Out of nowhere today, the game Trine was announced for PSN... and one viewing of the trailer immediately had lots of people in the office buzzing. Seriously, if you haven’t seen it yet, check this out:
Trine 'Platforming' trailer HD
It’s absolutely gorgeous, and seems reminiscent of classic 2D adventure/puzzle titles like Flashback, Out of This World, and Oddworld: Abe’s Odyssey. Trine comes from Finnish developer Frozenbyte, with staff members who’ve worked on such titles as Super Stardust HD (in fact, the trailer’s music definitely sounds like it’s from Super Stardust HD composer Ari Pulkkinen).
According to the information released so far, the game has you creating and using physics-based objects to defeat enemies and get through puzzles (you can see this in the trailer). It features three heroes, each with his or her own abilities (the wizard summons objects, the thief uses agility, and the warrior offers physical destruction), and you can choose which one you want to use at any time.
The best news, though, is that it’s not far off -- Trine will release in Spring of 2009. We can’t wait to see more.
