SNGP 39 - 10 Years of the PlayStation Vita: Recounting the Launch

Send us Fan MailWhile David is wondering how Hol Horse's Emperor isn't in a Gungeon game, he's dealing awkwardly named  "Ground Zero" gang in The Combatribes, rejected the idea of not playing as a Power Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie for the SNES and dragging the wizard's ashes back to town in the action-RPG Cadash.  On the other hand, Tuesday is dismayed at how slow Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunt is and experiences some tactical espionage action parody in Never Stop Sneakin'.  In news, millions are raised for humanitarian causes related to the war in Ukraine by Humble Bundle and Fortnite while Ukraine developer GSC Game World opens an office in the Czech Republic.  Meanwhile, Activision Blizzard is dealing with an investigation for insider training, the FTC is looking or more information with its investigation and a fresh lawsuit alleging sexism and CD Projekt RED announces a collaboration with Epic to make the next Witcher with the Unreal Engine (which won't make it an Epic Store exclusive) and Mass Effect producer Casey Hudson confirms he's working on a new sci-fi universe.  The former Tango Gameworks developer Ikumi Nakamura launches a new developer in The Unseen, a Devolver co-founder launches a therapy focused game studio in Deepwell, while PlayStation acquires Haven, the studio founded by Jade Raymond.  For the SNGP topic, David and Tuesday reflect on the build up to the launch of the PlayStation Vita and the events of its launch year.If you enjoy the podcast, visit us at Patreon.com/SNGP!
