Ready at Dawn: 'Maybe we should reconsider' PSP development

by Jason Dobson { Dec 16th 2008 at 10:10AM }

We've heard of buyer's remorse. Even seller's remorse. But mailer's remorse? That could be afflicting developer Ready at Dawn, as the company jokes that it might have been too hasty when it turned its back on Sony's portable and marked all of its PSP dev kits 'return to sender.' The company announced in June that it was "officially done with PSP development," but after seeing both Daxter and God of War: Chains of Olympus among the top 5 PSP games sold on Amazon last week, the studio is cheekily patting its own back.

"Maybe we should reconsider this whole 'no more PSP games' thing because we seem to be pretty good at it," reads a post on Ready at Dawn's blog. We're inclined to agree, even if it is in jest. With a few more studios like you around, maybe the PSP wouldn't need a life raft to stay afloat.

Well that's obvious, if the games you make do good on that platform, why stop?

....I will bet good money that Ready At Dawn will only make God of War and Daxter sequels/prequels/spinoffs for as long as the PSP exists.

I think you are confusing these developers with Nintendo and Mario.

PSP needs you and you have a responsibility to the world to develop for it. Now, go win one for the Gipper boys!

Didnt' like dexter, but the PSP GOW was the only one of those games I liked

It's comparative advantage at its finest. Why work on DS, Wii, or the HD Set when you are clearly the top dog where you are?

Now, if Ready at Dawn were an expanding company, certainly they would want to fry bigger fish, but as they are, they can prosper on PSP
