The PSN version of Strawdog Studios’ game “Geon” just launched on the US PSN network and is coming to PAL territories on 2nd October.
The team have spent several months reworking/enhancing the game as a result of feedback on the original XBLA version. The new features in the PSN version include:
- New goal scoring system which encourages player interaction (its essential to stop your opponent scoring),
- Redesigned single player maps,
- Introduction of a new League mode,
- Players have attack and shield as standard (instead of only via a power-up) allowing for greater interaction with (thumping the hell out of) your opponent,
- Redesigned Power-ups with the introduction of new ones such as Bliss’ ghost cubes (which collect pellets for you) and Rage’s extra attack – it’s one angry cube,
- Dramatically improved AI to handle the new game-play,
- 1080p High Definition visuals,
Oh yea, and I think it features PSN trophies too.
A tutorial video is up at http://www.strawdogstudios.com/geon/ and more should follow in the coming days.
Well done to the team who can now relax for ten minutes. Then it is back to work on the Wii version.
