Velocity Ultra, the PlayStation Vita exclusive remake of Velocity, will be releasing on Steam on December 12 for £6.99 / $9.99 / €8.99.

The game is a fast paced arcade shooter, which utilizes a novel teleportation element that adds an extra layer of depth to the title without slowing down the pace and adding a puzzle element to a genre that has traditionally been about shooting first, thinking later.

The game runs at a blistering 60 frames per second, and features a widely acclaimed electronic soundtrack, both of which can be viewed in the trailer above.

The PC port is being handled by Curve Studios, with Curve Digital, the indie outfit that brought us gems like Thomas Was Alone on consoles, publishing it.

In addition to featuring all the content that the Vita game had, it will feature fully customizable controls (of course) as well as full Steamworks support. Stay tuned for more coverage.

Sony’s PlayStation Vita is a pretty impressive piece of hardware with a small, but good selection of games. On top of it, this little handheld powerhouse does way more than simply play games too. It’s a true, portable multimedia device that allows gamers to do anything from listen to music, surf the web and even watch Netflix anywhere they are.

Really, the only thing you can’t do with it is make a phone call, which probably doesn’t phase the owners of this device. What the PS Vita needs at this point are more games. While there are some good one’s available now, it’s not enough to really carry the PS Vita into the future. With the option to be able to pair this puppy with Sony’s PS4, there has to be more in store for the device. It deserves more than just being a vestigial extension to Sony’s soon to be released console.

1. God of War:

The God of War series has always done well with Sony’s fans, regardless of it being released on handhelds or consoles. It’s the franchise that most of us picked up our first PlayStation console to begin with.

A new God of War game may help to pull some gamers back to the PS Vita. There has already been an announcement for God of War one and two being released for the Vita, but most have already played those games. It would be great to see them in all their remastered glory, but a new game with updated graphics, new characters and most importantly a new story should do the trick.
