As we ready ourselves for another strong PAX Prime showing this weekend in Seattle, developer and friend Matt Gilgenbach (24 Caret Games) has passed along word of some cool happenings for his shooter you play in reverse Retro/Grade. Specifically a high score contest “where the winners will be forever immortalized”, will be taking place during the now imminent event.

The game has been development for sometime and it really shows. Just by looking at the new screens and video, the game would appear to carry a new coat of polish since it first caught our eye at last year’s PAX-P. Exciting to get another look at it this year as it nears the end of its development. No release date yet for the upcoming PSN title, but we’re hearing “soon” thrown around quite a bit.

24 Caret will be running the high score contest all weekend, giving out plenty of swag as well as the awarding the overall winners with an everlasting spot in the game’s credits. In fact if you pre-register, you’ll end up with your own personalized ID badge as opposed to the standard card:

So if you’re heading to PAX this weekend, you already should be planning to stop by booth 6415 to get a demo of R/G. Might as well go ahead and sign-up a sweet custom card, complete with picture and call sign. Of course if you don’t, you can get a standard card and still have your shot at topping the leaderboard.

Check out the aforementioned new trailer for the game that actually begins where it ends:
