While fans of the SWAT tactical shooter for the PC may have to wait a little longer before the next game in the series comes out for that platform, people who own a PSP console will be able to pick up their own SWAT title, Target Liberty, this fall from publisher Sierra/Vivendi Games. FiringSquad got a chance to chat with the game's producer Paul Pawlicki to find out more about their plans to bring the SWAT franchise to portable consoles.
FiringSquad: First, how did the idea come about to make a SWAT PSP title?
Paul Pawlicki: It’s pretty simple really. When we were developing SWAT 4 and then the expansion pack, The Stetchkov Syndicate, we thought that it would be a lot of fun to play the game on a handheld system. Because SWAT is a gritty, tactical shooter we felt the PSP was the best platform. Soon after SWAT: Target Liberty was in the works.
