Velocity was the first piece of work we were genuinely proud of, and it was wonderful to watch it become accepted and championed by so many people.
We knew we could do better though, a lot better, and many of Velocity’s fans knew it could be improved too.
So now we have Velocity®Ultra, and suffice to say, we are satisfied this time 🙂

Congradumalations guys on shipping the awesome sparkly new Velocity game!!!
Super eager to try it out after I get paid next week, my Vita backlog is building up quickly after only a month of not buying any games for it; Zombie Tycoon 2, Soul Sacrifice and now Velocity Ultra, with all the Vita related content also now starting to popup on the PS Blog it seems the Vita may finally be picking up a little bit!

I thought Coconut Dodge came before Velocity? :O Coconut Dodge is pretty awesome, you weren’t genuinely proud of it? I still remember how vocal you guys were Bunny Dodge was released. 😛
Anyways, can’t wait to try this game out next week and see what awesome trophies you guys managed to put into the game to be worthy of a platinum. 🙂

Hello! Thanks for the message. Coconut Dodge was our first attempt at making a commercial video game. It’s great fun, but it doesn’t reflect our company values as well as something like Velocity. Depth and originality is really important for us, and Coconut Dodge, whilst fun, falls short of that. We still love it though 🙂

Lucky Europeans. I was really looking forward to being able to play it, but unfortunately I have to wait. Any idea of how long we smelly North Americans have to wait?
James @ FuturLab
It shouldn’t be that long, but we have no idea how far along the game is in Sony’s QA in North America. Sorry!

I really love the MINIS version! And I can’t wait for it to get to NA! There will be a sequel, right?
James @ FuturLab
That depends on a lot of things, but hopefully! 😀

I loved the original Velocity! Any chance Ultra is coming to PS3?
James @ FuturLab
That depends on how it does on PS Vita – we’d love to put it on PS3 too.

hi james – any progress on fixing the platinum trophy bug?
James @ FuturLab
We’re working on it right now: http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/velocity-ultra/198695-ridley-platinum-trophy-bug.html – it requires a lot of testing to be absolutely certain it is fixed. Applying a patch takes a lot of time so we need to get it right first time. We’ll update this website thread when we have a date for the patch.

i saw that thread and think it is awesome you are connected to the gamers society the way you do, will be much more fun to support your games that way
velocity is awesome, the thing i saw on my game progress is after completing the smith challenge it’s not highlighted on the progress screen.
thanks alot for the reply and for a great game and hopefully my new platinum

I want this game so bad. When I got an email from you guys on my birthday saying it was out (May 15) I rush home after work to download it, Oh the disappointment I had when I found out it was only out in Europe. Am still waiting (not so patiently) for a US release.
James @ FuturLab
🙁 Shouldn’t be too long now…

Any updates on a NA release?
James @ FuturLab
Hiya, it’s back in test at SCEA QA, so until we hear back from them we don’t have any idea. We’re all hoping we’ll pass this time! Subscribe to the site and you’ll be among the first to know when it’ll be available.
