Hotline Miami coming to PS3 and Vita this spring

The debut effort from indie studio Dennaton Games, which has sold over 300,000 copies since its PC launch last autumn, takes place in an alternative version of 1989 Miami, with players murdering their way through the seedy underworld. Now the indie PC hit will be released on Sony's platforms with support for PlayStation Cross-Buy. More details through the link.

I'm happy more gamers will be able to enjoy one of the best indie games of 2012

jujubee884073d ago

Before the VITA launched, I already knew PSN games would be popular but to have so many good indy games so early blows my mind.

It's a good thing too. If/when VITA gets a price cut and memory starts getting cheaper, you could get a VITA, buy PS+, and download a couple of low priced games that will last you throughout the year.

Also, I am hopeful that Mojang hooks up with SCE for some "Minecraft" on VITA. THAT WOULD ROCK!

(Looking forward to buying this one.)

Nice to see this game come to the Vita & PS3. Retro City Rampage has done really well on these platforms so getting something very similar & retro is a welcome addition.

Heard many great things about this game.

Blastoise4074d ago

Looking forward to getting this on my Vita :)

MmaFan-Qc4074d ago

already own it on steam, will also get the vita version, its just too well suited for that handheld.

banditscout4074d ago

This is great news. I had such an awesome time playing this on PC, and now can't wait to play it on the Vita.

TongkatAli4074d ago

Been enjoying the hell out of Rocket Birds. This is going to be my next indie game.

10 years on, Hotline Miami's OST remains the perfect accompaniment for introspective ultraviolence

Do you like hurting other people? Ten years later, it's probably the music that drove you to it, let's be honest.

The Best Games of the 2010s

The 2010s occupy a difficult time slot in the world of gaming. The games aren't new enough to be "cool" but they aren't old enough to be "retro." So basically, they're cheap. Ghetto Gamer contributor Hyp3rblue digs deep--but not too deep--into gaming's past to see what we may have just missed.

Asura's Wrath was underrated and the dlc was one of the few times i actually felt like a dlc was worth the money.

SamPao1187d ago

I remember, was it the dlc that basicly gave you the missing mission that without it the story made no sense? :D yeah great one
Never bought it because of that

neutralgamer19921187d ago

Bob

Bro as someone who loves the game and bought the dlc capcom did it really really wrong. Without the dlc the story was basically incomplete. Dlc should add to the experience not add what was it seems cut from the original game

But we do want this game to be remastered because I feel like too many missed on this game. A re-release with all the dlc with better res and frame rate would be awesome

cbuc11251187d ago

I would upvote this Ten times if i could.

Ryushaa1186d ago

You mean the DLC from the time publishers were literally cuting the ending from the game and selling as DLC. I remember the Prince of Pesia reboot also did this, and they didn't even disguised the tactic, the DLC was called Epilogue (Funny fact: this reboot is available on the pc, but the DLC is console exclusive). LOL

It's a certainly a bit strange, but I suppose we all have our own tastes. I'll let it pass because Hotline Miami is on the list. haha

NecrumOddBoy1187d ago

Agreed. Of all the games that came out in that decade, this list picked the most B tier titles and some of the most just okay games. Not saying you need TLOU or BOTW on there but Skylanders?

SDuck1187d ago

Everytime I see a picture of Asura's Wrath I get a moment of happiness for knowing that niche game and then the realization of why it failed with the DLC that made me hate Capcom to the point of saying I wouldn't buy a game of theirs again!

(bought DMC5 on release)

neutralgamer19921187d ago

No doubt capcom were really greedy back than do you remember on disk dlc that we had to unlock by paying extra and other publishers who tried to fight used game market with their online passes

Skuletor1187d ago

Didn't they lock the real ending behind DLC? That game's still sitting on my shelf as part of my backlog, Too bad I rarely touch my PS3 these days.

Ryushaa1186d ago

I can only say: PS3HEN.

Skuletor1186d ago

@Ryu

Might as well, I have two PS3s anyway

Flawlessmic1187d ago

Terrible list but by god did i love hotline miami 👌👌

Outlawzz1186d ago

well I agree this list is terrible. Had to click just to see how bad it was. If someone wanted to know wt the best games were this decade and stumbled upon this list they would think "wt happened to gaming in the 2010's" lol

The Relationship Between Narrative and Technology in Videogames

KeenGamer: "Videogaming is a unique medium in that its ability to craft narratives is inherently intertwined with the available technology. The story of any game is expressed across multiple levels, both inside and outside the world of the game, and there is a relationship between game and player, through which the narrative is created and explored."
