Thanks to Shuehei Yoshida of Sony, we now know that not only will the PSP Suite for the NGP be catering to full-length games, but also triple-A "short form games". In fact, the two have both been in development since 2008. This was the information he revealed at a recent Q&A over on the UK PlayStation UK site. 






"Short form games on PS Suite will on both PlayStation Certified Android devices and NGP. However, the true heroes on PS Suite will be small, independent developers, who are much more nible and have some creative ideas that have never been seen before. I'm very excited to see what kinds of games these small developers will provide via PS Suite later this year."






He did make mention of triple-A titles, and also went on to explain their development of it. "We are working on our popular series as well as brand new concepts, large games and short form games, augmented reality games, touch only games and network only games. We are alos looking to expand over time from hardcore to casual games, games for younger consumers and non-game applications as well.






We understand traditional games are not the only entertainment that people look for, and NGP allows us to develop various types of entertainment on the same hardware platform, which is very exciting."

So how does he think will the NGP open up the PSP experience to new genres? "Various uniue user interfaces and digital distribution will help developers experiment with many different types of games," he said, "whether they be intuitive, casual games using dual touch; augmented reality games; location based fun activities or network only, free to play, online games. The possibilities are endless for creative developers."
