ID@Xbox games Contrast, Another World roll onto Xbox One
Classic platformer Another World and noir puzzler Contrast are two of four new ID@Xbox entrants to graduate onto the Xbox One store. The two other self-published games, Zombie Driver and RBI Baseball, were released earlier in the week. If you've seen Another World pop up a whole lot recently, that's because the cinematic 1991 adventure is celebrating turning 23 by bringing its 20th anniversary edition (yup) to every new system in town. Well, not quite every system... the PS4 port was due this week, then Sony amended its announcement, stating the game doesn't yet have a release date in North America [Thanks, Josh]. The PS4 game is out in Europe, though. Anyway, back to the Xbox One where Another World is available now for $8/£6.39. Contrast is due to drop sometime today, priced at $15/£12. [Image: Microsoft]
Another World hits PS4 next week
Eric Chahi's classic side-scrolling adventure game Another World (aka Out of This World) is coming to the PlayStation 4 next week, publisher The Digital Lounge announced today. Originally released for the Amiga and Atari ST computers in 1991, Another World later saw popular ports for the Super NES and Sega Genesis in North America, introducing console audiences to its harsh otherworldly environments filled with alien peril. Another World saw another resurgence in popularity in 2011 with a 20th anniversary release for PC platforms, followed by ports for iOS and Android devices. Next week's PlayStation 4 port boasts high-resolution, redrawn backdrops and a cinematic soundtrack, along with Cross-Buy and Cross-Save functionality for upcoming PlayStation 3 and PS Vita versions.
