PSP Devs Should Pony Up · Slashdot Mirror

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.'"

something i've always wondered,... by Anonymous Coward · 2006-03-10 10:59 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I've been a PC programmer for some time now. I've always wondered, what would I have to do to write a game for the PS2 or XBOX? What languages do they use? Is there a hefty licensing fee? yes I suppose I could go google around for it, but im pretty lazy.
