Sony Online Bringing Games to the Vita

In an interview with Gamespot, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) president John Smedley, mentioned that its range of games may come to the PS Vita. With the likes of Everquest, Star Wars Galaxies, DC Universe and others in its roster, any of them would make a fine addition for the Vita to encourage social gaming.



There are few limitations other than storage to what developers can put out on Vita. With some of SOE's games being, or soon to be, free-to-play titles, that may tie in with earlier messages that Sony may bring FTP titles to the handheld. From the article:


GS: Earlier today, a Sony rep was selling developers on making games for the Vita, saying it would support all manner of subscription and microtransaction business models, not unlike the ones SOE uses. You've gone on record as having at least expressed interest in the Vita. Any more concrete details on plans to support the hardware? Any plans to tie in functionality to any current SOE titles, for instance?

JS: SOE will be supporting Vita. We are a proud member of the PlayStation family of companies, and you can expect us to support Vita. I can't say which titles yet, but you can expect us to support it in a big way.
