SEGA's new UK-basedHardlightstudio has stopped plans of a new action-adventure project for the PS Vita, for now reportsShogunGamer. The studio is spearheaded byex-Codemasterscreative director-now-studio directorChris Southall. Its studio manager,Sion Lenton is at the moment putting the project at a pause, because they are trying to decide "the best way to bring it to market"
SEGA Hardlight currently handles and markets development on digital titles (as per the company's new direction) for the handheld scene, such as iOS, Android & Windows devices.


SEGA itself has been quite on the low side on bringing any titles to the Playstation's new handheld device, with Jet Set Radio the most prominent example in the public eye so far. TheHatsune Miku line of Project Diva titles for the Vita may be considered being the Japanese equivalent. But judging by Lenton's words, SEGA may have some surprises for the Vita. We shall hopefully see.



This is quite interesting to me. Seems SEGA's still "testing the waters" with the Vita, since they hardly released anything for it, cept for the after-mentioned JSR and Diva titles.

I couldn't help but laugh at "the best way to bring it to market" considering it's a Vita game they put on hold. All I can think of is that the best way to bring it to market is not to release it on the Vita.

It'll just be announcing these on XBLA/PSN at an educated guess.
That or possibly a fighting collection disc as TheChaosBlue said.

What I was thinking.

With Sega "Vintage" Collection and Sega "Heritage" Collection, I'm wondering what would be their next attractive title. Hm, if exist one.

Now we know what that is....the SEGA Model 2 Collection. Here's the website. http://amcvt.sega.jp/model2/index.html

Note for Sonic the Fighters, SEGA actually cared enough to have Eggman, Metal Sonic and Honey the Cat(?) actual playable fighters. They fixed up Honey too. Now add online multiplayer to a couple of these games....nah who I'm kiddin'?

EDIT: About that online stuff for Fighters...seems I may be mistaken.

What? They did it?! Not only Metal Sonic and Eggman, but Honey! The most obscure Sonic character I ever knew. Ok...

It's been years since I played VF2, I would like to play it once again. Also Virtual On, it looks awesome.
