Bo Andersson pratar XBLA och PSN

Lättare sagt än gjort

Bo Andersson från den svenska spelutvecklingsstudion GRIN, som förra året släppte det alldeles utsökta nedladdningsbara spelet Bionic Commando: Rearmed, pratade med Develop magazine att det kan vara lite knepigt att få ut spelen på just tjänster som XBLA och PSN.

"It's really nice that, whoever you are, you can get the same sort of attention [on XBLA and PSN]. I don't think the big publishers can muscle their way in for more exposure on the platform; it's a level playing field. That promotes quality." His brother Ulf, the company's creative director, admited that actually getting onto that field can be tricky.

"It's still much easier to make digital games on the PC than it is with XBLA and PSN. With the consoles' online platforms, Sony and Microsoft have their own rules and regulations to follow, and you have to have a pretty robust [bug testing] session to get your game out there," he said. "That's something which smaller independent developers run into." Sounds like Sony's Pub Fund could be quite useful for bringing on the extra bug-squashing muscle.
Glöm inte heller att man nu kan köpa Bionic Commando Rearmed från PSN för ett nedsatt pris.
