John Enricco, a lighting artist at Ready At Dawn, has updated his LinkedIn profile to reflect the fact that the company is now working on an original title for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Yeah, multiplatform. Many were expecting Ready At Dawn's first current-generation title to be a PS3 exclusive, considering its relationship with Sony during PSP development. According to Ready At Dawn's website, this is just one of two projects currently being worked on.
The fact that it's an "original title" also indicates that this is a new IP, marking the first time the studio has designed its own game from scratch. Judging from the quality of Ready At Dawn's PSP titles (Daxter, God of War: Chains of Olympus), we're expecting technically great things from this new project. As for whether the game's premise is any good, we have nothing to base our expectations on. One thing's for sure, though; we can't wait to sink our teeth into more details.
[Update: We reached out to Didier Malenfant, co-founder of Ready At Dawn, who told us: "We are working on two projects at this time, codenamed R6 and R8, but haven't officially announced platforms, genres or publishers for that matter. The third version of our engine is up and running on all current-gen platforms and looks awesome while version 2.0 is still arguably the best tech around on PSP so we've got all our bases covered. Oh and by the way, we're hiring :) ]
[Thanks David, Via PlayStationLifestyle.net]

R@D is fully capable of making their own original IP and whatever it is, it's already on my must-buy list.

PSP and Wii game obviously means they're going to turn to PS3-only next.
Or not. Nice attempt to stir things up Joystiq.

:D, R@D is my favorite, next to Naughty Dog! although i'm sorta surprised at the entire 360 thing, i shouldn't be too surprised, they did port okami to the wii. looking forward to whatever they have to bring to the table.

wow... just wow. i realize the article has been edited to give the due credit to playstationlifestyle finally, but not acknowledging the mistake in the edit is almost as scummy as not including the credit in the first place. very unprofessional, and pretty gross considering surely gets much more hits and ad revenues than playstationlifestyle. for shame.

@ Reinard
new to the internet much? newsflash: people get pissed off when others take their content and call it their own. the least whoever edited the article could have done would have been to acknowledge the fact that they forgot to give credit in the first place. it's not a lot to ask.

So you're saying Jem made a mistake, corrected said mistake, but is still wrong because he doesn't point it out? The correction itself means nothing because of that?
Sounds more like dramatized opinion than professional advice, really.
And judging by the wording here, "[Thanks David, Via PlayStationLifestyle.net]," I'd say that's acknowledgment.
Here's assuming "David" being "D.Vader" who appears to be from PSLS and, frankly, doesn't seem too upset. But I may be reading that repeated :P emote wrong.
