Posting on the official PlayStation blog, SuperVillain Studios has announced that serene swim sim flOw is expected to surface on the PlayStation Portable early next month. The comparatively puny version will include all of the content from the PlayStation 3 game (with the exception of its expansion pack) while eschewing SIXAXIS motion control for analog nub rubbin'.

It's unknown how much you'll have to splash out when the downloadable title washes onto the PC's PlayStation Store, but we'll be sure to put up a fuss if we think we're getting pond* by the price.

*We are so very sorry.

After years of visiting this site on a daily basis this is my favourite Joystiq headline ever. Thank you Ludwig Kietzmann.

Martez: Feb 8th 2008; 1:15PM

I concur. Ludwig continues to be the man. I'm super glad he's here, but his brilliance is wasted on a game news blog.

@Martez

Blashpemy!!! He would do no better anywhere else. His wit is perfectly suited for the likes of joystiq. I think seeing Ludwig somewhere else would make him seem out of place.

Ludwig, you effing rock!!

ThornedVenom: Feb 8th 2008; 2:24PM

I'm pretty sure that his genius wouldn't be acknowledged anywhere else.

It wasn't impossible to build underwater, it was impossible to build anywhere else.

He chose the impossible.
He chose Ra.....JOYSTIQ~~!!

@trev

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!

CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!

NOT YOUR 'FLOW'ISH MESS OF UPS AND DOWNS!!

jamma: Feb 8th 2008; 2:54PM

@ Strange Bum

stop shouting!

3cubed minus 3squared plus1: Feb 8th 2008; 1:12PM

O SNAP!
I see what you did there ;)

Dr. Jerk Face: Feb 8th 2008; 1:22PM

Looks like someone just got told!

joe_of_war: Feb 8th 2008; 1:16PM

With your capital letters you just made the acronym "O SNAP". Even if that wasn't on purpose, it was still awesome.

ThornedVenom: Feb 8th 2008; 2:26PM

If it weren't for you, I would had been dragged into subliminal messaging. Nice eye!

Dr. Jerk Face: Feb 8th 2008; 1:21PM

Wow.. You know, I've never really watched gameplay footage of that game until now because I don't have a PS3 and just kind of never thought about it much.

But seriously? It's really good looking. What a beautiful and serene concept.. Man..

Jack: Feb 8th 2008; 1:53PM

Once, I ditched work and left the lights off in the house and play flOw on shrooms. Most serene 3 hours of my life. (had a low dose)

deaftly: Feb 8th 2008; 2:07PM

It looks better then it really is but for $10 bucks you really can't go wrong. Here give it a shot, this is the original flash version

Thanks a lot for that link, pal. I'm going to spend some time there after work today.

Delgado: Feb 8th 2008; 1:21PM

I don't think that apology was very sincere. I'm pretty sure you enjoyed it way too much.

Ironraptor Albion: Feb 8th 2008; 2:04PM

yanno what would really kickass? flOw for the DS. (would that be flOwDS?)

Can you imagine using the stylus to play this game? It would rock, hardcore.

DMeisterJ: Feb 8th 2008; 2:18PM

I'm truly excited about this. Now it's time for me to dust off my PSP Slim and Lite.

farfisa: Feb 8th 2008; 2:20PM

Speaking of which, shouldn't that read: "...content from the PLAYSTATION 3 game..."?

Keiichi: Feb 8th 2008; 7:12PM

The only thing left now is PSPeggle, and my joy will be complete...

Deozaan: Feb 8th 2008; 8:20PM

I'm pretty sure the "o" in "fl0w" is a zero.
