Snapshot Developing on PS3 and Vita in Autumn

Platformers have become hugely popular in the last few years after having trailed off for some time, and it’s games like Snapshot that should help maintain the genre’s forward momentum.

Retro Affect has infused this game with a clever hook: you can take pictures of the environment, then place them down and interact with them in other areas. For instance, if you take a picture of a box you can then use that box to climb ledges that are otherwise too high. If the box is moving when you take the picture it will continue to move when you put a picture down. You can even rotate the picture upward to shoot the box into the sky.

Sony’s Playstation Blog puts the game’s release in Fall 2012 on not just the Playstation 3, but the Vita as well. The game is also coming to Steam (as per Retro Affect’s Facebook), though no information is available on when.
