Sony to offer 'full support' for DJ Max Fever |
The odds of DJ Max Fever
becoming a runaway success are slim. In spite of an obvious uphill
battle, Michael Yum and the rest of the PM Studios gang are trying
their best to get the Korean music game to the hardcore masses of PSP
owners. The upcoming US version of the notoriously difficult music game
won't get a gimped localized soundtrack, which will certain lessen its
mainstream appeal. "We pretty much knew we were going exclusively for
the hardcore gamers," Yum told The Escapist.
However,
Yum notes that their best bet comes with the hardcore market. "In the
US, active PSP owners are the hardcore gamers. There aren't many
casual-oriented PSP titles, you know? We didn't think we were going to
attract the casual audiences the first time anyway."
Thankfully, there's some hope for DJ Max Fever, as Sony has offered the team their "full support" in promoting the game. "Just earlier this week, Sony offered us full support for the title. They want to push specific games that they see as key titles ... They also want to put our game on the billboards and in the commercials, so yeah, hopefully you'll be seeing a lot more of DJ Max Fever with Sony backing it up." While PSP Fanboy readers are most likely familiar with the game, Yum and the rest of the DJ Max team will need all the help they can get -- Sony's vote of confidence doesn't guarantee them success, but it certainly evens the odds just a litlte bit.
