Sony Bend’s Vita Game to Have Online Multiplayer, Suggests Job Listing

Uncharted: Golden Abyss was one of the Vita’s best games of 2012, showing that a mini-Drake can be just as sexy. Sadly, the game had no online component, so we couldn’t make use of the Vita’s utterly ignored online capabilities. That may be all set to change, though, as we’ve uncovered that developer Sony Bend’s next game will probably include online multiplayer.

Does this mean more Drake?!

[doctorstrange]

I can never have too much Drake

[sinncross]

Maybe it is Bends on creation: Syphon Filter?

[CaptCalvin]

Which is what I rather want. They need to let Bend work own their own franchises again, instead of having them try to imitate other studios' franchises.

[pain777pas]

@CaptCalvin you're right. It would be great for them to work on their own IP and build the brand again on the Vita. Using NDs engine should produce something special to say the least.

[TrendyGamers]

It would be nice to have mp in a Golden Abyss sequel.

[xXtremeHDGamerXx]

Socom or Syphon Filter

[brettyd]

Vita really needs a good MP game, Socom would be awesome.

[TheGrimOfDeath]

We are getting Killzone Mercenary, I hope it's going to be the beginning of great FPS games for the Vita.

[brettyd]

@thegrimofdeath Yea but im talking about SOCOM not an FPS.

[ftwrthtx]

Why can't they add MP to Golden Abyss as a downloadable update?

[Y_5150]

Uncharted multiplayer on the go is ideal!
I would love that.

[remanutd55]

Syphon Filter or the next Resistance, thank you.

[cpayne93]

Resistance retribution on psp was awesome, would love to see James Grayson's story continued.

[remanutd55]

yes they did a superb job on Resistance Retribution but i want the next Resistance vita to stay true to the franchise and be a fps game not third person.

Why are you even here? You cleared stated you don't like Sony, so that hints that you don't own a Vita or any PlayStation console. I think you need to stop trolling. It's okay to like only one console and one game company, but don't don't come into Sony or Microsoft articles just to troll.

Your comment(95).

[RogueStatus28]

What studio?

[doctorstrange]

Syphon Filter creators, Uncharted Vita devs.

Go troll elsewhere.

[RogueStatus28]

Ohhh Uncharted Vita and Syphon Filter devs? How did I not know? lmao

[Yodagamer]

Hopefully it's resistance, have no clue why sony would give that game to nhilistic... It's sad when even sony just didn't give a crap about a game like that on the vita

[nevin1]

Syphon Filter

[Clover904]

This is great news! Bend did an amazing job with Uncharted Golden Abyss. Can't wait to see what they can accomplish with multiplayer on the vita.

[FlyingFoxy]

Agreed, Golden Abyss is a great game.

[Pillsbury1]

I would actually like a tactical 3rd person shooter. REVIVE SOCOM on vita!

[TheCrazyMerc]

Socom, and bring it back to how the classics play!

[porkChop]

As much as I love Uncharted, I would rather this either be a new IP, or a new Syphon Filter.

[one2thr]

I'd like another pursuit force, I think the original(s) were held back by the PSP's limited hardware design. Or even a game that supports 32 player count(s) online, like, Medal of Honor for PSP... But if anything, I'm hoping its another great title to own (:

[BlackIceJoe]

I would prefer them make a new Syphon Filter game or a new IP. I so hope Sony gives them the money to become a two game company. I so think it would be nice to see what they could do if they could work on two games at a time.

[8bitHero]

whatever it is please dont go touch screen crazy like you did with uncharted ga. i thought QTE were bad but that " final boss" in GA, talk about pure crap, that was just completely inconvenient and felt really forced(just like all the other gimmicky crap they did) dont get me wrong, it was a good game but you have to admit the gimmicks were annoying

[porkChop]

I sorta agree. I personally don't mind touch controls, but they have to be done right and they need to be done in ways that make sense. Golden Abyss went a little overboard with them, but then again, it was also a launch game that was meant to show off and utilize all the controls. So I guess it's a bit understandable.
