Putty SquadPS Vita

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-VITA CROSS-COMPATIBILITY
What with the game also being in development for PS3, the PS3 and Vita 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.
