Hey budding C.O.U.N.T.E.R agents! David Nottingham, (Dynamighty Creative Director) here with some exciting CounterSpy news!
Yesterday, the good folks at Sony, along with our co-conspirators at C.O.U.N.T.E.R declassified the Release Date information for CounterSpy. The day that you will be able to get your hands on CounterSpy (and hopefully prevent this crazed superpower plot to destroy our moon), is August 19th in North America.
For those who are not familiar, CounterSpy is an Action Stealth side-scroller from Dynamighty (that’s us) set during the Cold War. You play as an agent for C.O.U.N.T.E.R, whose singular goal is to prevent the superpowers from accomplishing their crazy race to destroy the moon with nuclear missiles.
The August 19th PSN release is for PS4, PS3 & PS Vita and the price is $14.99. As a reminder, the game is Cross-Buy & also Cross-Save, so purchase it once and you’ll have a copy on all three devices!
As we count down to that date, we’ve also got some help from some talented folks at PlayStation, who helped us by putting together this launch trailer. Enjoy!
We are really excited to finally be close to getting the game into your hands. Starting a new studio has been a big journey for John and me, starting from when we left LucasArts back in 2010.
We’ve been joined along the way by some awesome talented folks. We have two Marks, a lot of Chrisses, only one Ryan though (you don’t want more than one Ryan at a small indie studio — trust us). Grace & Devin, Ed & Jamie all helped bring life into this game… plus many others! We may have to start assigning agent names to people in future.
Also a huge thanks to our friends at PlayStation. They’ve all been big believers in the world of C.O.U.N.T.E.R.
So purchase on August 19th, or if you can’t wait, you can also pre-order! Thanks to the wonders of PlayStation technology, the game will preload on your shiny new PS4 so its available right on launch day.
Stay tuned on Twitter for further announcements. Also, our tumblr continues to post bits and pieces about the development process, including groovy espionage artwork coolness.
So start the clock ticking for August 19th. Meanwhile, read up on your espionage techniques, eat your vegetables and take that yoga class. We need able-bodied C.O.U.N.T.E.R agents. Because if C.O.U.N.T.E.R won’t save us from reckless moon destroying superpowers then who will?
David/Agent Claymore (Diabolical Plot Division) signing off…
The more I look at this game the more I’m interested. I’m really excited to check out the story and get enveloped in the over all style of the game. It’s looking good folks!
But will there be a platinum trophy for a master spy like myself Agent Nottingham?
I’d like to know, wasn’t this title a Vita exlusive? I’m very much interested in this game, can’t wait to play it. Willa demo be available b4 launch?
Vita again for this one… Loving every annouced game today
I wish it wasn’t cross-buy because all I care about is the Vita version and I always get this ugly feeling that I’m paying extra for versions I’ll never touch.
Still, this game looks sweet. And I must say, I thought the game looked good at E3 2013…then I saw it at E3 2014 and was blown away. You really took the time to make it even better!
Any chance you can tell us how many levels are in the game? Are they linear or do they have multiple paths to choose from?
@Shedagilos (3), No it was never a Vita exclusive. It was originally announced for PS3, Vita, and Mobile. PS4 was then added for obvious reasons.
A spy version of Shadow Complex? Yes, please!
This game looks better and better. You can count on my wallet.
Platinum Trophy???
I’ve already decided to preorder this. Looks awesome. But I really hope there’s a plat.
Really wish a demo was being provided I don’t like buying digital games without trying them first. It looks like a fun game but there is always that chance that I might not like it after purchasing.
Too pity it’s not a Vita exclusive and available on mobile phones,I even don’t know buy and support it or not,a15 USD game on Vita would be 4 USD on iOS.
I even have a Moga controller for my iPhone.
I guess I won’t support it.
Looks really fun. Can’t wait to give it a shot!
Hope there’s a platinum.. but I’m not gonna preorder until there are some reviews. Might be a short game… etcetera etcetera.
I love everything about this game, and definitely plan to pre-order. The only question I have is if there are options for melee combat. Everyone knows that a proper spy is a master of both gunplay and hand to hand combat.
Hi MakoSoul, there are melee moves! You can run up to an enemy and take him out with a quick style knife strike to the throat.
A key strategy for the stealth component is sneaking up behind bad guys to take them out using a stealth kill. Or even better, hide in cover and let them come to you….
