TINY METAL, the Advance Wars-style turn-based strategy game, runs at native 4K and 60FPS on PS4 Pro and 1080P@30FPS on Nintendo Switch hardware (docked mode). HDR support will be added on PS4 and PC after launch.
The developers also confirmed they have no current plans to release the game on Xbox One.
Sony’s publishing label Unties and developer Area35 today announced that Tiny Metal has dispatched its competitive online multiplayer mode on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Steam via a free update.
Sony-owned Korea-based indie studio "Unties" has announced its PAX West game line-up along with some publishing deals.
Ummm, does indie mean something different now? Cause if Sony owns them, than aren't they no longer an indie studio?
Lmao all comments here are wrong, Unties is owned by Sony Music. Unties publishes games by indie studios not owned by Sony, which is why they are 'indie'. Because Unties is not owned by Sony Computer Entertainment, it therefore doesn't need to publish exclusive Playstation games.
Although Tiny Metal was released last December, along the way a former AREA 35 employee - who worked as a PR Manager on the game - issued a statement accusing the Yura of embezzling funds from Project Phoenix's crowdfunding to produce it.
In the latest update, the issue has now been resolved in mediation court in Japan. The former employee who made the accusations has now retracted the statement made about the Tiny Metal team using money from the Project Phoenix Kickstarter campaign to fund the game's development.
Been waiting for this. Just hope Switch frame rate is stable
Looks decent, plus another game that is clearly getting the switch live without the need for the shiniest of graphics
Be interesting to see how well it runs on Switch. Good that they've really worked on the PS4 pro version, upping it to 60fps on 4K.
Come on, we can't get the Switch version up to 60fps? Not that it matters that much in a strategy game like this.
Should people be impressed by the native 4K/60 fps ?
