Great scores. I may end up grabbing this on day one instead of waiting for a price drop. Want to support high quality, unique titles like this.

Thanks, glad you liked it!
Hope you enjoy the game as much as I did.
It does. I played the demo when it released in Japan and was a little bit disappointed with how it ran, but the final game is much smoother. I don't recall encountering any hiccups at all, though I did play on the PS4 Pro so keep that in mind.
indeed the game runs fine on the Pro.

I'm on mobile at the moment but ps access has a new video on gravity rush 2

It's pretty neat how you go from one city to another

Eh I'm gonna stay away from that video, don't wanna see the whole map at this point when the game is so close and I know I'm buying.

To me, that's what I like about Sony. They generally will let their studios make what they want to make to a certain extent, even if it's not going to be a huge commercial success. We all know Dreams will bomb when it comes out, but they're going to let Media Molecule make it nonetheless.
I guess it's just me but I really hate how people just generalize plots like oh it's anime like. Maybe I don't watch enough anime but When ever I here that phrase it's like "oh umm so it's somewhere between Naruto and Monster? Maybe they mean it's trippy like Paranoia Agent? I dunno if they mean it's like some genieric shonen hero stuff or its just random twists out of nowhere like some bad anime I've seen(nothing like the ones mentioned). So can people some one clarify for me, does anime like = shonen hero bs? Like
or is it something else?

Glad for the great reception GR2 is getting. Now to just wait for my copy.

Gaming needs individual games like this. Reminds me of the good old Gamecube/Ps2 era when everything was allowed.
We've been stuck with story driven AAA games that almost play themselves for too long. It's just nice to see the balance again. If you can call this an AA game, I'm all for it. We have games like Last Guardian, Nier Automata and Gravity Rush 2 now...I love it!

When will the DF analysis be dropping ? I'm curious to find out how the Pro benefits - an upped resolution is the hope.
4k on Pro
Native or checkerboard ?

That's the charm!
The review letter just mentions that the game supports 4k on Pro.. I only have a 1080p set myself though.

Good scores. I don't know what to get first between RE7, GR2 and Yakuza 0.
Does it support supersampling on 1080p TVs?

I'll have a performance video out very soon (working on it now)
I'll have the details on Pro support as well as performance there, at the very least.
ETA if possible ?

Yeah, the main story took me 20 hours to beat, and I'm 30 hours in now with lots more left to do. It's a massive game.

Solid reviews. Was worried that the controls would be too fussy for most reviewers to enjoy it and though some had complaints it seems they were still able to enjoy it.
Personally I always felt that the controls and combat of Gravity Rush either clicks with you or it can seem like you are fighting it for the better part of the game.

nice to hear it's a massive game, are the side missions/quests just fluff? or are they meaty?

Wow great to hear about it being lengthy, been looking for a game to really sink my teeth into so might pick up soon.

Hell yeah! Can't wait! Dream sequel.
the ones I have played are pretty detailed.. they give some additional story to the game, and the are pretty varied ..

Like Hanmik said, they're pretty good. They repurpose the systems from the main game in interesting ways (one sees you marketing ice cream, while another is basically tower defence). Some of them are obviously better than others, but the game always writes interesting scenarios around them, which was enough to make me want to see as many as I had time to before writing the review, and I'll be going back to clean up the ones I missed.
They're vastly superior to the side-quests in a game like Final Fantasy XV for example. They're not just fetch quests.
EDIT: Without meaning to sound like a shill, it's worth remembering there's free DLC on the way, too. So you're getting a LOT of Gravity Rush for your money here.

Very nice! I enjoyed the first one (I'd call it a 7/10) and got this pre-ordered.
20 hours to finish the main story seems pretty on point.

Kotaku said some worrying stuff in their review though.
Shitty stealth missions and racing missions with cheating opponents plus, checkpoint seems to be inconsistent (said he lost 10-15 mins of game progress these things can make me quit a game, hopefully, it won't be as bad as the reviewer said.
I guess I'll find out next week.

Doubt it would be native 4K on this game too demanding. The cities so dense lots of NPC etcetc if it wants to remain stable performance has to be checkboarded
Cool.
Really does sound like a huge leap in quality from the first game, like an Uncharted 1 -> 2 kinda thing here. Looking forward to getting this a little bit down the road.

I was probably going to skip this since I never played the first game but all these great reviews are starting to convince me to pick this one up!
