The Walking Dead for PS Vita ?

edited January 2013 in The Walking Dead
Hi,
I was wondering if there was going to be a Vita version of the walking dead game. I played it on ps3 and enjoyed it a lot. With the vita's choice of controls. it seems like it would be great to interact and play the game on the system. It has the power to run a little scaled down version of the ps3 game. I saw somewhere that it was available on the Ipad too.
So it's a question and a request - The Walking Dead on the PS Vita please.......????

    As soon as I saw the thread title, I though "Yes".
    It does make sense and its worth thinking about unless it is already planned ofc.
    Deejay's point about the controls fitting is spot on, since point and click is pretty much the same as point and press on a touch interface, and it would work especially well on the Vita since it has joysticks, a d-pad and face buttons to help with moving around and the QTEs.
    I guess it could work on iOS devices too, but I don't know how they would make you move without physical buttons.

    yes straga, wouldn't it be awesome to have a walking dead game with awesome graphics and everything in your hands.
    I'm sorry if the title is misleading but i did it intentionally so that people may read this and post as many comments as possible.
    We want that game........like, right now....
    The vita is such an awesome 'gaming' device. I like it better the i devices. if it is on ipad it should be on vita too. that's not fair developers..hehehe

    This game will be released for the iPad and iPhone this summer, so it would be easy to show the Vita some love. Plus, Sony seem to like Telltale.

    i was wondering if telltale games have plans to release walking dead or there other games for the ps vita
  • edited August 2012
    I don't think they currently have any plans for it. If this keeps up, people will be asking to have this game on Nintendo devices.

    Please no more reasons for delay...Anyway vita is a waste of cash Save for the new consoles coming out 2013

    Why would that be such a stretch, exactly? Besides, Telltale's developed quite a bit for the Wii. As much as they have for the 360, in fact.

    Though it hasn't been confirmed, I don't think a Wii U version of The Walking Dead is too hard to imagine.

    Might not be an impossible thing for the Wii U to have the game. If this happens though, I think it would be accurate to have it released after all the episodes are out.

    yeah, not that i plan on getting a wii u...unless i traded in my existing wii and some games and it can play game cube games and i win the lottery or i find a nice rich girl lol

    the controller just looks like a pain in the ass to use and the 'pro controller' is just a straight xbox/ps3 rip off..

    Figured TWD is everywhere why not on the Vita? The touch screen is perfect for point and click and the Vita also has physical buttons. (Stating the obvious lol) I know a lot of people who would buy The Walking Dead on the Vita. Come on TT make it happen. What better way to get your game out to the masses than to make it available on every platform? It just makes since and I suspect it will be welcomed with open palms, by the Vita community. My money is already on the table. so what say you TellTale? The Vita is more than capable of running the game. Give one of the most amazing handhelds ever created one of the best Titles out right now. Not knocking IOS but come on, I know there's a place at your table for a few Vitabros.

    What do you guys think? Would it work?
  • edited November 2012
    With the Vita having a low install base I can understand targeting devices with large install bases like iOS but I would love to see Remote Play implemented. I don't know exactly how much work and effort goes into getting Remote Play working in a game but I think the Walking Dead would be a perfect candidate for it.
  • edited November 2012
    It would be perfect to play it on my Vita on bed before going to sleep.
    Come on TT, do it.

    Understandable, yes millions of people own apple products but how many of those millions actually own them to play games on? The Vita is made for games so there's no question that TWD will find a true gaming audience there. Its a shame that a great game like this will skip a dedicated gaming device for a phone or tablet. I wonder how much TWD has sold on IOS? I'd take Remote Play if it works the way it is supposed to but I'd prefer a straight port. I can be sure if it happens people would double dip just for the experience of having it on the Vita.

    Taken from a PsVitaforums member. "It would be cool to see a Vita release, and the Vita is a perfect device for this game- you could walk with an analogue stick and use the touch screen to interact with the environment (or just use all touch or all physical controls). I've already beaten the game on my PS3, but if Tell-Tale released it on the Vita, I'd buy it again. A pretty good game."

    Do take note that Telltale has not released any of their games in mobile/handheld devices except for ios. It might come out in the future for vita, but the chance is slim.
  • edited November 2012
    I would like so much to have a PS VITA version of Walking Dead Season 2, but I don't know why Telltale would do that as they didn't for season 1.

    We are not currently planning to release The Walking Dead on the Vita, but I also do not believe it's been discussed. I will make sure to mention your support for the idea to our Production team.

    Highly doubt it PSvita was a major flop in terms of units sold, there is nearly no market at all to make it worthwhile to port games to it.

    I don't think it bad, I love my Vita I use it every day on the bus on my way to work. Best money spent for the system.

    As for the Walking Dead for Vita I would buy it.

    Funny...hardly see anyone here in Japan playing PS vita....most still rock the PSP...

    I'd think about buying a Vita for TWD

    The walking dead is a brilliant game. love every minute of it. but for a ll the PS3 owners with a PS VITA (like myself), i would like to see the game become compatible with the PS VITA. i mean, if it can be done on iOS, then why not the vita right? So telltale games, if you read this (i hope), please could you turn this brilliant game series into a vita launch. would love to play Lee Evertts epic story unfold on my PS VITA. If any others who think the same as me. Please comment something else, have your say on this or whatever to try and get this message across to Telltale! This game is game of the year in my eyes and the first to make me cry. This would be the best launch to date if released on the Vita.

    But if you did have a vita, would you want to see the walking dead become a vita title too. Think about it.

    Personally, if I had a Playstation Vita, I would want it on there. But I don't think they have the time to do that.

    I know. But if they had the time to do the game do it works for iOS then surely they can do it for the vita.

    Actually, now that I think about it. If the Playstation Vita has similar code to the PS3, then they could do it. Not sure if they do have similar code, but it could.

    Really hope so. Telltale made the game avalible on the iPod/ iPhone/ iPad. So surely they can do it for the PS VITA

    I have serious doubts about the viability of touch controls. For me, trying to tap a small, specific region of the screen doesn't always work; I rarely end up hitting the point I want (This goes for keyboard use in the portrait orientation as well); mostly with web browsing, I have to significantly zoom in to tap a link or button. Not only this, but because my damn thumb is in the way, I can't see exactly what I'm tapping, or drag with any precision. In addition, I tried to play the Android ports of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and Terry Cavanaugh's Don't Look Back and found that on-screen buttons and controls for action games tend to be finicky and unresponsive; granted, coming from playing with console controllers, keyboards, and mice, I have a certain preference for tactile feedback and physical buttons, so I may just not be acclimated to these controls, but my first impression was a horrid, unfun experience.

    On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Note and Note 2 phones have the S-Pen at their disposal, giving much-needed precision to single-finger touch gaming. The S-Pen made my experience with Eufloria HD enjoyable; I didn't have to continually zoom in and out to effectively select asteroids and perform commands.

    Can't believe my original post has caused so many others to think the same thing. Keep it up guys! Really need Telltale to pick up on this as it is such a brilliant game!

    Isn't the PS Vita selling worse than the Dreamcast?
