Space Invaders Extreme heading to PlayStation Network

by Andrew Yoon { Dec 15th 2008 at 10:45AM }

The PEGI watchdogs at Siliconera have discovered yet another PlayStation Network downloadable: Space Invaders Extreme. Taito's re-imagining of the classic arcade shooter got tons of accolades for its psychedelic visuals and music when the game launched on PSP and DS earlier this year. Backbone Entertainment will be responsible for bringing the action from the tiny screens to the big 1080p screen. No other details are known at this time.

I have this on my PSP. Its pretty damn great although it gets pretty hard in the latter levels. I will say that it is very addicting and the remixed version of the original Space invaders on the main menu screen is greatness.

Awesome! I knew there was a reason I put off buying this on PSP.

Does the 1080p matters in this kind of games?

In normal space invaders, no. But "normal space invaders" is like pole position for the Atari 2600, while this is like wipEout HD's zone mode. Yes. The HD is really, really necessary, and I am looking forward to playing this in HD with surround sound on full blast.

Unless it gets delayed for failing the epilepsy tests...

Speaking of retro games that need to be 1080p, anyone down for a few rounds of an updated Tempest?

PEGI? Hopefully we hear from the ESRB not long from now too. Wouldn't want to miss out on this. (But yes, as I have said before, if you Europeans end up getting this first and we Americans have to wait a while, it won't truly upset me. I'll be a bit jealous, but understanding.)

This may seem unrelated, but when it comes to PSP games making it to the big 1080p, I hope Lumines Supernova comes out before Christmas.

your takin da mick rite mate? Europe gets shifted like zillion times before we gettin anything...

Yes, I know this. It says right up there that I'll be understanding, yet a bit jealous. Just because I know that it happens to you guys all the time doesn't mean I can't still have a tiny bit of jealousy. Look, I know Europeans suffer when it comes to delays in localizations, and even if you do get it, you still have every right to have a LOT of jealousy towards the American market. I guess I didn't clarify well enough, but yes, I am fully aware.

Basically, all I was trying to say is that I want this game, and soon. Not badly enough to get angry over anything, but yes, I would buy it.
