Levine “Trying To Make A Match” For Bioshock Infinite Vita

Ben-Dutka 26 Comments

We haven't heard about Bioshock Infinite for the PlayStation Vita in quite some time. What has happened to it?

That's the question a gamer asked of Irrational Games boss Ted Levine on Twitter, and he responded as follows (via DualShockers ):

"I talked to both Sony and 2K about it yesterday. Trying to make a match."

Okay, so while the publishing side of the process hadn't been nailed down yet, it's obvious that Irrational still intends to produce the critically acclaimed title for Sony's new portable. No, it hasn't evaporated into vaporware. Levine also confirmed that Infinite will be ported to Mac OS X at some point this summer. We say, the more people who get to play that unbelievable game, the better.

We're not sure how it would turn out on the Vita, though. It seems like one of those titles that absolutely must be experienced on a big screen. Then again, maybe it'll be just the game that helps the Vita rise in popularity.

Bioshock Infinite Vita Secondary To Console, PC Versions

John-Shepard 9 Comments

When we learned Bioshock Infinite was in the works last year, developer Irrational Games said a PlayStation Vita iteration was planned.

However, according to what Irrational boss (that sounds funny) Ken Levine told Wired , we might have to wait a while. Currently, the team is working hard on the console and PC versions of the hotly anticipated game, and until they're further along in that process, they won't think about the Vita installment. Said Levine:

"These games really are all-consuming endeavors. You do want to keep the ball rolling but it is tough to give it your full attention before you finish what you have. But we're getting there with Infinite. So yeah, we're not as focused on the Vita game as we will be."

Levine has gone on record saying he wanted the game to be "unique" and something that's a "little different." Right now, he's saying there's a possibility that he may outsource the Vita version to another developer, although he is a little hesitant to just hand off his creation to someone else. For now, though, we're happy if we just get Bioshock Infinite for PS3, 360 and PC; it's slated to arrive on October 16 and we can't wait .

The Vita has other games coming, anyway, and many are designed specifically for the unit. Those usually turn out well.
