Sounds like the Vita as well.

That was the point....

[Rand6]

So they used the Vita just to be noticed? WTF ?
I found this kind of practice repulsive...

[Salih]

Playstation Mors™.

I don't think the changed thread title is adequately summarizing the OP.

Clearly this is not just about the game slide, but also about the 8 minute gameplay trailer that says the game is only coming out on Vita.

[DoctorWho]

Wait, what is the issue? Seems like the developer said "we can put this on the Vita if a publisher wants to" and Sony took that to mean its coming. Am I missing something? Pretty silly of Sony to latch on to anything that suggests a game might come to Vita. If Sony wants it on Vita they should work with who ever the current publisher is

I get the impression the OP wants us to take this as another sign that the Vita is going to die a horrible retail death by Christmas. Sony will shed tears and go out of business.

All because something was incorrectly placed in a slide when there was no publisher for it on Vita. This is barely thread worthy.

How many gameplay trailers have we seen for vaporware that hasn't seen the light of day? This isn't really concerning. Sucks for the people who were looking forward to it though.

If that was all that happened that would indeed not be threadworthy.

Now if a game is announced for one platform (let's call it platform A), then switches to another platform (let's call it platform B) while people anticipate it on platform A that's quite shitty.

And when Alan Wake dropped the PC-compatible symbol from their pre-release media people were outraged. I understand that this is not Alan Wake, but the principle is the same.

I think some GAFfer or other confirmed a few months ago that it was in active development, albeit at Ubisoft Sofia, which is decidedly a B-team. But if it doesn't show up at E3, it might be in trouble.

Why not just port ACIII? :/ Ubisoft, start making sense...

I don't think the Vita could realistically handle AC3 without major compromises.

Wouldn't the tread title be better as "Alien Spidy not coming out for Vita as announced".

[Father_Brain]

I don't think the Vita could realistically handle AC3 without major compromises.

And this is why there have been so few PS3/360/Vita multiplatform titles announced. Well, in addition to apparent publisher/developer disinterest in the platform, anyway.

[benny_a]

Wouldn't the tread title be better as "Alien Spidy not coming out for Vita as announced".

Yeah. That would be a thread title change that I can get behind. Not the misleading current one.

[saichi]

FOR VITA!

[Arpeggio23]

Well, Shigeru Miyamoto said that the Vita does not have enough games.

I have more games for my Vita, which has been out in the USA for less than 3 months, than I do for my 3DS, which I bought on launch day over a year ago.

[OldJadedGamer]

This is why you don't trust logos on a screen before launch. A game is Vaporware until someone from outside the developer or publisher gets to play it.

[semiconscious]

Reading this made me cringe. FFS

good rule of thumb for those 'not really sure this's worthy of a new topic' moments:

It's better to not say anything and let people think you are a fool, than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

[Lord Error]

That's too bad, it looked like a better fit for a portable game than a PS3 game to be honest.

On the other hand, I'm not sure if Unity even supports Vita at this point (almost certan that it doesn't) so it was to be expected they wouldn't be bringing it there right now.

[VicViper]

Hmm, it's actually pretty easy to understand what happened:

1. Developer (Enigma) pitches game to Sony
2. Sony thinks this is perfect fit for Vita, considers publishing, advertises it
3. Third party publisher (Kalypso) picks up and signs title for PC/Steam, XBLA, PSN, not interested in Vita
4. Kalypso gets to post a PS Blog article, tells the honest truth about what went down (1.-3.)
5. NeoGAF thread created
6. Spidy

...

7. Kalypso releases Tropico 5

[Salvadora]

I think this happened with the 3DS as well. Never trust logo's.

[shagg_187]

Don't know hat the fuck is happening in OP.

[Father_Brain]

Yep. There'll undoubtedly be a fair few Wii U titles "announced" at E3 that we'll never hear about again.
