This is going to be so gorgeous on the Vita's screen.
Weird to put 'Tactics' in the title though, the game was already 500% tactical.

Awesome, Frozen Synapse is fucking awesome. Good to see it getting to a wider audience.
Totally rebuying a Vita this week.

Yes, please! Day 1 for Vita.
YES. YES.gif
I guess I can stop worrying about how little I played the Steam version. But now I gotta worry about how little I play the PS3/portable version.
(Well that and lack of balance due to LOL RANDOM MAPS that may trap a unit in a room)

Mode 7 Games are one the greatest success stories not often told in indie gaming. On their second release, they managed to create a stunning and critically-acclaimed game...not just any game, but a strategy game no less. No artsy fartsy platformer.
They supported PC, Mac and Linux...have an iOS version in the works, and now - through Double Eleven - are going console.
Incredible upward swing.

They rebuild the game for Vita, so there is a lot to fuck up. If its as good as the pc game, this will be GOTY. FS is the BEST mp turn based game after chess.
I want to beta test this so bad. Hopefully, I can get in that.

Amazing news! I'll definitely pick this up for the Vita. The only part of this that worries me a bit is this:
I wonder what their impression of a "Playstation audience" is?

Considering how brilliantly they handled LBP Vita, I really don't think there's any reason to doubt them.
Fantastic news. I've played my Steam version WAY too little, so a portable experience will be nice.

Is it me or has the number of Vita games coming this year doubled since the beginning of the week?
TBH, I feel a little less gloomy about it than a week ago.
Also, as someone who really liked FS on PC, color me interested.

Oooh, very cool news. I've been eyeing the Steam version for a while, guess I'll hold off a little longer then.
I have to say, with this, Snapshot, Binding of Isaac, Sound Shapes and so on, I'm really excited about the Vita's burgeoning catalogue of indie games. I'm hoping this is something that Sony is seriously putting effort behind; I'm salivating just thinking of the idea of being able to play Proteus or Antichamber or Hotline Miami or FTL on a handheld.

I love FTL and the other games you mentioned QUITE a bit, but FS on Vita? Thats the jackpot right there. Although I wouldnt mind even more of these games of course.
And yet there's an average of two dozen players that remain on the FS servers...which is sad but I feel they really didn't engage the MP community as they should have
Good god Vita's dropping bombs straight out of my wishlist this week.
Binding of Isaac and Frozen Synapse were two indie games from Steam that I've repeatedly said Sony should be going at hard, now both are happening.
Very interesting that Double Eleven is doing it. After LBP Vita's high level of praise you'd think they'd have something bigger in the pipe, but then this likely won't be too man power intensive. A Sony Europe executive being quoted in the release really makes you wonder just how much push Sony has been putting behind things like this.
Need a Minecraft Vita port SO BAD now though.

Random maps that trap units that could counter an RPG unit kinda does that to you, yo.
(Well that and other modes besides the PEW PEW PEW deathmatch one aren't really explained too well)
Got you kinda covered

This happens so rarely that its basically a non issue. They could have even patched that problem by now. I know this problem existed, but I havent encountered it even once myself in 200 hours of playing the game.

Honestly this is my first time hearing about this issue and I've put in so many hours and had it since day one. I never encountered it once

But don't forget that one terrific aspect of FS was the asynchronous multiplayer. I don't have time to faff about in real-time multiplayer gaming most days of the week...but if I can log a turn in the morning with my coffee, then log off? That's the business.
That said, I reckon the iPad version will explode and be the shot in the arm the online component needs.

When put this way, I really, really wouldn't mind my Vita becoming an independent game machine.

atleast add the pretty picture
True. Well I was never really worried about content tbh. This console seems to be getting lovely small games out of nowhere.
And omg. Frozen Synapse. GOTY 2011. I cant tell you how much this made my day/week/month. Chances are I might be getting into some Beta testing. Wish me luck.
