Collaborative Cross-Platform Physics Conundrum Dreii to Launch on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in Europe and North America on March 9th

Dreii Arrives on PlayStation Consoles with Cross-Buy and Cross-Play Between PS4 and PS Vita!

Zurich, Switzerland — March 3rd, 2016 — Swiss developer Etter Studio, in collaboration with publisher Bitforge, today announced that Dreii, the award-winning physics conundrum, launches on PS4 and PS Vita in Europe and North America on March 9th. Dreii is a puzzling game that connects players in real-time across the world to help each other with logic and skill in a battle against gravity and is already available through Steam on PC, Mac, Linux, on the App Store for iOS and Google Play Store for Android. Dreii will be launching for Wii U later in Spring 2016.

“We can’t wait to see PlayStation players on console and handheld, working collectively to solve Dreii’s geometric physics puzzles”, said Game Designer Christian Etter. “Dreii is founded on one thing – connecting players in real-time across the world to help one another in a battle against gravity”.

In Dreii your mission is simple: build a tower to a specified point and hold it there. Sounds too easy? Like anything in life, things get in the way of reaching your goals, including gravity, explosives, magnetism, thunderstorms and incompetent colleagues. Featuring cross-platform play on PlayStation devices, Dreii allows friends to play on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita together. The PlayStation version also features Cross-Buy, so owners of both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita can purchase the game once, but download it on both systems!

What’s more, Dreii is not only cross-platform but cross-cultural with a universal communication tool that allows players to speak to others, wherever they are in the world with simple words that get translated into 19 different languages. Each player also has his or her very own instrument, as avatars work together to form Dreii’s unique universal orchestra, creating a unique musical landscape, inspired by archaic instruments and ancient melodies.

Launched in 2013, the concept study of Drei won the Swiss Game Award (2013), European Design Award (2014) and was a finalist at the IGF (2014), IndieCade (2014) and SXSW (2014). In 2015 PewDiePie, the most followed YouTuber of all times, titled it “coolest puzzle game ever”.

Dreii will translate player’s communication instantly across 19 languages: Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Rhaeto-Romanic, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Swiss-German and Turkish. Dreii will be available on PSN for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita for £9.49, €11.99 and $11.99.

It seems that fans waiting for the next new Atelier game won’t have to wait much longer. I say this because Koei Tecmo has filed a trademark in Europe for Atelier Sophie ~ The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book ~ which obviously relates to the most recently released game in Japan, Atelier Sophie, which was released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita back on November 19th.

The trademark included the above logo which is another real good hint thanks to the silhouette matching the main character, though it is worth noting that at the moment Koei Tecmo has not officially announced the game’s release in the West

From retro to cutting edge: Developing the visual style for a Martian adventure

Overon Station explains the visual directions and differences of their upcoming sci-fi adventure, Dome City with stunning artworks.

BUDAPEST, Hungary – Thursday 3^rd March, 2016 – Hungarian developer studio Overon Station is pleased to reveal highly detailed concept artworks of their Martian adventure game, Dome City showcasing its diverse visual style. Two of the most important locations appear on the concepts; the sharp contrast between the spaceship (TC-08 “Tessa”) and Lanita, the city has a defining storytelling role.

“We’re aiming for a futuristic contrast; Tessa is based on nowaday’s future vision, resembling to cutting edge technology’s clear, elegant design with rounded shapes, lightweight plastic-like materials. Looking at the city’s visuals, it’s inspired by the 60’s “retro-futuristic” concept – huge, robust buildings, angular shapes, concrete and heavy materials everywhere. It’s a journey to the past for the protagonists, as they’re too young to remember the times when it was popular.” – shared Peter Kovacs, the Lead Concept Artist. “We’ve worked hard to differentiate the important locations, but in the end, all spot has a unique visual appearance.”

Capcom has released a new batch of information, screenshots, as well as a trailer for Umbrella Corps and the focus this time around is on the Resident Evil themed multiplayer shooter’s various missions offered in the “Multi-Mission Mode” that will be in the game when it is released on the PlayStation 4 and PC sometime in May.

In Multi-Mission mode players will cycle through eight different rulesets at random so team members can consecutively enjoy different gameplay experiences in a seamless way, and provides an expedited matching process for quickly getting into the game. Each of the different mission types can be found below:

Target Hunter – One target will be chosen per team and only killing that target will count towards the score. Players can choose whether to focus on protecting their own target or aggressively attacking the enemy target.
Respawn Match – Team deathmatch featuring respawns. Take advantage of the on-screen sound radar map to locate the enemies’ random respawn points.
Domination – Secure the specified data transmission point located within the stage for a longer time than the enemy team in order to win.
DNA Hunter – Kill zombies and collect their DNA samples. Destroying the opposing team’s Zombie Jammers is a key strategy in this mode.
SP DNA Hunter – Kill the special mutated zombies and collect their DNA samples. They are particularly tough and immune to the effects of the Zombie Jammer. It’ll take teamwork to bring these creatures down.
Collector – Teams battle it out to see who will be first to collect all 5 briefcases in the stage.
Protector – Find the briefcase and hold it for as long as possible, while fending off the opposition. The player who has it will become a moving target, so teams must work together effectively.
Collar War – Collect the battle data “collars” of downed enemy players, and pick up allies’ collars to prevent the enemy team from getting points.
