Rizzle Kicks Experience Their World in Play with The Playstation® Vita
To celebrate the UK launch of PlayStation Vita on February 22nd, Rizzle Kicks star in a short film showcasing their world in play.
To celebrate the launch of the PlayStation® Vita on 22nd February, PlayStation have teamed up with UK hip hop stars Rizzle Kicks to capture their world in play!
The two minute short film follows a day in the life of the British hip hop duo, Jordan Stephens and Harley Alexander-Sule each making their separate ways to one of their gigs. The keen gamers Jordan and Harley put the PlayStation Vita through its paces, playing it anytime, anywhere against each other.
The hotly-anticipated PlayStation Vita has gaming at its heart; offering users the best possible portable gaming experience, including WiFi and 3G capabilities, PlayStation 3 quality graphics, touch sensitive front and back screens, dual analogue sticks and new ways of social interaction with ‘Near’ and ‘Live Area’ functions.
The short film will be premiered online from the 21st February and on TV from the 24th February. Viewers will also be able to catch the film in cinemas nationwide from the 9th March. The film’s soundtrack features ‘Dreamers’ from their current album Stereotypical and is due for release later this year and an extended version of the film will be released as the video for the track.
"We've got such a busy 2012 coming up with our tour dates, playing festivals and recording our second album. The Vita's perfect for keeping us entertained when we've got some downtime or when we're on the go" says Jordan Stephens
