Habitat to turn space junk into spaceships on PS4
The resourceful space-junk construction simulator Habitat will craft impromptu space stations on the PS4, in addition to the previously-announced stops on the PC, Mac, Linux and Xbox One. Each version's building date is set to end sometime in 2015, though an Early Access build for PC, Mac and Linux was made available last month.
Habitat began as a Kickstarter project in May, scrapping together $64,000 to construct ragtag homes for the human race that double as a defense from enemy space stations. Players build from whatever they can find in space's yawning black chasm, including the shrapnel from freshly-defeated opposing ships.

HABITAT ANNOUNCED FOR PLAYSTATION®4 SYSTEM
The Ultimate Strategic Space Survival Game Added to PlayStation 4 Line-Up in 2015
(Austin, TX) - July 30, 2014 - Indie publisher Versus Evil, in partnership with Seattle based indie developer 4gency, today announced that Habitat: A Thousand Generations in Orbit will be coming to PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system in 2015 in addition to PC, Mac, Linux and Xbox One. In Earth's orbit, where crisis is guaranteed, Habitat is the only strategic space survival game that uses orbital debris to build the future homes of humanity and where hope for survival relies on the creativity and resourcefulness of the player. An Early Access build for PC, Mac and Linux is now available through Steam, Amazon, Humble Store, GameFly, Gamer's Gate, GreenMan Gaming and Nuuvem priced at $14.99, £10.99 and €14.99.
"Since development began on Habitat, it has always been our wish to bring our space survival simulation to as many platforms as technologically possible", said Charles Cox, founder of 4gency."We are incredibly excited to announce that Habitat will be launching on PlayStation®4 in 2015 and can't wait to see how the creative PlayStation community reacts to Habitat's gameplay mechanics."
In Habitat gamers have to build and manage the future homes of humanity from orbital debris they find in space junkyards surrounding Earth's orbit. Leading their team of engineers, they will have to build and fly space stations in a zero gravity setting, mastering physics driven flight simulation to explore space. In order to thrive and grow they have to manage their population and their population's environment. In the event of a threat they will have to turn their space stations into deadly weapons using pieces of debris picked up such as rockets, lasers and particle accelerators to fight and ultimately survive against attacks from the enemy. This is a space survival game where crisis is guaranteed and the only chance for survival is to be creative and decisive in the face of disaster.
