There’s been a niggling rumour regarding the possibility of a PlayStation Vita version of inFAMOUS for months and months now, but game director Nate Fox may have inadvertently strengthened that speculation during an interview with DualShockers TV. Asked about a handheld instalment of the superhero series as part of a question and answer at GamesCom, the Sucker Punch man got fairly flustered, even cringing as he appeared to accidentally indicate that a portable title’s in production.
“Right now we’re only talking about the PS4 game,” he said, grimacing. “I would love to talk you about any Vita related titles when – or, er, if the time comes.”
Of course, it’s not a confirmation by any stretch. However, immediately after he’s finished talking, Fox wears the face of a man who’s just said something that he shouldn’t – and we don't think that we're reading too much into it. There’s a definite insinuation from the developer that something is in the pipeline for the handheld, which is only going to fuel the aforementioned rumours. Would you like to test your superhero skills on the move? Let us know in the comments section below.

With all the hype n furore surrounding Second-Son I could see a Vita spint off for the Infamous series shifting a few units at least. Wouldn't be a bad idea to have one in production by any means
@MadchesterManc Yeah, I agree. I think that it's clear that Sony's really trying to push this franchise, so a Vita spin-off would make sense. I wonder if Sony Bend could be working on it?
@get2sammyb It would have to be a studio with some pedigree in doing handheld games, especially if it ends up tieing in with Second-Son. Sony Bend wouldn't be a bad shout with how well they translated Uncharted to Vita
Please be true. The guys who made God of war on vita maybe?
Off topic i have killzone mercenary!!
Edit psp
@Sanquine God of War on PSP? They're making The Order: 1886!
@get2sammyb MM also makes a PS4 game. They are also doing tear away!
@Sanquine That's... actually a very fair point!
i hope this rumour is true
I would LOVE this.
As I mentioned before, they could do an alternate story where the bad ending happens from infamous 2, instead of the good one like in second son.
@ztpayne7. Cole becomes that ******?
i definitely want a inFamous game on Vita, inFamous is a great series, love playing those games
Although we need as many AAA games for the PS Vita and I would be happy to see such a great game appearing on the PS Vita, I would also be disappointed. I am not one who likes when companies milk a franchise and pump out many games of the same IP or in quick succession. One can only play so many God of War, or Metal Gear games. I also don’t like it when a story get’s told on separate same generation consoles. It makes you feel cheated. You are forced to miss out on a chapter of the characters or the world you love, if you don’t own said platform. I would prefer it if they were working on a brand new IP for the PS Vita.
@Sutorcen If sony could do an agreement with level 5 and studio ghibli ( forgot the name >> Ni no kuni) i would agree with you
@Sanquine A bit of topic with the post...
I would love to see past Level 5 games remastered for the Vita.
Dark Cloud or Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2)
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
Rogue Galaxy
from PS2
and
Jeanne d'Arc
from PSP
last but not least a Professor Layton game.
Of cource Ni No Kuni too.
@Sutorcen Dragon quest journey of the cursed king <3 good memories
Well thats an interesting turn of events: if it did exist they could make a game based on the other ending of Infamous 2.
@Sutorcen Hah!! was walking out of my house this morning and saw my guidebook to Dragon Quest Journey of the Cursed King, and i thought to myself...why isnt this on psn or HD version vita??
Fantastic game. Kept me entertained for so many hours
A Second Son spin-off for the Vita would be amazing if they mapped the controls right.
@Sutorcen Your argument sounds similar to complaints on YouTube as to why Shadow Fall or Second Son aren't being made for PS3. Making one iteration of a game exclusive to another system is a smart move, because it makes the fans of the previous titles want to buy that other system.
Also, GoW and MGS aren't released in quick succession. They may be milked - not many franchises aren't these days - but their is a fairly large gap between releases. Had you said CoD and Mario, 2 of the most milked/rapidly released franchises in history, I would have to agree with you.
@Lelouch My bad I meant to say "I am not one who likes when companies milk a franchise and pump out many games of the same IP or in quick succession." Oh and let's not forget the anual AC games. Either way you are right. As for people complaining that Second Son isn't made for the PS3, they shouldn't, it's undersandable because it is made for a next gen console. The problem is when thy make games in the same story arc on other, same gen platforms.
Need to edit my first post.
PS: From the original GoW in 2005 until today we have had a GoW related release every year (except 2006) be it games or collections.
I'd pre-order a inFAMOUS PS Vita game right this minute if it was officially announced. I wouldn't be surprised if a inFAMOUS title really is in development at this moment because it would really be yet another console quality jewel in the crown of the Vita much like Killzone Mercenary.
Would you buy it if it launched just before second son I.E bridging the story gap? I would might shift some VITAS.
EDIT: After watching the video you could definitely see in his mind he was like " F*** " Right lets start the HYPE train
Infamous on PS Vita would be so awesome
yup hope it happens...day 1 for me
