Lone Survivor Migrates To PlayStation 3 And PS Vita

The survival horror game by Jasper Byrne, Lone Survivor will be making its way into PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. The game previously was existing only for PC and Mac players.

London's Curve Studio will be recoding the game. The game will be English, French and German language options.

Jasper's game has a retro-styled 2D graphics. Though Byrne developed the game for PC and Mac, he is more of a console gamer than PC gamer.

"Anyone who follows my twitter will know that I don't tend to play games on PC, I really am a couch gamer, most happy on my PS3," he said, Eurogamer reported. "Lone Survivor was designed as a console game (in my head, anyway.) In fact, all the games I work on I really imagine being on console."

Byrne's current project that of dungeon crawler dubbed Zelda x Demon's Souls has been forsaken by him.

"I have decided to abandon the project," he wrote on his blog. "It's been a very tough decision to make, quite heartbreaking really, but it IS the right thing to do. It was too big for a single person to make."

"I reached a point where it was getting very frustrating: the game demanded a lot of animation, very detailed level design, and a huge amount of gameplay code, all of which were taking so long that it felt excruciating."

Byrne has said that he would like to complete the game with a team, "It's still a game I'd love to play, and should I ever have a team to work with in future, it's definitely an idea I'd like to come back to."

"It's been a dream of mine since childhood to release a game on console," Byrne says, "And especially the Sony ones as I love what they do most of all," he added.

Lone Survivor was released for PC and Mac on April 23, 2012.
