Retro City Rampage Finally Releases October 9

Posted on Friday, October 5 @ 13:52:27 Eastern by

VBlank's Retro City Rampage, a retro-styled parody Grand Theft Auto and all things good in the video game world, has been in the works for what feels like forever. Daniel's preview of the title was posted in June... of last year. The image above was from before Fall 2010. And technically, it started as a homebrew project since 2002. (I was just out of high school then... damn, I just made myself feel old.)

So it comes to our surprise that VBlank has announced that Retro City Rampage will be available in just four days on October 9 in North America for PS3, Vita, and PC. It's not exactly the best day to pick, as both Dishonored and XCOM: Enemy Unknown are arriving then, but at this point any release date is a gift.

For $14.99, you will get one copy for both PS3 and Vita (yep, you read that right), or one PC version available on Steam, GOG, and VBlank's home site. In fact, if you purchase it off his site, you'll get a free download code for Steam or GOG.com at no additional cost. Wahoo!

Retro City Rampage will also make it to European shores later this month, and WiiWare and XBLA will arrive later this year. Let's hope this doesn't get delayed, eh?

    Finally, but at this point it's hard to care given all the other amazing games.

    Well, I'm getting my Vita at the end of October and will need games. Will have to see what Ps+ offers in November. Maybe there will be a discount on this.

    Until then, Dishonored!

    I got to play the short demo at E3, was a lot of fun. I wish I hadn't found it so late on the show floor though.

    I'm sure the game will be fun, especially for me, given that I like GTA2 far more than most of the 3D ones, I just hope it doesn't try to coast too far purely on its "parody" aspects. I recall taking 3D Dot Game Heroes to task for that in a blog post I made here. At $15 I'm definitely inclined to give it a chance.
