Rebellion, the Oxford-based developer that has delivered numerous titles for the PSP, has told Develop that it is ready to support Sony's new handheld.
When asked if the studio is interested in making new games for the PSP Go, Rebellion co-founder Chris Kingsley replied: "Absolutely, we're right behind this new device. We see a bright future ahead for the PSP."
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Acquire, famous for games like Tenchu and Octopath Traveler, becomes KADOKAWA subsidiary. Can this mean a revival for beloved series?
I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.
Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
Well this is kind of silly. Even if they didn't 'support' the PSP Go if they made a PSP game it would be on the PSP Go.
It is pretty cool.. I'm a big PSP fan and it's pretty likely that I'll get one 2nd-hand for cheap at some point. Though if Gamestop offers a similar trade-up deal like they did with the DS/DS Lite DSlite/DSi, I might hop on that.
It'll be interesting to see what they do in terms of piracy control for the new sku. I'm not sure if the 3000 has been cracked yet, though if it has, it took them a good few months to get it.
This thing is going to fail so bad, not only are downloading games very slow on the PSN network, the elimination of a utility format = fail.
This is worst than the UMD. :|
Anyway, thats what you have a Gameboy or DS for. =)
honestly i have been thinking for some time already that PSP is gonna die soon, but now it looks like the future is brighter than ever..
i am happy:)
I have to say it's the best handheld ever made, both form factor-wise and control-wise. The buttons feel perfect, and the analog stick is Beefy.
