Where do you see the PSP a year from now?



Are you ging to implement any forthcoming peripherals in any future game?



What are your views on homebrew? :)

What is your next project going to be and for what console(s) is it going to be on?

Great work guys, a few of these have been added to the list, let's see some more!

Was the decision to require the 2.6 firmware update in order to play Daxter Ready at Dawns decision, demanded by Sony, or due to Daxter using functions not present in previous firmwares? If not for the frimware requirement I would have bought Daxter the week it came out. As such I have no plans to buy it.

Do you have any thoughts on making another Daxter game?Also,I'd like to comment on how much I loved the first Daxter.It was hard but thats what I like.Games these days are too easy but you guys give a challenge.

Let's try this AGAIN.



1) What are your views on abortion? (Nah, don't include this, it was a joke in case it's not blatant enough

Is the Daxter engine being used in the new Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters PSP game?

they have to make us another jak/daxter game fr the PSP! and PS3!! I really hope they do

Hi,



First of all, I would like to greet you warmly from Poland - good job folks!



Let me say that I disagree with numberss 08 and 18 - I really liked Daxter. Graphical excellence is one thing, but giving the game a sense of style is other thing. I really liked the main character - and it was one of the main reasons for me to finally buy a game. I also loved the Matrix minigame (Neo-Daxter gets me every time) and I still play it every now and then. All the little touches (Daxter taking kung-fu stance while he's bored, the way he places himself to sleep) all contribute to general impression. The train tunnels level was also amazing - to give this sense of gloomy industrial feeling on such a little screen is an achievement. Plus, technically there is nothing to complain about - in Burnout Revenge there is a lot of moving or disappearing triangles, textures are not too great in many places, and even though the game is real fun, this spoils the experience a little bit. No such thing with Daxter - together with Syphon Filter these are two best-looking games on the system. So congratulations on a job well done.



And now, for the questions :



1. I was about to ask the same question as kvadair (no. 14), namely if the firmware requirements are forced upon you by Sony or are your choice due to some or other reasons (if so, what reasons?), but it is already there.

Still, I would like to tell you that even though I have firmware 1.50 and am unable to play Daxter from UMD, I have bought the original in order to show my appreciation for your work. I am forced to play using ISO image from the memory card for now, but I actually DO own the game.



2. How did you actually manage to avoid the long loading times that are a nightmare in some other games? Being a (very mediocre) developer, I would hazard a guess, that between each section there are some transitions (elevator ride, tunnel, looong staircase etc.), so the actual job gets done there (deleting previous section's objects, instantiating new ones). Still, is this process very continuous or more granular (if it is not a secret, of course)?



2.5. This is actually a little technical curiosity on my part - do you actually compress the level (and/or other) data 'on the flight' to fit into 32Mb of system memory, or do you just very carefully manage your objects and tailor the levels not to contain too many entities/level data at once?



3. Does any of Daxter's creators own a cat? I know this sounds silly, but some of the mimics and behaviour of our favourite ottsel do look very similar to those I observe on the daily basis in my cat. He doesn't talk, though. But if he did, he probably would be boasting shamelessly about his successes, just like Daxter.



4. I have heard quite a lot of people say that Daxter looks like (or simply is) a meerkat (think Timon from Lion King) or a squirrel, any comments on that?



5. I have never before played any of 'Jak and Daxter' games (although now I am tempted to), can you tell me why did it took Daxter two years two help Jak?



6. Are there any chances of another Daxter (or Jak and Daxter) game on PSP? If not, then what are your current projects?



7. Did the effort put into game repayed? It often happens that some games (or software or equipment) that set a new standard for the industry do not necessarily prove beneficial to their creators. So without entering too much into details (obviously), did it work out?



8. General remark - you should think about something better for the multiplayer. I know it is not as easy as it sounds, but these bug duels were... well, honestly, rather mediocre. If your game has flaws, this is one of them.



9. Another remark - consider it a tip, if you like. I think that some demo of your product would be a good thing. So maybe next time you create something, you could actually make a brief demo so that people can have a peek at the game and test it before buying (like shareware games in the old times).



I wish you lot of good luck in your future projects and if I recall any other questions, I
