Popular jaanese publisher SNK have decided NOT to support sonys latest console until well after launch.

This comes as a blow to SONY Japan as they plan to release the PS3 this year.

"My first impression is that it's expensive. The PlayStation 2 is good enough. It's small and cheap. For us, for manufacturers, we have to invest in a new system, and the PlayStation 3 is a risk. There won't be enough consoles at launch. Few consoles mean few software sales. We need to wait three or four years. Maybe 2009-2010 is a good time to release a game for the PS3."

This follows the announcement that ATARI will be holding off PS3 development until 2007

I wonder how long before Sony says we dont need SNK. This is a big blow for the PS3

 

[hippie_hunter]

SNK still develops games

Losing Grand Theft Auto exclusitivity is much worse than SNK which doesn't develop must have titles for the Playstation console and Atari which is near bankruptcy so it really can't even afford developing for the Playstation 3

Atari is going to be gone very soon anyway, according to their own statement they were rejected by the banks and only have enough money to last them until before 2007. Or something to that effect. Maybe cutting out the PS3 saves them some money.

SNK makes their 2D sprite games, and the only like 3D game they make is their ok King of Fighters 3D series. It's not like they'd be pushing any new ground breaking 2D effects using the PS3 (They are pretty low budget, Metal Slug owns all) so it's not the PS3 will be missing out on anything that they can't play, full BC and all that.

Don't roll your eyes buddy boy:

It makes sense for them:

1) They are low budget
2) Their games are all 2D based (King of Fighters and all that)
3) They're on King of Fighter XI and they're still using the same sprite sets, it's not like they would magically give their games a budget when working on the PS3
4) They can release all their titles and have them played on the PS3 and the niche crowd that's into their games will buy it
5) 2010 would be the timeframe of the end of the 360/PS3 generation when everything like devkits and such are super cheap and the software support is stronger then ever, then they can make their games for the PS3 and it will play on the PS4.

It's not like this is a rolleyes worthy situation, for this company it makes sense, they aren't made out of money and wouldn't have the staffing or budget to push the PS3 anyway, heck they don't try to push the PS2.

It's not like Sony lost a dev like the atari situation (for one year right and Atari is still releasing their PS2 version?)(Atari doesn't have the money period but they are a different company then SNK) SNK is going to be doing exactly what they have been doing on the PS2, and you'll be able to play all their offerings on the PS3, and no company would make a 2D game with high res progressive scan quality sprites anyway, WAY too expensive.

If there really was a flaw in what I was saying you'd have mentioned it by now.

But if you don't like eharing the truth, I guess resorting to rolleyes is an ok response.

 

[Axid]

I didn't even read anything you said after you mentioned the rolleyes


So shut up and go download Garry's Mod 9

 

[Zenien]

It won't work.

 

[Axid]

Don't be stupid and make sure HL2, CS, and HL2 DM are updated before you play it

 

[Zenien]

They are, stupid head.

 

[Axid]

Then unistall GMOD and reinstall it, baby stealer

XBOX LIVE ARCADE and Behemoth beg to differ

There's a huge differencebetween made in Flash sprites and the traditional sprites in games like Street Fighter.
