Sideway Hits PS3 Exclusively via PSN in 2011, First Concept Art

[PS3 News]

Playbrains Studio Director Scott Simpson announced today that Sideway hits PS3 exclusively via PSN in 2011, and has unveiled the first concept art from the video game today!

To quote: I'm here today to announce the awesomesauce that is Sideway, a unique adventure platformer set in and around the oh-so-gritty streets of New York City.

The characters and story have been birthed from a fantastic world created by the quasi-evil geniuses at http://www.fuelindustries.com/ and http://www.wildbrain.com/.

To that point, we are inviting folks to come to http://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/ on October 8th (at 2:15 in Room 1A21) where we will officially announce the title as a Sony Online Entertainment exclusive to the PlayStation Network.

Yes, that means that I am announcing the announcement here, which I guess makes this a "pre-announcement" to you PlayStation.Blog readers!

We are in sooper-deep development at the moment (please send pizza and beer), which means that the belts are coming off and we're settling into our coding chairs for winter in order to get things all sparkly for a 2011 launch.

We're not ready to spill the beans on some of the really cool features and unique gameplay elements in the game just yet, so until then, take a gander at some early concept pieces and composites from the game that should give you an idea of the world you will be tooling around in as an underground street artist in NYC. It will be an awesome game and we're excited to be making it.
