Ready at Dawn working on big new IP for PSP
In an interview with Ready at Dawn’s President and Co-founder Didier Malefant, he mentioned after finishing Daxter the company is currently at work on a new title for the PSP.
Question: You’ve mentioned in previous interviews you’d be curious to see what Ready At Dawn (RAD) could do with next generation hardware, have you had a chance to dabble in that at all, and what do you think of the three next generation offerings from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo?
Answer: Not yet, we’ve been pretty busy with our next game (which is also a PSP title). We’re always excited by new hardware though, it means new toys to play with and new ways to implement our ideas. As I mentioned before, we’re not the kind of developer to complain about the features of this platform rather than that one. They all have their quirks and their advantages and that’s what makes working on new platforms fun to us.
Question: What’s next for RAD, will you be working on an original IP next, or continuing an established franchise? If you can’t tell us what’s next, could you at least give us a hint as to when we might hear more from you?
Answer: As I mentionned above we’re working on a new PSP game which is using a licensed property. Just like Daxter, it’s a project we pitched to the people who owned the rights to the property as opposed to having a publisher come to us with an idea. Just like Daxter, it’s our very own take on the license and I’d be very surprised if this doesn’t become one of the most anticipated PSP games when it’s announced. We’re going to push the limits once again with this game and I’m very excited about this.
