One-time YouTube smash Goat Simulator will extend a hairy hoof to the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 from 11th August, developers Coffee Stain Studios and Double Eleven have announced. The animal-based adventure launched on the Xbox One a little while ago, but we've been pressing the studio about a PlayStation port ever since. Unfortunately, those non-disclosure agreements are pretty hard to get past.
For those out of the loop, this is more of a stupid sandbox than a true simulation. Playing as a kid of the furry variety you're free to explore the game's nanny (goat) state, where you can bunt walls, blow s*** up, and perform Tony Hawk's Pro Skater-esque tricks. The self-proclaimed PewDiePie bait will feature local co-op for up to two players on the PS3 and four players on the PS4. It'll also release with a rudimentary version of GoatVR.
"GoatVR is the most authentic 'simulated GoatVR experience' that doesn't require a helmet or anything," explained Mark South on the PlayStation Blog. "Although it's not quite ready yet we felt that it better to stay ahead of the crowd and let it out into the wild. We still need to do that part where it connects to an actual headset but for now you can enjoy a simulated GoatVR experience without it."
The question is: will you be butting heads with this bonkers outing, or has the ship already sailed on the indie affair? Trot out your response in the comments section below.

"Simulated goat VR" huh? Just a first-person mode or something more?
@Totaldude911 It's just a first-person mode by the sounds of things.
The caption made me smile
looking forward to this, nice steam blower off erer
Depends on the price. If it's $10 (which I doubt it will be), I'll pick it up out of curiosity, but if it's more than $15, I'll wait until the price goes down or when it's available in another Flash Sale.
Mm nice, I've been wanting to try this out for a while
??? huh? sooooo you get to be a goat in an open world doing goaty things...........and tony hawk like tricks???? this is really weird but i think i'll like it lol (my post made it seem like i dont normally like weird things, that is the opposite of the truth fyi)
Haha fantastic, I've wanted to give this a go ever since I saw the first trailers for it! Definitely picking this up if the price is right.
Definitely next month's PS+ free game... sigh.... (I know Aug 11th is the wrong date for that, but this is the quality of game we've been getting)
On steam there is also GoatZ and Goat MMO ... here's hoping we get those DLC's
@Gmork___ they forget to mention the tongue. Yes. Do not underestimate the tongue.
@Mega-Gazz What do you think we should get on PS+ instead of games like this?
@LieutenantFatman This game has been out on steam for a long time (Apr 2014) and has been on sale for as low as like $2.50. It is regular price on steam $10. And honestly the game has the staying power of a fart joke, right?
So while I won't judge a game for being "indie" (What does that mean, really?), promoting a year old fart joke I don't mind dissing.
