Post news Report RSS Cobalt Revival!

With the release of the PS Vita and the SDK to go with it, I've taken it upon myself to bring this project back for the new handheld.

Posted by on

Cobalt Runner's on it's way back, for the PS Vita this time around :)

Some changes have been decided upon, some pretty huge gameplay decisions. The new premise is that of a social game, more or less. You create levels by placing objects ala Trackmania or Modnation Racers, and then can race against people online for global high scores or just chill out and play game modes as the map cycle rotates through user generated maps.

Engine's made from the ground up using the public PS Vita SDK.

Anyway, the video I'm about to show you is about 5~6 days into development after rigging up the basic framework for the rest of the game. I had just added the wallrunning mechanic before recording this, check it out!

Unfortunately, the only way to record off-device was to use my iPhone camera. I'll have some crisper shots soon enough, though.


Really excited for this again, stay tuned and I'll keep you guys updated.

There might be an issue with licensing on the PSN where I won't be allowed to deploy it to other devices.

However, if this is not the case, you can expect a 360 and PC remake with XNA.

On second thought, **** the 360. I just remembered their licensing terms and requirements and I can't accept those terms.

Yeah... Microsoft is really good at being pig-headed.

Glad to hear you're gonna make a killer-app for the PS Vita though.

That looks awesome. It's also funny because i'm working on a similar game which looks nearly the same as Cobalt Runner (in Gameplay as in Graphics). XD

I'm going to keep an eye on this. ;)

I'm so glad this is back. I was just thinking the other day about how this mod looked so good and It was shocking when it died.
