anything, and they currently have two games with EA, so I'm not sure they're actually developing games with Sony anymore.

[Phoenician_Viking]

Great news if true.

[Kafel]

Great.

We need AAA teams working on handelds.

Well so far the Vita games not developed by their console studio:

Modnation Racers: Road Trip - developed by co-developer of PS3 version, and full developer of PSP version. franchise is basically dead, UFG is working on LBP: Karting which will probably be on Vita eventually.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss - developed by Bend. I guess Naughty Dog was busy. Has been in development since shortly after the release of the first Uncharted.

Resistance: Burning Skies - franchise's dead, Insomniac abandoned it.

LittleBigPlanet - developed by studios who did PS3 LBP DLC. Console developer rumored to be doing next game on Vita/PS3.

Killzone - developed by Cambridge. Console developed rumored to be doing next game for PS3/Vita. Cambridge may actually be folded into Guerrilla.

HSG, WipEout, and MotorStorm are all legit.

[FreeMufasa]

I hope we just don't get PS3 IP sequals.

[Metalmurphy]

This is from the gametrailers interview right?

I don't think he knew what he was talking about, he was basically just saying "yeah" to everything.

[Kafel]

LittleBigPlanet - developed by studios who did PS3 LBP DLC. Console developer rumored to be doing next game on Vita/PS3.

The kart racer ?

[Takao]

The kart racer ?

No, LBP:Karting is being developed by United Front Games (who did Modnation on PS3).

[earvcunanan]

I'll believe it if/when Guerrilla, ND, Sucker Punch, Polyphony, etc have something to show for Vita.

[Nirolak]

The kart racer ?

Tarsier and Double Eleven are making a regular LBP game for Vita.

[RockmanWhore]

Nice, I hope it's a new IP though, I'm not a huge fan of Jak & Daxter, and Uncharted is starting to getting stale.

[Dreams-Visions]

Last time they were asked they said they weren't making anything, and they currently have two games with EA, so I'm not sure they're actually developing games with Sony anymore.

well damn.

that's...really disappointing as one who cancelled the pre-order, but would pick one up anyway if things seemed to be going in the right direction for the system. I'll look forward to what's shown at E3, then.

[Defuser]

I hope this means Insomniac and Sucker punch are on this too although they're third party.

[Hyuga]

Aren't Naughty Dog busy enough as it is? What with one team working on The Last of Us and the other prepping tech for Uncharted 4 on the PS4.

And who said that the UC3 team is prepping the tech for UC4?

[CrankyKong]

I'll believe it if/when Guerrilla, ND, Sucker Punch, Polyphony, etc have something to show for Vita.

Gran Turismo Vita with full Career mode....

[Takao]

I'll believe it if/when Guerrilla, ND, Sucker Punch, Polyphony, etc have something to show for Vita.

Polyphony's probably cooking something. SCEJ got them to make a PSP game, and they're going to want to get some more mileage out of those GT5 assets.

PUN INTENDED

I hope this means Insomniac and Sucker punch are on this too although they're third party.

Sony bought Sucker Punch last year. Yoshida actually took a visit last week.

[RockmanWhore]

I hope this means Insomniac and Sucker punch are on this too although they're third party.

Sucker Punch is first party now, Sony bought them before the release of inFamous 2 IIRC.

[SolidSnakex]

I hope this means Insomniac and Sucker punch are on this too although they're third party.

Sony bought Sucker Punch last year.

And i'll believe that ND will develop for the Vita when they show something for it. They're one developer that I have a hard time seeing on that platform.

[Goldrusher]

All I care about are the exclusives. Not interested in PS3 ports.

[Le-mo]

I hope this means Insomniac and Sucker punch are on this too although they're third party.

I swore Sony purchased Sucker Punch.

[Takao]

All I care about are the exclusives. Not interested in PS3 ports.

I think Sony has ever ported 1 game onto handheld, and that was Parappa.

[Dreams-Visions]

I think Sony has ever ported 1 game onto handheld, and that was Parappa.

but many others tried. that was the problem.

[Blu_LED]

Umm, yeah, that ain't gonna happen. This guy has no idea what he's talking about.

[Pylon_Trooper]

New Naughty Dog kart experience...or hell, an offroad racer featuring the who's who of the Uncharted franchise. Sorta like Motorstorm meets The Cannonball Run.

[Takao]

but many others tried. that was the problem.

Sony's not in a position to throw away support. Especially given the largest franchise on PSP was born out of a port.

[Dreams-Visions]

which franchise was that? i can't remember anymore.

[Vaporizer]

polyphony and gureilla games are the studios i want badly on vita

[Pazuzu9]

You mean... UNKARTED.

[Pylon_Trooper]

For another Shellshock, right? Me too.

As long as we get our Killzone Liberation 2

You mean... UNKARTED.

Marketing. My good man, you need to be in marketing with gold like that!
