System 3 have announced that both Putty Squad and Pinball Arcade will be PS4 launch titles.
“We’re extremely excited to be bringing Putty Squad and Pinball Arcade to PlayStation 4, which gives us the horsepower to create the most advanced pinball simulation to-date, and recreate everyone’s favourite morphing hero, Putty, in super high quality,” said Mark Cale, CEO of System 3. “Pinball Arcade is the authentic pinball title on any format, loved by gamers the world over, and the critically acclaimed Putty Squad goes as far back as 1992, so we’re excited to offer something unique and compelling on launch day.”
The Putty Squad game seems to have always been on the cusp of release having been announced almost three years ago. It then vanished, thus earning a mention in my feature hunting down missing PS Vita games before resurfacing and being previewed by Teflon a little over five months ago.

I hope the Pinball Arcade on PlayStation 4 is Cross Buy with PS3. I’m not prepared to pay again for the same tables.

I’d love that to be the case. It’d be another excuse to get a PS4, just to play all 381 tables all over again (it’s not 381, is it? Just seems like that many. Enough that they hit a limit on trophies with the last pack)
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like that’ll happen. Just some sort of cheap upgrade path. So you don’t have to buy them all again at full price, but you’re not going to get to play them on the PS4 without paying something.
And I bet they don’t dump all 1253 tables on the PS4 at once. They’ll start slowly releasing them and finish some time around the point when the PS5 is announced.

Loved that trailer, real old school platformer…!
