Christian Svensson: "Still talking to SCEA and SCEE about it however there's been no progress at this time."
"They have to make exceptions to approve this sort of project in the West: one that runs on PS3 but doesn't have trophies or make use of regular PSN for online play... it uses a modification of adhoc party which doesn't exist in the West.
In short, it requires them to localize and launch SCEJ network services (which is development work and QA/support on their side) that don't currently exist in either territory and a release it from the usual platform requirements for trophies, etc. It's not trivial on Sony's part.
And we won't start the localization process until we know we can bring it out here (as much as I know you guys want it)."[/p]Source
Glad to know they want to localize it, sucks that they can't yet.
