In an interview with G4, Croteam CEO Roman Ribaric said the company originally planned on releasing Serious Sam HD on the PlayStation Network, but ultimately fell short for financial and time restraint reasons. Essentially, he wants to know from PlayStation 3 owners whether or not they are willing to wait for its release on Sony?s console several months after the game?s release on PC and Xbox Live Arcade.
Ribaric stated: ?It was either to do PSN by the same date or forget about it. There was also a thought to find another team to do it, but nobody was either willing (a.k.a. not enough time/money/interest) or realistically being able (or crazy enough) to do it in such (a) short period.?
Still, he says, the game would work well on the PS3. ?It would feel perfect to have it on PSN as well,? he said. ?However, we are a garage team of 20 people, although with a larger garage now, working on Serious Sam HD for PC and XBLA platforms. Along that, we are developing Serious Sam 3 and Serious Engine 3 tech for both platforms. Now, I know we are good, but we are not that good to add PSN and finish at the same time. Just kidding, we are that good, but we are not supermen.?
What do you think? Would you like to see Croteam push resources towards a PSN release of Serious Sam HD? Leave a comment with your thoughts.
