PlayStation exclusivity window for Pub Fund 'only a year against Xbox'
Sony Computer Entertainment America wants indie games on its new PS Vita handheld and hopes its pub-fund program can allure more developers.
The Pub Fund is a Sony initiative to match the development costs of a game project in return for exclusivity.
Games that have taken advantage of the scheme include Explodemon, Joe Danger and Burn Zombie Burn.
Ted Regulski, manager of SCEA Developer Relations, said the PlayStation exclusivity window was not permanent. Usually it means one year against Xbox, although Sony is willing to negotiate PC releases.
He said Sony was in particular looking for projects that highlight the unique features of the PS Vita, such as its dual touch-screens or gyrometer tech or its 3G capabilities.
