Ready at Dawn Discusses Originality, Piracy, and Ditching the PSP
June 11, 2008 | 9:27 AM PST
"We feel like we've done everything we wanted to do with the PSP," Ready at Dawn President Didier Malenfant confessed. "We have new projects on other platforms and we like to focus on one thing at a time." And even though they aren't focusing on the PSP, he remains supportive of development for the platform. "Good games sell. Who would have thought?"
When questioned if piracy factored into the decision, he told Joystiq "We sold over 2.3 millions copies of Daxter and are on track to beat that with Chains of Olympus so we're pretty happy with our sales," adding "Could we sell more games if piracy was non-existent? Maybe. But we don't target the market that could be, we target the market that is."
Though no specifics were offered, Didier did offer a little info as to what's next: "We have two original IPs in development and some neat ideas with an existing IP. Most of that stuff is next-gen, but we'll see as we move forward what turns into games and/or what goes in different directions."
But will Ready at Dawn never develop for PSP again? "You can never say never so we're not going to say you won't see any ports of our future games on PSP," he commented, adding that "as far as targeting the PSP specifically like we did in our first two games, we currently don't have any plans for that."
