A new job posting discovered today suggests that the role of a Software Engineer will be responsible for optimising and tuning the game resource system for the PS VITA and interfacing the game engine with several parts of the VITA OS.

Interestingly, the role also indicates some kind of cross-platform play. Implementing interoperation between PS3 and the VITA is also listed as a responsibility.

My guess is probably something Need for Speed related.

Need for Speed works for me (I love me some Burnout though).

More games for Vita = a good thing. Not too fussed about x-platform play but I'm sure I'm in the minority.

Burnout Crash port.

impact · May 16, 2012

Please be NFS and not Burnout

Criminal Upper · May 16, 2012

A port for sure, most likely Paradise, or whatever new racer they're working on.

Thanks Mr Optimistic!

MeBecomingI · May 16, 2012

Screw Need for Speed and give me Burnout Paradise 2 on the Vita with cross play with the PS3 and my life will be complete.

It'll never happen... I'll take anything, though! Give me a game, Criterion!

Ein Bear · May 16, 2012

Put Burnout Paradise on the Vita, and you can have all my money.

Pie and Beans · May 16, 2012

Portable Burnout is the joy of all joys. Especially Road Rage. More 3 and Revenge style though please.

Also get Dominator up and running on the EU Vita store in the mean time please.

Lagspike_exe · May 16, 2012

I would kill for a portable Burnout.

Totobeni · May 16, 2012

Burnout Paradise 2 please.

A Burnout game (not Crash) would sell me a Vita. Do it Criterion!

professor_t · May 16, 2012

So, is this interplay Sony's impending innovation that they touted?

So amazing. Still my favorite game this gen. My ultimate gaming wish is for a sequel, this gen or next I don't care. More open world Burnout please

Ninja Scooter · May 16, 2012

How about some true cross platform play that doesn't require you to spend nearly $100 buying the same game twice? Otherwise Sony should just kill this feature and stop using it as a selling point because nobody will be interested.

Acquiescence · May 16, 2012

A new Burnout Vita game in the same vein as Point Of Impact/Takedown/Revenge?! Yes-fucking-please!

The only burnout i finished ..A one of those games where dlc was really DLC

cuyahoga · May 16, 2012

It's a contract position, so I'm guessing just a mobile take on their new NFS.

SmokyDave · May 16, 2012

Want: Burnout 2 HD Remake.
Expect: The next NFS title.

KAL2006 · May 16, 2012

Burnout Legends 2 please

Well I'm interested in buying SFxT Vita even though I own PS3 versions. I do agree I expect a discount for buying both, but I don't expect to get one version free as it takes resources to make both ports, making a PS3 version doesn't mean they press one button to make a Vita version instantly. Though Sony have few games in the works that you get 2 for one (Warrior's Lair, Some WipeOut tracks, MotorStorm RC, DLC on various games, Hustle Kings, Top Darts).

AlphaTwo00 · May 16, 2012

BLACK 2? Hahaha.

Whatever it is, I'll look forward to it (especially given that Criterion have had no hand in the PSP/DS games before)

digita1alchemy · May 16, 2012

If it is a Burnout game in the style of 2 or 3 I will buy it at a high price.

Cornbread78 · May 16, 2012

Burnout Paradise portable with cross platform play would be great as long as it has it's own trophy set.

phosphor112 · May 16, 2012

I've been wanting a racing game on there that wasn't Ridge Racer.

Shinriji · May 16, 2012

Burnout Paradise 2. My body and wallet is ready.

Liamario · May 16, 2012

Burnout is the perfect game for Vita. Make it so

Definitely my favorite, although I think NFS HP 2 is an even better game.

Tallshortman · May 16, 2012

Oh wow this looks awesome. I hope it's a burnout game though a really great NFS would be awesome too.

ThoughtsOfSpeaking · May 16, 2012

I'll take a burnout dominator 2 thanks.

ReaperXL7 · May 16, 2012

Personally id love to see a new ip from Criterion, but if it were a sequel to burnout paradise or black id be close to just as happy with it. I'm expecting a port of whatever thir console game is this year. Could be paradise 2, but it will probably be need for speed related.

Orayn · May 16, 2012

I will accept TRANSFARING in my Burnout Paradise 2.

YES. Burnout 2 fans unite. The others are good (well, I found Revenge to be a bit of a misfire...traffic checking!?), but Burnout 2 is the cleanest and most wonderful.

Big Surf Shores. Big. Surf. Shores.

Someone who liked Hot Pursuit way more than Paradise. Open world was shit, fake cars were disappointing.

twinturbo2 · May 16, 2012

It's probably a PS Vita port of NFS Most Wanted 2.

I'm okay with this.

Himynameischris · May 16, 2012

NEEDS to be Burnout it's been so long!! Even a port of 3 would be amazing.
