Not content with the avalanche of titles currently confirmed for the various PlayStation platforms, Sony has established a brand new division dedicated to bringing third-party content to its consoles. Creatively dubbed Third-Party Production, the new unit will focus on porting and localising games for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Vita.
Announced during a PAX Prime 2013 panel overnight, the division was founded as a result of the recently announced Borderlands 2 port for the Vita. Gio Corsi, a former lead producer at LucasArts and executive producer on the now-defunct Star Wars 1313, has been hired to run the operation. You can pester him for ports on Twitter.
This is enormous news, because it now means that there’s an avenue for titles such as, say, Yakuza 5 to release overseas. While publisher SEGA may not be too keen on the idea of bringing the game to the west, theoretically Corsi and his crew could work with the Japanese company to get it localised. It also means that there’s hope for more Vita releases of big games.
So, what third-party content that isn’t currently in the pipeline would you like to see released on the numerous PlayStation platforms? Feel free to plead your case in the comments section below, and we’ll send this thread to Corsi at the end of the day.

If this results in Yakuza 5 being localised, I will actually cry.
This is huge, especially for the Vita. Do you know how many Vita games there are in Japan?
First Vita: Jump-Stars Victory Vs, Phantasy Star Online 2, Mind Zero, Tales of Hearts R, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2, Gundam Breaker, Hyperdimension Idol Neptunia PP, Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth, Hyper Goddess Faith Noir, etc.
PS3: Yakuza 5 and that's about it.
PS4: N/A
@Lelouch You forgot God Eater 2!
@Legendaryboss I would think that with GE and GE: Burst being localized, GE 2 would follow suit.
Gradius V. More shmups! Proper, fully fledged shmups.
They were criminally few & far between on PS3, and still on Vita.
My PS2 was brimming with quality shmups - a lot of them imported admittedly, but yeah, shmups!
thats really good news hope to see some results soon
As long as the Tales games come stateside and we FINALLY get Final Fantasy Type-0, I'll be a happy camper. Well, I won't be camping, lack of electricity and whatnot to play games, but I would happily set up a tent in my room to further seclude myself into the gaming realm.
Jump-Stars Victory Vs PS3 and Vita, Yakuza 5 and 1 & 2 HD PS3, Final Fantasy Type 0 PSP or a Vita port, Hyperdimension Neptunia PSVita, Tales of Vesperia PS3, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 PSVita
there are more but i can't think at the moment
Yeah, give me Type Zero HD for vita and PS3. And Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus, please. And Sen no Kiseki, please.
and monster hunter 3rd hd
Type 0 and tales please
The origins company istoo stubborn to make them available in stateside
You are all asking for japanese games, come on.
GTA, MGS, RE for me well the former two.
Dynasty Warrior 8: Empires on PS4 sounds like a great idea. Those games could really use the extra power and I loved Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires.
Tales game is always good
Can't think of anything right now. Maybe people will beg for xbone exclusive games when once in a blue moon a quality title shows up.
How about Angry Birds for Vita? Or Super Street Fighter IV?
Just give us the HD versions of Treasure's games that are on Xbox Live. Radiant Silvergun HD, Bangai-O HD and Guardian Heroes HD on Vita? Yes please.
Oh, and give @get2sammyb Yakuza 5 so he changes his DP on here to one of him crying and some Miku-chan for @MadchesterManc and I.

Shmups, the main console for shmups should not be a Microsoft console.
@ObviouslyAdachi
Is this not Angry Birds?
https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2013/07/angry_birds_star_wars_finds_the_force_on_playstation_3_and_vita
Am i the only here who wants non-japanese games?
Also over 550 comments demanding localisations, a few similar names on that list.
@rastamadeus With some of my Hatsune Miku concerts dvd's arriving from Japan the other day Ive come to the conclusion that you can never have too much Miku-chan. So give me some more games! It still baffles how Sega hasn't localised the Vita version of Project Diva F for at least a digital release on Vita too. Im hoping decent sales of the Ps3 version will get them into the groove to do so. If not, ill just import lol
Wouldn't mind the Hyperdimension Neptunia games on Vita getting localised myself. Theres 3 in Japan (Idols, Rebirth and a Noire spin-off) If thismove means more announcements similar to Borderlands 2 on Vita or more localisations then Im all for it. It can't be a bad thing.
A new Ghost Trick from Capcom would be nice.
A new Ghost Trick from Capcom would be nice.
@Legendaryboss I registered just to tell you... MGS and RE are japanese games... cant believe noone pointed that out to you yet.
On topic... localize every game that is stuck in Japan.
@Legendaryboss My bad. Shoulda done my homework. But I'd still like to see a quality Street Fighter.
Yakuza 5, FF Type 0 , Valkryia Chronicles 3, God Eater 2 when it comes out, Shinovi Versus
MAKE IT SO
@ObviouslyAdachi Do you really expect Capcom to make quality anything

