Naughty Dog has 'no plans' to develop for the PS Vita

Uncharted developer Naughty Dog has stated that it currently has "no plans" to develop titles for Sony's latest handheld console, despite claims to the contrary from Sony's SVP of PlayStation brand marketing Guy Longsworth.

Longsworth promised that major first-party studios such as Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, and Guerrilla would all support the PS Vita directly sometime in the future.

According to Naughty Dog's community and marketing manager Arne Meyer, however, this is not necessarily the case.

"We're not working on anything for PS Vita. I won't say never, ever, but there's no plans for it right now - we've always felt that consoles play to our strengths ... and desires to push the utmost limit of resources and memory and tech and engine," Meyer posted on NeoGAF.

"That can change with the right handheld, [which is] why I won't ever say never. We've never made a handheld game, so us saying we're not working on anything at the moment shouldn't be some earth-shattering surprise."

Uncharted: Golden Abyss is, of course, one of the PS Vita's launch titles, but it was developed by SCE Bend Studio rather than Naughty Dog.
