BioShock Vita could still happen… providing Sony gives the project the thumbs up.
Announced in summer 2011, BioShock on Vita has, as of February this year (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/bioshock-vita-is-still-not-in-development/0111464), still not entered production. But Irrational Games dev Ken Levine says it’s not for want of trying.
“I am literally trying to make a match between the parties [Sony and Irrational],” he told Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/ken-levine-is-still-trying-to-bring-a-bioshock-game-to-989159128). “They have to agree and it has to be a business deal. I’ve been trying to do that for a very long time. I’ve still very much engaged in that. I can’t personally greenlight the thing myself.
“I have conversations. I’ve talked to all the parties in the past couple of weeks.”
How long this situation can persevere – and indeed, how long a triple-A Vita game remains a viable prospect – is certainly up for debate. It’s safe to say that if this game hopes for a realistic chance of arriving a deal needs to be struck sooner rather than later.
