AQ Interactive has confirmed that it will be bringing the stealth action title Vampire Rain: Altered Species to the PlayStation 3 with all-new exclusive features later this year.

Developed by Artoon (Blue Dragon, Yoshi’s Island DS), the game centres on West Coast US city plagued by a powerful vampire race known as “Nightwalkers.” Players assume control of a US agent named John Lloyd, the only human being ever known to survive an encounter with the Nightwalkers, as he attempts to stop them at all costs

In addition, the immersive and lengthy single player campaign will also be supplement by a “robust” multiplayer experience.

Naoto Ìshima, President of Artoon, commented: “We are very excited to bring Vampire Rain: Altered Species to the PlayStation 3.”

"The incredible power of the PS3, will allow us to give gamers a fully immersive experience. This will include: 5.1 channel audio, over 50 hours of gameplay, extra bonus levels, a lot of completely revamped animations, character interactions and much more."

Stay tuned.

    hmm 50+ hours is rather tempting, and graphical improvments over the 360 version = win

    It's all about the LPCM lossless 7.1 surround on PS3, baby.

    psn id: gingo.... the first one on 360 got terrible reviews so i dont expect much from this although if they put even work in and truly fix it, it might be ok

    It's one thing to badly port over a good game, but it's an entirely different thing to badly port over a bad game. Why are they doing this, especially seeing how it got mangled on the 360. The PS3 has a nice ratio of good/bad games going for it, and all this will do is emphasize the bad. I wish they'd re-think this over.

    pass, anything that's not on PS3 first and comes as a port  with "added features" bs usually end badly. Im not gonna keep supporting these actions of giving to 360 first and port to PS3 later bs.

    HAHa I just looked at  screens and video of this game and it looks like someone tried to make a rip off of Metal Gear Solid, with the cone vision minni maps the look of your char, and when you geta  call it goes Beep Beep and has "CALL" in middle of the screen, lol maybe they were scared they would get sued so they threw vampires into it lol

    i was watching on youtube and it does look like a MGS-wannabe and like everyone lets comments saying it was hard and whatnot. ill wait until the reviews to buy this game or not.

    If this is an RPG, then its an automatic buy for me.

    It was very lame from what I've heard. it's going to take a LOT of reworking to make it worth while

    the first game was lame and the only reason the game is so long is becouse u have 2 move slow its almost impossible 2 kill a vampire so basically instead of shooting u find ways 2 hide

    lawl.. damn... this was one of the exclusives I mentioned on my 360 vid on youtube... well damn.  I guess the 360 doesn't have anything the ps3 doesn't...

    Will this one be as gay as the 360 version, were you can not fight the vamps what-so-ever?

    Are you people REALLY serious about this game?  This is 360 shovelware at best.  We don't need any more crap on the PS3, especially not ports of bad games.
