de Blob 2: The Underground rolls out on PS3, 360, Wii and DS in Spring 2011
16
As THQ CEO Brian Farrell indicated in February, de Blob's amorphous antics will be spreading to multiple platforms in de upcoming sequel, de Blob 2: the Underground. THQ has announced that de game will launch in Spring 2011 on de Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and DS. The move to HD consoles will also enable support for 3D, just in case you felt that Blob's paint-splattering antics should extend beyond your screen and into your living room.
THQ also noted that de Blob would make further appearances through a partnership with the Syfy channel and additional "de Blob-branded consumer products." Like ... squishy de Blob stress balls? You can have that one for free, THQ.

I just hope this game has a better save mechanic. I loved playing the game, but you can't save during levels and my OCD nature wouldn't let me rush to the end, so levels could easily take an hour.

i was going through the one level and at the end got stuck between a couple rocks and couldnt get out. tried for 10 minutes and i wasnt able to jump or roll out. i had everything painted and wasnt going to do that all again. i never played the game again (although i also sold my wii). better save mechanic is a must.

I wonder if there will be actual gameplay in the sequel.

"a partnership with the Syfy channel"
Great. As if the change to a slang term for an STD wasn't enough, now The Network Formerly Named Sci Fi's dating THQ, and you know what that means... a de Blob TV show.

I wonder if that is support for 3D in both HD consoles?

So wait, is the 360 version a kinect game? it would be cool to play with the controller and then use gestures controller still in hand.

This one should definitely have a better save mechanic. I don't wanna keep my Wii on overnight (well, actually, I'm planning on getting it for PS3, but whatever.)
