No Gravity: The Plague of Mind - Image 1Here's a major upgrade! From being a homebrew game to an actual PSN title, RealTechVR's No Gravity: The Plague of Mind is now ready for a US release. The ESRB has just given its seal of approval, giving it an Everyone 10+ rating, describing it as a Fantasy Violence game.

Says the rating summary from ESRB:

This is a 3D space shooter in which players assume the role of a pilot who investigates the cause of a mysterious plague that originates from space. Players engage in mission-based objectives that include clearing mines and asteroids, defeating enemy ships, and escorting friendly ships. Spacecrafts use lasers and missiles during combat, and mild explosions are depicted as enemies are dispatched. Players are scored based on the number of enemies defeated and the number of friendly ships lost.


There was no other information in the ESRB listing, but we're sure there'll more in the coming days. So stay tuned for more info on this.

I saw the trailer for this game and it looked awesome, can't wait for it to come out hopefully before or during summer.



Hey Mabie thanks for the info, but what did you mean "From being a homebrew game to an actual PSN title" ?

It was originally a homebrew game and the developers released a homebrew demo. Then they decided they could make money if they finished it and put it on the PSN instead.



If you have a CFW PSP you can get the demo here:

akadewboy did a great explanation of what that sentence meant. imagine a homemade project suddenly recognized to be good enough to be mass marketed. say for example your homemade cookies.



so it's actually a good thing cos it means the quality is that good for it to be accepted by sony as part of their psn games lineup. :)

this was one of the best homebrew games out. I remember when it first came out. I was amazed by the explosions and the music!



then again it is possible to run 1.50 on a slim.

its been done.

» Yeah

Looks similar to the demo and has a heavy action oriented feel to it.



With this tech they could have expanded it a little and created the next gen PSP version of Elite or even gone online with ala Eve to give it more longevity.



Part of me says 'good luck' with them going commercial with this, the other half says 'sif pay for homebrew!' as they've gone commercial with this for cash in what many will consider a 'sell out' to the rest of the brew scene.



Still, it should be a decent release so I'm looking forward to checking it out.
