Nimbus+ coming to PS3, original PC game to receive enhancements

PC indie game Nimbus is coming to the PlayStation Network with enough new content to warrant its Plus moniker. But, developer Noumenon isn't ignoring the PC gamer, either.

Nimbus is a little-known indie racing-puzzle game that's managed to make a name for itself on Steam. So what's next for developer Noumenon? An enhanced port of the game for PS3.

Nimbus will arrive on PlayStation Network with new content and "improvements" that weren't finished in time for the PC version. "Exactly what these improvements will be isn't entirely set in stone yet," the developer admits. But, the PS3 version is receiving "as much additional development time as the PC version," so it's likely the changes will be quite significant. No wonder the port is also receiving a new title: Nimbus+.

But what about the game's original fans, the ones that made it a success on the PC? "The plan is to bring some of the improvements we currently have planned for Nimbus+ over to PC where possible," the developer notes. "But there's nothing decided on that end yet."

          Kinda like Uniracers for SNES meets Altitude (indie shooter game with gravity/physics). It's definitely an addicting, satisfying game for perfectionists.

            I rented Uniracers out of pure boredom, cuz I had rented just about every other game that looked cool at the time. Little did I know how awesome of a game it was

          huh? it's like a racing + puzzle game. you don't shoot things. unless you mean the shape of the ship, which you can change. some of the puzzles are really hard! i liked it a lot, it looks really good too.
