Naughty Dog not developing for PS Vita

21 February 2012

If you were expecting to play a new Jak & Daxter on your PS Vita any time soon, better make other plans – because Naughty Dog has other plans too. The studio has confirmed that, for the moment at least, it’s staying with big console development instead.

“We’re not working on anything for PS Vita,” Naughty Dog’s community guy Arne Meyer explained on NeoGAF.

“I won’t say never, ever, but there’s no plans for it right now – we’ve always felt that consoles play to our strengths as a studio the best.”

He was responding to a claim by Sony‘s senior vice president of PlayStation brand marketing, Guy Longsworth, who told GameTrailers in a recent interview that fans would “see a number of games coming out from all of our studios”, including Naughty Dog.

“I hate to sound like a treading the line spin-meister here, but I’ve said that traditionally consoles have played to our strengths – and desires to push the utmost limit of resources and memory our tech and engine,” added Meyer.

Although an Uncharted: Golden Abyss is already available on PS Vita, the game was developed by SCE Bend Studio, with Naughty Dog’s team supervising.
