If you're a Sony loyalist, it's unlikely that you've played the neon-lit arcade series Geometry Wars, which has always made Microsoft's consoles its home. But now, that's all going to change, because for the first time ever, you'll finally be able to take part in the intergalactic mayhem in Geometry Wars3: Dimensions on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 at the end of the year.
The core of the action lies in its name, as all the new gameplay features revolve around dimensions. Rather than playing in a flat square blasting enemies as they attack, the battle grid can now warp, and even take the form of 3-D shapes, spicing up the combat by allowing enemies to creep up out of nowhere. It won't all be about sneak attacks, though, as boss battles have been added, forcing you to use strategy to succeed. Multiplayer has been gifted to the series for the first time, too, making player to player interactions more intriguing than simply smashing a friend's high score. If your'e eager to see all the new action for yourself, check out the embedded trailer that we've embedded.
Are you looking forward to even more arcade shooters? Do you think that this quick pick up would be perfect on the Vita? Leave your high score in the comments section below.

TxK on PCP. I'll have me some of that.
Yes. Just yes. GW1 on 360 was awesome!
The original Geometry Wars on the 360 was an excellent game, I'm glad GW3 will be releasing on the PS4. Definitely picking it up on the PS4.
Heard many good things about Geometry Wars, the impression I got was that it was Xbox's Super Stardust (as it were) was a pleasant surprise to find out it was now coming to Playstation
Geometry Wars hasn't been limited JUST to Microsoft...there was also Geometry Wars: Galaxies on Wii and DS. But this IS the first time it's coming to PS, so that's cool.
@adf86: Inasmuch as they're both twin-stick shooters, yes. There are notable gameplay differences, and I'm not entirely sure which I prefer to be honest.
The Geometry Wars games were great. I am eagerly awaiting this.
This is my kind of game. This is what I deal with for a living- write CMM programs to measure automobile engine castings. Intersecting features and shapes on the CAD model to form the desired geometric characteristics- lots of planes, diameters, radii, spheres, lines and angles.
This game is right up my alley. I love geometry.
This game would be perfect for the vita
@Stuffgamer1 True but I was more commenting on that both games were probably the best downloadable games you could get very early on in the console's lives. Certainly Stardust was for PS3 & I have no reason to believe Geometry Wars wasn't for 360 either.
