A lot of great games have already been confirmed for the PlayStation Vita by Sony, but Uncharted: Golden Abyss is definitely one of the largest titles that will be available for handheld device from day one, proving that Sony is serious about its new platform.

The PlayStation Vita is getting ready for its release, arriving this week in Japan while the rest of the world gets it next February, and Sony wants to prove to customers that it’s going to deliver the next generation experience in terms of mobile gaming.

According to Victor Harris, the producer of Uncharted: Golden Abyss, this is more than evident with the launch line-up of high quality titles that will be released for the Vita, his in particular, and the array of games that will appear after that, as developers get used to the console.

"We wanted to show the fans the commitment we have to the new hardware. We felt having Uncharted available on launch day would provide consumer the satisfaction to know that we're in this for the long term. This is not just something we're trying out as an experiment. The Vita is a platform that we fully plan on supporting and we're bringing all of our triple-A titles to it," he told Industry Gamers.

Harris is extremely proud of Golden Abyss’ graphical fidelity, saying that this team is already coming close to PS3-level cinematics, and he expects even bigger jumps in quality once developers start getting used to the hardware of the Vita and learn how to better use its power.

"We're already achieving near PS3 cinematics on the Vita, and this is a first generation title. As the lifecycle of the Vita advances you're going to see far better looking titles," he said.

The PlayStation Vita already has a ton of titles in development, with many scheduled to appear right on the day of its release, as well as in its immediate launch window, so new owners will certainly have games to enjoy on the new platform.
