Wow, that's a great write up, awesome

Just FYI, we watched people run out of lives too quickly at Eurogamer Expo and took the decision to ditch the lives system altogether. Velocity 2X no longer uses lives, which makes a lot more sense in the context of a game awarding players for speed. Losing time by returning to a checkpoint (even if that checkpoint is very close to hand) is punishment enough.

Cheers!

This is Curve's gig really, they've handled everything. Amazing bunch of people

It's not much like either of those. Here's the trailer to the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ndgier4RREk

OMG, coloured DS4's look ace.

Just managed to beat the biker helmet dude. Took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out. I was about to give up and then Shahid took the piss on Twitter

Hotline Miami is kicking my ass this weekend. Am loving it!

Hehe. Fun and games

Shellfishly. That's one we missed

Our goal is to sell some PS Vita's!

That's our goal, whether we'll achieve it or not who knows, but we will do our best

Yay! Thanks guys

Can't wait for this. Can't wait for this. Can't wait. For this.

Good times!

Velocity is out on 15th May in SCEA territory, and 16th May in SCEE territory

Thanks for the review Sammy, feeling the love

I'm happy with the way it's going. I've been infruriated with naysayers, mostly within the industry themselves - they can't see that this exact device has been on the wishlist of proper gamers since about a month after the original PSP was released.

I am really looking forward to watching them slowly succumb to the awesome experience on Vita. Rather like watching people switch from PC to Mac over a 10 year period after claiming over their dead body etc.

Long live PlayStation

'Saved' for me...

@antdickens Velocity isn't like other shmups, you don't have to rule at bullet-hell to enjoy it - There's more to it for a wider audience, as this lass describes nicely: http://www.gamercast.net/velocity-preview

I ate Cyclops for breakfast. He was weak.

Thanks so much for doing this guys - amazing how quick you turned those around! Some might say light speed, but we know better than that don't we - hmmmmmz

Cannot wait for this game

Actually that Tibeten scene in UC2 was powerfully subtle too. This all bodes very well for The Last Of Us

Also agree - UC3 had touches of subtle artistry, whereas UC2 was a thrill ride.

I liken them to Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. I loved Solace, and thought it was a step up creative-integrity wise from Royale (Bond /didn't/ get to hump his leading lady for once, and actually had some remorse for resulting in the other girl's death). But people give Solace a bad time because of Royale.

Same situ imo.

and it's Vita blue all over..

Looking great. One of the nicer site design overhauls I've seen
