Media Molecule's new IP 'Tearaway' Announced

Great presentation, design. Interesting use of the control methods available on the platform.

I am really interested, i really love their work.
 
This game keeps getting better and better each time I see it. I'm glad now that they broke away from LBP and made something new. I can't wait for this to release.
 
I'm probably in the minority but I'm not digging the art style at all. Nice to see some new exclusive ip's for vita though!
 
Great art style, but outside of the gimmick (poking fingers) I didn't see much of a game.

to me it looked like Lemmings but you have to use the various "gimmicks" (as this thread puts it) to get the guy through the level. If thats not what this was then ignore the next question.

So Lemmings wasn't a game?
 
Game looks amazing. Great art style, a good old fashioned platformer, some neat touch features, it's all good. This is exactly the type of game I want on the Vita.

Only thing I'm not digging is the use of the microphone. I don't know what compels devs to think that everyone wants to shout at our handhelds. We, in fact, do not.
 
I love how people seem to equate anything thats outside of "push A Button " gameplay as a gimmick.


Anyway,
Looks like some really interesting game mechanics they got going on here. They have my attention.
 
Super duper cute! :3 :3 :3 :3 It also helps that the music to pair with the trailer was a great choice.

So the character's name is Iota? I want to see more, but the interactions one can make with the world in Tearaway already seem pretty cool. I only hope the blowing or yelling won't be too necessary.
 
i dont think they shooting for a create/share here...seems to me to be a straight platformer
Doesn't look that straight forward to me. There is an arts and crafts feel to this game, which possibly by itself doesn't necessarily imply create/share.

There are weird bits where you're cutting out paper crowns and creating textures, which implies that engine allows for a certain amount of customization, but the draw distance makes it look like it may be designed to handle user created levels as well.
 
Came in to say Thank You to MM.

Is the message in the game customizable ? Can we send it to other PS and folks on the net ? I would like to make it into a greeting card, and fight my way (with him helping) to deliver it to my son. 8^)
 
This will be bought. Trailer started off kinda slowly but then took off. The way the character runs mixed with the player yelling in the game to have him use your shout as a weapon was just too cute XD
 
It's a 2013 game if that wasn't obvious already.

I'll never understand why devs think that screaming at your portable system is a good idea. Game looks pretty cool, but it's the last game in the universe I'd want to play anywhere other than on my couch.
 
His head is a letter. He has a stamp on the back of it. He is a messenger. His name is Iota. What a terrific awesome concept.
 
Very creative and looks incredible.

When MM popped up I thought it would be a PS3 game for sure, looks like Sony finally put one of their main teams to work on the Vita full force.
 
Glad to see MM have a chance to make something besides LBP stuff. Will buy Day one!

They're no longer directly doing LBP stuff at all. They're supervising other studios handling LBP projects now.

Moreover, MM apparently has multiple new IPs on the boil. Meaning probably one more.
 
Looks very neat although I LOATHE the back touchpad and find it almost entirely unusable because it limits how you can hold the device. This feels like a title that needed to be out at launch though as it comes across as more of a proof of concept game in that it shows a bunch of stuff the Vita can do.

Nice call by someone in the other thread suggesting the new characters in that Facebook cover image were from a new MM game.
