WipeEout 2048 to PS3!

[ZixXer]

Hi

I have just seen a trailer:
http://www.gamer.nl/video/101867/ont...-de-ps-vita-is
were they show the ps vita and stuff. on 1:06 they show crossplay of games and you see first wipeout 2048 on a new 2048 track and then they switch to the ps3 on the same 2048 track! so that means if there not lying that we get a new ps3 wipeout JAY!

I sure hope you're right!

Praise the Lord!! Amen!

[xifdo]

I begin to pray, hope for good

I really, really hope you are correct, but as much as I want to believe that commercial for the VITA showing the whole game is cross compatible, I think it could just as easily be a mistake made by the people that made the ad as it's a composite with inserted video.

I'll really believe it when I see either a E3 type video of the NEW tracks in 2048 running on a large screen [since VITA has no video out it would prove that the new tracks in the game would have to be running on a PS3] or read it on a PS blog or the like.

I just pooped myself. That is awesome.

Putting 2048 on PS3 is a guaranteed way to help PS Vitas collect dust on store shelves.

And highly unlikely to happen, sorry.

@RJ O'Connell

Exactly!

When the PSP came out, alot of games came out on the PSP and the PS2 at the same time and many people bought the PSP anyway. The same may happen the PSV.

I'm not, I repeat, NOT going to buy another portable console!!

[RJ O'Connell]

Then don't, I repeat, DON'T buy a PSV. My point is that it would be a terrible business decision to port it over to PS3 without giving the game at least a year as a Vita exclusive, if at all.

[Xpand]

Hey! You didn't have to go all Italic on me!!

[DarkRacer95]

I know for a fact it wont be on ps3 when the psv launches. if i have to wait, i'll just wait. if it doesn't come out on ps3 at all, i'll save up and buy the psv.

I prefer you don't buy a PS Vita because you don't want to buy another portable console, than you and lot of players don't buy a PS Vita because they can play the same games on their PS3 !!!

I think this game will come to PS3 eventually, it would be pretty stupid of Sony not to do that IMO, however Sony are known for stupid decisions when it comes to Wipeout so it's anyones guess what they will do.

I agree that the game will most likely have exclusivity to the PSV for a time, but lets face it, hand helds are a niche market and they don't sell as well as consoles. I have never bought a handheld, and I certainly would'nt buy one just so I could play this game. But I would buy it on my PS3... Just saying

[MrSmadSmartAlex]

Dunno about handhelds being niche... the PSP has apparently outsold the PS3 by well over 17,000,000, despite pretty bad support from Sony. And the Vita will likely be more successful, as they've matched the competition's price this time, while keeping their large advantage in power. Now all they need is plenty of great exclusive games.

I do agree that it'd be wise to release this on PS3 eventually, though, after things with Vita have settled down. Some people just aren't going to buy a handheld, so there's no point losing sales by denying them certain games forever.

I'm going to wait to see how good 2048 looks. If it's good enough (and there are at least a few other games I want), I'll get a Vita, as I prefer handhelds anyway (convenience/laziness ). If not, I might finally buy a PS3.
