Is it just me or does this look like something you'd find in the shareware section of a PC Gamer demo disc circa 1997? There are box arts indicating it is a retail release, too.

System 3 reveals Putty Squads comeback in new teaser trailer

It was announced for PSVita and 3DS.

It was originally announced two years ago.

"The official game from System 3".

Y'know, just in case you were worried you might end up with a cheap-looking knock-off.

Wii U is on a roll now, between this and Pac Man.

I actually found it was announced as an HD remake for PS3 in 2010. Then, they announced Vita version in 2011. At least from a preview of the title this year. When did they announce it for 3DS?

REMEMBER CITADEL · May 15, 2013

Am I the only person who seriously wants this? I was instantly reminded of Bonanza Bros. and the whole Amiga era.

Busy backgrounds could be an issue for me.

It's a fantastic game that I only got to play once I got to grips with WinUAE due to it needing that A1200 bump that I couldn't get. Living in poverty with an A600.

That was my first thought. Nothing individually looks bad, but overall I have a hard time telling foreground from background.

Monty Mole · May 15, 2013

Loved the original game, looking forward to this whether it's downloadable or retail.

And surely it looking like a 90s PC shareware game is a GOOD thing, no?

Lord British · May 15, 2013

Wow, this is finally coming out.

Bert · May 15, 2013

Why do I get the feeling 90% of the people in this thread have never played Putty?

Game is awesome. Can't wait. Here's hoping for more Amiga era remakes as VC and other retro platforms seem to ignore it.

This is why it's not coming out on PS4. It would get bored only using 1MB of that 8GB GDDOMGR5.

2+2=5 · May 15, 2013

For 3ds they could just release the original game

EDIT:
those in the op are vita screens(960x544)!

It was first and android/ios game, then a ps3 game, then a vita game and now it's everywhere, or something similar.

We've got this and Superfrog so far.

In terms of what developers are still alive from the Amiga days, I think we need some Codemasters Micro Machines love.

BGBW · May 15, 2013

Damn. I remember playing this at my friends house on the SNES.

Interesting to see it as a retail release (I assume it is with that boxart). Usually these retro revivals pop up on the DD services.

Infernal Monkey · May 15, 2013

Wow, this game has gone through some serious development hell. Was originally supposed to be a day-one retail launch title for the Vita in Europe and Australia.

Additionally Team 17 ported Alien Breed to iOS, Android, PSV and PS3

Additionally James Pond still exists somehow, at least in the PS2 era. You can get the PSOne version of Robocod on PSN in some places.

2+2=5 · May 15, 2013

Sadly alien breed has only the graphics of the original and superfrog looks like shit

Remember though that worms and lemmings born on the amiga

EDIT:
psx robocod is nowhere near as good as the amiga version

And yet I'd rather play Putty than Killzone any day of the week! (Or any modern FPS for that matter).

Probably why my brain turned off when Cerny continued to waffle on about specs endlessly.

Should have been done with sprites, like the original. Rather than that cheap 90's CGI look.

Trust me, you don't want to see how the remake of my favorite platformer ever looks

Yagharek · May 15, 2013

I'll get this if its as good as the original was (from what I was led to believe from friends who had it, sadly I never got to try it)

Ubersnug · May 15, 2013

I ADORED the original game on the Amiga.

That bastard cat that would appear on screen and declare "TOO BAD, JUST MISSED IT. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

The terminator carrot who would scream 'UZI 9MM' before he unloaded in your direction.

And the crying babies who wouldnt shut up till you absorbed them.

Yeah, ill probably buy this Day 1.

VaeVictis · May 15, 2013

Putty Squad will be available in summer 2013 on platforms PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360, Windows 8, Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.

I guess this means the game will only be available through the Windows App store.

More Amiga games on my Vita, please.

Team17 are supposed to be working on a Vita version of Worms. Not an Amiga port, but close enough!
