Matrix Coming to PSP?
Source: Several job listings on the Shiny Entertainment Web site.
What we heard: This morning, Shiny sent out an e-mail blast to the games press announcing that it was hiring new programmers. But unlike most hiring spam, two of the job listings listed in the e-mail had interest beyond the usual job-seekers and headhunters.
First up was a listing for a “PSP Programmer.” Though the listing gave no information about the game, it would be Shiny’s first for Sony’s portable. Given that most PSP games to date have been ports of existing PlayStation 2 games, odds are this listing is for an as-yet-unannounced portable port of the recent multi-console release, The Matrix: The Path of Neo.
A second Shiny job listing is of particular interest to those watching the next-gen console race. Though ostensibly for an “Xbox 360 Programmer” position, the listing also asks that applicants be able to work “together with PlayStation 3 and Revolution programmers on converting existing code base to run on Xbox 360.” Since CEO Bruno Bonnell told a 2004 investors’ conference that a next-gen Matrix game was likely in the development pipeline, the Shiny ads seemed to confirm Neo would jack into all three consoles.
