Visceral Are To Focus On One "Big" Game Per Year. Are Looking Into PSN.

Perhaps corroborating rumours we heard earlier this month, Visceral Games has announced they are working on PSN titles alongside their big-box release Dead Space 2.

“Just like the packaged goods space and the big AAA space, [the download PSN market] comes down to quality and innovation and being able to bring something that’s interesting to the gamer,” Visceral Games’ Nick Earl told GamaSutra.

“But yes, absolutely. I think we’ll have some interesting offerings over this year and next that show our confidence in the space.”

Nick went onto confirm that Visceral will focus on one big game per-year, rather than multiple projects.

“What I’ve learned being general manager of the studio for the past nine years is you can overload a studio, and conversely, you can do extremely well financially, and at the end of the day, we need to be able to do that to continue to attract investment and be able to do the sort of creative endeavors we want.

“I know it sounds kind of trite, but we really believe that. We’ve really taken that on board here. What we put out, we want to put out at the absolute highest quality mark. We don’t need to do three of those a year. One is plenty, if we continue to drive that kind of quality here.”

That Dead Space Extraction port is seeming more and more likely at this point though. Let’s hope it gets announced with Playstation Motion Controller support to boot.

Eeee, Dead Space: Extraction Could Be Coming To The PSN.

Kotaku are reporting this morning that two more entries in the Dead Space franchise are headed to the Playstation Network. Most interestingly so, one rumoured title is Dead Space: Extraction, last year’s Wii shooter that sold all of five copies worldwide.

A survey forwarded to the video games blog hints at the same “guided first-person experience” that hit the Wii, but in “full HD”, with a tentative price of $15. The survey received by Kotaku seems to be aimed at gauging interest for the products, so allow us to be the first to respond: YES PLEASE.

A second Dead Space product is hinted by the survey too. Entitled Planet Cracker, it’s described as a “resource strategy game where players will manage a CEC Mining operation”. Apparently, in-game achievements will allow you to fatten up your resources in the full version of Dead Space 2 when it launches.

Awesome. Properly awesome.
