“Hello, internet-people! I’m Fidget, co-star of Dust: An Elysian Tail. As you can see in the photograph displayed above, taken moments ago in a candid fashion, I’m playing the game with a DualShock 4! That’s no Photoshop job, that’s the real deal! Dust: An Elysian Tail is coming to PlayStation 4 REALLY REALLY SOON! I KNOW! It’s crazy! Crazy like a nimbat!

“Now, if you can, imagine all this awesomeness is hand-drawn like an old animated movie from the ’80s and ’90s, but with art at crazy high resomolutions! Like, 1080p! People tell me that’s pretty darn good! Also, 60fps. I’m guessing that’s some sort of speed? Like, the speed of awesome? I don’t know much about these things, though. I mean, look at my hands! I’m not plugging anything into expensive TVs with these ham-hocks.

So how is this game? If I wasn't a fan of Muramasa would I enjoy this?

“So, what is Dust: An Elysian Tail? I’m glad you asked, this being an announcement post about it and all!

“Imagine a 2D side-scrolling platformer, with crazy-fast swordplay and screen-clearing MAGIC supplied by yours truly. There are power-ups! Special abilities! Hidden passages! A whole world of STUFF to find! Main quests! Side quests! We’ve even got a quest where you can choose to put poison ivy into some jerk’s laundry! I KNOW! It’s magical! Let’s poison his laundry TOGETHER!

[MayMay]

Yaaay, amazing game. Everyone should play it

 

[Jacksinthe]

Based Noogy.

 

[bigkrev]

Surprised it wasn't also announced for Vita (the other games announced today all are). Also surprised it went on the EU site before the US site.

Really soon= this year?

 

[km3k]

I played this on Linux at 1080p. It's beautiful.

 

[flkraven]

Awesome! Played this a little on 360 and was surprised by how great it was!

 

[SeanTSC]

Man, didn't see this coming. I loved the game on my X360. Was a fairly interesting Metroidvania-lite-ish game with some neat combat.

Hope people give it a shot.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Huh pleasantly surprised!

 

[Santiako]

Amazing game, everyone should play it.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Great game, buy it

I feel like they're trying a little TOO hard with this. I dunno.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

That's cool. Could never get into it myself. Hate the artstyle

 

[GarciaHotspur]

Good news !!

 

[Hawaii Jeff]

wow! that's awesome! everyone should really play this gem. i read that all the art and programming was done by one guy?....

the art was good on 360, and the story was touching. combat got really good once you got more abilities.

the only thing that grated on me was the annoying high-pitched voice of your sidekick (i forget her name now....)

 

[Pocky4Th3Win]

Did they rework the art or is it the same art just at 1080p? If so then no reason for me since I played it on PC at higher than 1080p. =

 

[SniperHunter]

never heard of it

but it loos good

 

[tauke]

This is a surprise to me. Still haven't beat it on PC but I'm happy it is available on more platform.

More power to Noogy!

 

[zewone]

This is awesome news.

 

[Off-Kilter]

Great game, might double dip.

Big MEH on the aesthetic though.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

I ended up hating it despite rave reviews here.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Sweet- Noogy made a classic-deserves more players

 

[Eusis]

Nice.

. . . Though I find it funny that I only just now noticed it's a Microsoft Studios published game on PC while looking at the Steam sale. Was thinking that might have undermined coming to PS, but I overestimated how much that mattered I guess.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Self-published this time, I take it?

 

[Brazil]

Great news! I have this on PC, but it's obviously in my Steam backlog.

And here comes the furryphobe brigade.

 

[Shard]

Self-published this time, I take it?

It would have to be.

 

[Byronic Hero]

My laptop was never able to play it, so as soon as I can, it will be mine. It was pretty cool up to where I got.

 

[Zach]

After I got past the somewhat off-putting art style, I really enjoyed it. Excellent game.

 

[Doomburrito7]

Amazing graphics, but did anyone find the stat balancing to be way off? I had like a +10 strength for a while then got an item that gave like... +200, and I became too powerful. Anyone else run into that?

 

[Hupsel]

Awesome game. I remember the last boss kicked my ass though.

 

[Struct09]

There's a good game underneath that interesting art style

 

[ZeroX03]

Good game.

Please have all dialogue and cutscenes skippable though.

 

[KimonoNoNo]

I really enjoyed Dust and I'd love to know what Noogy and Co. are cooking up next.

 

[Tucah]

Cool, I'd probably pick it up again if it's free on PS+ or cheap during a sale. Gameplay is fantastic even if the artstyle is awful.

 

[3rdamention]

Wow, that is like 3 PS4 Game announcements today. Pretty interesting.

 

[Loudninja]

Wow, that is like 3 PS4 Game announcements today. Pretty interesting.

PS4:
Dust

PS4/Vita:
Alone With You Coming
Salt and Sanctuary

 

[Adam Blue]

Looks like I'll be playing through this yet again.

 

[Bisonian]

Man Sony is having a huge day with announced games today between this and the Nidhogg online ports, and Salt & Sanctuary, and Alone With You. Really great to see.

 

[hawk2025]

DAT Noogy.

Will triple dip.

 

[JaggedSac]

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2014...ming-soon-ps4/?emcid=social_20140828_30638886

So how is this game? If I wasn't a fan of Muramasa would I enjoy this?

It's pretty good.

 

[-PXG-]

Such a great game. Will definitely buy it again. Noogy deserves it. He's a god amongst men.

 

[Psyrgery ES]

Finished it not long ago, and really enjoyed it.

Congrats to PS4 owners! If it ever comes to Xbox One I'll definately doble dip.

 

[Cheska]

YAY Noogy!!

 

[mejin]

Like Salt and Sanctuary, this a pleasant surprise.

I'll double dip.

 

[Andy Vee]

Really, really good game. Well worth your time and money.
