SHAKEDOWN HAWAII VITA PHYSICAL PC
Shakedown: Hawaii is due out for PlayStation 4, Switch, PS Vita, 3DS and PC via Steam in 2017. More on these shakedowns will be revealed in detail in a later trailer dedicated solely to their part in the game, so stay tuned! These micro missions are scattered all over the island and successfully completing them will provide you with additional streams of income. With your trusty disguise, you can also begin shaking down shops for protection money, and use that to fund your “legitimate” corporate expansion.

New opportunities will emerge as your empire branches out into new market segments. Luckily he owns a few costume shops in town.
SHAKEDOWN HAWAII VITA PHYSICAL TV
Our anti-hero’s decision to spend more time on reality TV as a “CEO” personality, than as the actual CEO of his company didn’t help matters.Įven though he’s only reached D-list celebrity status, he’s still too recognizable to go on a rampage without a disguise. The revenue they generate can then be funneled back into more acquisitions. Through story missions, small jobs and your own acquisitions, you’ll gain ownership of properties and businesses. The entire island is up for grabs… or at least, will be once you ruffle enough feathers. He’s going to own the ENTIRE island! He’ll destroy EVERY competitor! He’ll convince the world that online shopping’s a dying fad, taxis are here to stay, and dammit… get everyone renting VHS tapes again! Whatever it was, he declares that saving the company is no longer enough. Perhaps it was his rival’s taunts, or maybe he attended one too many motivational self-help seminars, or it could just be his own insecurity and over-compensation complex. Replacing the genre’s more commonly populated gangs and mobsters, are boardroom executives, formulating harebrained schemes to increase margins and boost profits.īut, whether you’re cornering the market on avocado toast or masterminding new hidden service fees, the missions ultimately unravel into the same carjacking, combat and shootouts you’d expect from the genre.Īs things begin to turn the corner, our anti-hero sets his sights even higher. He’ll need to modernize the business! Unfortunately, the modernizations he chooses are exactly those comically egregious practices! Upon discovering that online shopping’s destroyed his retail margins, ride sharing killed his taxi business, and video rental stores… are no longer actually a thing… it becomes clear that keeping the company alive will require drastic measures. You play an aging CEO, stranded in a world he no longer understands, with a company that’s now a relic of the past. Out of Retirement… to Retire the Competition It playfully satirizes business that’s so ballsy, you’ll be left saying, “I’m not even mad, that’s amazing!”. Where Retro City Rampage was a send up to video games and pop culture, Shakedown: Hawaii is a parody of mega corporations, white collar crimes, and the most comically egregious business practices that go alongside. What’s more, the game will also be available in the Wii U eShop on that day (and digitally on something called a “Play Station Three,” whatever that is).Here’s an overview of the game, via Vblank Entertainment: Yes, not only will there be a run of 3,000 standard copies of Shakedown Hawaii, but there will also be 3,000 copies of a special edition for an extra $5 that come with a digital copy of the soundtrack and a protective case/sleeve for the game box itself. The run is limited to 3,000 copies of each version. Starting August 20 at 10 AM PST, fans will be able to pick up a copy of Shakedown Hawaii in all its non-digital glory.

Shakedown: Hawaii’s Wii U physical edition arrives August 20th! But, that’s not all! It’s also coming to PlayStation 3 digitally with 3X Cross Buy (free to existing PS4/Vita owners)! Well, the time has come for another shot at physical copies of Shakedown Hawaii-on Wii U! Remember back at the start of July when developer Brian “Vblank” Provinciano announced that physical copies of Retro City Rampage and Shakedown Hawaii on Nintendo Wii would be available for purchase? It was awesome news, for sure, but the one caveat was that due to manufacturing limitations, the run of discs would be coming to European Wii owners and not those of us here in North America.
