March 25, 2004 - While the conference itself is still early in its morning hours, Sony was good enough to send out early copy for the media's perusal of SCEA executive vice president Andrew House's keynote speech, "Encouraging Innovation in Game Development." Amongst other things detailed in the speech's text is a pre-summary of the planned showing of a living, breathing, realtime PSP demo of a game expected to release at launch of Sony's handheld system next spring.
Titled Death Jr., the game from renown handheld/console developer Digital Eclipse and development group consortium Backbone Entertainment is the first officially-announced and formally-approved title for the system, and will be the first publically-displayed title for the handheld gaming unit as well. While it is unknown whether the game will be shown playable on actual PSP units or just on videotape, or what portion of the presentation will be shown with realtime gameplay (even at the Game Developers Conference, the focus is sometimes on the FMV developers and not the game developers), we do know that senior producer Chris Charla and creative director Mike Mika (of Digital Eclipse) will be on-hand to present the title and announce its exclusive status to the PSP handheld system.
No media or other info are available of the game, but those interested can already check out the character art from the Death Jr. Official Site.

I can't wait for screens / videos of this thing.
