Shatter (PS3/PSN)

[Ravenblade86]

As far as I can see there is only the debut video of this so far and no other information, but Shatter is a new PSN game for the PS3 from Sidhe Interactice, the developers of Gripshift. It look's really cool from the video, maybe a cross between breakout and a shooter? Maybe some sort of cool audio stuff thrown into it aswell....

This looks like it will be balls hard. Count me in! I feel like the DGR guys would like this, for some reason.... can't quite put my finger on it. Anway, XtremePong for the win.

Wow that looks insane. But also a lot of fun. I may have to check this one out.

Looks very nice and quite fun. Can't wait to hear more

Here is what I take to be an official press release, or atleast someone pulling most of the info straight from one

SIDHE ANNOUNCES NEW ORIGINAL TITLE, SHATTER, COMING TO PLAYSTATION®NETWORK in 2009

Focus on a Retro-Inspired, Modern-Crafted Package Makes Shatter a Game for Today’s Gamers

Sidhe, New Zealand’s largest game production studio, today announced its new original title, Shatter™, which will debut on PlayStation®Network later this year. Shatter is a retro-inspired brick-breaking game that merges familiar action with a modern-crafted production approach.

“We were inspired by classics in the genre, but were very aware of the limitations that most examples don’t overcome, which means they don’t reach the full potential possible,” said Mario Wynands, Managing Director of Sidhe. “We stripped brick-breaking back to the base elements, and rebuilt it from the ground up. The result is a much more connected and visceral experience.”

Shatter will remind players of classic brick-breaking games, but with twists that make it modern and unique including:

* Innovative controls, physics effects, power-ups, special attacks, and boss battles which combine to provide an experience that is always interactive
* Standard, Boss Rush and Bonus game modes enhanced with leaderboards and trophies
* Vibrant 3D style presented across 10 distinct worlds in 4xAA 60fps HD
* A fully scored soundtrack featuring more than 90 minutes of original music

Shatter continues Sidhe’s moves to self publish a range of original, high-quality titles for the console download market. For more information on Shatter, visit: Shatter™ For Playstation 3 (PS3) Website

yeah... I'm probably gonna be buying this one as soon as it comes out

[Ravenblade86]

One of PS Nation's favourite games from E3 and looking at the gameplay/interview video they posted I can see why! It's looking and sounding even better that I was thinking it would.

Prepare to see my name on the bottom left of your screens when this comes out

[devilmaker]

We'll never see it Boric, it'll always be at the very top! We'll only see those just above us, we'll be no where near you!

[Boric]

Blast! Well maybe there'll be an option like in Geometry Wars 2 to just see the highest score... and you can all set that to the default to give you something to shoot for
