No Plans to Bring Guacamelee! To Other Platforms Anytime Soon

Sent an email out to the Guacamelee developers over at Drinkbox Studios, their rep replied back within seconds.

Congratulations on the successful game launch. Any chance we will see a PC, 360, or 3DS version of Guacamelee?

I can't really say what we'll do in the future, but I wouldn't expect Guacamelee! on those platforms any time soon.

Keywords is "any time soon"

They could mean a month. Two months...



I'm sure Stump just missed listing it. I'm 95% sure I saw it. There were LOTS of games on that list.

Oh nice! Thanks for the info, I must have missed that one. Of course, Guac wasn't really on our radars until GDC.

This is great news. 'Any time soon,' is similar to Microsoft's 'we currently don't have plans,' referring to the potential Halo 3 Steam release.

Hi Grief.exe,

Yes, of course! I'm not even sure why we launched it exclusively on PSN. That was dumb. Just wait a couple months and it will be on every DD store, especially non-Sony stores. Thanks!

I'm sure that's what they really wanted to say.

Guacamelee! is part of the Pub Fund, so iirc it ll be exclusive for at least 6 months.

It'll be on PC/Steam by the end of the year methinks. Maybe they have an exclusivity deal with Sony that requires the game to only be available on Sony Platforms for a certain set of time?

It's going to be released on steam in October, probably. And that's it.

Mutant Blobs PS Vita - 22 February
Mutant Blobs Steam - 15 August

Now you can decide if you can wait for the game to come to steam.

No one ever admits to a PC port during the PSN/XBLA launch. It's just not a smart thing to do.

Funny thing is that Mutant Blobs wasnt a Pub Fund game but for some reason they still waited the 6 months

When I talked to the DrinkBox guys at their PAX booth they didn't give any indication that there was a solid exclusivity period that Sony demanded for pub fund games. I think the main stipulation is that they get an exclusive PSN launch and then from there it's up to the developer, but obviously Sony does not provide them with resources to launch the game on competitors' platforms.

6-8 months seems like a reasonable timeframe for them to prepare a Steam port after the PSN launch. They're a really small team so it doesn't seem viable to work on multiple platforms at once.

I think it's less of an exclusivity thing and more of a small studio thing. There are only 12 people at Drinkbox last I checked.

Really hope it hits steam. I have no desire to buy anything on PSN or XBLA ever again if those platforms are just going to die and get rebooted every console generation.

Originally it was going to be a multiplatform title from day one but Mutant Blobs Attack was fantastic and sold really well, so Sony scooped it up.

Meh, I like Phil Fish, but he did do a 180 once he understood the financial upside to porting his game. I can't blame him, and would expect similar from these guys a few months out from launch when they realize the extra money they could make from a simple port.

since I am without a playstation product I will wait with some of you for the PC port.

it must happen. I loved mutant blobs and I suggest it to friends every chance I get.

Is the game good?

Its one of the few Metroidvanias left.

Castlevania has gone the way of linear action game.
Metroid franchise is somewhat buried.

We have Dust: An Elysian Tail and Guacamelee.

The artstyle and gameplay from both look very solid.

Go to the OT and peep the reviews.

Support good games folks. Cross buy and cross play. Co op between Vita and PS3. Love that.

I would if I owned either. Pretty much PC only for now.

Couldn't agree more. Drinkbox are a spectacular group of people, make amazing games, and deserve all of the success they get. They're the kind of guys that need supporting :)

i dont really have a problem with him honestly. didnt even hate him after i saw that indie game movie he was in. i bought his game as well and liked it.

it was just kind of that face from that still. made me get all punchy there for a sec.
