Ninja Theory: NGP “A Clear Shot At The Hardcore”

Heavenly Sword and Enslaved developer Ninja Theory has joined in and expressed their impression about Sony’s newly revealed NGP(PSP2).

The UK studio, which is currently hard at work on Capcom’s reboot of Devil May Cry, dubbed DmC, has told CVG that it’s excited by the “high end capabilities” of Sony’s NGP (PSP2) and that it considers the device as a “clear shot at the hardcore”.

Ninja Theory co-founder and tech chief Mike Ball said that he is excited about the NGP’s high end capabilities and the decent control input system(applauding Sony’s decision to introduce twin thumbsticks to the console) which makes it a clear shot at hardcore gamers, “I’m certainly excited by NGP as a platform because it’s a clear shot at the hardcore market with high end capabilities and decent control input systems,”

He also commented about its high-end specs that makes the handheld’s graphics look like next to or even identical to a PS3 or an Xbox 360, “With that configuration they can build on the user base of 360 and PS3 players who might consider a current PSP game to be an inferior experience. Also, whilst I absolutely adore my iPhone, gaming on it is rather like snacking on a pack of crisps, I’m hoping that the NGP will provide the full pie ‘n’ chips.”

When asked what price tag Ninja Theory hoped NGP would carry, Ball said he is keeping his “fingers crossed for something in the £200 – £300 range”.
