RePLAY: the cracking of the PlayStation Vita has begun and BioWare is looking
into expanding its brands into the mobile space.
We are not even a
month into the PS Vita’s release and already there are signs of it cracking under
the pressure of the homebrewers— like a video of Sonic & Knuckles being played on the handheld.
It isn’t a direct crack
of the system, however. The feat was accomplished by running a PSP Genesis
emulator through the PS Vita’s PSP emulator.
It’s like the movie Inception’s dream inside a dream concept,
except done with emulators.
Additionally, the
video’s uploader, frwololo, cautioned that Sony has implemented some security
that makes the exploit “moot,” and the demonstration was more for “research”
and a “ray of hope” for the homebrew community.
Joystiq has released
an interview where BioWare’s creative lead, Greg Zeschuk, revealed that the
company is looking into “logical extensions” to its brands for its mobile
development.
“We did that iOS Mass Effect Galaxy thing really early.
We said, ‘We should just try this and see what happens.’ And we learned
something from it,” Zeschuk told Joystiq’s Ben Gilbert.
“What we do a lot is
we’ll actually explore a platform and kinda play around with it,” explained
Zeschuk, adding credence to the idea that BioWare is looking into experimenting
with the mobile space.
Zeschuk added that one
person in BioWare is responsible for identifying “logical extensions” on mobile
development but the creative lead cautioned that the company “haven’t announced
too much” yet.
Will we see more games
like Mass Effect Galaxy that expands
BioWare’s IPs or something totally different in the future?
Stay tuned!
