Tim Schafer has revealed his Double Fine company is testing ideas with Sony in the run up to the PS4 release.
Speaking at PAX East, Schafer told Official PlayStation Magazine that Sony approached him for the first time.”This is one of the first times where we’ve been approached by a platform holder like Sony and asked, ‘first, what do you guys want from this new box? We have this new feature, what could you do with it?’
”We’ve already got some guys playing with some of the new features to see what we can do with it.”
Schafer admits Sony’s willingness to get the simple things right could attract many indie developers to the console.
”Just doing things like letting us patch our games when we want to, put our games on sale and release our games in territories that they should be released in – just doing a few things like that can make a developer very enamored of you.”
Could Double Fine be about to join Jonathan Blow on the PS4 landscape? It seems likely.
