Q.bert is Back @!?@! One of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful arcade games of the 1980s is back in its classic pixel perfect 2D form, and a re-imagined Rebooted version with state of the art 3D game-play and graphics that remain faithful to the original concept. Feb 18, 2015 My gameplay of Q.bert Rebooted For PS4, I hope you enjoy the Video.
Platform: PS VitaAlso On: PS4, PS3Publisher: LOOT EntertainmentDeveloper: LOOT EntertainmentMedium: DigitalPlayers: 1Online: NoESRB: EThere’s no denying that Q.Bert occupies a pretty important place in video game history. It was one of the very first platformers back in 1982, albeit in a form that’s quite different from how platformers look today. While the genre may have evolved beyond its simple design very, very quickly, you can still draw a line down through Mario, Sonic, Rayman, etc., that begins with the first Q.Bert game.
Considering the retro trend of the last few years, it kind of makes sense for the game to be resurrected.Not only that, it fits in neatly with the whole micro-platformer genre that games like Super Meat Boy have popularized. Each level takes up a single screen, and the general structure never varies at all. There are subtle differences between them (that obviously get less subtle and a lot more difficult as the game progresses), but Q.Bert Rebooted is a lot more about mastering quick movements than it is about getting from Point A to Point B.All of which is to say, I understand why Q.Bert Rebooted exists. That, of course, is very different from saying that it should exist — and quite frankly, after playing it, I’m not sure that it should.Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a terrible game.
It’s pretty faithful to the original Q.Bert — a point driven home by the game’s inclusion of Q.Bert Classic. But that’s also the major issue: regardless of whether you’re playing the original or the rebooted versions, it’s pretty much the same game that existed 30+ years ago. And while that was undoubtedly a revelation then, it’s not nearly as impressive now.The problem is that all those other franchises Q.Bert helped birth surpassed it in every way imaginable. While I understand how transgressive it must have seemed for the titular character to swear every time it loses a life thirty years ago, a bunch of exclamation points and question marks seems pretty quaint today. Likewise, while the notion of jumping from block to block was clearly groundbreaking back when very few other games were doing it, you can imagine how basic it seems today.And, of course, there’s nothing wrong with basic. Micro-platformers have shown how possible it is to do a lot with very little.
But they also have shown how much more there is to do than simply jumping up and down in four different directions.They’ve also shown just how precise controls can get, which isn’t a lesson Q.Bert Rebooted has taken to heart at all. This game only works really well when you’re asked to jump up, down, left or right; try going diagonally, and you’re essentially taking a roll of the dice on whether it will work.To be sure, I think it’s neat that Q.Bert’s developers decided to bring the classic game to a generation who’ve probably never seen it outside of being a side character in Wreck-It Ralph a few years ago. And I’m grateful that they didn’t try and give it some insane makeover, a la Bomberman.
But they also didn’t demonstrate why the game had to be reborn — sorry, “Rebooted” — for the modern era, when everything about it makes it clear it probably should’ve stayed in the past.
Want to play one of the most well-known, bestselling games IN THE HISTORY OF GAMING? Q.Bert is back, for your PS4, PS3 AND Vita.The complete original version of Q.Bert is only half of the equation. Gonzo Games, Sideline Amusements, Games Production Company and we here at are also bringing a completely reimagined Q.Bert game to PlayStation: Q.Bert Rebooted.To keep it short and sweet: you get two great Q.Bert games (on all three PlayStation platforms) for the price of one.So: how do you take such a classically perfect game design and successfully modernise it?Instead of cubes, Q.Bert Rebooted features hexagons. That may not sound like a game-changer, but it is. Suddenly, you get some really interesting level designs, especially later in the game.In addition, there are new features, such as time and score challenges, new enemies with their own unique behaviors, new playable characters, power-ups, traps, and gem-collecting. Q.Bert Rebooted is the equivalent of your old backyard treehouse refurbished by Bob Vila: same nostalgic joy, but magically just better.Everything that was awesome is still awesome.
Q.Bert endures because, like all of the best designs from that era, it’s straightforward, memorable, and timelessly challenging. Whether you played it yesterday or 30 years ago, Q.Bert classic is just as engaging as it was when it came out. This is the genuine classic arcade version of Q.Bert. Q.Bert Rebooted will have you on your toes as you try to figure out the complex maps while the screen throws all sorts of enemies at you.Q.Bert is HARD. Not artificially, stupidly, punish-you-just-to-add-replay-time hard – just challenging enough for the casual user to enjoy and engaging enough for the serious gamer who wants bragging rights. Remember when you had to really hone your skills because every go ’round cost a quarter? Sometimes the most “casual” games are the ones which, frankly, are for the truly hardcore.Q.Bert Rebooted is coming to PlayStation, and the coolest nose from the 1980s is bringing a whole bunch of whoop @!#?@!
I started out on the Sinclair Spectrum and advanced onto the Commodore64, never played Q.Bert but i did play Paradroid and Dropzone, would like to see both on the Vita.Sony, if you’re feeling particularly generous then go by the rights to what was at the time a very advanced game in the arcades called I, Robot. It is a crime that this game has been neglected, it stood out from the crowd at a time when Time Pilot, Defender and Elevator Action were about. This game needs to be re-found for the masses, It’s CLASSIC!! Please people, can we please have some original ideas in gaming? That’s what you come up with on the ” next gen console”???Are we really filling the line up with rehashes of every “classic ” ever made?I am directing this at Sony mostly, and on studio’s secondly Now we have these amazing machines and all you can give us is games like Qbert? Or the rest of the remake games we got in the last 4 years.Please people, at least try to be original!
Make your own game and refuse to make another version of Sonic or Captain Planet or witch ever game you want to re do!I understand the need to fill up the line up of games, but this just shows desperation in my opinion. Remake’s of remakes, HD versions of remakes and so on and so forth is NOT what i bought a PS4 for!I wanted NEXT GEN GAMING this year. Indie games are cool and all, when they are originals and of great quality. This does nothing for gamers and for Sony but to bring us down.

And i dare to hope that the majority of gamers feel the same way. Qbert had his day.
A Must have for Playstation Ownersby30 Oct 2010Crash Bash may is as good as Niendo's Mario Party, if not better. Crash bash pc. The gameplay is based around different mini-games (like Mario Party), set into four groups.
Now it’s time for other games too wow us. Remember that this is not one of the big sony studios. This is just a tiny group of people that was previously working on stuff for playstation home. You know, they can’t all be working on the next big thing.
Velocity 2x define. They are not using resources usually occupied with AAA games on this titles.Beside, there are people – like me – who grew up with games like Q.Bert and love a new version of it. I also got Putty Squad, Super Stardust Ultra, Superfrog HD, Alien Breed HD, Worms Battleground, Another World etc – all originating in titles from the 90s. But I’m also playing all modern games like Battlefield 4 (By DiCE, which back in the 90s started with making Pinball games for the Amiga).