I don't know what's wrong with you guys you're asking for Japanese games while we can ask for games like GTA on vita or infamous,,,but the game that i would cry and die to see is crash bash HD for PSN
Let's see.
Star citizen and Elite Dangerous for me. There aren't enough of these types of games on consoles.
Bayonetta 2 on PS4.
Bayonetta 2 on PS4.

Bayonetta 2 on PS4.
Bayonetta 2 on PS4.
PLEASE
@NGF Impossible, since Nintendo funded development. Bayonetta 1 on PS4 would rule though. The PS3 port of the first one was awful - a 1080p60 PS4 version would really let it shine.
@BreakAtmo
I know it's hard, but it's not impossible.
Bayonetta IP belongs to SEGA. So some kind of "Bayonetta Sigma 2" version is possible. Just like Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. I think if SEGA and/or Sony are interested in a Bayonetta 2 port for PS4, it may happen. specially now that SEGA is doing really better.:
http://segabits.com/blog/2013/07/31/sega-sammys-net-income-up-400-from-last-year/
A Bayonetta Collection including Bayo1 and Bayo 2 for PS4 would be amazing too. Imagine 1080p60fps Bayonetta 1 & Bayonetta 2 XD
Mafia II PS vita
Gta IV PS vita
resident evil 5 and 6 Ps vita
Far cry 3 Ps vita
Infamous 2 or 3 Ps vita i know First Party

@Zeothedeathgod Dragon Quest 8 HD on Vita? Man, that would be great!
TIMESPLITTERS!!!!!!
Please oh Please!!!!
Such a great series. Timesplitters 4 was in development when Crytek Studios bought rights and pulled the pug. There is an ongoing petition on facebook to finish the game.
I would LOVE to see Timesplittlers 4 on PS4 & Vita!!!
Star Wars Republic Commandos nuff said
Crash Bandicoot & Spyro
We had them 2 franchises on Gameboy Advance which they were great!
Why not PSvita get atleast them kind of games based on them 2 characters.
We need Activision to do those kind of Crash Bandicoot games by making them as Platform kind like on the GBA and Take only Spyro from Skylanders to do games based only about him.
Activision hasnt touched the IP of Crash for Years and dont think they will ever do anything Unless something must be done while Hardcore fans are missing the Spyro Only kind character of games.
@ERUERUFU Hey man, Super Street Fighter IV was awesome.
Transformers War/Fall of Cybertron, WWE 2K14, Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins, Uncharted 1,2,3.
Dark Souls, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, inFAMOUS 1 and 2, Killzone 1

YS Memories of Celceta European release date
More JRPG"s Localization
Just more JRPG this machine has to be a JRPG machine!
Excuse me people, I would like to point out that Titanfall is made by EA and therefore counts as third party. Now get to work bringing it to Playstation.
If only the blue line would connect around the whole box but otherwise it's a beauty
@rinoa Self-Facepalm http://s13.postimg.org/8qan2v2br/self_facepalm.jpg
What my post meant to say was non japanese games unless they are successful japanese games in addition to amercian/european made games.
@ObviouslyAdachi
No worries although still not worth the price of admission.
Gran Turismo 3 & 4 HD on Vita! Make it happen!!!
@Sanquine
As far as I know, Remedy is not owned by MS so it's free to take its games wherever it wants. If Sony were to pony up the dough, I'm sure a situation could be worked out where it brings Quantum Break over to PS4.
@dpriest This is just for third-party titles, so inFamous and Killzone don't belong here (though I would also kill to have them on Vita). Dark Souls... that game requires some fine balance, and I'm worried that Vita's lack of L2/R2 and L3/R3 and probable touchscreen/touchpad replacements would play havoc with that - I'd prefer a Souls game built for Vita from the ground up, designed around its controls.
Fallout 3/NV, though? HELL yes. the many menus - VATS, traders/merchants, dialogue - would be so much better with the touchscreen. Plus, y'know, all those other awesome things about Fallout. On that note, chuck in Oblivion and Skyrim. And Morrowind, that could run on the Vita easily.
