    Sony Trademarks Echoshift (Which Is Probably Echochrono)

    Black and white perspective shifting puzzler echochrome is getting a semi-sequel in echochrono, as revealed at E3 2009. Perhaps that name was a bit too similar, as the PlayStation maker has filed a new, familiar sounding trademark. More »

    echochrome Coming To PlayStation Home In Two Dimensions

    Tatsuya Suzuki and Jun Fujiki, lead developers on the PSP and PlayStation 3 puzzler echochrome, announced that a 2D version of the game is coming to PlayStation Home at an unspecified date. Instead of tapping into the PS3's 4D capabilities, the Japan Studios team is going in the other direction, presumably adhering to their gameplay credo of "getting people to play with rules and laws."

    echochrome Review: Poppin', Lockin' and Thinkin'

    Sony touted it's minimalist PlayStation Network puzzler echochrome at E3 2007 as a game inspired by the classic, simple-but-deep rule sets of traditional brain teasers like the Chinese board game Go and the Rubik's Cube. Pitched as the PlayStation 3 game with "the least graphics and the most gameplay," echochrome lets players guide an animated artist mannequin through a blocky construct, picking up "echoes" via Escher-esque perspective bending.

    PlayStation Store Update: echochrome Edition

    This week's PlayStation Store store update doesn't shy away from a game release like some people did, bringing the mind-bending puzzler echochrome to North American PlayStation 3s and PSPs. It's the main draw this week, with a Dark Sector demo available for those with tightly shut virtual wallets and a taste for first-person throwing. It's low key, but a whole mess of Rock Band tracks, wallpapers and videos await you after the jump. More »

    echochrome? Thursday!

    As the minimal headline suggests, Sony's long awaited Escher-esque 3D puzzler echochrome will arrive digitally on North American shores tomorrow. The PlayStation 3 and PSP versions will each ring up at $9.99 and features 56 platform specific, ultimately controller flinging puzzles. I'm off to sell a pint to scrounge up the funds for both.

    echochrome Demo Changing Minds Tomorrow

    Anxious to get your hands on the perspective-bending puzzler echochrome for the PlayStation 3 and PSP? At the official PlayStation Blog, the game's associate producer Kumi Yuasa has just announced that the demo for the game will be available tomorrow via the PlayStation Store on the PS3, with the PSP demo also available on the PC version of the store. The demo will only take you through a brief tutorial, but Yuasa is excited about what's in store for us once the game releases.
    On PS3, you can upload your created levels to the developers through the game's interface. Once uploaded, your creation will be considered by the developers for a future downloadable content release.
    User created levels from Japan and Asia will be available from day one, with US players' creations folded into the mix at a later date. Check out the new video up top for a glimpse at how the game will change the way you look at everything. More »

    Echochrome To Skip UMD Release In America

    Unsurprisingly, Sony will bypass regular retail channels for its minimal PSP and PlayStation 3 puzzler echochrome, with Newsweek confirming that the UMD version for PSP will be a Japan and Asia only offering. North Americans will see the PSP arrive as a digital download only. While that may not sit well with some gamers, a title like echochrome would have very little chance of success at retail, with its intentionally simple aesthetic and potentially cheaper PlayStation 3 counterpart.

    The PlayStation Network's Next Big Games

    The release of SOCOM Confrontation via the PlayStation Network this fall may have the mass appeal to be a digitally distributed "killer app" for the PlayStation fan base, but Sony has plenty of unique offerings over the next few months, some of which we are already intimately familiar with. Echochrome and Wipeout HD haven't been lacking in exposure, but MTV's Stephen Totilo goes hands-on with two more PSN originals, Elefunk and PixelJunk Monsters Encore to get a handle on what's next for the Store.

    Echochrome Getting Summer US Release?

    Echochrome To Cost Twice As Much On PSP Than PS3?

    Here's something disconcerting if it pans out as true: Siliconera reports that Echochrome will cost more than double for a UMD PSP ($37) version than a downloadable PSN/PS3 version ($17) when released on March 19th in Japan. While we've seen similar pricing discrepancies with downloadable vs. retail versions of Warhawk, that price difference included a headset for online chat. More »

While the PSP camera and GPS device are being "tweaked" for a US release, no TV tuner is planned. And those original PSN games? Not before 2008, says Koller. More »

    echochrome Screens

    Sony says it's looking for a console defining puzzle game in echochrome—a fairly tall order. It certainly doesn't look like anything else on the PLAYSTATION 3, but it reminds us of minimal previous PlayStation gems like Intelligent Qube and Vib-Ribbon. Of everything that SCEA showed at yesterday's E3 conference, this PlayStation Network downloadable was the most striking thing I recall. Possible only with the power of Cell (and possibly some good graphing calculators)! More »
