Blasto returns ... in trademark form

Posted Oct 29th 2007 5:00PM by Andrew Yoon
Filed under: News

A long-forgotten PS1-era "franchise" may be making a return to the PS3. Blasto has been spotted in the US Patents & Trademarks Office database. The filing comes from Sony Computer Entertainment America and was filed just six days ago, October 23rd. Interestingly, there appears to be some kind of online element to the game, as described by the listing: "OPERATING A REAL-TIME GAME FOR OTHERS OVER GLOBAL AND LOCAL AREA COMPUTER NETWORKS."

What will this Blasto trademark lead to? A brand new online game? Or just a re-release of the PS1 classic? It's hard to tell right now, but considering how poorly received the original game was, we'd much prefer a new game.

[Thanks, Joe!]

6. They should do something so ridiculous that it is a video game of equivalent of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law.

7. "They should do something so ridiculous that it is a video game of equivalent of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law."

What would be even cooler is if they made a Harvey Birdman game. Someone should tell Capcom to get on it!
