Slant Six Apparently Worked On A Medal Of Honor For Vita

In all honesty, I can't say I'm especially disappointed.

According to an interesting Superannuation Tweet , it seems developer Slant Six was working on a Medal of Honor installment for the PlayStation Vita.

The source cites a Slant Six developer who included concept art for the unannounced MoH handheld title in his online portfolio. His LinkedIn profile says he worked at the Vancouver studio between 2006 and 2009. Slant Six is well known for their solid SOCOM games but they also produced the stinker that was Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City . Besides, after the disappointing Medal of Honor: Warfighter , maybe EA was right in putting the franchise on temporary hiatus.

And really, I'm not sure this is the kind of game the Vita needs right now. We've got Killzone: Mercenary coming, after all. How's about a few big RPGs…? The PSP had lots of great ones.

Slant Six Unveils Their First Original IP: Strata Scavenger

Okay, so Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City didn't turn out so well (our review is coming soon, by the way).

But that doesn't mean Slant Six can't make a decent game. They've already produced several solid SOCOM titles for both the PS3 and PSP, so they've got what it takes to produce a quality product.

Today, the developer lifted the lid on their new project, Strata Scavenger . It's expected to arrive next year and all we've got to go on is this poster. …yeah, we know, it could be just about anything.

It'll be the team's first original IP; Resident Evil and SOCOM obviously weren't unique to Slant Six. We're just wondering if all the criticism Operation Raccoon City is receiving will have some sort of financial impact on the team…bad games can do that, especially if you were counting on them to bring in a certain amount of profit. And in this industry, panned titles really don't sell well.

But we hope everything turns out fine for Slant Six, and we look forward to hearing more about Strata Scavenger .
