Big Sky Infinity coming to Vita and PS3

I don’t blame you if you were holding out for another game with something pertaining to Infinity in the title this year, but I really must insist that you watch the trailer up there. (Make sure to change the quality… it is defaulting to 240p)

I’m going to assume that you’re still here. That was Really Big Sky, a 2011 PC game. This year, the latest version of that game, titled Big Sky Infinity will be coming to PS3 and Vita, with original developer Boss Baddie studios partnering with VooFoo Studios on development duty, and Ripstone on publishing duties. While not much is known about the new version, the press release below does take the time to state that the new version ‘will introduce new modes and enemies, and touch controls to its predecessors.’ While that’s rather vague, the very idea of an expanded version of the above game gets me rather excited. We could always use more insane side scrolling shooters, and this looks like just the right level of brain damaging insanity. Big Sky Infinity is due out this year, and we’ll bring you more details when they’re released.
