NYCC: Hands-on with charming PS3 platformer Puppeteer | Destructoid

Destructoid writes:

"I finally had a chance to go hands-on with Sony's upcoming PS3 platformer Puppeteer here at New York Comic-Con at a PlayStation press event. It's as great as I imagined it would be after hearing about it at gamescom earlier this year. I was able to play exactly what was shown at gamescom, and I really enjoyed the solid platforming and charming presentation."

Out of all the games released next year, this is the one game that is my most anticipated title. In an era full of AAA-blockbuster shooters and over-the-top genericism, this is by the far the boldest attempt to release a game like this which can easily be overlooked. Hopefully, the reviews would receive it just like they did with LBP in order to inspire other developers that they don't need XX million dollars in order to compete in the game industry.

Sony's Licensing Strategy May Be the Best Route to Reviving Some of PlayStation's Lost Classics

Sammy: "It’s sad that PlayStation has moved on from some of these iconic brands, but it would be worse watching them rot. At least with this licensing strategy, there’s a legitimate opportunity for more great franchises to get a second chance. And if they sell really well, there’s always the chance Sony may decide to bring them back."

Love this idea. Let other companies release reboots of these classics to a wider audience. Everyone wins.

It's what most IP holders do.

Remaster Puppeteer. It looked great on PS3 but it would be nice to have on PS5 with fast loading and some sort of 4k

Little Big Planet, lol. No.

paddy95118d ago

LBP3 and rayman legends are the best here.

jznrpg118d ago

Puppeteer is really good. Nobody played it because it came out right before PS4 came out. When I went to pick up Puppeteer from GameStop some people were trading in their old consoles for PS4 preorder.

Man I'd love to see GR3. Unfortunately Somy didn't do well to advertise these games and AAA gaming is what most gamers preferred.

This gen has been different, indies and smaller games are what people absolutely love now so I wonder how these games would do if they were to release now. These games would also need a PC release.

Cacabunga121d ago (Edited 121d ago )

GR2 was nice but i don’t think it’s made for a home console. It played like a dream on vita. Same for tearaway. Ps4 version was boring but vita was glorious.
Japan studio made amazing titles for everyone. Call them AA if you like but they can work on jrpg reboots and sequel of bloodborne. Maybe even let them remake old gems even from other developers. I don’t think a partnership with SNK to develop Koudelka remake will be unnoticed. But bad management is where it’s at. AA disappeared but let’s invest everything in gaas

Knushwood Butt120d ago

GR2 was never on Vita, oddly, but yes, the fist game was best on Vita and the gyro controls really suited the game and worked well too. Vita had a ton of tech built into it.

I platted GR1 on Vita and PS4.
I couldn't play GR2 more than a couple of hours. Bought it day 1. Still have it. Tried twice but just couldn't get into it.

isarai122d ago

I mean can you really say it closed when 90% of the staff is at Asobi Games which was originally a team in Japan Studio?

blackblades121d ago

Don't try to spin it the studio is no mo end of story

pwnmaster3000121d ago

I mean he has a point.
I get it the studio is gone but what makes the studio, the people who works there.

For example people say BioWare is not BioWare no more because the people who made BioWare left.
Team Asobi may not be named studio Japan no more but if 90% of the workers is from studio Japan then it’s damn near the same and they still in Japan.

isarai121d ago (Edited 121d ago )

Not trying to spin it, that's literally the facts, Asobi absorbed Japan studio, and a small portion left but most of the Japan studio staff are still there 🤨. They're certainly taking a different direction that Japan studio but it's still the same people in the same office working for the same publisher 🤷‍♂️

Hell even the DNA is the same. Astrobot shares a lot in common with how it feels and controls with games like puppeteer and knack

blackblades121d ago

Saying that is like saying they gonna be making gravity rush 3 which is a no. The studio itself is gone the workers that went to asobi isnt gonna be making the same games

isarai121d ago

Wtf are you going on about, no one said any of that, why you makin sh!t up just to argue? 🤣

Scissorman120d ago

that's a bit of poor argument. i mean look at naughty dog. they don't make crash, jak & daxter , or uncharted games anymore either.

Bring Puppeteer to PS5 please! Love that game. Gravity Rush collection would be ice as well.

isarai121d ago

I've been shouting that games underrated nature for so long. I honestly think it has more unique charm and heart than astrobot, and if people rediscovered it they would really see Japan studio has always been a special studio

jznrpg120d ago

All the different heads and abilities were awesome. The aesthetic was awesome. The level design was so much fun. It is the true meaning of underrated, sadly.

Melankolis121d ago

Understandable. Adult gamers, while still having interest in AA gaming, have so little time that they choose to play AAA instead. Indie too, being fun and cheap, who could resist? they are too, time-consuming.

Eonjay121d ago

I think your on to something but for me it feels different. For one, even AAA games can get too time consuming. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is gigantic. Some would say obsessively so. It's quite an achievement simply due to the amount t of content. I definitely have less time for games now and the problem is that there is so much to play. I don't even get to half of the AAA games I want to play.
