Hardcore Gamer: I, as well as many Vita owners, know that Velocity Ultra is one of the handheld's best games. Its chaotic, yet controlled top-down shooting is not only addicting, but rewarding too. When Velocity Ultra's developer, the UK-based Futurlab, announced that its sequel was hitting both the Vita and the PlayStation 4, many were overjoyed. The early footage of Velocity 2X is breathtaking; I can already feel myself getting sucked in. I recently caught up with Futurlab's Managing Director James Marsden to discuss the finer points of the upcoming PSN title and gaming in general.
Despite being Sony's handheld that couldn't quite make it, there's no shortage of the best PlayStation Vita games.
TSA writes: "Time is frozen for Lt. Kai Tana as she looks at her surroundings, travelling at a seemingly impossible velocity while navigating sharp corners and narrow tunnels with guile. She has to get home, and no one is going stop her, not even the nefarious General Glaive. The illusion is quickly shattered, as I crash into one of the nearby walls. Without a second thought, I press restart for the thirteenth time. This is Velocity 2X, and I have to get her home."
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Switch owners who never attempted Velocity 2X on Vita or PS4: do yourself a favor and check it out, especially if you enjoy scrolling shooters and/or fast-paced platform action. While some of the storytelling is tonally out of sync or corny, and a few stages outstay their welcome, the majority of the game is fast, fluid, layered, varied, replayable, and attractive. Don't wait another four years to play one of the better indie game on the market."
Glad to hear the creator is so modest.
