Mike Bithell talks to Pixel Dynamo about the trials, tribulations and expectations of developing Volume; his sophomore release which follows, but doesn't attempt to replicate, Thomas Was Alone.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The stealth genre is one that some would argue doesn’t even exist – many titles include stealth elements, but actually fit into one of a number of other genres like action, platformer, or third-person shooter. Ever since the breakout success of the Metal Gear franchise (in particular Metal Gear Solid), though, the genre seems on much more stable footing and it demonstrated that you can have a veritable blockbuster on your hands relying only on stealth mechanics as the main gameplay element.
In recent years we’ve seen other things like Assassin’s Creed, Hitman and Splinter Cell continue to push the genre forward, although it still has somewhat limited appeal. Thankfully, the Vita has a healthy selection of stealth games available (and even more with backwards-compatibility), meaning if you’re looking to do some sneaking on the go then you’ll be well served with the console."
"After announcing earlier in March of this year that Mike Bithell’s indie stealth-hit Volume, will be receiving a limited physical release on PlayStation Vita; Limited Run Games have now finally revealed a release date along with print numbers for the game title."
watching videos it looks like it plays similar to Metal Gear Solid VR missions. Id probably pick up if it was about 10$
It's a good game yeh. If you're worried about money, pick up this limited release, play through it and resell it afterwards, you'll probably double or triple your money.

Tenchu! NICE! Wow, I haven't seen anyone mention Tenchu in such a long time. Really, they're my favorite stealth games from back in the day. Ayame or Rikimaru?
That's a toughie
but seriously
It's either between Proto-Rikimaru

Nothing beats the original that won Shuhei Yoshida's heart.
@miyamoto Okay, my mind is officially blown. First, at how gutter the first Tenchu test footage is(that jump sound effect..), and second...Wow! I had no idea that was motion capture. I immediately knew what I was looking at when he started moving, though. Incredible. Thanks a lot for showing me those, I had no idea those videos existed.
What about the one that was so stealthy, no one played it at all because nobody knew it was there?!
I'm actually having some fun with Shadows of Mordor and sneaking around the orcs and uruks
