New Platformer EXPLODEMON! Coming to PSN Later This Year

TGH Writes: "Curve Studios has announced today that they are planning to release Explodemon! the PSN’s next big 2.5D platformer. The game takes heavy influences from platformers of the past. Check out the screenshots and full release after the link."

Nice, seems like PSN is catching up on XBLA's arcade title variety slowly but surely. Microsoft that's the last thing you have left for the "real gamers" you better keep it going...

[playstation_clan]

i agree because i own a xbox, so i cant be biased. The only good games it has is the arcade because non of the exclusive retail games did it for me.
Limbo is a great game but against ps3 heavy hitters, ms better show some games instead of that casual shovelware.

[DA_SHREDDER]

WTF?! Psn catching up to xbox live with games? Do you mean the shovel ware ratio? Yeah, xbox live has more shovelware than even the Wii. I cant argue with you on that there. The psn is home to the best downloadable games of all time. Thats why you can get everything from ps1 games, to full fledged games like inFamous. It really baffles me how alot of you guys on N4G keep on thinking that the 360 does anything but cross game chat right.

About time can't wait :)

[Alos88]

Sounds like the name of a bomb shaped digimon.

[ShadyDevil]

Or a new Pokemon! At least you can tell the Japanese influence.

[redDevil87]

kinda sounds like a jamaican saying "explode man"

lol

[lochdoun]

Seems like a cheap rip-off of the awesome Splosion Man
just like Joe Danger was a cheap rip-off of Trials HD.
Nice try $ony but you fail.

[GodHandDee]

YOU WIN!.....

wait

no?

ok nvm

[Silly gameAr]

lol. Yeah if it's not on Live, It must be a rip off.

[DelbertGrady]

It looks like a kids version of Splosion man. Kind of like Joe Danger compared to Trials HD.

Sony even copying downloadable games. The desperation.

[APOFISBORICUA]

that it looks a little like explosion man but thats not nessesary copying. Ohh and its not a Sony game. Xbox fans feels the urge to compare everything!!

BTW JOE DANGER is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better than Trials HD... and funnier too.

The only games I really want from LIVE on the PSN are:

OUTRUN ONLINE ( WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED SEGA?)
LIMBO
HYDRO THUNDER
and finally the DOUBLE DRAGON HD game released early in the 360 life and then taken out of LIVE.

PEACE AND GAMING!!!!

[APOFISBORICUA]

Did you even read my comment or just the title? Jesus guys you are really pathethic... not an inch of a gamer in you fangirls...

[SA1NTofKILLERS]

Actually I spoke with Curve Studios today and they announced Explodemon before 'Splosion Man, but couldn't start development until late last year. So not really a rip-off. Just saying.

[ShadyDevil]

It is not a rip off. It takes cues from japanese gaming and other 2D actioniers but people cant accept that Sony has an original title on their hands. Besides..the industry exists because people tend to copy great ideas. You would have to be ignorant to say that the Move is not a copy of the Wii, but its just better with 1:1 ratio. Just like both have their own copies of Wii Sports.

[Cueil]

and if it was the other way around would you not be crying foul... I think you would... there would be much bitching and moaning in here

[Godmars290]

Since before Braid at least. Why does it take so long to make a DL title?

And isn't it multiplatform?

[ExcelKnight]

Because the team making the title is a brand new indie startup. Not to mention they were supposed to release this game on Wii/PSP, so the announcement of a release window for a PS3 version when the others don't have one yet is kind of surprising.

[Godmars290]

That its a small team is hardly any real excuse. Braid and the other explosion man title were small teams and yet we're still talking about a game that was announced around the same time which doesn't have a release date.

Looks good!

[niminator]

If Explodemon = Exploding Pokemon

That a thumbs up from me :)

[GeoramA]

I thought this got cancelled. Good news :)

[ShadyDevil]

To clarify It was at one point at WiiWare title, but that fell through the developers now state that it is a PSN Exclusive for now. Xbox version is not completely ruled out.

[tiamat5]

I don't care if you idiots think it's a rip off. If it is a good game or not that is all I care about. I can't believe the level of childishness on this site.

[Prcko]

gonna love this game
