Developer Young Horses, with the aid of Sickhead games, has successfully brought Octodad: Dadliest Catch onto the PS Vita. The game is now set to launch, and it has a May 26, 2015 release date. Yep, that’s next Tuesday for all you would-be octopi in disguise. The PS Vita version will move for $14.99. It’s a Cross-Buy title, so if you already own it on your PlayStation 4, you will...
As part of yesterday’s Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo showed off a whole ton of indie games they have on the way. Some we already know, some we’ve already played. With nearly 30 titles on the way, though, Wii U and 3DS owners will have plenty to do. Games like Octodad: Dadliest Catch and Don’t Starve have been out for a while, so they’ll likely appeal mostly to gamers who play...
Octodad: Dadliest Catch was only living a deceptive lie as a PlayStation 4 console exclusive. The truth is that developer Young Horses was just biding its time while planning to conquer the Xbox One as well. The time has finally come for an invasion, because the popular indie hit will be released on Microsoft's console this summer. Young Horses describes the game to its new audience...
I'm beginning to wonder if the reason I am not getting hyped for these holiday sales is because I've already bought everything on my wishlist. That can't be true though, because my horrific Steam library still towers over my relatively small digital PlayStation collection. Week 2 of PlayStation's Holiday Sale is still soul searching for that drop dead amazing deal that I can't possibly...
You know what’s wild? In the five months since its initial release on PC (and then on the PlayStation 4), Octodad: Dadliest Catch has managed to sell more than 250,000 copies. The folks from Young Horses decided that this morning would be a good time to publicly celebrate that stat with the announcement of upcoming DLC for the game that’s about a completely normal father who definitely...
Some games don't have much of a narrative, or require you infer or create your own. For others, the fun of the game is almost entirely dependent upon the narrative. Those games rely heavily on world building; that is, creating a place and making you feel like a part of it to whatever degree is necessary to make the game work.
Octodad: Dadliest Catch is now officially set to flub and blub over to the PlayStation 4 from the PC on April 22. That's next Tuesday, folks. The better bit of the news? It's showing up with a discount wrapped in its inconspicuous tentacles. PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to purchase the game for $11.99 as opposed to its normal price of $14.99. That discount only lasts until...
This is easily one of the weirdest trends in video gaming: animal simulators. First we had a full blown cat simulator called CatLateral Damage, and then the developers at Coffee Stain Games brought us the Internet’s favorite video game, Goat Simulator. One could even make an argument that we have octopuses covered, too, but that one is a little unrealistic. (And Goat Simulator isn’t?)...
Now that the PC gaming world has had a chance to spill through tricky environments as an octopus disguised as a human, the Young Horses development team have set April in their sights for a PlayStation 4 release of Octodad: Dadliest Catch. While not a confirmed release date, the April window is more of a rough target. Young Horses has made it apparent that they want to hit the console...
Here we are with one of this silliest games we've played so far in 2014. We mean that in the best way possible, of course. This is Octodad: Dadliest Catch. If you haven't already read it, our review for the game went live a little bit earlier today. Spoiler alert: it's awesome. You'll keep your secret octopus identity from your family and the humans around you as you sloppily spill...
