Sure, but creating a high-quality PS2 emulator is no quick and easy task. That would also put them on the hook for adding more PS2 games to the PSN Store. It would be great, but I can't fault them for thinking that it's not worth the cost.
Remote Play appears to be already on the Vita (there's...
I don't see how this is unreasonable. The Vita is already emulating the PSP, which means ongoing development costs to create, patch, and improve that functionality. Wouldn't adding PS2 compatibility require a new emulator to be created?
This seems more like logical management of costs than...
That Wipeout info is unclear. Does this mean the Wipeout HD and Fury are coming to the Vita in their entirety? Will they be separate from the Wipeout 2048? Does this apply to retail purchases as well as digital?

I can certainly see it working for a tablet, since it's already a fairly large device. What I don't understand is the logic of using a controller with your phone. That idea still seems a bit silly to me.
I'm going to preface this with saying that it's awesome that this came to iOS and Andoid devices.
That being said, could someone please explain why anyone would choose to carry around a USB controller instead of DS/PSP/3DS/Vita? Games on smartphones can be great, but the idea of lugging around...
Exactly what I was thinking. This game got a lot more crap than it deserved. I actually enjoyed some aspects of it quite a bit, and it's a worthwhile play for fans of the franchise.
That guide may have been bad, but my experience with Prima guides is that finding anything competent from them is near impossible. It's great to hear that the company seems to have one good author, but after so many guides filled with lazy writing and misinformation, and even advertising extra...
