[LJ] Al commented on One of Our Giraffes is Missing: 'Hungry Giraffe' AWOL in Europe! O_o

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 15:02:07 GMT

Hey everyone. The observant among you may have already noticed that Hungry Giraffe has gone live to everyone on the SCEE PSN Store after going AWOL since last Wednesday's supposed general release date. Apologies for the delay but it took us rather longer than anticipated to track down a net with a long enough handle on ebay. Still, better late than never - now everyone is free to feed our giraffe to the heart's (and his stomach's) content. PS+ subscribers are also still able to pick up Hungry Giraffe for free, so if you haven't go and do so now. :)

@EdEN I'm not allowed to reveal the particular trick we used but it combines some things we discovered when making the Fighting Fantasy games and Ace Armstrong.

Currently playing Hungry Giraffe for my review. How did you guys manage to make it look so good on PS3 and yet be a minis that works great on PSP as well?

While its not my kinda game, Hungry Giraffe does look very pretty on PS3, who ever got that to work is a genius!

@EdEN Thanks. Hope you enjoy it :) @John We do have more plans for our giraffe but nothing we can to talk about yet.

Are you planning on doing a Hungry Giraffe HD like you did with Cubixx HD? Thanks

That's great news! I'll start working on a review for Hungry Giraffe as soon as I can download it thanks to my PS+ subscription, and I'll be waiting for the US retail release to post it.

Well it's got at least one fan outside the office too if that's any help :)

@EdEN My previous explanation is incorrect it can't tell what console it is being played on. It uses a property of the emulator to acheive the effect.

@Gincairn It's an idea which still has a few fans here so we'd quite like to return to it if we get the time of course.

I'm still really liking the concept for the failsports game, is there any chance of a revival? perhaps on Vita?

@EdEN It's a clever little trick our programmer Paul worked out. Hungry Giraffe can actually tell if it's being played on a PS3 or a PSP and uses the higher res artwork if they are playing on PS3.

Wait, High-Res art when played on the PS3? Huh, that's interesting! Looking forward to the US release of Hungry Giraffe so I can have the opportunity to review it. So far, you guys haven't disappointed me and I believe that this release won't be the exception!

Ahem: there's an amendment to this release date. All these bundles have been pushed back to an SCEE PSN Store release date of 15th February 2012. We're not exactly sure why this is, but I'm investigating with Sony and will let you know once we hear anything.

@EdEN No news yet. We're still waiting for it to pass submission in North america.

Ok, that's one release down. Still no news about a US release for the game?

trophies you say... insta-buy, I don't care if its 30 pounds and has only two bronze trophies... that are AS impossible as Cubixx HD... I want my trophies :D But your games are cheap so I'm assuming no 30 pound price tag, and congrats on a 2nd HD game :)

Trophies... or insane Cubbixx HD Trophies? Hehehe. Had a lot of fun working on the Cubixx HD review and trophy guide... but please, go easy on us with the trophy requirements this time ;)

It's on PS3. So yep, it'll include trophies. :D
