News 80s Anime, After Burner Fans Should Add Rogue Flight to Their PS5 Wishlist
Flying high
Rogue Flight’s thumbnail is doing the game a disservice. We’d glossed over this trailer for Truant Pixel’s newest title, assuming it was another lousy low-effort indie shmup. It’s actually an After Burner or Star Fox-style affair with an 80s anime aesthetic, reminiscent of Space Adventure Cobra or Battle of the Planets – it...
Mini Review RUNNER (PSVR2) - Akira Inspired Arcade Shooter Will Put You Through the Wringer
Too wild for you to handle
Iconic 80s anime Akira serves as the inspiration for RUNNER, a breakneck sci-fi arcade shooter which arguably tries to do too much. As a smuggler in an aggressively hostile world, you must outrun robo-cops through seven dynamically generated stages, dual-wielding pistols while you issue a little justice all of your own...
Mini Review 2MD: VR Football Unleashed All-Star (PSVR2) - Revamped Arcade Football Doesn't Fumble
Hail Mary
Who wouldn’t want to be an NFL quarterback? The fame, the adulation, the roughing the passer penalty flags – it’s the thing dreams are made of! 2MD: VR Football Unleashed All-Star is an upgraded version of Truant Pixel’s arcade-inspired two-minute drill simulator, and it’s come a long way since we reviewed it on Sony’s original...
News 2MD: VR Football Unleashed All-Star Makes the Endzone for PSVR2's Launch
First-person football
After a slow start, the PSVR2 launch lineup is getting a little bit ridiculous. And Truant Pixel is lobbing another title into the mix: according to one of the developers on ResetEra, sequel 2MD: VR Football Unleashed All-Star will be ready in time for release, on 22nd February. We were big fans of t
News Next-Gen PSVR Game Brings Anime Motorcycle Shootouts to PS5
RUNNER has been inspired by AKIRA
Truant Pixel has been watching plenty of AKIRA, it seems. The developer – perhaps best known for its suite of PlayStation 4 themes – has announced next-gen PSVR game RUNNER for PlayStation 5,
News PSVR Quarterback Sim 2MD Is Getting a Free Social Screen Multiplayer Mode
Blue eighty
Even if you don’t like American football, we really recommend Truant Pixel’s arcade-themed quarterback release, 2MD VR Football. The game – which sees you attempting to work a two-minute drill against an increasingly stubborn defence – has an alarmingly accurate throwing mechanic, and you can even design your own plays before a...

News This PSone Theme for PS4 Deserves a Commercial Release
Kutaragi would be proud
Truant Pixel’s been churning out awesome PlayStation 4 dynamic themes for some time now, with its amazing PlayStation 2 animated wallpaper frequently topping the PlayStation Store charts. Sometimes the developer will upload unofficial concepts that it’s been working on behind-the-scenes, and this PSone theme simply has to...
Brady bunch
While we appreciated VRFC’s goofy attempt at bringing five-a-side football to PlayStation VR, it never really felt like the right fit for virtual reality given the limitations of the technology thus far. American football – as Europeans will eagerly point out – makes much more sense given that, y’know, it’s mostly played with...
News 2MD: VR Football Looks Down Field This Spring on PSVR
Titanic touchdown
We quite liked virtual reality soccer sim VRFC recently, but we couldn’t help but think that good ol’ gridiron would be a better fit for PlayStation VR. Fortunately, the folks at Truant Pixel got the memo, as it’s lining up 2MD: VR Football for release on Sony’s headset this Spring. Are you ready to become virtual Tom...
News VEV: Viva Ex Vivo Makes Biology Bad Ass on PS4, PlayStation VR
Best celler
Reading the PlayStation Blog post for VEV: Viva Ex Vivo, a biological survival game for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR, is a bit like going back to school: it doesn't make much sense. Look, we were listening when you spouted intel about membranes and white blood cells, Mr. Sturgeon – but we doubt even you would understand the...
