Now the former head of audio at Media Molecule, Kenneth Young has revealed that the PS4 not-really-a-port version of Tearaway is coming this summer.

After announcing that he was leaving Media Molecule to work for Media Molecule as an audio contractor, Young let his followers know that Tearaway Unfolded is set to ship this summer.

@kcmyoung: Sad to announce that I am leaving @mediamolecule But excited to announce that my first client as a #GameAudio contractor will be…

@kcmyoung: …@mediamolecule! I’ll be working with my friends there until we ship #TearawayUnfolded this summer. Then I’m going to have a rest!

 

[loaf of bread]

Day 1. Everyone owes it to themselves to pick this up even if they got the Vita version as it's essentially a new game.

 

[Angel_DvA]

It would be awesome, Hype !!

 

[Icyflamez96]

awesome! Hopefully I'll have a ps4 by then

 

[Terbinator]

Can't wait!

 

[Kuro]

I really really hope this does well this time. Maybe Sony will actually market the game properly for the holidays

 

[Yoshichan]

amir0x

hype?!

 

[BlackBuzzard]

GAF buy it or face my wrath, its a fantastic game on Vita already.

 

[WordsintheWater]

Picked it up on the Vita, never got around to playing it, still have it just sitting there in my room sealed. So I look forward to playing this in the summer.

 

[outunderthestars]

Hopefully they fix the combat and make it a little more open. I beat the first game but was incredibly bores by the end.

 

[xenorevlis]

Bought the original game for my sister, since I got her a Vita a year ago.

Now I will buy the PS4 release, as I want to play it again and with all the extra goodies

(Plus I support Media Molecule - industry needs more companies willing to step away from all the popular molds)

 

[Kintaro]

Props for this game existing but it will thud so hard at retail without a good price point. $20 i would say.

 

[LumpOfCole]

I just couldn't get into this game. It just felt like a big charming tech demo.

 

[JON4495]

Leaving media molecule to work for media molecule?

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

This is a good game guys.

 

[Floridian]

I haven't played it but it's nice to see the game get more exposure.

 

[hawk2025]

HYPE.

Perfect Summer game.

lol thats funny

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

So is this a port or a new game? Kind of confused and haven't heard either way for sure. I don't have a Vita though so I'm in anyway.

 

[Kyoufu]

I didn't play it on Vita so I'm definitely checking this out.

Enhanced port with new and altered content?

 

[Icyflamez96]

How far'd you get into it? I thought that up until a certain point too. Heck I still feel like that way about the game a bit, but I ended up liking it a lot overall.

This is my question? If different enough I'll get Vita as well.

Leaving media molecule to work for media molecule?

I was wondering about the same thing? Can someone explain this?

 

[Acquiescence]

Leaving media molecule to work for media molecule?

Is that like kicking someone's leg out of their leg?

 

[TMC]

Always wanted a Vita when this came out. Glad I will be able to play it on the PS4. Day 1!

 

[Alienous]

Great. I haven't finished Tearaway yet, but it is awesome.

Leaving media molecule to work for media molecule?

Leaving Media Molecule to become a contractor, whose first job is to work for Media Molecule.

 

[Gestault]

I am excite.

 

[outunderthestars]

I was wondering about the same thing? Can someone explain this?

He was an employee, left to work as an independent contractor. His first gig is with his old employer but is free to work on their projects.

 

[Stampy]

I was wondering about the same thing? Can someone explain this?

it's all about money and freestyling...

He is going to do contractual work for more clients, more money, more oportunities...

Shame to know he is leaving, will probably be hard for media molecule to fill in the gap, even more since with their new game they also want to revolutionize sound making.

 

[ArtHands]

I was wondering about the same thing? Can someone explain this?

He is switching from a full time permanent employee to sort of a outsourced freelance working in the studio.

 

[jblank83]

Great.

Next up: Journey PS4.

 

[RealityPales]

awesome! Hopefully I'll have a ps4 by then

[lazyproblems]

Looking forward to it. Loved the Vita game, and curious to see what they added/changed.

THE POWER OF BLOODBORNE COMPELS YOU

While that is a HUGE game to me right now, I can't afford to get the PS4 atm.

 

[Tidus_Great]

i loved tearaway but alot of the charm was because of Vitas touchscreen. not sure how this will translate to ps4. Is this a sequel or is it just a slightly enhanced version of the original?

 

[Danneee]

I'm buying this because of the pig riding music alone.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Props for this game existing but it will thud so hard at retail without a good price point. $20 i would say.

I feel bad but yeah, I would grab it at 20.
Having already played it on vita and all.

 

[ZeroAKA]

Hopefully this game doesn't bomb again. PS4 owners, don't disappoint me.

 

[MavFan619]

My brother enjoyed this game on Vita and told me to play it. I'll wait on the PS4 version but I'll definitely be picking this up.

 

[Carl]

There's tons of new areas and stuff (i'm sure i read this somewhere)

 

[Sponge]

Hope it doesn't bomb, This game deserves more exposure than it originally had.

 

[Peace Tea]

Woah! Always always thought it was slated for Winter. Day 1!

It's a new game. They even said this on PS Experience, the game is impossible to port from Vita.

 

[nicolajNN]

For those asking about it being a port or new game, it's remake of the Vita version. It will follow the same story, and you will visit the same locations, but the design of the areas, and how you interact with the game will be different since the PS4 don't have the two touchpads which were heavily used to interact with the world on the Vita.

Not sure about the US price, but the original was £20 in Europe so it's possible that this will be in the same price range

 

[Shikamaru Ninja]

It's a new game. They even said this on PS Experience, the game is impossible to port from Vita.

Tarsier Studios (the developer) makes it seem like a remixed port. Not a new game.

 

[Noobcraft]

I want to buy it but I expect it to hit PS+ sometime.

 

[jmaine_ph]

Rented it for Vita out of curiosity and I regret not supporting this game. I will be buying the PS4 version just to do that! It's amazing!!

 

[EdReedFan20]

I was wondering about the same thing? Can someone explain this?

Think of it like this: He's now a freelancer. He will go to whichever developer needs his help. The first place he's going is Media Molecule to help them finish up the game. Another example would be, say The Kinda Funny guys. They all quit IGN, but Greg and Colin will freelance write for different sites. To this point, the only place Colin has done any freelancing since quitting from IGN is.... IGN. Like Colin, Kenny will eventually find his way somewhere else. I guess he doesn't want to be tied down to one place and being able to bounce from studio to studio is appealing to him.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Enhanced port with new and altered content?

Pretty much all the set pieces and mechanics that have been shown so far are new, and I don't think the overall story of the game can be told without some of the every-unit features of the Vita... I think this is closer to retcon than director's cut.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

Get this game. Not only the best VITA game (tied with Persona 4), but of the best games i've played in a while.
