Sony wants Ready At Dawn back for new PSP game
Now isn’t this just absolutely rad?! Or, RAD, rather. Ready At Dawn may have ended their PSP development after Daxter and GoW: Chains, but not if Sony‘s got any say on the matter. That’s radical, dude! Could we see new fruits of their labor come E3 2009? Cross your fingers!

According to Sony’s John Koller (my, my, is he just making his rounds across the media recently or what?), they’ve been having talks with Ready At Dawn. Since two of RAD’s PSP games proved to sell a lot, Sony now wants them to go back to revisit another franchise and release another game for the PSP!
Ready at Dawn is a fantastic developer, they did God of War: Chains of Olympus and Daxter. The conversations with them continue.
Don’t give up on Ready at Dawn yet.
In mid 2006 the hardware had seen a bit of a bottoming out, a lot of publishers decided to reallocate their resources. In 2007 the PSP 2000 came out and we saw a big increase in sales. When we met with developers in 2008 they said, ‘How can we get back into the PSP?
We went in with a number of ideas and really laid it out. We had recommendations about franchises that made a lot of sense for the PSP.
And that looks cool. Back in December, RAD already revealed that they plan to reconsider the whole “no more PSP games” plan. With RAD having a change of heart and Sony trying to get them back, we now have interest from both parties concerned. They could make it work!
Online petition for new Jak & Daxter for the PSP please. And call me a monkey’s uncle… if that “PlayStation IP yet to be revealed in E3” would be just that – a new J&D game for the PSP, imagine!
