I've heard Amazon are either on time, or late. I've used Prime for my Ridge Racer delivery, so it should come on time, or the day after.
days till launch...
Sound Shapes
(working title)
Sony (Queasy Games)
- Release date: 2012? ('soon')
- Official site (UK): uk.playstation.com/psvita/games/detail/item377388/
- Videos: Trailer
- Features: Touch controls (front and rear); level creation and online sharing
Announced way, way back in June 2011, about the same time we were hearing rumours of the NGP’s real name, Sound Shapes is a wondrous mixture of platform-game and music creator sure to win you over with the synaesthetic brilliance of its concept and polished delivery. Use the multi-touch capabilities of the screen to lay down a few notes and some beats, from a collection of both synthetic and sampled instruments, and before you know it, you’ve got a great-sounding musical loop. Now add some platforms and hazards that react to the music and you’ve got a screen for your new platform level. Tweak the sound and tweak the platforming elements until you have a most harmonious challenge and you can share it with the world.
The game comes with a single-player campaign, of course, which will both entertain you and inspire you, showing you all kinds of interesting ways to mix the sound and platform elements of your own levels. Plus the inclusion of songs and sound material from none other than Deadmau5. And apparently, everything you see in the built-in levels can be recreated in the game’s editor. When you’re not creating levels, you’re controlling a sticky round blob who can traverse any surface (there’s a similarity to the charming lead character of PlayStation Minis title The 2D Adventures of Rotating Octopus Character) and it’s your task to traverse the levels, collecting the music and avoiding the bad guys and music-triggered hazards like laser beams and crushing pistons.
When this was shown off at E3 in 2011, it garnered a lot of admiring commentary from the gaming press, who had come to see the Vita for the first time and, although they’d been expecting to see the likes of WipeOut and LittleBigPlanet, this fantastic original title came out of the blue and its potential was immediately obvious. It may not garner the mainstream attention that the likes of Uncharted and FIFA will undoubtedly receive, but expect this game to wow us all on Vita when it comes out... ‘soon’... (according to the developers during an online chat on the US blog on 1st Feb)
Also, I hope Amazon don't deliver people's Vitas a day before release. I've got to be somewhere on Tuesday, but not on Wednesday. I wouldn't want to come back home knowing that I've missed the post. >.<
