PS3 Rubber Ducky game coming!

[Shifty Geezer]

When everyone else was oo-ing and ah-ing and a certain PS3 'demo' from E3 '05, I was loving the Ducky Demo, especially with the boats and their cloth destruction. Finally the Rubber Duck gets his own game!

Oh, and Super Rub'a'Dub - a downloadable game based on Harrison's 3D ducks demo - is due on the PS3 Store "in a few weeks". It's fully tilt controlled, and has been previously confirmed as a downloadable launch title for the PS3 in Europe.

Suddenly £450 seems a bargain! I hope they've really pushed the visuals. Given the simplicity of the concept, depending on what the actual game is, they could go to town on lighting and shading.

Wonder if the pirate ships will be in the game also.

GameSpot took a few snaps of the game during Phil's Q&A:

Some people got to check it out after the demo, and thought it was simple, yet really fun.
Like Super Monkey Ball with water and ducks. I'm hoping for a nice cheap $2.99 download

Talk about milking a franchise! How many times are we going to see the rubber ducks from Sony?





I wonder what the "game" will be? Could be a cool use of the liquid dynamics tech in this demo.

Wait, what? When did imagination technologies get involved?

Ohh I hope they still allow users to hook up the camera and poor the water using the cup like they showed before!!

And how about adding some lather for some real sand.. I mean.. "sud"-box gameplay!!

They need to make a PS3 version of the old PSone game from Psygnosis Overboard.
It would make a perfect downloadable game.

Definitely. They need to really push the techs from that demo. Controlling the duck(s) only by pouring water next to them would be original and super-intuitive. I wanna see the ships too. The cutesy look of the boats with their sail damaging and such, would make a fantastically simple multiplayer game. Think 'Pirates' or Monkey Island 3's nautical combat, in the ship demo quality. Awesome.

Search for Overboard (PSone)/Shipwreckers (PC) from Psygnosis.

What is imagination technologies?

Video Logic, makers of PowerVR, became Imagination Technologies at some point and time.

Cute game, but......

.....I wanted Duck Hunt 2.

 

[Silenti]

Either there is a load of sarcasm I'm not picking up on here or I am way, way, waaay out of touch on fun gaming. It's a game based on tilting a pan of water around to make ducks follow each other? I have to be missing something here. I'm going back to Gears. (Yes, neat physics, but a game based around this? As a tech demo of possibilities I see the excitement, sort of, but as an actual game?)

Heh this might be appropriate time to confess that I'm a huge duck fan. I even have a photo album dedicated to duck pictures. I have been feeding them since.... ever. Ducks are cute.

It's a downloadable game, so I don't know why you're comparing it to something like Gears of War. Compare it to other PSN or XBLA games.

 

[Silenti]

Ahhhh. Certainly missed that part. Still don't quite get it but hey, if The Sneak King games can sell...................

 

[patsu]

Cute ! If it does the following, it's an instant buy for me (my kid):
* "Violent" in a cartoonish way (explosions, flattened ducks, duck-shaped hole in the wall... a la Tom & Jerry, Roadrunner, ...)
* Make realistic or funny duck sound
* LOH (Lot's of Happenings) technology
* Multiplayer mode (local)

Same here . I guess im just one of the very few thats sick and tired of Phil Harrison and his Ducks

It seems like it should be a freebie ala GT:HD.
