OlliOlli Grinding Its Way To PS3 And PS4
After finding solid footing on the PlayStation Vita, OlliOlli developer Roll7 has announced that its skateboarding title will be making an appearance on Sony home consoles. No release date has been announced, but the game will be exclusive to Vita at least until summer 2014.
Following its successful release, members of Sony’s content team in Europe made the recommendation that Roll7 bring the title to PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. Additionally, the team says that a Vita patch is in the works that will fix a crash bug and “put a smile on people’s faces.”

Our Take
Sony’s approach to indies seems to be about cultivation. At GDC, I heard a similar story from Futurlab, which is currently developing Velocity 2X for PS4 and Vita. Indie developers we’ve talked to have sung Sony’s praises, and that kind of loyalty is how healthy, exclusive libraries are built.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
