PSN, XBLA: Capcom Announce 'Flock' For PSN And XBLA

IGN have got the scoop on Capcom's latest downloadable title! It's not a Backbone remake - it's 'Flock'! An original title from 'Proper Games'.

What is 'Flock'? It's a 3D, isometric puzzle game where you control a Flying Saucer, attempting to lead Sheep, Pigs, Chickens and all sorts of other animals back to your ship!

By using your UFO, you can manipulate where the animals move to. Special animals and land characteristics can change the way they think in order to solve a puzzle.

An example used in the above video shows a lady Sheep (or ewe if you want to be technical) popping down and making all the other sheep to follow her in a little love daze. Another was to get the sheep wet, making their wool shrink, allowing them to get past a gate.

Reminds me a little bit like Lemmings in a new perspective, and a little bit of Pikmin. It will have 50 stages in total, a looks ripe for downloadable content too.

Check out the whole preview below. Looks like a ton of fun. Cooperative play too!
