A version of EA shooter Titanfall was at one stage proposed for PlayStation Vita.
That’s one of many revelations in Geoff Keighley's recently released documentary The Final Hours of Titanfall (http://finalhoursoftitanfall.com/), as reported by GameSpot (http://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-and-pc-game-titanfall-was-originally-prototyped-running-on-a-ratchet-clank-engine/1100-6419042/).
Apparently after hearing of the specs for Xbox One Respawn got in touch with Sony to try and ascertain the PS4 specs. Says the site: “Sony was not willing to talk specs yet and instead offered to help Respawn make a PlayStation Vita version of Titanfall.”
Respawn admitted in October that the decision to make the game and Xbox exclusive was taken without its knowledge (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/titanfall-to-stay-off-ps4-for-life-respawn-wasn-t-aware-of-exclusivity-deal/0123431)– a move EA described as a “tactical opportunity” (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/titanfall-xbox-exclusivity-a-tactical-opportunity-but-playstation-release-not-out-of-the-question/0117147).
Rumours last month suggested that EA has already agreed (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/ea-secured-as-titanfall-2-publisher-ditches-microsoft-exclusivity-report/0129883) to publish Titanfall 2 on Xbox One and PS4.
