Echochrome to be released this summer

PSP News from N4G | Echochrome

PSP - Echochrome - Echochrome to be released this summer

While continuing to dig around for a solid answer on the PSP version of Echochrome I spoke to Scott Goryl, a Public Relations Specialist from SCEA, who told me Echochrome is actually on target for a Spring release in North America. However, this date is currently only for the PlayStation 3 version. They are evaluating the PSP version and if they will bring it to North America or not. (This is consistent with the earlier report I wrote up.)

I followed up with questions about the extra levels, if they would come out as a download pack, and if the canvas mode will remain part of the PlayStation 3 package. In response he explained, the feature list for the PlayStation 3 version has not been announced yet.

Echochrome PSP/PS3 price difference explained

PSP News from N4G | Echochrome

PSP - Echochrome - Echochrome PSP/PS3 price difference explained

The PSP version of Echochrome costs twice as much as the PS3 version, but Siliconera explains there is reason for the extra money. All of the answers are found over at Impress Watch (Japanese).

The PlayStation 3 version is actually "Echochrome: Jokyoku" or "Echochrome: Prelude" in English. For 1,800 yen ($17) you get a get a sample of Echochrome by tasting 50 puzzles. The 3,980 yen ($37) PSP version contains 100 puzzles and multiple modes including a variation where you have to avoid walking dark echoes.

Fortunately, both versions come with canvas mode, which lets players create and upload puzzles on the PlayStation Network or transfer data via the PSP's Ad-Hoc mode. With this new information the PSP version is more tantalizing. However, the cheaper PlayStation 3 version supports users-created content, which devalues the addition of the extra 50 puzzles.

Echochrome arrives on the PlayStation Store in March

PSP - Echochrome - Echochrome arrives on the PlayStation Store in March

Siliconera » Written by: Spencer on January 16th, 2008 @ 9:10 am

Last week Spencer mentioned Echochrome was arriving on the PSP on March 19. Now he can confirm it will arrive on the PlayStation Store as a downloadable PS3 game on the same day. The price has not been announced, but if Sony is selling the PSP version for 3,990 yen ($36) it will probably fall in the $25-$30 price range. Details are also hazy if the PSP release contains the same puzzles as the PlayStation 3 version or if you can play the PS3 release on the PSP via Remote Play. That would be an awesome idea and we'll find out soon when Echochrome arrives in Japan.

E3 07: Meet Echochrome

PSP News | Echochrome

[UPDATE] While we're not backtracking on our opinion that Echochrome has the potential to be one of the sleeper hits of the PS Network, we've just found out that the game was far from Sony's "original" idea. The game has existed as a tech demo for PC here since last year, described as an "interactive optical illusion" and coded by one Jun Fujiki. It appears Sony has been given permission to develop this free game for the PS Network, only with preset levels - the downloadable version simply ...

Oblivion PSP back on?

PSP News | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Oblivion was unveiled for PSP a good year or so ago but it's been a long time since we've heard anything about it. To be honest, we thought it'd been whacked a long time ago. And chances are it probably has. But that hasn't stopped a potential release date popping up on good old Amazon.com. According to the online retailer, the Climax-developed game (Bethesda handles PC, 360 and PS3 versions) will ship on June 30, 2008. Fact or fiction? Probably fiction. But we'll chase the developer and ...

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion will be released for PlayStation 3 this November and PSP in March 2007, according to game-retail giant EBGames, which recently posted these launch details for the two, as yet unconfirmed, versions of the massively single-player RPG. A release schedule from developer Bethesda, leaked in April, supposedly revealed plans to release PS3 and PSP versions of Oblivion this November. However, with EBGames posting dates - most likely as placeholders for now - it would ...
