40 Download Titles for the PS3 in Development - PS3

Speaking to Gamesindustry.biz, Sony's Phil Harrison has stated that they're collaborating with developers on 'about 40' titles for Sony's EDI (that's e-Distribution Initiative, a similar project to the Xbox Live Arcade system).

'My strategy was to encourage developers to push the machine technically, creatively, artistically - to innovate in lots of different ways. But don't be restricted by ghettoising games into a particular genre, or a particular display mechanic, because what we've seen on other systems tend to be retro 2D games, and we're pushing the 3D capabilities of the PlayStation 3. Plus, the fact that every PS3 has a hard disk drive means that we're not restricted by the size of the download, and that has a huge impact on the kind of game design that you can do.'

If that's the case, we should be seeing titles that go beyond a simple 2D remake of an old game. Interesting to say the least!
