Obscure making PSP Go jump this fall

by Jason Dobson { Jun 5th 2009 at 10:00AM }

Despite its name, Playlogic is doing it best to ensure that its teen survival horror caper, Obscure: The Aftermath, is anything but hard to find. The publisher announced that in addition to the game's previously mentioned UMD release in September, the company will also release the Obscure sequel for download on the PSP Go this fall. A version for play on toaster ovens and other household appliances is also rumored to be in the works, though Playlogic representatives were not immediately available for comment.

That zombies face made me laugh.
Video games have destroyed my innocence...

Drew -- PS360: uphillbothways @ Jun 5th 2009 11:42AM

Yeah... it looks slightly retarded. It's mouth looks like it died while saying, "Durrrrr...."

Drew -- PS360: uphillbothways @ Jun 5th 2009 3:29PM

After several hours, I can finally remember what that zombie face reminds me of - a look that Andy Samberg would give in the SNL short "The Mirror".

The zombie don't have a mouth, his mandible is missing. what you are seeing is his teeh and throat
.

GEEZ, you think you guys could have picked a better picture? Thanks a lot for ruining my breakfast appetite.

Levi @ Jun 5th 2009 10:19AM

I thought all PSP games going forward will be available as a download too? So how is this news? Or did I read something wrong?

I'll have to read more about this game. This is the first I've head of it, and that screenshot looks good. Anybody play the original?

Maverick Saturn @ Jun 5th 2009 10:27AM

It's news because it was originally panned for UMD

But yeah, PSP needs some more survival horrors, Silent Hill was a bit on the Meh side. Whether this game will fill that gap is another question, haven't played the original either.

Ezio Auditore de Firenze [PSN SniperChameleon] @ Jun 5th 2009 12:50PM

i wonder if the new resident evil will be survival horror or action horror...

mikeout @ Jun 5th 2009 10:32AM

How is this news? Every PSP game released and those that will be released will be available as a digital download for the PSP GO!

Don't hope we'r gonna have these every day with stupid (logical) things like;

- Works on PSP GO!
- Will be available on PSP GO!
- Project Natal will work on every 360! (no way!)
- Or like stupid stamps on a simple USB Stick wit "Compatible with Vista".

Why the fck wouldn't it?!

/rant.

Maverick Saturn @ Jun 5th 2009 1:02PM

Actually, the game was going to be UMD only, they've decided to go DD as well, so technically speaking, it is news, maybe not to you, but certainly to me

Draken Stark @ Jun 5th 2009 2:37PM

Here's what I can't help but think: If things are going DD and ppl already have the game on UMD, shouldn't there be a way to download a UMD onto a card or something (aside from hacking). If there isn't going to be (I know this will probably be the case) I have no incentive to get a PSP Go even if I somehow lose the PSP I currently have.

Storm Eagle @ Jun 5th 2009 10:32AM

Heh. His head a-sploded.

Drew -- PS360: uphillbothways @ Jun 5th 2009 11:45AM

Okay, I know I may get downvoted for this, but I'd like to know. Where did that meme come from? It seems like it just asploded onto the scene a month ago, but I remember seeing "YOUR HEAD ASPLODE" on a Strong Bad game like, 6 years ago.

Why the resurgence?

Storm Eagle @ Jun 5th 2009 11:47AM

I don't know. A lot of posters on here use it in lieu of "exploded". And it's funnier. So I think we've just adopted it into our our regular posting vocabulary.

ssuk @ Jun 5th 2009 12:18PM

Damn kids and their memes they know nothing about. Watch:

Drew -- PS360: uphillbothways @ Jun 5th 2009 12:59PM

Damn kids and their sense of superiority combined with poor reading comprehension. Didn't I mention that I saw this from Strong Bad 6 years ago? Geesh.

Nozzinja @ Jun 5th 2009 10:35AM

Hmm it looks.... interesting!

Storm Eagle @ Jun 5th 2009 10:37AM

Also, as a note I wouldn't automatically assume a game will be available as a digital download for the Go at the same time as it's UMD brother. Even though Sony says that this is the case, I assume the responsibility lies in the developer to make the source code of the game available so it can be placed on the PlaystationStore.

Professor Lario @ Jun 5th 2009 10:42AM

Anyone play this on PS2? I nearly picked it up as the co-op game play sounded interesting.

Conor @ Jun 5th 2009 11:10AM

I found it quite enjoyable on the PS2.
Kind of annoying how if someone dies they're gone for good though :/

TM @ Jun 5th 2009 10:50AM

nice face.......er....zombie

golobulus @ Jun 5th 2009 11:09AM

cool. so that will be the psp's second survival horror. if you consider this to be in that category. more i say.

level 5 still has that survival horror rpg for psp coming right?

RavenLord @ Jun 5th 2009 11:23AM

Ugh.....really? This is news? Aftermath was such a terrible game now the developer wants to inflict even more frustration on unsuspecting PSP players? Guys do yourself a favor and don't even bother batting an eye at this game. If it's going to be like its console counterparts your money is best spent elsewhere (like downloading FFVII)

Obscure: The Aftermath= Unknown History:Future Frustration

Jack_Jackington @ Jun 5th 2009 11:48AM

I'm really excited for the psp go. I wonder if this game will have co-op. That would, in theory, be fun to me

Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jun 5th 2009 12:13PM

Obscure on the PSP go,that's it I'm buying one right now I just hope it doesn't ends like well silnt Hill Origins.

Dr. Stabbingworth @ Jun 5th 2009 3:30PM

Cool story, bro.

Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jun 5th 2009 4:13PM

"You are too slow"

I'm not your bro,buddy.

Angel Mass @ Jun 5th 2009 12:51PM

Not happening

JaseH @ Jun 5th 2009 12:54PM

I never said it was, that wasn't my point.

Although I believe it would have been a better alternative.

ok so maybee i missed something...will games that are be labled "for the PSP Go" NOT work on the PSP? or are they just calling a UMDless game that, which you can download on PSN and play on the PSP as well? if this is the case then PSP can officially suck it. i mean really this is the 2897979274 version of the PSP that has been made and yet sony has YET AGAIN compleeeeeeeeeeeetely ignored the ONE AND ONLY thing that their customers have begged, no pleaded, nay, SCREAMED TO THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS for. (drum roll please)... do i really need to say it?

*cough*dual analog*cough*

Jack_Jackington @ Jun 5th 2009 1:16PM

Why would they add another analog to the psp? They can easily save that heavily requested feature for PSP2 or whatever it'll be called

Logan @ Jun 5th 2009 10:23PM

no doubt. heaven forbid there be no selling attribute to the psp2. which makes me worry that the 2 will not be much of an upgrade as far as capabilities/graphics etc. etc...

don't get me wrong i wear my psp and ps3 OUT (total fanboy). it just urked me a bit when they put out yet another version of the same damn thing without upgrading the stick situation.
