Prolific PSP developer Ready at Dawn’s heaped praise over Sony’s forthcoming NGP, believing the pint-sized platform’s got what it takes to “really define what portable gaming is.”
Speaking at the recent DICE summit, the studios’ creative director, Ru Weerasuriya, said the PSP successor’s probably capable of churning out titles that are “better than” some of the current PS3 games up for grabs.
“I have a smile on my face whenever we talk about the NGP because I think overall that console has the potential to really define what portable gaming is,” he commented.
“You know, we did that also with the PS3 and all that, but the NGP — not only with the touch screen capability, but the screen, and just the capacity of actually making a game that’s probably better than PS3 games that you can make right now — for me, it’s like the thing. For portable gaming I don’t think there’s anything else in the future.”
Ready at Dawn has been responsible for some of the PSP’s biggest hits, specifically God of War: Chains of Olympus, God of War: Ghost of Sparta and Daxter. NGP releases in Japan later this year.
