@Gamer83 Bend is working on a PS4 game now. It's clear that Sony is done supporting Vita. This interview only supports that, as there are multiple mentions to unannounced PS4 projects, when everything Vita related is public knowledge.

The big Vita IP he's talking about is Freedom Wars. It was in the sentence before what Gematsu quoted.

@Lionhart Sony Santa Monica isn't going to even touch Vita. The only handheld game they developed was some NeoPets game years ago. The two PSP God of War games were made by Ready At Dawn, who are working on The Order.

@Legendaryboss How did I push the goal posts? You said Bend could be developing for both platforms, and I gave reasons as to why that was highly unlikely to happen.

You then said that a platform is only truly dead when it's discontinued and I provided reasons as to why that could be a likely scene to play out with Vita. This is an English site, so the efforts made by SCEJA won't ever be appreciated when all of the support they can muster are games that only sell in their region. The United States of America happens to be the largest single market for video games in the world. It also happens to be the country that houses the development studio that this article is devoted to. When you don't advertise the platform at all, nor announce any games developed to appeal to that market you've given up and that is clearly what Sony has done.

@Legendaryboss I don't know what to believe, a job listing from over a year ago, or a comment for SCE's head of Worldwide Studios from Thursday. It's not like this industry quietly cancels games all the tim... oh wait, they do.

If Bend were working on a Vita game it would've been announced by now. They shipped Uncharted: Golden Abyss back in late 2011 to meet Vita's Japanese launch. Your comment about Tearaway is a bit misguided given that project was publicly announced a year into development, and has a smaller scope than anything Bend has done before. We would know what their next Vita game is by now if it existed.

SCE's western support for Vita is done. SCEA didn't advertise the platform at all this year, and gave it about as much time at E3 as they devoted to direct digs at Microsoft. Conversely, they've announced zero big western internally development projects for the platform. They've taken a huge **** on the userbase that probably is made up of their most devoted users.

@Legendaryboss Bend is about 60 people. They cannot do both. This is the end for Vita. SCE owned two handheld dedicated studios. They shut one of them down, and now the other is making console games.

Sony owns Gran Turismo. PS4 sales are currently at 0. Do you think a Gran Turismo game isn't in development for that platform? The fact that Vita doesn't have a GT is as big an indictment of Sony not caring about this platform than anything else.

@Legendaryboss Congrats, you've listed pretty much every third party game announced for western release. That entire list combined probably won't even sell a million units in the west, which shows how great support really is.

As for those Sony published games, did you miss the part where I said western studios? I never knew Gravity Rush 2 (which isn't confirmed for Vita btw), Soul Sacrifice Delta, and Freedom Wars were western titles. The actual western stuff you mentioned is either trash like Vita Pets, or ports like Borderlands. Amazing support. Sony will sell 30 million Vitas with that lineup.

I would sell my Vita, but if you haven't noticed, because of Sony's poor treatment of the platform resale prices are incredibly low. I made the mistake of buying a Vita at launch, so I'd be taking a gigantic bath trying to sell it.

Ubisoft reported that Rayman Legends sold poorly across all platforms. In fact, in North America the Wii U version sold the best which should tell you something. I guess the poor sales explain why Ubisoft has not patched in the missing content from the Vita version.

You know what I expected Vita to be? A successor to the PSP. Big and exclusive games from Rockstar, Capcom, Square Enix, Konami, alongside quality new IPs and console spinoffs from Sony. What I've gotten is an landfill for late indie ports.

@ajaychitown Is this a joke? Did you watch their E3 presentation where they spent a grand total of about 5 minutes on the entire platform to announce ports of years old PS3 games and nothing else? Did you watch their Gamescom presentation where everything was either available on PS3/PS4 or as inconsequential as Big Fest, and Murasaki Baby? The only place they didn't just give the platform lipservice was at TGS, and even then the majority of the content announced was shared with PS3 or PS4. The examples you listed are hilarious. Killzone? That game came out last month, and was announced in 2011. LittleBigPlanet? That came out last year, with LBP Hub being a PS3-only thing. Ratchet & Clank? Are you referring to the abysmal port of Full Frontal Assault? The one that runs at subnative resolution, and struggles to hit even 15fps? If you are, you should know that's one of the worst ports released by a first party, and came out months ago. I know you're not referring to Into the Nexus, because that's a PS3 exclusive too.

The fact of the matter is that Vita's situation is abysmal. It has pretty much 0 third party support, and first party support from their western studios will hit 0 once Tearaway launches. It has next to nothing in regards to third party support because sales are horrific, and if Sony's not making any games for it that won't change. Bend Studio making a PS4 game is pretty much an indication of Sony throwing in the towel as far as the west is concerned. Bend have been handheld exclusive for nearly 10 years now. They were so integral to the handheld side of Sony that when third parties were having issues with developing PSP games Bend would often help out. I guess that's not needed though, since the only people in the west making Vita games are indies who aren't exactly pushing the hardware.

@Lelouch This is an English site. You know how many of those games have been announced for western release? ZERO. Besides that, none of those games would've been made by SCE Bend, nor would any of those games replace whatever it is they're working on..
