OMG! Here's a bit of a Push Square poll for you on this fine Thursday morning: how many of you remember République? None of you – well, that was to be expected. A bit of background for you, then: this was one of those early Kickstarter success stories that promised the Earth and then rapidly fell off the radar. A stealth game starring David Hayter and helmed by Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots producer Ryan Payton, it originally deployed on the PC and smartphones. And now, as you may have already guessed, it's coming to the PlayStation 4.
The title's been picked up by GungHo who will help publish the release as a console exclusive on Sony's new-gen machine. Due out in 2016, the PS4 package will include all five episodes, which have released piecemeal on the abovementioned platforms over the past three years. The game itself, for those who don't know, sees you using security cameras in order to guide a female character to safety. The concept was actually later "borrowed" by Watch Dogs, so you're probably already familiar with the gameplay loop. All the same, we've included a trailer below.

The most boring game I have ever seen in my life, please don't come to Vita, please.
@italodance Looks pretty good to me!
Wow, I'm surprised I never heard of this game. I like the hook of only using cameras for stealth and the story is pretty interesting.
@italodance We must be looking at something different, haha. It looks interesting to me, but it can get old fast. So this would probably be better on the Vita over the PS4, since you can just do small amounts at a time on the go.
I remember reading about this back when it was upcoming on iOS. It was back when people had faith that the App Store could ascend to heights greater than just endless F2P trash and when people were talking about Rovio as the next Nintendo (though given Nintendo really falling off the radar for most people, it's become true after all, just not how they'd have wanted it).
I think the PC version actually came later as it didn't do that well on iOS, probably because it was drowned out by all the match-threes and so on. So I guess eventually they've come around to consoles. Well I guess Hayter fans will get their Hayter stealth game on PS4 after all.
Ha, I really liked how you could use cameras in Watch Dogs, figures they didn't think of it first...
this looks really cool, but I'm going to skip on the game. I would rather play as her, than as some no-face hacker opening doors and turning on stoves.
