Following the ‘You Asked For It’ teaser campaign
last month on
www.fanpoweredflight.net, FuturLab finally
revealed a native PlayStation Vita version of its multiple
award-winning teleportation shoot ‘em-up Velocity. They also
hinted at a Velocity sequel in the works.
Speaking to fans of Velocity on PlayStation Blog,
FuturLab’s MD James Marsden introduced
Velocity Ultra as a “director’s
cut”; showing a completely overhauled and unified art style,
visual effects and before-and-after comparison screenshots
illustrating the differences between the original PS minis release
and
Velocity Ultra.
Being a native PlayStation Vita title,
Velocity Ultra also features PSN Trophies and
online leader boards; something that fans of the game had earnestly
requested (demanded) after playing the original.
From James Marsden, FuturLab's Managing Director:
“We couldn’t be more excited about Velocity Ultra.
We’re so grateful to our fans and supporters and we’re
committed to keeping our reputation nice and shiny with this native
PS Vita version of Velocity. I’d also like to mention that we
learned a lesson with our double-countdown clock teaser. We
won’t do that again, though we will continue to tease on a
regular basis...”
Just in case
Velocity Ultra wasn’t enough to satisfy
expectations, Marsden also linked to a
Velocity Sequel Questionnaire, inviting readers to
submit requests for a sequel. Completed questionnaires will be
entered into a draw where 10 lucky people will win a copy of
Velocity Ultra.
