OlliOlli to, erm, ollie onto PCs

MCV Staff 28th February 2014 Business News

One of Vita’s recent breakout hits is to receive a release on PC.

Roll7’s OlliOlli, which arrived on Sony’s portable last month, will be published on PC courtesy of Devolver.

The game, which can best be thought of as a back-to-basics side-scrolling affair in the style of early Tony Hawk titles, currently has an 80 per cent average on Metacritic.

It had originally been in development for iOS but switched to Vita after Sony was impressed with an early demonstration.

Gamasutra reports that as soon as Roll7 became aware of Sony’s enthusiasm it began experimenting with physical controls and was pleased with the results.

The team eventually agreed to (limited time) Vita exclusivity, with Sony helping to fund the game’s development. The flip side is that extra work will be required to convert the game into non-Sony SDK form for a PC-friendly release.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
