PSP Devs Should Pony Up

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the put-up-or-shut-up dept.

President of development house 'Ready at Dawn' Didier Malenfant has given a short interview to GamesIndustry.biz. In the piece, he lays out his feeling that developers are to blame for the lackluster title library of Sony's handheld console. From the article: "'Everything is compromised, and it bugs the hell out of me when you hear a lot of developers saying, Well, we can't do this that way because it's a handheld game, or We can't do this because it doesn't have a second analog stick.' 'Those are all excuses,' Malenfant continued - observing that the original PSone controller didn't have any analog sticks, 'And there were great games on that.'"

    Sony needs to open up the development on the PSP.

    Sorry, but I think you mispelled a word. Here, let me fix it for you.

    The cheap RIAA-member b*stards who won't give up a peny and hired some goons to make a rootkit need to open up the development on the PSP.

    There! :)

    Wait, something's not right... o.O

    Yeah, load times are ridiculous in some games, there was a video of the PSP version of Smackdown vs. Raw where it took almost 7 minutes to load. It got removed, but there's another video where someone has time to play another game while waiting for it to load.

    The game loading for 7 minutes or me watching a video of a game load for seven minutes.
