Let’s get to the news you’ve all been waiting for first – Hotline Miami will launch for $9.99 on PlayStation 3 and PS Vita on June 25th! The teams at Dennaton Games, Abstraction Games, and Devolver Digital have worked incredibly hard to reproduce the fast-paced gameplay and super tight controls of the original game, and we couldn’t be happier with how Hotline Miami plays on PS3 and PS Vita.
The PlayStation versions of Hotline Miami will also have an exclusive new mask designed by Abstraction and Dennaton Games. After months of top secret bovine research, we finally get to unveil our new friend: Russell the raging bull.
Russell is hidden early in the game, and when equipped will turn the entire game black and white save the neon text and red blood left behind as you rampage through each floor of every level. It’s a really neat effect, and even changes up the video filter a bit to give the whole game a classic film look.
There are also a bunch of new upgrades, like leaderboards for each level of the game, Trophies, and even touch support for lock-on targeting in the PS Vita version. Plus, Hotline Miami is a Cross-Buy title on PlayStation Network, so you can buy it for PS3 and PS Vita with a single purchase!
Thanks again for all the support. Follow @HotlineMiami on Twitter for more news and fun from now through launch!
Sold! Already bought on PC too.
Awesome! Can’t wait to buy this on Tuesday.
Do you enjoy hurting other people?
Yes.
I see that it’s cross-buy, but is it cross-save? Can I take my progress from the PS3 version and continue on the Vita?
Yep.
Awesome, I’ll have this on Tuesday. :)
Cool, I wanna see why everyone is expecting this game so much.
DAY UNO!
My vita is gonna get soooo much love next week :)
@3 / UncannySilk … It’s funny, the violence isn’t what attracts me to this game. At it’s core, the game is basically a twitch puzzle game where each puzzle has multiple solutions. And the music… the music is so good.
Amazing price and cross-buy?!. Day one purchase from this guy as I love gaming on the run!!!! Thank you for giving us such a good deal in this amazing piece of gaming!!! Cheers!!!!
Getting this and Murmasa!
Remember to wear something fancy.
Cross buy, Cross save, and a platinum trophy for $10? You guys are nuts.
Thank you.
MmMmmmmmmmmMmMmm
Good thing that it’s cross-buy! I really want to play this game on the go, but I don’t have a Vita, so I’ll just play it on PS3 for now (even if I already finished it on Steam)
awesome game I try to resist temptation of buying it for pc and now the wait its almost over :D welldone guys
I hope the second part will arrive for psn eventually of course
Yes! This is gonna be all up in my Vita.
I am excited for this game to come out. I played it at E3, and it was really hard. Anyways, since this is coming out, will the squeal be released for the PS3 and the Vita? It will only make sense, but haven’t heard anything yet. Maybe one can shed some light on this here….
Oh I wasn’t aware that the game is an old school style shooter. Reminds me of True Lies, a game that I enjoyed a lot. Might get it.
This is great news. Platinum, I assume. You will get my support regardless. I have heard so much about this game.
Thanks Nigel and the whole crew, I am pretty excited to have this on Vita. Should be a blast
DAY ONE
Can’t wait. The PC version was amazing! PS fan are in for a treat.
Getting this instead of Muramasa for sure.. Hah.
Gunpoint for PS3 & VITA, please!!
@24 Gunpoint is soooo good. I’d welcome that as well.
Give us UNepic while you’re at it Sony.
Is there a Tony Montana mask?
Hehehe, that would be pretty epic but unfortunately no.
Is it two separate trophy sets or one shared. Can we double up on trophies through cross save?
Whats the price?
DOUBLE DIPP.. cross buy!? TRIPPPPLE DIPPING!
day effin 1!
never heard of it before.
is it cross-buy, cross-save and trophies unlock when you cross save progress from, say, ps3 to vita?
Is the Get a Life achievement/trophy back? Because I will earn it again.
Are PS+ members getting some kind of discount?
I can’t wait for this to come out!
Yes! Great game. I recommend it to all of my friends.
$10? Auto-cop. Swish!
Awesome !!! Hurting people on the go !!
Big fan of the 1st game, got it on steam day one, will Wrong Number get a level builder ? O_o
plz plz plz ^_^
Yay, thanks for a new Vita game.
Will there be a demo?
No demo, but check out the countless video previews and reviews out there and you should be able to see if it’s for you or not! :)
Finally!
“Russell the Bull Only Sees Red” https://twitter.com/HotlineMiami/status/332485193602588674 . . . been waiting on this release. Extremely glad to see it’s finally here!
About time! I skipped this game on PC hoping it would come to PS3 and Vita!
Just a few curious questions:
Will the game be running at 60 frames per second? If so, does it apply for both versions?
Is the PS3 version going to be running at native 1080p?
FINALLLLLY
How’s the PS3/Vita version coming along for Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number?
Very excited! I’m glad you guys chose to bring Hotline Miami to the PlayStation platforms. Trying to avoid PC gaming as much as possible, prefer console/handheld gaming. Will enjoy playing on both my PS3 and Vita. Last, expect a day one purchase from me. :) Thanks again!
Just saw some game play for HM and I must say I am sold! So old school and wonderful! Thanks for bringing this awesome game to the Vita and PS3 as well with Cross-Buy! Playstation Nation is the place to be. :)
