According to Annapurna Interactive, the studio has a few staffers who worked at Sony Santa Monica and were involved with the original release of Hohokum, allowing the company to work out a licensing deal with Sony. I got a shock when I saw Sony Santa Monica’s logo pop up on screen and remembered that the God of War studio helped bring the indie to PlayStation. While it’s certainly not the first art game of its kind, you can make a clear connection from Hohokum to recent games like Ynglet or this year’s Please, Touch the Artwork.īut what’s especially surprising about the title is that it was originally a Sony-published game. I lost track of time as I sailed from level to level taking in the vibrant illustrations and bopping along to its excellent soundtrack. Some levels are simply made up of abstract shapes, while others paint more of a picture book mini-scene. Toy-like interactions dot its various levels, as players can bounce into objects, look for hidden eyes, and do some light puzzle solving that requires minimal interaction. Players control a serpent creature that flies around colorful 2D levels like a kite.
The PS4 has an advantage in third-person stuff like Grand Theft Auto, Watch Dogs and so forth.Hohokum is an abstract game that plays like an interactive art exhibit. If I had to pinpoint a pattern I'd give the Xbox One an advantage across shooters and sports games. Games like Assassin's Creed IV will lean toward the PS4 while Call of Duty: Ghosts leans toward Xbox One – often these perks are timed with later releases on other systems. Meanwhile, both Sony and Microsoft have numerous content bonuses available for a variety of cross-platform games. Fifteen of the titles will be available as physical media and digital download, while the remaining 18 will be digital download only.
Like the Xbox One, many of these are cross-platform and many are exclusives. According to Microsoft, these games will all be available on day one:Īccording to The Verge, Sony has a total of 33 launch titles which will be available by year's end. Microsoft has a total of 23 titles lined up, many of which are cross-over, with a handful of Xbox exclusives such as the really great looking Dead Rising 3. The full launch lineup for both Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PS4 have been revealed, though more games could be added and it's always possible that some of these games could be delayed.ĭavid Thier posted the Xbox One line-up earlier today.
