Digitally Downloaded writes: "Ripstone is a fairly new publisher on the scene. It had its breakout hit with Pure Chess on the PlayStation Vita and PS3, and has since published a wide range of quality digital titles – from the gorgeous Kyntt Underground to the Wolfenstein throwback, Gun Commando.
This success as a startup publisher comes despite a difficult market for publishers - see the demise of THQ. And, even more interestingly, Ripstone is seeing its greatest success on the PlayStation Vita – a platform that many dismiss because of poor market penetration."
Jareth Anstey from Zero1Gaming.com managed to have a chat with Daniel Leaver of Dreadbit games about their newest project: Ironcast.

Ripstone are busy publishing games from all over the place! Recently, we chatted shortly about their decision to bring Extreme Exorcism to the Wii U eShop. You will get a good overview by reading the interview below.
After developing Pure Chess and Pure Pool, VooFoo Studios will release Pure Hold’em on multiple platforms. The title will also be published by Ripstone Games like their previous titles. According to an anonymous source familiar with the project, an open beta will launch on Xbox One tonight.

on paper yes....
Inb4denial and inb4demsales. If only the Vita had Nintendogs to show off its power.
Edit: All joking aside I would like Sonydogs Maltipoo edition on that stunning OLED.
it's a great handheld, very crisp and clear screen, very nice graphics (for a handheld) being closer to PS3 than PSP was to PS2 in my opinion. it also has a very good web browser that is much better than the 3DS's, youtube is also very good on it.
My only complaint on it is the fact the OLED screen isn't perfect as such, in a very dim or dark room you can see dark patches in the back of the screen which can be a bit irritating since you know it's always there. But it's nothing too serious. You only really see it on dark/black screens anyway.
Other than that, very nice handheld and very comfortable to hold with it's rounded sides, no slipping of the control sticks like on the 3DS.
I'm glad to see that the indie developers are doing well on the handheld, despite its slow growth. The majority of what I play on Vita are indie titles any ways, so the more the merrier.
Great interview!
Great system.
Great library of games, already.
Great features.
Little advertising.
Customer confusion.
High price point...except that people spend $400 on an iPod Touch. -_-
No must-own title for casual gamers. Sony has EVERY type of gamer covered, except casual. Even then, they have plenty of great indie titles...but people don't know about them. :/
