But that wasn’t the only question on people’s lips. What about the fabled Bad Company franchise, providing a nice alternative to the series’ mainstay.

Troedsson commented on Bad Company’s present AWOL status, “There’s a lot of things inspiring us as to how the franchise will move on. Everything from fans’ feedback, to market research and, of course, what we want to build ourselves. It’s not just one single thing”.

“We still want to stay in this genre, the modern day as it is. We feel this is a place we can be and continue with the series. Battlefield 4 can live in this space and be very successful.”

“That doesn’t mean there might not be a Bad Company game again in the future.”

So never fret Bad Company fans. The future is still bright.

PS Vita dev kits will be placed at around €1,900, plus VAT.

“The PS Vita development kit is going to be very affordable,” said  Sony Computer Entertainment’s George Bain, speaking at GDC Europe. “And when I say affordable I mean €1,900 plus VAT.”

Compared to the €20,000 charged for the PS2 and PS3 and €15,000 charged for the PSP, Vita’s development kits are too cheap. Looks like Sony’s going all developer friendly with their new handheld. This definitely will attract a lot of third party support.

“There is no cost to join the PS Vita Develop Program,” Bain added. “There’s just that cost of the dev kit. If you’re a small developer, we happy to talk to you about this. It will help if you have a games portfolio. There’s no reason we won’t speak with smaller studios about joining up.”

Stay tuned for more on Vita.
