Nihilistic are on Resistance, Cambridge are on KZ, Tarsier are on LBP, MM are on a new IP for PSV.
Its probably nothing to do with Naughty Dog and everything to do with Sony. Sony probably wants ND working on the PS4 as opposed to the Vita.
Guys. GUYS! Sony saying you will see Naughty Dog on the Vita did not ever mean that Naughty Dog were already working on a title. Yes, some of you are right in saying "well they would never force Naughty Dog to do it for risk of blah blah blah." But that doesn't mean that Sony, as the parent company, can't strongly suggest and hint and incentivize Vita development. Shit, it really isn't even that complicated. "Wow, you Naughty Dogs sure are great! We'd really be honored if you were to make a game for the Vita! Man... that would be so AWESOME! We'd even be willing to give you X... oh, you're really interested in doing that, you say?"
Finish Last of Us and Uncharted 4 for PS4, and then evaluate where things are and a Vita game may come. Not to mention both of those other games might have Vita functionality. In fact, I will go so far to say as The Last of Us will be on the Vita in some respect.
I'm not sure really, I think it's based on job listings, as is typical.I keep hearing this, but is there official word on it?

lol, that certainly wasn't what dragged THQ down. Really poor comparison.
You just don't get how the industry works. Many people are in it because it's something they're passionate about. People join the game industry knowing there are going to be longer hours and less pay/benefits compared to a similar position in a different industry, because the tradeoff is a fun and creative environment where you can work on things you love. Now... it certainly doesn't always work that way, because I doubt anyone dreams about working on licensed dreck, but someone has to make it. Just like someone has to make the handheld games. But the people making those typically aren't the top tier talent, they're the people advancing their careers to move up and out of that. The best and brightest of the industry don't have to work on projects that don't interest them, and their talent is such that they can dictate that... and that's part of the allure of the job.
Sure, there are some people out there who truly love handhelds, and there are some people out there who get a kick out of seeing how much they can draw out of less powerful hardware, but it simply isn't something that motivates the majority of western developers.
Massa said:I think Amy Hennig is essential to the Uncharted franchise. Without her writing Uncharted 3 would get slaughtered for the mediocre game that it is.
You think that's the case, but you will be surprised. Uncharted 3 writing was just mediocre.

I think you two are actually in agreement on that, though I could be wrong...

ND needs to be grinding at that Uncharted 4 for PS4 launch day if Sony has any smarts left in dem dare heads.

it's on their job advert, making new unique ip for handheld.
Naughty Dog has made a name for themselves. People will by games for being made by them similar to Valve or Bethesda. Personally I would like Uncharted to be laid to rest for a while and see a new IP developed. Unless we start seeing some huge innovations within the Uncharted franchise.
In before DCharlie spin.
What's there to spin?
Naughty Dog are a AAA+ grade dev house and their not currently making a mobile game - it's a disappointment.
*shrug*
also - since when am i the Sony/Vita spokesman?? I know i'm apparently "in every Vita thread" but so are several doom merchants and i don't think i've spat any wild defense other than to laugh at the doom peddlers.
I'm also in most if not all 3DS threads pimping away - how come i didn't get the spokesman job for that ?
I just tease, don't get so worked up
It's okay - i'm going to permaban you over at that other place
I -still- don't know why/how i've not got the 3DS ambassador role yet! I've been plugging away since pre-launch! I need to up my C R A Z EE E E levels, i think i'm too sedate for that crowd.
You're a mod at <that other place>? Oh fuuu
Didn't you know, supporting both Vita and 3DS is unheard of. You gotta pick a side!
