Hi all, I asked in the Upcoming Vita games thread but figured maybe you all will be able to help me pick which version to pick up:
I like the portability afforded by the Vita, however from what I understand, if I was interested in getting any DLC, its pretty difficult/a pain to switch from my US account to a Signapore account. However, the account situation should not be an issue for the PS4 version, though I lose portability.
Which option would you go with? What sort of DLC comes out, like is it just one off missions or significant content (ie new mechs, new story campaigns)? If I go Vita, will I regret missing out on the DLC? Honestly, this is my first Super Robot Wars game but I have heard great things about this series and the other titles from this company (specifically the Project X Zone games).
Thanks so much in advance!

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Since DLC is region locked to a specific account. Unless your Vita is set to said region then yes you would miss out on DLC.
Updates are not tied regionally so they can be downloaded from whatever account.
For context, there are already 20 additional DLC stages that launched with the game (https://www.famitsu.com/news/201702/22127503.html). They're one-offs with their own self-contained story/fan-service, etc.
I personally think you're better off going with the PS4 version, just because swapping accounts on the Vita is a massive pita / there's a chance they offer more significant DLC in the future (since they seem to be extra serious with it this time around). That said, there's more than enough content in the base game to ignore all of it.

PSA : If you're planning to buy all DLCs anyways, buy this instead.
It has an additional present scenario that gives a ton of shit (playable after mission one). It'd be nice for you SRW weaklings who has to upgrade units and use PP (or TacP in this game). LEL
Buying separately and buying full package results in the same price, except buying separately won't give you the extra present scenario.
Play SRW Impact then.
Then stuff Alt with 3x V-UP Unit(W).

Sadly, Might Gaine's not subbed, unless you're fine with Hong Kong bootleg engrish. But what happens in the story blew people's minds back then and was really a big meta commentary on the anime industry at the time.

Oh, weird. the PS4 DLC scenarios aren't up yet?
Might Gaine has decent subs up to 28 or so.

I thought remote play worked outside the home? I remember seeing a video of someone playing Resogun via their phone's hotspot when the PS4 first came out.
Shouta
Member
Sure, but you'd still need a strong, stable internet connection to connect to it. =P Using your phone as a hotspot for it while in transit might not be all that great.

Anyone know if the DLC in the physical version is just a first print run thing or was it preorder only? Was probably gonna order one in the next week or so, didn't realize it had 2 mechas in it.
ATXAlchemy
Member
It should be. The one I linked in my previous post says it includes PS4 content.
Not every area has ISPs that are even half-decent enough to stream your stuff for remote play.
ATXAlchemy

First print. It just lets you use them earlier.
You just get the Huckebein and Grungust earlier. They'll still show up in the main story eventually without the preorder bonus.
Shouta
Member
It only shows Vita on my end, I wonder why.
Edit: So there's a unit specific custom bonus at 50% upgrades (not including weapons) and there's a full custom bonus at 100% that you get to pick. The Yamato is really overpowered without upgrades but if I gave it a full custom bonus now, it could equip 4 parts. That's just nuts.

You're not the chosen one.

I think for a TBS game like this, you wouldn't need that great a connection to get bearable gameplay. But idk, I've never messed around with it.
I think it's a first print thing, SD Gundam G Generation Genesis had a code slip in the box for the DLC.

Ah, there it is. Too bad I only have 1800 yen left in my account, lol.
Probably won't be until towards the middle.

I spent $63 shipped from PlayAsia. That cheaper than me going to the store here in Seattle and buying a new release.

That micro-missiles animation is fantastic. Seeing all the smokes, explosions and smoke trails animated by hand brings me tears of joy.
This game has all the numbers to be one of the best SRW ever.
Really like this system. I mean, even if you can deploy all units at once because you can't pair them up, you can bench them and get a nice boost to the Ex-count just through the level-ups once you deployed them underlevelled.
Currently playing without upgrades. I started using the bonus parts but then the game got too easy. Without them the situation is more balanced: less 100% hit-rates and 0% dodge rates.
I love that they went for the regenerating seishins. Great choice.
Don't know about what he got paid but the cut-ins they showed in the Supa Robo stream were god-tier.
Mid-twenties to thirties.

Also, heads up for people with the English version.
Bandai Namco SEA has been slacking big time on the DLC for SD Gundam G Generation Genesis. We didn't get the January DLC until last week. We might have a similar situation with SRWV. Just be aware.

Silly question, can I download the dlc on a Singapore account and use it on my NA account? Sorry if this has been asked before.

Just watching a video in the OP- none of the story stuff is voiced?
distantmantra
Member
Yep!
Shouta

Some of the story stuff is voiced, mostly the important scenes. The game has a huge volume of dialogue from a wide variety of characters, so full voice over is pretty difficult to achieve in these games.

Oh god I completely forgot this was coming out already!! I won't be able to play it for months but I am ordering my copy right now.
With the amount of text in these games, the voice acting budget would go through the roof, and unlike most visual novels, most VAs in SRWs are high-end talent and/or veterans.

I can't wait until my copy gets here from P-A!

Yeah, I know... that's why I was looking forward to it (as a Yamato fan, admittedly). Oh well. I get it, but it's kind of disappointing.

Does the vita version On play-Asia have english text?
I just want to make sure before I pull the trigger...

If it's the Asian version, it should, yes.
god fuck I'm still eternally salty over Moon Dwellers getting utterly shafted in translation quality
still gotta play that before I look at this though
also not many series I'm super interested in being repped here either
as someone who learned to like SRW entirely from the OG games, the crossover games are super hit-or-miss for me, so I hope this does well, even if I've heard less than favorable things about animation quality and scenario pacing

How big is the download file? Trying to decide whether to get physical or digital
Vita is 2.8-ish gigs, PS4 is 6-ish.

Are there any comparison images of the PS4/Vita?
I played the Z series on Vita but I'm wondering if I should make the switch to PS4 if there's any issues with the Vita version for this game.

I've been playing on the Vita and I can't say I've seen anything super noticable to take me out of the experience.

How would you compare the experience compared to a PS4 SRW like Moon Dwellers?
