PSN: Creat Working On Wakeboarding, Kart Game For PSN

creat.pngCreat Studios, the people behind Cuboid, Mahjong Tales and Magic Ball on the PlayStation Network, have revealed that they're working on two new titles on the platform.

These are a little different from those three titles however, instead of creating neat puzzle and arcade titles with a twist, they plan on bringing the quality of a "retail video game" to the PlayStation Network, according to MHT

The Russian developer are working on two titles - a Wake boarding game, and a Kart racing game. Neither game has an official title as of yet. Interesting ideas which could certainly work well on a digital download platform rather than retail.

Interestingly the Kart racing game sounds like it may be taking a more serious approach to the development. Blimey! Games were working on a serious Kart racing game for XBLA and PSN, but with their recent merger with Slightly Mad Studios it may not exist anymore.

Creat Studios' three PSN titles got good reviews and had a lot of style to them, fitting many niches that the PSN hadn't filled prior to their release. While their Tony Hawk title for the Nintendo DS was less than stellar I have high hopes for their upcoming PlayStation Network titles.
