A newly announced co-op mode may make it even harder to control Octodad--and will undoubtedly result in even more laughs.
New Octodad 2 trailer released today to celebrate the news that it'll debut on PC and Mac on January 30.
How does an octopus manage to marry a human lady? The issue, it turns out, is simple logistics: can he get dressed and get down the aisle? A new Octodad: Dadliest Catch gameplay trailer shows the boneless father wrestling with formal wear on his wedding day and the fact that he's, you know, an octopus is barely a passing concern.
It turns out that just about anything can be funny if you make a giant octopus do it, as I found out when I went hands-on with Octodad: Dadliest Catch a second time at this year's IndieCade.
If Octodad movements still feel a little too conventional for controller users, Young Horses wants to introduce motion control to the equation, announcing PS Move support for the upcoming Dadliest Catch.
Octodad: Dadliest Catch was among the many indie titles revealed for PS4, so I went hands-on with it and relived Octodad's wedding day.
Octodad made a splash when it launched in 2010, establishing itself as gaming's premiere tentacled domestic bliss simulator. The commercial sequel has now been unveiled as Octodad: Dadliest Catch, due on PC in 2013. Check out the first trailer.
In this week's picks include the photo-based adventure game TRAUMA, interviews with Octodad 2 developers Young Horses, Cold Beam Games, and more.
Octodad 2 development moves forward as the indie developer behind it surpasses its $20,000 Kickstarter goal to help finance the project.
