Shahid Kamal Ahmad, the man in charge of strategic content at PlayStation Europe and responsible for bringing many indie games to PlayStation platforms, has today been Tweeting about a new title for PS Vita.
The Tweet reads:
I haven’t teased you in ages, but today Spencer pitched a game for Vita and I said yes in about 30 seconds. You’re going to like it. 🙂

His comments have caused plenty of speculation on what game he’s referring to, but it’s over on Reddit where the detectives have pieced together the clues quite superbly.
Reddit user VLiberty suggests that the “30 seconds” part of the Tweet could translate to half-a-minute. Follow the replies to Shahid’s Tweets carefully and you’ll see that Hollie Bennett, Community Manager at PlayStation U.K., who admits she knows what the game is, Tweets: “Spencer is my hero” – “hero” being the word that could be the final piece of the clue.
@shahidkamal Spencer is my hero 😀

Putting two and two together then, and possibly making five, VLiberty suggests that Half-Minute Hero, the award-winning, hybrid real-time strategy/action RPG/shoot ’em up which was released on PSP in 2009 could be making a return in some form or other. It sounds quite feasible, what do you think?
