Beautiful hand-drawn platformer will run at 1080p/60fps
Most press releases are boring, awful things. This one here, for example, is pretty bad right out of the gate. Far as we can tell, most press releases are so stuffy because the people writing them are business types, with suits and ties.
So, in accordance with that free-wheeling game developer spirit, we’ve decided not to announce Dust: An Elysian Tail for PS4 ourselves. Instead, we’re going to pass the proverbial baton over to one of the stars of Dust: An Elysian Tail and let her do it instead.
There is no way this could possibly go wrong.
“Hello, internet-people! I’m Fidget, co-star of Dust: An Elysian Tail. As you can see in the photograph displayed above, taken moments ago in a candid fashion, I’m playing the game with a DualShock 4! That’s no Photoshop job, that’s the real deal! Dust: An Elysian Tail is coming to PlayStation 4 REALLY REALLY SOON! I KNOW! It’s crazy! Crazy like a nimbat!
“So, what is Dust: An Elysian Tail? I’m glad you asked, this being a press release about it and all!
“Imagine a 2D side-scrolling platformer, with crazy-fast swordplay and screen-clearing MAGIC supplied by yours truly. There are power-ups! Special abilities! Hidden passages! A whole world of STUFF to find! Main quests! Side quests! We’ve even got a quest where you can choose to put poison ivy into some jerk’s laundry! I KNOW! It’s magical! Let’s poison his laundry TOGETHER!
“Now, if you can, imagine all this awesomeness is hand-drawn like an old animated movie from the ’80s and ’90s, but with art at crazy high resomolutions! Like, 1080p! People tell me that’s pretty darn good! Also, 60fps. I’m guessing that’s some sort of speed? Like, the speed of awesome? I don’t know much about these things, though. I mean, look at my hands! I’m not plugging anything into expensive TVs with these ham-hocks.
“Explore the award-winning hand-drawn world of Dust: An Elysian Tail on PS4, coming soon!”

Wow. This was a big suprise. But i’m kinda happy this is happening. The game was fantastic on PC.
If the price is right, i will gladly be buying it!
ok, this is really amazing to hear!, I haven’t been able to complete much of the PC version but i loved the artstyle and general idea of the game itself, its fantastic to hear that this will arrive on the PS4 soon!
Oh good thing I copied my question from the other thread
“Why is it better to pick it on PS4 instead of PC/Android/iOS/tablets”
I picked it up in bundle on steam… already played it…. so really give me a reason why should I buy it. Sell it to us.
(anyway it’s weird day, so many multiplats today)
Here’s your answer: Consider all the platforms a game is on and choose the one you think you’ll enjoy the game most on. Contrary to common believes, the developer doesn’t care where you spend your money, as long as you spend it on his game. So please learn to decide for yourself and stop spamming.
