We think that Tearaway is without a doubt one of the best reasons to go out and swipe up a PlayStation Vita. The visuals are truly unique and gorgeous, the gameplay pushes all of the handheld's features to the max, and the whole tone of the game just has an inescapably lovely charm. Now you can experience that with a more-than-meaningful port of the game to the PlayStation 4: Tearaway Unfolded.
How does a title exclusively designed for the Vita make its way to Sony's next-gen powerhouse? That's just the conundrum that Media Molecule ran into, so it decided to redesign the release around the DualShock 4. Old levels will make their way into the game, but new levels and game mechanics involving the likes of the light bar and touchpad ensure that this isn't your everyday port, especially with far less limits to be met in regards to the hardware.
Tear away at Tearaway Unfolded with a fresh trailer straight out of Gamescom 2014. What do you think of this surprising announcement from Media Molecule? Will you give the game a chance now if you haven't already tried it? If you have, are you willing for another go around? Unwrap your thoughts in the comments section below.

I think this will be really good. My wife was really excited about it too, because she loved the vita version. I just don't think it's what people were expecting from Media Molecule, and in a show that needed something crazy, it was almost a little too...uncreative if that makes sense. I get the cool parts of it, they just needed a bigger announcement at gamescom.
@ztpayne7 I'm 99.9% confident the Tearaway team is working on this, which is still just like 20 people from the whole studio. They're working on something else, I'm sure.
This will only sell at a budget price.
@get2sammyb Gotcha. I didn't know they had two teams. Either way, I just don't think it's the big announcement they needed.
Cool, so maybe the Vita original will come to Plus after all.
I think this should have stayed a VITA title the design and gameplay is just too well suited for the VITA, it would have been better if they came up with something new, I wonder if the vita will get any sequels now...
I love platformers and the playstation system needs as many as they can get.

The one game I want a Vita is coming to ps4, so yeah I'm happy, can't wait.
Another port? I enjoyed the tearaway demo and will pick it up at some point, I was ready to hate the game but it was really really good. I don't think I'll buy both though.
@danny2kd I agree, it feels wrong to slap it on ps4.
I have the original, but I may pick this one up too.
original was a fun, short, easy Plat... nothin special though. don't think I need to play it again.
I thought this was a sequel, not a port. And as has been said, if a system needed this was Vita, with the game being made for it.
When you see them pillaging the Vita's exclusives, you know it's a rap for the handheld. Bittersweet this is.
While I loved the Vita original I can't see the point of this. A game that didn't set the world on fire despite heavy advertising on Vita thanks to it being a niche game is hardly going to do amazing on PS4. Personally I shall get it but as @Jazzer94 said it should be budget price at the very least. Hopefully they've added reasons to go back to the game too as once it's finished there's nothing to do in it or any incentive to play it again.
