PlayStation Mobile's Last Ever Game Looks Pretty Rad

We gave up covering PlayStation Mobile a few years ago, so we're part of the problem. It became clear to us in those early days of the platform that, despite being a decent idea, it wasn't going to get much traction – and it made more sense for us to cover the native PlayStation Vita games primarily; y'know, the ones that people were actually clicking on.

It's probably partly our fault that Oh, Deer!, an OutRun-inspired arcade game that sees you using a station wagon to turn wild animals into venison, is going to bomb, then – but we're going to try and give it a push before Sony jettisons it's cross-platform initiative on 15th July. To be fair, the platform holder did pay to help get the game made, so you can't say that it never cared.

And there's some pedigree behind it. Brandon Sheffield, the ex-editor of Gamasutra, has conceived the irreverent release, while Streets of Rage 3 composer Motohiro Kawashima has created its soundtrack. Even SEGA legend Yu Suzuki recommends it: "It's not too bad," he apparently told Sheffield after a brief hands-on at the Game Developers Conference.

The game's not out just yet; it's currently in certification. The developer expects it to deploy at some point over the next couple of weeks, where it will be available for a matter of days before Sony pulls down the whole PlayStation Mobile storefront. A native PlayStation 4 or Vita release is possible, according to Sheffield. Fingers crossed, eh?
