Take-Two and Sony have yet to sign a deal regarding Irrational Games' BioShock Vita installation – yes, the one that Irrational co-founder Ken Levine announced way back at E3 2011 (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/06/bioshock-universe-game-coming-to-ngp/). Levine told IGN (http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/25/bioshock-infinites-ken-levine-on-ps4-vita-and-marketing) that while he wanted to see BioShock on Vita happen, it was out of his hands.
"I've got my fingers crossed that that's going to happen because it's something I want to do, but until somebody starts signing the checks, there's nothing I can do," Levine said. Later he continued, "At the end of the day, I work for Take-Two and they need to be able to fund that development, and they need to make sure they have a deal in place that makes sense for them and makes sense for Sony."
In March 2012, Levine expressed regret (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/08/levine-wants-to-show-you-bioshock-on-vita-not-talk-about-it/) over announcing BioShock Vita without anything to show for it.
"I ideally wouldn't have talked about the Vita game when I did," he told Joystiq. "It was understandably important that, you know, Sony wanted us to share that information." The information that Irrational wants to create a BioShock Vita game is vastly different than Irrational actually developing one, of course.
