Will Borderlands 2 Come to PS Vita?

Rezzed is a PC and Indie games show that’s currently taking place over in the United Kingdom. And according to Eurogamer, Gearbox Software’s Randy Pitchford told an audience there that he’d “love to see a Vita version” of his upcoming game Borderlands 2.

Eurogamer categorizes Pitchford as being “excited by the idea of cloud powered connectivity between PlayStation 3 and Vita.” As such, Pitchford said he “wish[es] Sony would... get behind Borderlands.”

“I want to be able to have the character I’m working on with my PS3, and then when I’m on the road with my Vita I can just keep developing that same character because it exists on the cloud somewhere. Technologically, that’s possible.”

Unfortunately, Pitchford’s studio is occupied with the console and PC versions of Borderlands 2 and wouldn’t be able to complete a PlayStation Vita version of it on their own. “But I know there are a lot of talented developers who could take our code, our source and our content and perhaps create something like that,” Pitchford admitted. “That would be exciting to me.”

What's being pitched here -- a true cross-play shooter -- is something many PlayStation Vita gamers are clamoring for. With companies such as EA dropping the ball on how games like Madden on Vita will talk to the iteration of Madden on PS3, it would be nice to see a studio do cross-play properly.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance Pre-orders Get You AR Card Unlocks Ads By Google » Blog Tags Today's Most Popular Videos »

Square Enix will release Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance in North America on July 31, 2012, and those who step up to pre-order the game will receive three bonus AR cards that unlock rare Dream Eaters, a press release confirms. The game includes an AR feature that allows you to play with the Dream Eaters pictured on the cards, so this pre-order bonus basically amounts to extra in-game content.

One of the Kingdom Hearts 3D cards unlocks one of three random Dream Eaters: Ursa Circus, Sudo Neko, or (AWESOME name here) Meowjesty. The second card unlocks the R&R Seal Dream Eater and the third unlocks the 360° viewing stand. No, I don't know what any of this means or how awesome it might be. We'll all get to find out in July though!

Is Kingdom Hearts Coming Back to Consoles?

The next Kingdom Hearts game could finally see the series make its long-awaited return to consoles, according to a new interview.

In the new issue of Game Informer, series director Tetsuya Nomura said he felt "it's about time" that the Kingdom Hearts series had another outing on consoles.

Talking about the current direction of the series, he explained, "The PS Vita is definitely a powerful device that is very interesting, but because of its high power, there isn't much of a difference with a console. So even if we were to make a game, we would have to be very careful about how to create it for that device.

"I also feel that it's about time that Kingdom Hearts should go back to being on a console."

The last time the Disney/Square hybrid had an outing on consoles was in 2004 with Kingdom Hearts 2. It's too soon to tell whether Kingdom Hearts 3 would make it onto this generation of consoles or the next, but Nomura has some advice for anyone wanting to know more.

He said, "I'm not able to disclose any information on what's coming next or any other future plans, but you may be able to find a hint if you play through Dream Drop Distance to the very end."

Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance will launch on the 3DS in Europe on July 20th.

Thanks, VH247.
