The big announcement David made is that he is leaving Sony Santa Monica/Sony to form a new independent studio with Scott Campbell of Incognito. Color me not surprised.

Eat Sleep Play will consist of David, Scott, and a bunch of key players from Incognito/Singletrac. Don't get all excited Nintendo and Microsoft fans, because Eat Sleep Play has a contract with Sony to publish 3 games exclusively for them. After that, however, who knows. I bet they extend that contract even further because everyone at that company is comfortable with how Sony handles their work. As David said in his blog entry on this subject:

Quote
Again, we are working with Sony and that just feels great. We met with some other interested parties but at the end of the day, Sony is our home, our family, and we're really thrilled and honored they wanted to work with us and continue the relationship we've spent almost 15 years cultivating. So in many ways, it's like very little has changed, other than the pay cut.

So I don't think they will be making stuff for Microsoft/Nintendo in the future. I'm sure they'll be exactly like Insomniac, a totally independent company that likes working with Sony.

The company's first project is an enhanced port of the PSP game Twisted Metal: Head-On for PS2. The game will also include 5-7 levels from the unreleased Twisted Metal Black: Part 2, and a documentary on the history of the series. Their first original game will be out sometime in 2008.

So, from all of RFGen, best of luck to David, Scott, and co with Eat Sleep Play, and we can't wait to see what you do in the future!

It will be nice to see some of there stuff on a different system. I hope they slam out the trhee games.
 
As I said, I think the chances are low that they'll be making stuff for other systems. David said that he met with many other companies but came back to Sony for publishing because of the great relationship they had. Everyone at the company has a great amount of respect for Sony.
 
Unless a game is first party, you can expext to see an "exclusive" ported over to other systems.

Well now, there's one less reason for me to buy a PSP. Wink
