What If... PlayStation Made a Vita 2? - Beyond Episode 724
409On this week's episode of IGN's PlayStation show, host Jonathon Dornbush is joined by Jada Griffin and Kat Bailey to discuss the latest news, rumors, and games in the world of PlayStation. But with a recently tweeted photo from PlayStation's Shuhei Yoshida showing Horizon Zero Dawn running on the SteamDeck, we ponder what if... PlayStation made a Vita successor? Would we like to see a new handheld from Sony, would it run all PS4 and PS5 games, or would it have its own dedicated PlayStation exclusives? What features would it have, and how could PlayStation make a Vita 2 a viable handheld? Does it make sense in this day and age to produce it, or should remote play and cloud gaming streaming of PS4 and PS5 games be the future? Plus, we reminisce about the PlayStation Vita.
Plus, we discuss recent statements from Insomniac about how the studio avoided crunch around part of Marvel's Spider-Man and its final boss, delays like Midnight Suns, Overwatch 2, Diablo 4, November's PlayStation Plus games lineup, and what we're playing, including Inscryption, Persona 5, Dying Light.
