PENNY ARCADE GAME COMING TO A PLAYSTATION(R)3 SYSTEM NEAR YOU

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - July 23, 2008 - Hothead Games today proudly announced that its well received Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One is currently in development for the PLAYSTATION(R)3 computer entertainment system and will debut on PLAYSTATION(R)Network late fall 2008.

Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness is an RPG-Adventure game series set in the comic-book-meets-pulp-horror-meets-H.P. Lovecraft deranged 1920s universe of New Arcadia, delivered to gamers via accessible episodic releases. Players join Gabe and Tycho, the crime-solving team of the Startling Developments Detective Agency, to combat savage enemies and solve mysteries hidden deep in the sinister heart of New Arcadia. The game is the result of close collaboration between Hothead Games and Penny Arcade, featuring distinct artwork and characters designed exclusively by Mike "Gabe" Krahulik, story and dialogue by Jerry "Tycho" Holkins, and all brought to life by the Hothead team.

"We keep getting emails asking why our Penny Arcade game is not on PSN," said Hothead's CEO, Vlad Ceraldi. "We have always said we wanted to have our games on as many platforms as possible to give choice to gamers. All good things take time and we are very excited to be debuting our first PS3 title and look forward to bringing more games to this platform in the future."

The PLAYSTATION(R)3 system version of Episode One will be priced in line with the game on other platforms.

Found this on the Aussie Kotaku while tryin' to dig up the dirt on the Asian version of Blood Curse.

As a Sony stalwart, all I can say is 'awesome'.

    This is awesome news. I was just about to buy this for my PC, but I'd much rather play it on my 50" HDTV than my 10 year old monitor (no 360, or it would have been bought'd by now).

    I'm going to buy it for my PS3 instead of my 360 just cause.

    I somehow missed this announcement two months ago.

    Was surprised to see it on PSN.

    You should change the thread title to reflect the fact that it's $5 cheaper on PSN than XBLA.

    Good ideer. I'd forgotten about this thread. Unfortunately, the overwhelming urge to rent Dead Space (polished in every facet) and Bioshock (omfg! I haven't loved a FPS this much since... I'll get back to you on that) have left me with just enough fundage for my 3 Must Buy Fall Purchases.

    I want you, PAA, but you'll have to wait 'till the big games are dealt with.

    Also it has Trophies, which is neat. Same as the XBLA Achievements.

    Woo just finished it. It was fun.
    Not sure if I will do a second play through for the Immortal trophy.

    Tip:
    Levels and gun upgrades are easy to complete. The one thing I didn't have maxed at the end was my overkill bonuses. Although know that I think about it I'm not sure its possible to max those out. You can't fully upgrade you guns till you get all the parts. And at that point you have killed almost all the enemies.

    It's possible. You just have to be silly careful and go back to upgrade as soon as you get enough parts. I did it on my "perfect" save.
