Metal Gear Rising’s absence on PS Vita is due to lack of power

It would have been awesome to play Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance on the PS Vita, but that’s not possible due to a lack of power in the handheld, according to Kojima Productions creative producer Yuji Korekado.

This is quite surprising because Sony has always mentioned that the handheld is quite powerful, but looks like it’s not powerful enough for Kojima and Korekado.

He revealed that the system cannot handle the game’s free cut mode which allows people to cut through anything except buildings.

“As of now we aren’t considering a Vita version. The reason is one of the main appeals of Metal Gear Rising is this option of the free cut,” he said to Eurogamer.

“That requires a lot of hardware power, which is only possible with the power of a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360. So as of now, we haven’t contemplated bringing it to handheld consoles.”
