As it turned out; we had no need to worry, because Golden abyss is fantastic, but it still leaves Vita fans around the world wondering when they will get to see a Naughty dog developed Vita game.
It seemed Naughty dog fans would soon get the news they longed to hear yesterday, when gaming site Eurogamer spoke with Guy Longsworth, Sony vice president of PS brand marketing. Longsworth asured gamers that all their top studios, including Naughty dog, would be supporting PSVita in the future.
However, this may not turn out to be the case. Today, Naughty dog have responded to Longsworth's comments and things do not seem so positive. Anne Meyer of Naughty dog states;
"We're not working on anything for PS Vita,"
Ouch. That is pretty clear to us at this stage, but will they support the handheld in the future;
"I won't say never, ever, but there's no plans for it right now - we've always felt that consoles play to our strengths as a studio the best."
Meyer explained further: "I hate to sound like a treading the line spin-meister here, but I've said that traditionally consoles have played to our strengths - and desires to push the utmost limit of resources and memory our tech and engine.
"That can change with the right handheld, [that's] why I said I won't ever say 'never'. But we haven't encountered that yet - that's why Jak [& Daxter: The Last Frontier] wasn't an internal project for us.
"Of course, I should have expected the GAF hyperbole to go from there - but we've never made a handheld game, so us saying we're not working on anything at the moment shouldn't be some earth shattering surprise."
Not great news then for those, like us, who looked forward to seeing what the elite studio could achieve on a portable platform. Fingers crossed they change their minds.
