Rockin’ Android Rockin’ On To Consoles
Rockin’ Android started off with translated compilations of Suguri and Gundemonium, two doujin games, for PC. In the future, some of their indie developed shooters are coming to consoles.
“Porting our games over to Xbox Live, PSN and WiiWare has always been part of the plan,” Enrique Galvez, President of Rockin’ Android explained to Siliconera. “We made a splash at Comic-Con International recently and received a lot of attention from the big guys, so it’s in the works for next year. Sadly, I can’t say too much yet.”
Rockin’ Android blasted onto the scene with a smorgasbord of shooters, all of which are homebrew titles from Japan. To date, Rockin’ Android released four titles: Suguri Perfect Edition, Gundemonium Collection, Flying Red Barrel, and most recently Qlione which has a style reminiscent of Geometry Wars.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
