Bradford games developer and Game Republic member Four Door Lemon has just revealed its latest project – an amazing augmented reality football game for the new PlayStation Vita portable gaming console, which launches on 22nd February in the UK. Table Football is a 3D virtual football game that purchasers of the new PlayStation Vita will be available to download for free from the PlayStation Network. The game uses the Vita’s six AR cards that come with the system to create a 3D virtual football pitch, where you can flick players around for a 21st Century version of Subbuteo!
Four Door Lemon has also enjoyed recent success with other games such as Quiz, Quiz, Quiz on iPhone.

Chris Donahue, Publisher/Developer Relations at OnLive, last week abandoned sunny Palo Alto California to visit rain-swept Leeds, and present to an audience of Game Republic companies – as well as give everyone who attended free OnLive consoles. OnLive is a games platform that exists in the cloud – a game is only ever played on the company’s massive servers, with video streamed live to your TV via the micro-console, PC and Mac – and also tablet devices.
Chris Donahue was keen to stress that as well as being a games platform, OnLive’s cloud technology could bring about brand new gaming experiences, and that the best new innovations were going to come from games developers and other entertainment companies, not OnLive itself.
