According to game rating boards worldwide, Sega's air battle game may be coming to the PlayStation Network.
After Burner Climax has recently appeared on the Australian Classification Operating Branch website, but like many games it shows up as Multiplatform. The Korean Game Rating Board however goes a little deeper, and reveals that the rating was applied for by the local Sony Computer Entertainment branch.
The game has been in Arcades for some time but there had been no talk of a home release for it. The game was developed on the Sega Lindbergh board. There might be a chance that this will also come to the Xbox LIve Arcade, but as we've seen from Outrun Online Arcade and Virtual On: OT, Sega isn't above going for a strictly multi-platform route when it comes to digital titles.
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
