Rebellion devs give PSP Go two thumbs up

One such vet would be Rebellion, developer of Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, The Simpsons Game, Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, to name a few.

Co-founder Chris Kingsley elaborates, “[W]e’re right behind this new device. We see a bright future ahead for the PSP.” In fact, they’re liking the new design so much that they’re definitely interested in making new games for the PSP Go, although it’s not clear at this point if they mean it to be exclusive. After all, Sony did say that there will be no exclusive titles for the PSP Go, as it was not intended to compete with the 3K in the first place.

It is a bold move into the future by Sony but one that was bound to happen sooner or later. It will open up a lot of opportunities for a wider range of games from established genres to new innovative concepts that otherwise would be too risky to develop.

In the past the games market has always been about maximising shelf space and sales in the first few months, but this can really help to expand the market and extend the sales life of titles for many months or even years.
