Sony touts echoshift's 'Self Co-Op' gameplay
Do you like playing with yourself? Sony hopes you do, as it's promoting "Self Co-Op" gameplay in its newly re-dubbed PSP game, echoshift. First revealed at E3, echoshift has players controlling echochrome's iconic mannequins and repeating past actions to solve puzzles. According to a recently released fact sheet, the final game will feature 45 levels and 30 kinds of puzzle types, with the promise of more content through post-release DLC. Perhaps we'll see the return of free user-created DLC, a la echochrome?There is no official word on a price yet, but considering the game's PSN exclusivity, we're expecting a lower point of entry than the average PSP game. Expect it this "Fall/Winter 2009."%Gallery-68808%
SCEA trademarks Echoshift (Echochrono rebranding?)
Trademark digger Superannuation has taken note of Echoshift, a new trademark filing by Sony Computer Entertainment America with the US trademark office. So, is it a new Echochrome title or, as some are speculating, a sexier name for PSP's Echochrono stateside?We asked SCEA for comment and a company rep replied, "We do not have any official announcements at this time."
Video: echochrono certainly isn't like echochrome
Were you thinking echochrono was just going to be more of same old puzzles? Well, think again. The follow up to the original Escher puzzler looks like it's taking things to a whole different dimension. Judging from this trailer, players won't have to alter perspective anymore as the game appears to be fixed on a 2D plain; however, this doesn't mean things will be any easier -- it just means it's a whole new way to play the game. What else is new? Color. Seriously, who thought of that one!%Gallery-64983%
