Sideway coming exclusively to PS3 in 2011, first concept art

PS Blog writes: "Greetings PlayStation.Blog! I’m the studio director of Playbrains, and I’m here today to announce the awesomesauce that is Sideway, a unique adventure platformer set in and around the oh-so-gritty streets of New York City. The characters and story have been birthed from a fantastic world created by the quasi-evil geniuses at Fuel Industries and W!ldbrain."

Lol wtf?

[InfectedDK]

Are you from another dimension?

[SasanovaS1987]

a bit like LBP?

[lazysey]

like that one game called Blade Kitten.

[Vegeta9000]

But I like the barfing bunny.

[Prcko]

extra art style,can't w8 to see more!

[-Alpha]

Yeah, it looks funky

[Akagi]

Is this going to be like Joe Danger/LBP in terms of 2d/2.5d? If so, I'm sold already.

[-Alpha]

I'm assuming that's why the platformer is called sideways.

[Akagi]

I mean will the game be rendered in 3 depths, i.e: background, foreground and the middle. Just like LBP.

The dreamcast game Jet Grind Radio. Art style wise.

None that our lawyers will admit to.

that made me lol.

[cayal]

lol, that's awesome.

[Apotheosize]

PSN title? eh..

[blackburn5]

Liking the art styles. Somehow it reminds me of Psychonauts mixed with LBP2 for some reason. Well if it is PSN we can be sure it's something unique if anything. BTW what is up with this site anyway? How did we get from nice looking game, I want to see more to PS3 fanboys and overhype? What is wrong with you people?

[cliffbo]

this looks pretty interesting

[AliTheBrit19]

Perhaps the only thing I respect about Sony, is that they make sure the system gets a constant supply of great exclusives

[moparful99]

Why is that the "only" thing you respect? You don't respect constant innovation, listening to the fanbase, investing in top quality hardware and software? Hmm your life must suck then..

[nycredude]

Ali that doesn't make any sense. Ps3 is a gaming console and if there is a constant supply of great exclusives then what else is there to complain about? The whole point of gaming is to play games.

[WoshJills]

They secure a constant supply of exclusives because they make money for other people, instead of ONLY their self.

Like the Pub Fund. Sony pays for development cost in return of exclusivity.
Or the PlayStation Network - free for developers and customers.

[eagles1990]

But this looks awesome!!!!!! I can't wait

[bviperz]

Cool looking, can't wait to sample the action.

[Malice-Flare]

one to watch...

[N4OGs]

none are never on the x360. Go buy a ps3 if you still want to be considered a gamer. To many people are missing out on awesome games because they dont have a ps3 when they should.

I cant wait to play this.

also x360 has like zero platformers.

[Technical]

xbox, bite us .

[Rip-Ridah]

Well one thing I can appreciate is the social skills of this guy. Look at the replies from him. I said to myself, "Ok self, he'll comment on the first 50 comments (first page) then drop off the face of the Earth." Low and behold, after 200+ comments on the blog, there he was still chirping away. Good to see some enthusiasm and excitement from him. That alone caught my attention and will in turn get me to at least see what kind of substance the game has to offer. Kudos to him for the community involvement.

[seedaripper1973]

not only that, his retorts were fuck off funny...i appreciate a bit of wit and this chap has it in droves...so by default i shall purchase his game.
