Schafer working on downloadable XBLA/PSN games?
Schafer's "very interested" in XBLA/PSN games, existing Brutal Legend tech means he can make a "smaller game".

Tim Schafer has suggested that he's currently working on a downloadable game for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, saying that he's "very interested" in the idea of releasing a downloadable title and that his next game won't be a "big monstrosity" like Brutal Legend.
"I'm very interested in those kinds of things," said Schafer, talking to Eurogamer about Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network games.
"Those could be a way of getting creative ideas out there without risking $30 million on them. When you risk $30 million on something, publishers want to mitigate their risk."
"If anything is in your game that might alienate a single customer, they have to take it out. That's something that's really hard to work with."

"What we don't want is to have them look cheap.
"The great position that we're in now is we have this engine from Brutal Legend that we invested millions of dollars in, so we can make a smaller game but have it look really nice. We can have all the shaders, effects and tech we built for a bigger game in a smaller game."
Schafer added that the publisher, who is still to be announced, will be announcing the new games "pretty soon".
Tim Schafer's latest game, Brutal Legend, released last year on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but was reported to have flopped at retail despite Hollywood star Jack Black taking the starring role.
