PSN Shooter Retro/Grade Launching in August
Can be played with a guitar controller.
PlayStation Network exclusive title, Retro/Grade, will be arriving on August 22nd. The announcement was made by co-founder of indie studio 24 Caret Games, Matt Gilgenbach. The 'R-Type in Reverse' rhythm-action shooter will also be released with a downloadable soundtrack that can also be purchased from PSN.
"For those who aren’t familiar with Retro/Grade, it’s similar to a classic Shoot ‘Em Up… in reverse," reads the announcement on the PlayStation Blog. "At the beginning of the game you stop a massive alien invasion, but all the destruction damages the space/time continuum, causing the flow of time itself to reverse.
"What would have been the final boss is actually the beginning of your backwards journey. You must help Rick Rocket restore the continuity of space/time, before the temporal anomaly rips the universe a new time-hole!"
As the trailer below demonstrates, the game can be played with a standard DualShock 3 controller or a guitar peripheral. Details on this side of play will apparently be coming soon. For now though, check out the colourful video.

Ah s**t. I thought it was a remake of the classic C64 game Retrograde. Instead it looks the bastard progeny of a tedious bullethell game and an equally tedious rhythm/timing game. Boo.
