Press Release
A COMPLETE VITA REVAMP
FOR THE RETRO CLASSIC!
System 3 is proud to
announce the return of one of gaming’s most loved mascots: Putty!
The stretchy blue blob
is all set to go digital in VITA Vision by way of the critically
acclaimed Putty Squad videogame. Cited by many gaming publications as
one of the best games of its time, Putty Squad follows the story of
unlikely hero Putty in an old-skool platform-adventuring quest for
his kidnapped friends. With reviews such as “this game is fantastic
– 94%” (CU Amiga), “quite simply the best – 91%” (Amiga
Power) and “just about perfect – 90%” (Amiga Format), there can
be no doubting this game’s proven pedigree.
AWESOME NEW VITA
CONTENT!
Putty Squad on VITA
boasts a whole host of amazing new features that take advantage of
the new technology. As well as having all-new rendered graphics it
also has all this:
EXCLUSIVE LEVELS
The VITA version will
also allow gamers access to a whole host of secret levels, which were
previously not available. Gamers will be rewarded for their VITA
support with nearly double the amount of levels (over 120 as opposed
to over 60)! A number of these exclusive levels will only be unlocked
as part of System 3’s location-based services (see below for
details).
LOCATION-BASED SERVICES
Some levels and Avatars
will only unlock and become available when the player takes their
VITA to a specific location. For example, going to a football stadium
will unlock a correctly attired Avatar, visiting the natural History
Museum will unlock an ancient Inca level or visiting the Science
Museum will unlock an outer space level.
REAR TOUCH-PAD
The rear touch-pad will
be used to attack, expand and select items instead of using shoulder
buttons and button combinations. Gamers will also be able to quickly
zoom into the action for difficult jumps and even just to appreciate
the detailed graphics even more. This can easily be done with a flick
of a finger to or fro on the rear touch pad.
PS3-NGP
CROSS-COMPATIBILITY
What with the game also
being in development for PS3, the PS3 and NGP versions will be fully
compatible, allowing players to play one level at home and then
continue their game on their journey to work, on their VITA! They
will also be able to transfer and view Trophies.
EXCLUSIVE CHARACTERS
Over 20 exclusive
characters (enemies and allies) over and above the PS3 version. On
top of that every character in the game has been remodeled in
glorious 3D.
NEW RENDERED MOVIES
Intro/outro and inter
level movies have been re-rendered and will be included in the game.
GAME-SHARE
Multiplayer game-share
options that allow up to four people to compete in tournaments,
either versus or in Team Play.
Only one person needs a
copy of the game in order for their friends to be able to experience
Putty Squad, albeit in a limited fashion. When the link is severed
the other players will no longer be able to play the game but they
will immediately be given the option to buy it from PSN.
AVATAR SUPPORT
As described in detail
later in the document, Putty Squad supports PSN Avatars in a big way.
ONLINE LEADERBOARDS
Easy, constant access
to online leaderboards.
Putty Squad (Vita) will
be available for VITA’s launch in Europe.
