Penny Arcade's Rain-Slick slips to PS3

By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpotPosted Jul 23, 2008 11:49 am PT

First installment in episodic adventure-RPG series set for release on PlayStation Network in late fall.

Earlier this year, Hothead Games took PC and Xbox 360 players to the brink of bleakness with Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One. Now PlayStation 3 owners will be able to spend time on the same threshold of murkiness, as the developer today announced that a PS3 edition of the game will arrive on the PlayStation Network in late fall.

Set in an alternate 1920s world of New Arcadia, the game follows Gabe and Tycho of the Startling Developments Detective Agency as they set out to discover the evil machinations behind a sudden preponderance of produce-violating automatons. Penny Arcade artist Mike Krahulik provided character designs and artwork to the development team, while writer Jerry Holkins handled the game's story and dialogue.

When it arrives on the PS3, Penny Arcade Adventures: Episode One will be priced in line with the PC and Xbox 360 editions of the game, which sell for about $20. For more on the game, check out GameSpot's review.

    I'm not really sure why it "sux" when a game is released for the other consoles. I thought gaming together was a good thing?

    That's awesome. Congrats to the PS3 owners. Now all I need is Nintendo to release a damn HDD so the game can get into WiiWare. You're killing me here, Nintendo.

    I'm stoked, I've been a PA fan for years and I was heartbroken when they said the game was gonna be on Pc and Xbox360 and not the Ps3(the only gaming platform I have). So this is good news for me I actually do plan on buying this.

    @ CorruptGamerGX: I don't think that I could have said it any better than you did.

    Anyway, hopefully, it doesn't take eons for the 2nd episode to arrive. That's the only problem with episodic games.

    I really liked the demo on XBLA. I will probably get the game for PS3 when it comes out.

    It's been dead for years. Now its a code word for "We want more money before we put it on your console."
