Bossa Studios head Henrique Olifers believes Vita will suffer a 'horrible premature death'

Bossa Studios head Henrique Olifers believes he has seen the future of the Vita - and it is bleak.

In an interview with VideoGamer, Olifers shared his feelings on closed platform gaming, and the fate of consoles which fail to support other manufacturers' software.

"Valve is bang on: proprietary stuff is madness, we should be moving to more open platforms, to interoperability, bringing everyone together," Olifers said.

"If this is not the motto for the big console manufacturers, not only will we not be there - they're likely to die a horrible premature death, the kind of which I think the Vita will suffer from."

Olifer's enthusiasm for connected, cross-platform gaming should come as no surprise to those familiar with Bossa Studio's free-to-play "anti-social" Facebook game Monstermind.

The Bossa Studio head also touched on the likelihood of his team developing its own game for the Vita.

"We'll keep on the lookout to see what the next gen will bring, but if they want more focus on tech specs rather than usability and accessibility, I don't think it will be for us."

The company made headlines last week, too, when it announced it was welcoming ex-Team Ico producer Yoshifusa Hayamato into its ranks.
