PlayStation Vita deployment for Unity is here
- Thread starter Glass Rebel
- Start date
Not yet, but they might. As it only came out today, I don't think Sony would be in a position to announce anything like that yet.
In case anyone is wondering, here's a list of games that have been or are being developed via Unity:

Lots of potential there.

But what do Unity want in fee's? I have always wondered this for all the consoles they support, I can find no public info about this at all.

More indie games on the Vita is always great news, hope we see the results bear fruit this year.
1,500 for Unity Pro with some additional fees depending on the platform. Vita platform doesn't have a separate package so I imagine it would be 1,500.
I'm thinking more along the lines of Might and Magic X on the Vita.
I'd probably die from happiness.
Pavillion looks awesome, but I only saw three total titles, two of which I'd heard of before. Is there an updated list anywhere?
Is this enough for you?
It look there isn't an option to buy the license for consoles (you may have to sign a contract with Sony/MS/Nintendo) but they are probably the same prices as the one mentioned: 1500$

I know the Unity pro fee, but this does not cover additional platforms, for example I believe it's £400 a piece for both iOS and Android individually. The prices for consoles seem to be hidden from public, but I am 100% certain they exist. I just want to know what they actually are.
As above, I want the actual console fees. But as you say it likely requires a contract of some sort, it just seems a bit underhanded that they publicise fee's for everything but consoles, which they are loud about supporting. If I make a game for PC on the basis that I can port to consoles, I need to know sooner rather than later if it's going to cost £10k to do it in fees.
Yay iOS ports!
This isn't sarcasm, there are some really great iOS games that would do well on Vita (Deus Ex: The Fall for example).
I'm starting to come around to this view too. I find I enjoy smaller indie titles more on my Vita given the time/place I play it.
If I really want to play a big AAA title, it is best done on a console with a nice TV and time to sit and play. I don't usually have time for that though.

Mmmmmmmm, dat Vita Unity
Shahid you have 1 job. Make Vita my portable indie gogo girl.
Sony you have another job. Make sales. Lots of them.
Wallet you too have a job. Don't go empty on me dammit.
FUCK. YES. I was really resistant at first but I am embracing indie-vita. I blame Spelunky and Hotline Miami for making train trips to manhatten such a joy.

Very good news! Looking forward to future game announcements.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
IIRC Assault Android Cactus is a unity game.
Yay for (first) final releaseSony are really on track with their Unity support. I must say it's pretty rad to see a Unity PC game running on a Vita, one of my happier and more memorable moments
Weird question but when AAC was announced for Vita, was this based on the promise of the Unity vita deployment?
Not that it really matters but does make sense when so many games was announced for PS4/ PSV.
Is Deus Ex built with Unity? It doesn't appear on that list.
Wow, there is a lot of amazing stuff there. It'll be cool if we got some of those good iOS F2P games for a decent prize without microtransactions.
Maybe we could ask Shahid.

There are a lot of games that are built with Unity not on the list.
My own game. The process to get it 'running' was pretty simple too, as you would expect from Unity with its history of being a similar experience on every platform.
Really hope this news opens the floodgates on people bringing their games to Vita, it's one of my favorite systems ever and there are a ton of games that imo would work best in a portable form factor. Plus it has dual analogues and multiple touch screens so the only thing that wouldn't make sense is a heavy KB/Mouse designed game.
Yeah we talked with Sony/Nintendo/Unity before making any announcements, even though I know people who could help port it out to C++ it just doesn't make sense financially or time wise, unless you're a significantly popular game anyway.
Well ya, there are a few official Unity games already coming to Vita like Assault Android Cactus (yay)... I was just hoping for some other reveal. :lol
This COULD lead to a lot of really good games on Vita.

Hopefully this nudges Blizzard towards a Hearthstone port.

That is a great idea, he should know right? Is it better to PM him here, or setup a twitter to shout him?

Wow, awesome news! Hoping for a Gone Home port.

Not on a blanket basis, no. But it's clear that they have people like Shahid out there offering various kinds of incentives to developers who impress them. Help covering the Unity license was one of the things the developer of Energy Hook suggested to Shahid would make him do a Vita port for example, and it looks like that worked out for him.

Would Rust work with Vita controls?

Sadly nope. Last I heard it was much higher than that. Not sure if the license agreement changed since alpha stages though.

No excuse not to get Might and Magic X on Vita, then. Would work so well.
shahid is seriously the best
Looks like console specific license fees aren't publicly available.
I'm sure we can find out though. I would hope that SCE would provide support to certain impressive devs. (no offense to any dev who doesn't get support from SCE)

This is my concern. By holding this info back, they are asking console developers to jump on board without the same transparency Unity have with other platforms. It could be a real financial issue, that doesn't come to light until agreements are being made, and that is bad for planning business. It may be the case that someone can just reach out and ask, but it is concerning.
