I would love to play Spiral knights on PSVita,I can say console is 'Dead' but this game would definitely revive my console ...i mean who wouldn't love to play this game on handled device? Spiral knights on the way ! hell yea :)
PSVita Pettition - Please make it happen
Well,too bad...I bet many people would like to play SK on Vita..
Even if it was reprogrammed from scratch, does the thing have enough buttons?
Move ->Arrow Keys
Attack -> X
Shield -> Square
Cycle weapon -> Circle
Cycle vial -> Triangle
Dash -> Shoulder button
Bash -> Other shoulder button
Hmm. Okay, I suppose that would technically work, but having to cycle through your weapons seems like it would be difficult, and give computer players an advantage in PvP, being able to switch instantly to the one they want.
Meh, I'd go with those 3DS and Wii U suggestions instead.
I doubt SK will get a console port, just because of the programming issues. The fact that MMOs are not very common on consoles (and typically do quite badly there) doesn't help. Handheld are even less likely, because they don't have hardware powerful enough to run a game like SK (which can be a challenge for PCs to run. Granted, that's partly because the game's fault). At best, OOO might be able to put SK on one of those android based mini-consoles that are starting to become popular, and that's only because the android OS is very flexible.
@Inferno
I doubt that the 3DS could support SK, and given that the WiiU is the the worst console of this generation, I don't think SK will be ported over there either.
Possiblesp>
you forgot that psvita has 2 analog sticks ..so why would you use arrows? also touchcreen,and back touchcreen too and it's pretty powerful to run sk
lol when will the console frags be done with trying to get a console port to what ever stupid console they like allot.
Isn't expensive to make a game for console?
and bug fixes/updates cost money to add.
Business-wise, it would be unwise for OOO to add a update-ever-changing game to the Big 3. maybe Steam Box :D
I personally agree that the WiiU is probably the best system for this but I honestly don't expect any console ports at all.
@Mtax
Have you seen the Steam Big Picture chatting? It could be done in the same way on the Vita. As for 3ds, there's a touch screen. ec pc
I want to play SK on my toaster, i bet many people have toasters and would love to play sk on their toasters. SK totally have to be avaliable for toasters OOO should make SK for toaster.. i mean who wouldnt love play SK on toaster?
Guys,please learn before actual posting - psvita has 2 sticks + front and back touchcreen,easy controls
Mine controls would be:
R1 -Swing/shoot (Attack)
L1 - Shield (hold) ,double tap shield smash
X - Use
O - Potion
[ ] - Not sure
Δ - Inventory
Arrows - Down:Switch weapons:UP not sure,LEFT+RIGHT Potion switch (of course arrows will work in inventory)
L. Analog - Movement
R. Analog - Movement (direction)
+Back touchcreen it's still left
Chatting:simple ,its touchcreen,PSvita already has build in qwerty keyboard.
I mean cmon guys,I Like to play it on my t pc,but i would like to play SK when im away or just want to let my pc rest and play in bed.
I know my self it will be hard to port,but SK really should extend to other platforms ,why? simple more people to play with.
PSvita would not have problems with controls ,more people on PC play with controllers anyway,So why not make it happen?
I mean, i doubt there's alot of die-hard Spiral Knights fan who own a PSVita.
Why make a console port game for only a few hundred or less players?
And this is why games aren't releasing for Vita,People think there is not many Owners,but there is ,only what PSvita hold it's bad luck of games...and everyone just put away their vitas because there is nothing to play,but there is big games coming like one of the games is 'Terraria',we got great handlend console from sony,but dev's are scared to develeop for it ,why? If any of games ,Like 'Minecraft' would release on VITA which still might but Microsoft exclusivity need to run out,there will be Vita and PS3/4 version too as Jeb said. There will be more popularity ,It's all about 'If we want' if we get to devs know we want console ports or anything ,first is to let them know there is 'interest',that is what happened in Terraria forums,they asked to for it they will get it.
I'm gonna ask a simple question, how you handle Java interface with that thing?
And I really have to question sony's willingness to take on SK without some... Well let's just say I doubt it.
PSVita doesn't have support for the java VM. It's either hack the console somehow or pretty much redesign the game from scratch, wich is stupid for, as you said, a dead console.
