Announced at SONY’s Pre-E3 Press Conference (although
having already been
unveiled by
Electronic Theatre
days before), Patapon 2 is the sequel to this Easter’s
similarly named
Patapon.
Having been deemed one of the PlayStation Portable’s
most compelling titles – alongside LocoRoco, which also has
had the benefit of having a
sequel announced at this year’s show –
fans of the first title can expect more of the same; only bigger.
Details are still scarce, but what we do know is that
the developers have had time to work through a handful of features
they had hoped to include in the first title, yet were unable to for
one reason-or-another. The biggest of these new additions revealed
thus far would be the Multi-Player Mode, which can host up to four
players. The title’s designer, Hiroyuki Kotani has revealved that
the Multi-Player stems from the Single-Player, yet, cryptically,
will involve “giant eggs”.
The internet is rampant right now with people claiming
to have “inside information”, and while much of it sounds feasible,
with no release date available from SONY and, in actual fact, little
more than a handful of screenshots, Patapon 2 is a title for
which we’ll be playing the waiting game until we get to play it
ourselves. |
