PS Vita Devs Will More With PS3 Experiment Because Of Wii U

There are some similarities between Wii U and PS Vita if you combined the latter with PS3, and because of it, SCE Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida believes it’ll cause PS Vita devs to experiment with the handheld console even more.

That’s what he said while speaking to Develop at E3, adding it was very interesting the route Nintendo’s taken with its latest console.

“It is very interesting the ways that Nintendo went with Wii U, and I was surprised it wasn’t exactly as it had been rumored,” he said.

“Already people are starting to ask about linking Vita and PS3 to do something similar, in terms of using two screens, and having controls on the screen.

That’s very interesting, and we will have to experiment.”

He also confirmed that what Nintendo demoed yesterday was already being explored on PS Vita and PS3.

“Lots of the things that developers of Vita games are doing, as you may have seen, is experimenting with connectivities between Vita and PS3.

… The Wipeout [2048] team came up with their cross play ideas, and the other Vita teams have come up with ways of playing with two systems.

It’s just a matter of time, as we provide the SDKs to developers so they can make use of both PS3 and Vita, and they might come up with something interesting.”

Some of PS Vita games already include cross-platform play, one of them being Wipeout 2048.
