Arcade classics on the PS3? It’s “undoubted”

John Hight, director of external development at Sony‘s Santa Monica studio recently said this interesting bit:

Sony’s third party publishers will undoubtedly provide updated versions of classic arcade games.

He said this during an interview at FiringSquad. Of course don’t expect Sony to have the initiative to get people to put their arcade classics on their Network. You see, in the same interview he also says this:

First party development wants stylish games that are fun. Our goal is to provide gamers with cool experiences that theyÂ’ve never seen before.

Of course they’re giving third party people lots of incentives to develop for the PS3, for one thing they’ve got a huge 500MB download limit at the end of their fishing poles. It seems that they’re making an effort at welcoming third party devs when they are developing downloadable games for the PS3, this despite the recent rumors about them being a bit too greedy.

If you’ve got a good concept for a downloadable game that you’d want to let people download on the PlayStation Store, Hight gave these instructions for you to follow (yes we’re repeating this quote just because some of you may be sick already of “bad” news regarding the PS3):

Register on our site www.playstation.com/beyond. We’re looking for teams that have good ideas for games. Again, we want fresh new concepts – some aspects may be found in other games and genres but the core game experience should be unique. Games should be easy to pick up and play – we don’t ship a manual!

Now if only they’d hurry with coming up with a firmware update that allows you to download while playing.
