    Lightbulb PSA: Retro City Rampage takes on PC, PS3 and Vita today [Joystiq]

    Retro City Rampage, Vblank Entertainment's insanely in-depth 8-bit parody of classic open-world action tropes, is out now for PC, PS3 and Vita. We mentioned this was happening yesterday with the game's lovely launch trailer, which we've refrained from embedding above to give you more time to just go out and buy Retro City Rampage already.

    Retro City Rampage is available for PC via Steam, GOG and its official site, and is on PS3 and Vita through PSN and the PS Store, regularly priced at $15. It's 10 percent off on Steam through October 16 ($13.50). Go get some.PSA: Retro City Rampage takes on PC, PS3 and Vita today originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 09 Oct 2012 17:00:00 EST.

    I'm getting this just as soon as it comes to XBLA... whenever that may be.

    Got it on Steam. It's only 30mb! Assuming it will run on just about anything. Pretty fun so far.

    I played this at e3 and it was awesome. Playing with the graphics filters is hilarious. You can make it look like an SMS game or a game boy game. There's also a joke rad racer clone somewhere in it that looks like a virtual boy game. I'm gonna snag it when I get a chance.

    Played the demo on Vita yesterday, holy crap it's fun stuff.

    Even from what limited stuff is available in the demo you can see that it's an absolute labor of 8-bit love.

    I tried the Vita demo, and to me, the game just seems too hectic. Everything is moving so fast. Like the little cut-scenes and everything. There was some cool little tip's of the hat to various 8 bit and 16 bit games, but the game was moving so fast and furious that if you blinked you'd miss it.

    Retro City Rampage free this week for Playstation Plus subscribers.

    I've been meaning to purchase it but from playing Playstation All Stars and tryinig to finish off some other games I still haven't picked it up yet. This an amazing addition since it was one of those rare digital games I was going to pick up anyways.
