Dragon's crown site updated, and has some new information about multiplay

Basically, both PS3 and Vita version supports online mulitplay using PSN account.

PS3 and Vita version have cross-save features, but it does not support cross-online multiplay between PS3 and Vita.

For online play there is random matching system where they match you with someone who have similar level as you.

edit: please take out not in the title.

I hope that doesn't mean not lobby system with friends.

why no cross play? wouldn't that be cheaper for them in the long run no need to maintain 2 different server?

maybe it was technically difficult for them?

Retro_ · Mar 25, 2013

Well....that's ok I guess if there's 4 player local play...

Was hoping my lil bro could play with his character on his vita while I'm on the PS3 with other brothers

I guess that's fine if he can just import his character to PS3. Just need more controllers now :/

A little worried about the feature set of this game at the moment....

GotchaForce · Mar 25, 2013

Wasn't this initially announced as a YOPO game (the first iirc)? Is it still?

GraveRobberX · Mar 25, 2013

Fuck better not be 1 Trophy List Atlus, I want Double Platinums!

mocolostrocolos · Mar 25, 2013

Any word on crossbuy?

Sophia · Mar 25, 2013

No cross-play basically means "Why buy the Vita version?"

PS3 version will almost certainly have more players on it. :\

Bombless · Mar 25, 2013

I hope it's not just random matchmaking...and no crossplay..that sucks for Vita owners.

No, and no.

Ignition had set the MSRP for both versions at $30. When Atlus took over they laughed at that price, said it was impossible, and right now are charging over $80 for each version in Japan.

I'm going with the Vita version regardless. I'd rather have this in untethered portable form.

Muchi Muchi Pink · Mar 25, 2013

So, no lobbies?

Victrix · Mar 25, 2013

Weird - wonder what the technical issues behind that are.

suzu · Mar 25, 2013

That sucks.

I assume there will there be 4P local co-op.

Wonko_C · Mar 25, 2013

This makes my choice easier. Vita version it is, then.

darkside31337 · Mar 25, 2013

Honestly this makes me lose a ton of interest in buying it at all.

If they want to charge a full retail price at the game I don't think its unreasonable to actually expect a full feature set here and this game is failing on multiple fronts.

erpg · Mar 25, 2013

I'm okay with this. I don't think any of the people I know were planning on getting the PS3 version. Three have had the Vita version pre ordered since last year.

As long as there's ad hoc, I'm golden.

TONX · Mar 25, 2013

Dammit. I was looking forward to playing this on my Vita with friends on the PS3. Guess i'll just get it on PS3 then.

2+2=5 · Mar 25, 2013

Vita for me anyway.

nailbombxx · Mar 25, 2013

This is one game where I hope there is cross-buy.

MoxManiac · Mar 25, 2013

That amazon chick's buttcheeks are terrifying.

Labadal · Mar 25, 2013

What? Why? No reason for me to buy both versions anymore. Now I'll have to decide wich version to get. Most likely the PS3 version since it also offers offline play.

Pai Pai Master · Mar 25, 2013

Guess I'm waiting for a huge sale on the Vita version then.

Hope you're ready to be disappointed!

LProtag · Mar 25, 2013

Aw, man. Oh well. I'll probably just get the PS3 version then. Depends on the pricing.

darkwing · Mar 25, 2013

doesn't really matter, Vita version for me

This is what's important. Online play on a handheld is worthless anyway.

Atolm · Mar 25, 2013

Buying both versions day 1 here.

djplaeskool · Mar 25, 2013

Buying both, regardless of cross-buy availability.
That's how hyped I am.

Jinfash · Mar 25, 2013

I thought cross play was advertised in the past? Either way, this unfortunately will derail my plans, now I'll have to wait ans see what version people are mostly getting.

Hmm... I thought 4gamer listed that 8190¥ gives you both copies (well, that's what I read from duckroll's post: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=50933037&postcount=77)?

CaptainTiptop · Mar 25, 2013

Was hoping it would be cross-play and cross-buy.

Gonna have a hard time choosing between PS3 and Vita now. Blah, maybe I'll get both anyway.

erpg · Mar 25, 2013

I'm not sure why anyone would expect cross buy on a game that isn't being published by Sony. Is this a 2D stigma or something?

You and me both

Takao · Mar 25, 2013

Man, it means little but the trailer for this game got over 400,000 views in four days. That's better than every SMT IV trailer ...

I can live with no cross buy but it's a shame that it'll not be cross play.

Mugy · Mar 25, 2013

I'm sold just by the 4 players co-op.

More of a Vita stigma than anything. (if any two games are identical on console and on vita, and there's no cross buy, I'm not getting the Vita version)

and also the persistent character building aspect. Games like that make owning on both versions really appealing. So I think it'd be a missed opportunity if there wasn't some kind of discount for buying both as an incentive for more people to buy both versions.(Like Amazon's 20 dollars off when you bought MH3 for Wii-U and 3DS.)

No clue how Japan's market will take to both version being full price, but that shit won't fly in the US

K.Jack · Mar 25, 2013

Damn no cross play is extremely disappointing. I'd just been assuming it was a given.

GraveRobberX · Mar 25, 2013

Give an awesome Collector's Edition

$99.99 gets you PS3 + Vita + Goodies (Art book/Soundtrack, Poster, Maybe all characters as litho (small ones)

antibolo · Apr 24, 2013

Is multiplayer really that much of an essential aspect of this game?

I plan on getting the Vita version and just playing alone. I doubt I'll convince any of my RL friends to buy it and play online, and I don't care much for playing games with random Internet strangers. Will I be making a terrible mistake?

If you've enjoyed other beat 'em ups in single player, then I don't see why you wouldn't enjoy this since it's supposed to have a lot more depth to it.

SuicidalSteve · Apr 24, 2013

When is this out?

Drager · Apr 24, 2013

August 4th in North America

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
