PS Vita: General Discussion

[Codey47]

"In a new European PlayStation Blog post for Alien Spidy, Kalypso product manager Andrew McKerrow admitted that their upcoming platformer isn’t actually coming to PlayStation Vita. He said that the developers at Enigma Software were looking to get the attention of any and every publisher, and pitched the game on practically every platform. Alien Spidy is actually going to launch on PlayStation Network for PS3, Xbox Live Arcade, and on PC next month. While a Vita version isn’t currently in development the crew aren’t ruling it out.

Vita followers will remember the platformer for dazzling us with its unique concept, and beautiful graphics when it was announced at Sony’s Gamescom 2011 presentation. Yes, a game not coming to Vita was announced for Vita during a Sony press conference. We at Near Vita find this news disturbing. We realize that getting the attention of big publishers is difficult, but outright lying to a platform holder, and then to potential customers just for attention is downright terrible. If this game was on a platform only during publisher pitches, don’t allow it to be showcased in media events, and don’t release trailers for the general public to see."

sounds pretty similar to the fact that Dust 514 may not be coming to the Vita either. it will only most likely have tools in which you can edit your character for the PS3 version...

looks like I'll be buying a PS3 then

I have to say I'm pretty annoyed by this !!!!

In the run up to the vita being released this was one of the games I was wanting to buy for my vita and I really hoped it would be released at some point during the launch period for the vita.

Now finding out that Alien spidy is not coming to vita I feel mislead both by the developer and by Sony who didn't put us straight that the game was not being considered for vita and the developer was just riding media hype to gain recognition.
For being mislead like I was I think I'll pass on alien spidy unless a vita version does get released as I feel after the lies the developer told they do t deserve my cash unless it's for a vita version that was announced and promised.

Somebody should let Sony know as their is a big page on their vita site about this games

Sony need to get the developer/publisher to get a grip of reality and get this game on vita as its such a great concept that it's too big a chance for both enigma and Sony to pass up in my view anyway.
