You play as Putty, a literal ball of sentient putty who goes on an adventure to save his kidnapped friends. At a glance, the game seems like a standard side scrolling adventure, but it does have some unique features.įor one, the story is a classic setup with a unique character. The game is also coming to PS3, and Vita. The classic game has been redone with a fresh coat of paint and on PS4 it runs in glorious 1080p resolution. No, I’m not kidding, and even though it’s technically a SNES game, it’s not like they’re just porting it, dated graphics and all. They’re releasing a SNES game on the PS4? You’re kidding right? The good news is that it’s coming back, on the PS4! So let me ask you this then, have you ever heard of a Super Nintendo game called Putty Squad? Yeah, me neither, but apparently it was slated to release on a number of other systems and never quite made it past that point. Sometimes its good for both gamer and developer alike to pay homage to the ones who have come before. Many of the people working on today’s hits were once programming 16-bit titles. They gave us classic titles to inspire today’s developers. Just like these systems from a bygone era gave us the foundation for a bright future where games are now recognized as one of the biggest forms of entertainment, and as a form of art, they also gave us something else. No, I know the controllers are better nowadays, would you just let me get to my point? Okay, so they also have outdated graphics, sure I’ll give you that. Sure they’re not in production anymore, but that doesn’t count. Why am I mentioning these ancient machines? Because these are the ancestors of what we play today. From there, I got a Nintendo 64, a PlayStation One, and so on and so forth. My first video games console was the Sega Genesis.
