Remember playing Mario 64? You should have relived those memories countless times if you've been here a while.
Remember being amazed by the 3D visuals and open environments, the colours, music, themes and free movement.
Today he is even more charming and the platforming became even funner and more accessible.
He's good. He's still very good.
Imagine a kid getting THIS for Christmas. He holds the Vita close in his hands and enters the game.
Dazzled by the colourful (read +OLED) visuals he explores Media Molecule's carefully crafted world.
Bouncing, jumping, rolling, twisting and timing his movements. He is challenged but entertained, and rewarded with stickers to make his character how he likes and then takes instagrams of him and the world.
His face shows up in real time as THE Sun, while he's still in play as Iota.
He cuts out objects to decorate the game in his hands and also gets to print game objects out to make his own at home.
He uses his fingers to lift a log infront of his character. He is totally in control.
- Bonus preview fact: I’m sure that players of Tearaway studio Media Molecule’s previous games will be happy to know that the jumping in Tearaway is pretty good. It’s not floaty (little big victory!). - Stephen Totilo
And if you got to the end without watching the full video, it really is worth your time.
If you look carefully, within the first minute you can see the level is rather open ended and large, somewhat obscured by the fog and where the player is going - there are a few obvious path and it doesn't seem like it wastes your time, a nice use of space. Not huge like Mario 64 but not entirely as linear as the main footage we saw of Tearaway before, with the introductions and explanations.

Dad can have the Vita afterwards for his PS4.
