Q*Bert hops up the next-gen pyramid
Sony Online Entertainment has just announced arcade classic Q*Bert will be hopping up the pyramid of gaming consoles and onto the next-gen PS3 via PlayStation Network. No, it won’t be a direct port. It’s going to be a brand new version that’ll have a bunch of exclusive features.
These “PS3-exclusive features” still haven’t been sneezed out of the Sony labs, but we’re sure the gameplay would stay the same. Would the SIXAXIS be used though? New enemies perhaps (Coily must get lonely after all these years)? Will the retro sounds stay unchanged? Here’s what we know though:
- it will be released on (scheduled for, at least) February 22 for US$ 4.99
- can support 720p resolution
- will have worldwide leaderboards
Ah. Leaderboards? If Doris Self (holds Guinness World Record for scoring 1,112,300 points) were to be alive today, gaming gods bless her soul, she’d be right on top of that list. Hail, Queen of Q*Bert!
Say now, do you guys smell a bunch of screenshots? Yeah, we thought so. Check them out behind the “Full Article” link below.
