Third-person action of some kind.

Looks good for a handheld game. See how much more detail the Japanese can get out of even medium-polygon characters when they want to? How much more smooth and detailed the characters they make, compared to the lifeless arthritic dolls that are standard in Western games, even when they feature a far greater polygon count? It's called "character design" and "artistry". Western devs ought to look those words up.

Many more pics here:

So apparently the original game's title was simply Malicious, and it was released on the PS3 in 2010, lol. It seems I've missed a few memos:

Malicious Rebirth is the Vita port, which is coming out soon. Thread moved to Games forum and thread title edited.

Kinda funny, I just got finished having the same thoughts you wrote above before looking into it more and figuring out that this game came out on PS3 first lol. This one really went under the radar huh?

Anyway, it's getting a re-release on PS4 with enhanced graphics and some extra content.
