Down in Olliwood

OlliOlli is one of the PlayStation Vita's hidden gems; a game so infectiously addictive that it should probably be outlawed. So with this in mind, we're delighted - if slightly concerned - to report that the indie darling will be receiving a sequel. Set to launch on PlayStation 4 and Vita in March 2015, the game is officially titled OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood. Groan.

This frantic follow-up includes a bevy of new and improved features, including ramps, grind-switching, four-player multiplayer, and split-route levels. What's more, the original game's signature pixel-art style has seen a makeover, now looking much more cartoony and vibrant. Finally, developer Roll7 has revealed that the title's filmic conceit means that all of its levels will pay homage to classic cinematic locations.

In other words, you can look forward to grinding your way through the Wild Wild West. Will Smith will never see it coming. What do you make of OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood? Were you a fan of the first game? Secure your helmet in the comments section below.
