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

I was having some beers with some game industry friends last night in SF. We got to talking about the Vita and how we all like the system a lot, but we feel like it is sort of directionless. We love the indie support for it, and find remote play intriguing, but want to see Sony support it with original titles either from Japan Studio or other sources.

One of the guys that was with us is Sony PR, he got pretty shit-tanked and he spilled the beans that a new Parappa the Rappa is being worked on with really slick HD illustrations and really cool animation that totally captures the spirit of the original. Apparently Queasy Games and the Media Molecule are teaming up for this, and it uses some of the tech from Tearaway.

If this is true, thank you for telling us. If this is false, may you be forever permabanned for raising our hopes :p

What's crazy is this is one game that has never crossed my mind for being revived and yet it seems perfect for Vita and Media Molecule.

I hate you OP so much. Tugging on my heart-strings. I had just convinced myself that there was never going to be another Parappa game and here you go.

If this turns out to be false, Bish have mercy on your soul!!

Hmm the Tearaway tech does seem like it would be perfect for this, and Queasy is great at music-related stuff.

PLEASE BE TRUE.

Call me crazy but if a person is connected enough to go drinking and chatting with industry friends they are probably also smart enough to know not to post everything they hear on a forum.

Yeah seriously. Dick move. Keep shit like that to yourself.

Everyone wants to be a damned reporter with "exclusive scoops".

Last time anyone from the industry is drinking with you.

Got the funky funky flow!

My parents recorded me playing Parappa and singing along back in the day, I'll post it to GAF someday lol.
 
What a way to have a game leak lol!

I am going to hope and assume this is the small Tearaway team, and not the main Mm squad.
 
What are NanaOn-Sha up to? I don't know if anyone else could really capture the spirit of Parapa, but I'm interested in this for sure.

Also, please do something with Vib Ribbon. I love that game so much.

heh it's so weirdly specific the details too. Guess that guy won't be getting drunk and telling people secrets again though :p
 
Funny, that's actually the game I thought about when Kojima said there was something unexpected coming. Because everyone *expects* The Last Guardian.
