This year’s high definition remasters of Final Fantasy X and X-2 could be the beginning of more even Final Fantasy games for the PS Vita.

Speaking recently to Famtisu ( via Gaf ), Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura stated that the rpg giant is “interested in expanding new Final Fantasy experiences on the PS Vita, along with smartphones and tablets.”

It’s unclear if Square Enix has already begun working on additional Final Fantasy installments for Sony’s handheld but Nomura added that whatever they have planned for the system it won’t be the same old Final Fantasy experiences, “but something new.”

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Sells A Million Worldwide

During a recent IGN Podcast the President of Sony’s Worldwide Studios for SCE, Shuhei Yoshida, announced that PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has sold over a million copies worldwide since its  November 2012 release.

The brawler developed by SuperBot Entertainment was released for the PS3 and PS Vita but Yoshida-san didn’t clarify which version moved the most units.

With a million sales under its belt one would reckon that a sequel could be in the future. But with the lack of third party support from companies such as Square Enix, Sega and Namco Bandai in the first game, we’re not going to hold our breath for another entry in the series.

E3 2013: The Walking Dead Lands On The PS Vita

400days-1

During Sony’s E3 conference, The Walking Dead: 400 Days was announced for the PS Vita. TellTale Games has been hinting something new in the series since last week with brief video clips of what was easily assumed as Season Two.

The Walking Dead: 400 Days is a new chapter in the series chronicling the first 400 Days after the outbreak through the eyes of five all-new characters. This special episode will allow you to choose a character and play through each of their stories in any order, which are all centered around a truck stop on a Georgia highway.

“Some decisions you may have made in Season One will affect moments of 400 Days, and while we don’t want to give away too much yet, we will say that your decisions in 400 Days will echo into future installments of the series.”

“PS Vita allows us to use two different control styles so you can decide whether you prefer using the analog sticks and face buttons, or use Vita’s touch controls, bringing a new level of control and interactivity to Robert Kirkman’s grisly world.”

Along with The Walking Dead: 400 Days a new PS Vita bundle with Season 1 of the series with bonus content will also be available.
