The game was designed with keyboard and mouse in mind, and then you need to work out if the cost of investing resources/cash for the port is worth the pay off.
And I just don't think it would be. Then you have to consider the Vita's hardware and storage limitations.

No. /Unsigned. This'd be a total waste of resources and a flat out loss of revenue, money that'd be way better spent on putting more stuff into the game.

1) It's an even bigger leap code wise
2) There's even less buttons than a regular console controller
3) You expect a full MMO, with all the space that takes up and the connection it requires, to run on a handheld?
This isn't happening. As in, I will actually take one of my hats, smother it in Nutella, and EAT it if the Devs ever, ever decided that, somehow, this was an even remotely feasible idea. Because the world will have become that insane anyway.

And then there's Sony's track record for handheld gaming devices...
your = Belonging to you.
you're = Contraction meaning "You are."
Ur = The name of an ancient Mesopotamian city.
ur = This is not a word.

Also one other thing...
Why in the world would Sony want to try and Port City when they have a (putting it mildly...) Supers MMO already that could be ported? And do you really want to deal w/PSN just to access it on the PVita?
No thank you.

Thank you for the time...

This is what I don't get when people want to "port" things to portable devices. I'll bet somebody could figure out a way to port CoH to a Commodore 64 as well but who would want to put up with how god-awful slow and clunky it'd be? |

I'm sure some time in the future there will be portable devices that will be beefy enough hardware-wise to be able to play games as well as I can play them on my fully-loaded desktop. But until that day comes I just don't see the point. *shrugs*

CoH being ported to Vita needs to happen.
Please, Devs, make it happen...
P.S. - Just kidding

Yeah, not gunna happen, for all the reasons mentioned.
Though, the thought process of this idea is interesting ..
PSVita = Good
CoX = Good
PSVita + CoX = PROFIT(?)
If they didn't port CoX to Xbox 360 or PS3 or Wii, it won't happen with the Vita. That's all there is to say on the matter.
I was doing some playthroughs of City of Heroes. Now they will serve as memories of a better time ...

Before your post I'd never heard of it.
Some of us have no interest in consoles, especially handheld consoles.
I have a computer for the games I want to play.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

Y'know, i don't see how any of that could be considered an issue. We should start at once!

With the controller/keyboard/mouse setup the keyboard should only be necessary for chat, and the mouse for clicking interactable objects. I can map the mouse to one of my joysticks so I luckily get to ignore it.

so they won't have competition and they will make a lot of money?

Given that DCUO is on the PS3 and they're starting to heavily tout the cross-platform gaming between the PSV and the PS3, if any MMO gets ported to the PSV it'd most likely be that one.
