At the time though, a lot of online PS3 games were more serious shooters, racing games, and fighting games – to put things into perspective, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, Resistance 2, and Street Fighter IV had released the year prior. These days we have a lot of quirky indie/small scale online multiplayer games – Ultimate Chicken Horse, Duck Game, Gang Beasts, etc. In comparison, the biggest downloadable titles on PS3 before the release of Fat Princess were probably Everyday Shooter, Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty, Flower, and PAIN (PAIN was packaged with some PS3s), though Battlefield 1943 did release a few weeks before Fat Princess (both were July 2009). For many, Fat Princess may very well have been their first downloadable title on the console – many of the big indie games at the time were PC/Xbox 360 only, like Braid, Castle Crashers, N+, and World of Goo (World of Goo was PC/Wii only). At the time, there was a clear divide between AA/AAA retail games and downloadable indie/small scale titles. Unfortunately there’s no hint of any kind of a sequel, but I’d like to recognize the original for being a unique and feature-rich early downloadable PS3 game: I’m going to give a brief overview of the game and its place in the market in 2009.įat Princess is a 16v16 team-based capture the flag-type game that first released in 2009 as a $15 downloadable title exclusively for the PS3. Fat Princess did receive a follow-up spinoff in the form of a Diablo-esque top-down action adventure game in 2015, but reception for the game was middling, and Fat Princess has since seemed to taper off from Sony’s marketing. Fat Princess was also a playable character in 2012’s PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, which is interesting since in the actual Fat Princess you play as the soldiers and workers protecting her. It was a fun and unique title commissioned by Sony and still hasn’t been replicated in any game I’ve played. Fat Princess was a small scale title published by Sony Computer Entertainment and developed by Titan Studios, who went defunct in 2011 after only releasing Fat Princess on Jand its PSP version in 2010, Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake.
