News PlayStation 3

PC indie platformer hatching soon.

Acclaimed PC indie platforming series Rocketbirds is on its way to PlayStation Network, developer Ratloop Asia has announced.

Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken puts you in the shoes of a gun-toting rooster as he blasts his way through the city of Albatropolis in an attempt to dispatch Putzki, the evil leader of the Penguins.

"You'll have to kill many penguins, solve puzzles, incite revolution, and maybe possibly pilot a few jetpacks," producer Sian Yue Tan told the PlayStation Blog.

The PC original, Rocketbirds: Revolution!, bagged three nominations at the 2010 Independent Games Festival.

Hardboiled Chicken will be up for download on PSN in "late 2011/early 2012". Trailer below.

The environments really remind me of Flashback for some reason.

Kind of reminds me of Shank. Let's hope the blood and gore is just as fowl. Otherwise this could be as poultry as Outland. I might pick this up cheep if it's on newegg. com.

Tip your waitresses, I'll be in the dressing room.

Btw, the music in the trailer is Double Agents by New World Revolution. Their EP is available on Itunes, and it's called Karmakaze.

Definitely worth a look if you like that sort of thing.
