Ancel was to remain in a Molyneuxish role at Ubisoft, while also developing his.
Michel Ancel, the legendary creator central to Beyond Good and Evil and the Rayman series, announced at the end of July the foundation of Wild Sheep Studio, a new, 13-strong developer based in Montpelier, France, working on an unnamed project. The last of the trio of new games teased at the end of the show was perhaps the most intriguing. Housemarque has a huge amount of experience in this kind of execution the aesthetic approach could hardly be more different from Tearaway Unfolded, but it will also no doubt put controllers through their paces. Resogun was one of the most praised launch games for the PS4, but Alienation is more in the style of Dead Nation - a four-player multiplayer twin-stick shooter in which players blast through wave after wave of, in this case, aliens. The contrast between the happy, papercraft world of Tearaway and Alienation, the upcoming game from Housemarque that followed it, could hardly be more profound. Sony had also earlier trailed LittleBigPlanet 3, being developed by Sumo Digital, which will be able to use the 8.5 million already existing user-generated levels created by the LittleBigPlanet community, while introducing new characters and features.
The mechanic in which the player could push the ground upwards by pressing fingers against the rear touch pad, for example, would no longer make sense.īased on past achievements, Tearaway Unfolded may not only be a successful adaptation of a successful Vita game, but help to make the case for parts of the PlayStation 4's interface, such as the front light and the touchpad, that are currently often superfluous. While some of the inputs of the PlayStation 4's default controller are relatable to the Vita - most obviously the analog sticks - other parts are very different.
