- Earlier this week, the man, the legend, the Donut Master?, Mike Ducarme announced via the PlayStation Blog that Just Shapes and Beats: Hardcore Edition is debuting on PS4. At PAX East 2019, we had the opportunity to experience Just Shapes & Beats on the Nintendo Switch. Per Andrew’s Recommendation, we took the opportunity to see the musical mayhem first hand. Last year, we had the opportunity to review Just Shapes and Beats and Interview Mike Ducarme. If you are interested in reading either of those you can click the previous two links, otherwise, let’s jump into the news.
Starting off the announcement, Mike excitedly announced,
“Hey dudes, I’m Mike from Berzerk and I’m super stoked to let ya’ll know that Just Shapes & Beats is finally coming to PS4 on May 10, so that’s like, in four days? Five if you count today? ANYWAY, m u c h e x c i t e !
You thought I was going to tell you it’s some kind of narrative driven experience, a coming of age story revolving around a young underprivileged teen overcoming incredible odds in the face of insurmountable adversity? A game that makes you think about the meaning of life and our place in the universe?
No. It’s a game about shapes, and about beats.”
For those who have never had the opportunity to play Just Shapes and Beats, God you are missing out! The game reminds you of why you fell in love with gaming in the first place and rekindles that passion. The games simplistic art style colliding with a musical overture that will potentially turn you into a DJ or Raver.
Just Shape and Beats: Hardcore Edition introduces Hardcore Mode to the game. For those prone to epileptic seizures, this game is not for you! Especially the Hardcore Mode! The PlayStation 4 release includes a killer Just Shapes and Beats Theme all for the low cost of $19.99.
