Hustle Kings: Breaking News…

Countries: , , , ,

For all of you Hustle Kings out there we have two great bits of news for you.

Firstly on the 19th of May at around 5pm a new patch will be made available which contains the following features and changes:

  • Improved Breaking : the pack has now been adjusted so that instead of the rack being perfectly spaced every time, a very slight variance has been introduced between the balls which causes almost every break to be different
  • You can now replay the shots that are played in attract mode
  • Even more stats during loading screens
  • Game options can be modified in online rooms
  • Watch other people’s matches in the all new Spectator Mode!
  • Plus a new loading icon, viewing player’s profiles during an online match and more

But that’s not all, there is a brand new chalk coming to the in-game store. Second Sight allows you to see the path of an additional ball… really helpful on those tough trickshots and plants.

Snooker_14

Finally (and the best bit in my opinion) is that the Hustle Kings Snooker pack will be launched on the 2nd of June. Included in this great pack is a brand new environment, new ball set, with the full snooker rules and scoring. As well as normal snooker if you get this pack you will also get an offline tournament mode, more music and a brand new game mode called Snooker6 where there are only 6 red balls allowing for a much quicker game.

Snooker_27 Snooker_01

Once you get the Snooker Pack there will also be a batch of new trophies, for you to try and unlock, to help with this we have included a free pack of Eagle Eye chalk if you purchase the Snooker pack! Overall I have really enjoyed the time I have spent playing snooker and can’t wait to get online to pit my wits against the rest of the community!

Win a 46” Bravia HDTV by clearing 9-balls!

Sony Bravia

Exciting news, Hustle Kings! PlayStation EU and Bravia are giving you the opportunity to win a fantastic 46” Bravia EX703 HDTV or, for the runners up, € 50 to spend on PSN simply by serving up a ‘perfect’ 9-ball pool match on Hustle Kings!

Hustle Kings

Hustle Kings Hustle Kings

All you need to do to enter is clear all of the balls in a 9 ball match in one run from the break (which isn’t so difficult, especially with the ‘pro tips’ below ;-) ).

Clear up in superb style and, if you set the highest score, Bravia will maximize your high-def PlayStation experience with a 46″ Full HDTV!

The four runners-up will receive a PSN wallet top-up of € 50 too, so even if you just miss out on the HDTV your super-sharp skills will be rewarded.

How to get involved:

Step 1: Set up a Standard 9-ball match.

Step 2: Break and win the match by clearing up all 9 balls in your visit to the table (so that your opponent never takes a shot!).

Step 3: When the match results are shown, save your replay (by pressing square).

Step 4: Upload the entire replay video to YouTube, from ‘Match Replays’ in your ‘Profile’.

Step 5: Send the weblink for the youtube video, strictly following this template, in a private message to “Hustle_Kings9” on the EU PlayStation forum.

Make sure to read the finer details so that your Hustle King entries will qualify and good luck!

Pro Tips:

  • There’s no limit to the number of entries you can submit!
  • Any 9-ball match with any settings can be used so create a game suited to your preferences and your level of skill: remember that only the bonus HKC earned in the match will count!
  • Whether you make it easier for yourself by using the longest aiming lines, or you really push your skills and perform this without any aiming lines at all is entirely up to you – it doesn’t affect your score.
  • Maximize every opportunity to increase your bonus for each and every shot! Look to use the cushions for easy multipliers, and remember that the longer your run is the more points you’ll earn for sinking each ball.
  • Keep in mind that for the highest scores you’ll want to try the most audacious shots! Get to grips with advanced techniques like swerving and jumping to score the really big HKC combos.

Hi, my name is Robert Karp and I am here to give you latest news on Hustle Kings.

Over the last year VooFoo studios and Sony have been combining their skills with some good old fashioned elbow grease to help make Hustle Kings the best. We have been packing in as many features as possible, whilst at the same time adding so much polish that you can almost see your own face! Check out these balls if don’t believe me.

There has been a lot of discussion internally about how we can do something a little different with the trophy system and we finally decided to make one of the silver trophies a little bit different from the rest… This trophy can only be unlocked by playing online and beating someone else who already has it – Sounds simply enough? Now the best part is that the developers are the only ones who will start with it and that means the only way to get it is by beating them at their own game!

Now to bit that I hope you’ve all been waiting for… (Drum roll please)

Release date: 22nd of December 2009 (That’s today!)
Price: £6.29 (€7.99)

If you’re a fan of turning your skills into (virtual) cash, then Hustle Kings is for you. With graphics, a physics engine, a whole host of offline game modes including (but not limited to) career, trick shots, local tournaments, as well as an online hustle mode and topped off with an intuitive control method. Sometimes when I’m at the pub playing pool, I think to myself… “I wish I could be playing Hustle Kings right now!”

We have tried to take advantage of everything the PS3 has to offer, so we’ve included XMB music (although I’d questions anyone’s taste who doesn’t like the eclectic mix we have on offer), uploading videos to you tube (to show off your greatest jump and swerve shots) and much more. Are your ready for the total pool experience?

Hustle Kings will be available exclusively on the PlayStation Store, so if you haven’t already signed up to for a PSN ID, you’d better do so now!
