Ready At Dawn officially ends PSP development |
Listed in: News Tags: Ready At Dawn
Ó
Well, you probably saw this coming last month, but at least Ready at Dawn has now made it official (we thank Sunjon for the tip). The developer has announced that in light of God of War: Chains of Olympus' upcoming launch in Japan, they are now closing the book on their PSP dev plans. Quoting the studio's official post:With Chains of Olympus going Gold in Japan (やったー!!ビッチズ!), weÂ’re now officially done with PSP development.
So today we sent all our devkits back and seeing all these boxes ready to be picked up definitely marks the end of an era here at Ready At Dawn.
CanÂ’t wait to show you guys what we have in storeÂ….
As some of you may recall, creative director Ru Weerasuriya previously discussed some of the reasons behind Ready at Dawn's decision. One reason was the studio's focus on two specific platforms - the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It's anybody's guess at this point regarding what they're up to, though we'll let you know if we receive any more updates regarding this matter.

So again, please quit spamming.

No matter what anyone says though. People are going to still pirate, so the PSP isn't going to see as many games as it would if they legitimately bought some. They're hurting the system overall, so hurting themseles as well since they won't get as many great games as they would have.
I understand if you're a young kid though and you have no money. But if you're actually making money and you like a game, purchase it instead of leaving it on your Memory Stick for all of eternity.

I sure as hell wouldn't have bought it. Hell, I wouldn't have bought a PSP in the first place if I knew beforehand that I'd have to pay for the games.

Before you call me a pirate though and put me down for somewhat defending piracy, realize that I own 112 PSP games (yes, UMD, case, and manual). I just know from experience that many people who have downloaded games will end up buying the game at one point or another. # downloads doesn't equal # of sales lost....the number isn't even close.

Also, the number who download a game, 1/4 of the sales supposedly, how many are actually going to buy it? I'll be generous and say 10%. That's 2.5% of the sales lost now. Now, how many are going to buy it used from Gamestop? About 1/4 probably. That leads to a very very minor loss in sales honestly.
Piracy is bad, Supporting game company's is good. Unfortunately, the world is full of good and bad people.

GoW is NOT one of those "junk" games though. It was amazing. Yet with how short it was I was also glad I got a chance to try it first.
The good news from all this is that the PS3 may actually get a game worth buying. So far I dont have one, simply because every time I go to buy it. I look for a game that is worth the cost of the system, and I cant find it. Maybe I am getting too old? I am having more fun with my $10 copy of My life as King on the wii, then ANY recent PSP or PS2 or PS3 or Xbox game of late!!

If you don't already own the PSX version, then it was definitely a great purchase, because it's a great game regardless what system it's on.
If you haven't picked this one up yet, though. Pick up Wild ARMs XF. Just as good as FFTactics is as well as a whole hell of alot harder.
