New Parapa the Rappa game for VIta / PS4 via Media Molecule and indies? - Rumor

Taken from the awesome fan art thread:

This wasn't fan art. it was concept art.

Not an asshole.
It may be a dick move to spill the beans on what my friend said, but I always thought it was kinda silly how the industry controls its messaging so much.

It's ridiculous how free information is within the industry while the fans are left to speculate and wait for manicured announcements in the service of marketing and hype trains.

Just my .02

PS also I imagine the original creators will be involved in some capacity. Didn't really ask about that though, but it's somewhat like how Nintendo handled Punchout or Luigi's Mansion 3DS.

Back in September 2011, Matsuura said it could come back on Vita. That said, am I the only one finding it kind of dubious that a studio in Toronto would be working with a studio in the UK? You don't often see cross continental game development.

Queasy doing the development on MM's engine?

Man, i hope not. Poor MM :( They should be doing something new, creative and different. Not making Parapper the Rapper.

Everyone asked for it and no one will buy it.

It's one of those games I feel that would have to be priced accordingly on a budget release in order to even sell half-decently, like Puppeteer ($40) or Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus ($30) price assuming it would be in retail and not digitally only or something.

If you can name a game more creative and different than one starring a paper-thin dog rapping to get a flower to love him then I would like to hear it.

My thoughts exactly.

As long as Matsuura is on board, my body is fucking ready.

Parapper is awesome, and someone should do it... But not MM. They're far more too creative to be doing this.
Media Molecule hasn't made a game that is even close to as creative and brilliant as UmJammer Lammy.

But making another game starring a paper thin dog rapping to get a flower to love him isn't exactly creative is it?

I mean, they left LBP behind so they could continue to do creative things. To instead go back and make a sequel to a different series would be a little silly.

However, I can see it's an unpopular opinion so i'll shut up :p

Sounds legit.
Shh, no reality. There is only hope now.

Also, this doesn't need to be a budget title. If you'll only buy this game for $20, you're part of the problem. If this is done right, it would be basically better than anything Sony has done in the last... 10 years? It's worth $30. It's worth $50. It's worth buying a PS4 and a Vita for.

I want it. I am throwing money at my phone and it's not giving it to me.
