Vita hands-on preview - Mutant Blobs Attack (PSLS at PAX)

"Developer DrinkBoxStudios is hard at work on Mutant Blobs Attack, the group’s second game involving a blob and the first blob-related game that I know of for the PlayStation Vita. I stopped by the developer’s PAX booth and got lead into a back cargo room to check it out." -Cameron of PSLS

Sounds amusing in the short term but not for the long haul really -- for me at least. Nice to have more games launching with the system though.

Still does nothing to generate the "killer app" interest - which is the biggest part about moving new hardware.

Well that floating thing is sort of new. The previous game you could do that by using magnetic abilities to repel or attract to surfaces. Does he have an actual flying ability now instead?

Gets bigger by consuming mostly anything around it. Is this like Katamari Damacy at all?

[BigWoopMagazine]

Kind of. The first one (on PSN now) was sort of a 2D side scrolling katamari thing. You absorb stuff, which you can then fire back out to hit switches, and reabsorb afterward. Absorbing more stuff made you grow, so you could absorb bigger things and progress to the next section of a given level. You eventually earned two abilities too, one was a magnetic attraction/repulsion which let you float over surfaces or stick to walls and ceilings, the other was an electric absorbing one used to solve simple puzzles.

Well I'm intrigued.

[doctorstrange]

This should be good

Vita will have so many launch titles it's almost unbelievable.

[edureboucas]

Ew! Blobs! Not into that... >.<

[BigWoopMagazine]

You don't have to touch them!

More games more games more games!

Another PSV game that I'd rather just play on my PS3, which I already can with the original. ^_^; Still, good to see more games getting added to the platform.

If Sony can work things so people can buy PS3 and PSV versions of a game simultaneously at a reasonable price, they will probably get the edge they're likely looking for.

Assuming the portable market can truly support all of these devices.

The uncharted game is reason enough for me to get a vita. So this is a bonus
