PSN Store Update: 15/05/03 – Velocity Ultra, Terraria and Jacob Jones

Velocity Ultra arrives for PlayStation Vita today. We love the guys at FuturLab and we’ve always thought that this game was a bit special, from its original minis incarnation right up to the early look we had at its entirely recreated Vita outing. This native Vita version adds new gameplay elements and utilises some of the Vita’s unique control options so it’s well worth a look.

Also expected to grace the handheld this week is Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery (review here). This puzzler from British developers, Lucid Games, is striking to look at, begins a series and it’s cheap as chips at just £1.59. It’s also coming to iOS, tomorrow as far as we know, but looking at it on that big gorgeous Vita screen is a temptation for those of us with the option of either platform.

There’s some ’80s and Dubstep DLC for Sound Shapes, which we’re really only highlighting here for two reasons: Sound Shapes is excellent and it gives us the chance to embed this trailer below.

Terraria is also set to finally make its appearance on the EU PSN. It’s been a fairly long and uncommunicative wait for European PSN users eager to see what PC and, more recently, XBLA users have been so keen about. That’s priced at £11.99 or €14.99 if you’re of a more continental (or Irish) persuasion. We’ll try to get a review done as soon as possible.

• Terraria [PS3]
• Resident Evil Revelations Demo [PS3]

There’s also the usual raft of little DLC bits and pieces, including plenty of new colours, glasses and “navigation” items to buy for Persona 4 Arena.

We’ll update with anything else surprising or interesting as it’s announced. The entire list can be found on the EU PS Blog later today.
