I liked the old thread title. It's like the fat kid on the playground that makes jokes about how he's fat. You can't be all, "HEY FAT KID IS FAT" because the fat kid is fat and he knows it. It's like taken off the table in terms of exploiting his insecurities. Now you will have schoolyard bullies swarming.

Just watched the Ragnarok Odyssey trailer that andriasang posted:
http://andriasang.com/comzcc/ragnarok_odyssey_trailer/
Didn't realise the music was by Kumi Tanioka :O
Suddenly quite interested in this. But somewhat apprehensive as it's GungHo.
Is it real, real Game Arts developing it? Or are they abusing the name?

That's what i thought was weird.
I'm not sure. Didn't Game Arts also develop that 2D Ragnarok RPG that was released a few months back on PSP?
Then why does that "I need a PC" thread have the |OT| marking? |OT2| to boot.
Meh, whatever. At least we still have the chalkboard....at least until people are complaining about it enough.
The Elite
BOSS
Yeah, this is about as OT as OT's get.
Makes sense.
I actually like the fast paced gameplay of this. Could lead to some really interesting co op games if done right.

Curious how many people that just picked up a 3ds have the cash for a vita this weekend over there.
Do people wait in lines for days in a japan aka hire a hobo to wait for you?
And ewwww bilinear filtering... That makes games look better???

It's bilinear filtering on the textures, so yes it does. The polys are all upscaled properly. No idea how sprite-based games will look though, that could be rough on the eyes.
Too bad it doesn't have online multiplayer and the gameplay itself seems kind of shallow.

I saw your play impressions and was disappointed as I am really looking forward to this one. Hoping that it ends up turning out well.
If it turns out that the retail version is actually good (has tons of content etc.) I'll probably buy it, because I'm (or rather was) a huge Ragnarok Online fan.
I'm not too fussed about the lack of native online MP, because hopefully Sony's ad hoc party will be compatible with the vita once ragnarok hits, but the shallow gameplay is a concern =(
!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks like it'd be interesting in single player too, I'm actually interested. It looks like a Game Arts game despite being real time, I doubt they're just using the name.
Don't think so.

Dengeki is doing their special issue, arent they?
I mean not like it's worth listening to both of those publication's reviews anyway.
No Famitsu reviews for Vita games!? Oh God...I...I don't know what to even think anymore! How will I choose games!?
Given this is Famitsu, Sony could've given them some much needed advertising revenue and have 10s across the board.
Looked it up, and you're right. It was Apollo Soft who did the RPG.
Amazon's site is weird right now, if you keep refreshing the page for each Vita sku you will eventually see a preorder link from Amazon (instead of a third party scalper) show up, but I have no idea if you can actually place a preorder at this point.
They are both the same publisher now too lol
DCharlie
And even i am moderately surprised
well, that wasn't the point - i'm a long term ignorer of anything Famitsu has to say but their value as a review source to -anyone- surely goes straight in the shitter if they can't review a set of launch games.
I just want to reinforce what a useless pile of shit the mag is.
Yeah, if Steam, Android, iOS, and deal threads can have OTs, then I can't see why for the life of me this one doesn't.
Anywho, seeing as I won't be getting a Vita any time soon (certainly not importing, and doubtful I'll have the cash at the NA launch aside for it), I am very interested in the launch figures for Japan.
Specifically due to the whole MoHun releasing on 3DS a week prior to Vita, it is simply something I find curious (I have thought since TGS that perhaps Sony should have moved the Vita up to ship earlier by a couple of weeks, but perhaps said thoughts were unnecessary).

Went to yodobashi and played a little with the demo unit.
Hardware is cool, a little huge but cool nonetheless.
Gravity Daze was stunning but I'm still not sold on the gameplay. Looking foreword to play the final build.

Not sure if this has been asked, if someone can answer, I'd appreciate it!

I know that Vita media will be region free. But can you change the internal settings to different languages? Also, does anyone know if by doing that it enables some games to be in English? ie Uncharted, etc.
Thx.

And then the fat kid picks up the skinny bully and slams him on the ground?
There was an exact video like that.
I believe so, but it won't enable games to be in English. Game would need to have English as an option ie Uncharted. Whereas the Japanese Tales of Innocence for Vita likely won't have an English language option, so unless you know Japanese importing the game would be pointless.
Uncharted has English, yes. Pretty sure the hardware will let you switch. It's Sony, after all.

As far as I know only the asian version of Uncharted supports English.

How many units are they putting out there? Didn't see it mentioned in the OP.
I'm arriving in Tokyo on Thursday. Hope I don't have any trouble buying one this weekend. Need to pickup a few WiFi ones
You might be in trouble, I heard from a store manager that the Wifi shipments will be far less than the 3G ones. It depends whether or not people line up I guess, if you can find the right small shop to go to they might have a small shipment to put on sale for the people lining up without preorders, but I would guess the amount of Wifi models would be less than 20. Just guessing.

Yeah the screen was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS
Yeah, but because the quality resembles iPhone's screen so much I was under the impression that I'm playing smartphone games the whole time.
But will it be delivered on Saturday is the question.

I actually got the smartphone vibe from the touchscreen, but playing with 2 analog is soooooo good.
The one I order said "Delivered by 18-20", and I wont be in Tokyo until end of the month, so it's a non-issue.
Would be a nice alternative for those who don't really want to line up and ensure themselves with a unit in a few days.
Just trying to help man.
Those will get removed too. Thank you for reporting them.
You misunderstood me, it's great that you wrote this - I even considered getting my Vita of Amazon instead of local store (you can save a few k yen on all the stuff combined if you buy from Amazon), but it's just not for me.
What? If you get rid of the The iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch Gaming |OT3| thread, the amount of iOS related threads that will show up instead will be even worse.
Who said anything about getting rid of threads? This thread is still here right?
