Oh dear, sweet PlayStation.Blog, how I have missed you. When we were last snuggling under the covers in the fall, I was announcing Sideway, our upcoming action platformer based on the in-development cartoon series from the wonderfully twisted minds at Fuel Entertainment. I then spent hours (which turned into days) hanging out in the comments section, waiting for somebody to ask me about my dogs or that time I met Kris Kristofferson.
But no. No, all you wanted to talk about was the game.
And what a game it has turned out to be! If you donāt believe me, CRAM THESE INTO YOUR EYEBALLS and I dare you to tell me I am wrong!
Oh, did the screenshots convey that we have hours of mindbending levels full of danger and challenge that will make the paint run from your veins? Or that we support drop-in, drop-out couch co-op so you can play with your friends or that the bosses in the game are unlike any youāve come across in your gaming life before?
Did the shots at least convey the basic conceit of the game: that you painted over the wrong dudeās tag, and that you, in fact, are now a moving 2D painting in a 3D world?
Regardless, if youāre interested in seeing what all of the above is really like, weāre juuuust putting the finishing touches on a demo for Comic-Con this week in San Diego. Oh yes, my friends, thatās rightāwhen you come by Sony Online Entertainment at the Con (Booth #4436), not only can you check out the awesomeness that is Sideway, but you can also win some cool Skullcandy headphones and earbuds when you come by and play the game. Perhaps most importantly, as a bonus, youāll get to hear me kvetch about the heat and how much more crowded and sweaty Comic-Con gets every year and that Patton Oswalt really should be the next Robin.
āBut whoa there, champā¦What about me? Iām not going to be in San Diego this week. How do *I* get to experience this magic of which you speak?ā
I am glad you asked, friend. Because if you read the headline at the very top of this blog post, you will learn that immediately following it is the Earthās very first look at the teaser trailer for āSidewayā. See? Reading can be fundamental *and* rewarding.
Hope that wets yer whistles, folks! You can come by and play it with us this week at the Con!
