This almost makes me want there to be some kind of trap escape room with a character strapped to a dental chair where the decision game outcome goes horribly wrong.

Price should be about £34.99 right? Not entirely sure of price conversion rates from AU

Finally, finally almost here?
I almost can't believe it.
Mixed feelings about that title. Could turn some people off, it's not like buying the older games is easy and affordable for most people.
But that's more a problem for game & developers of course, I don't think missing out is apt too, considering the series in question (having not played ZTD of course. I don't know if it is good about it or not).
They should include a sizeable summary as an optional read / catch up.

Amazon, you and me are going to a play a game. A waiting game. The patience of you, me, and the human race hang in the balance.

You can get the first two games for $50 total. $30 if you get VLR digitally. Less when the Steam ports release.
If somebody is willing to drop $40 for this they can definitely afford to play the series in proper order. ZTD won't go anywhere.

One day I'll learn my lesson and never pre-order from Amazon. The most incompetent fucks in the world when it comes to pre-ordering anything.
Looks like Best Buy's sold out too, so I guess I gotta go digital until it gets cheap physical.

Haha, nice. That's some dedication.

Well, it took an extra two years, but pretty much thanks to our fandom's support of the series this game finally exists. I hate it when journalists talk about how companies literally only care about the bottom line when we were able to get this game out of a Japanese company who mostly only care about their domestic audience. I think it's a feat, and I'm happy that the fans and the creators finally get to see a great duo series become the trilogy it was meant to be.
And wow, OT is already on page 5 halfway into Monday. Didn't expect that kind of excitement for this game. I haven't been following as much after the game got announced.

Wish I had your luck. I don't think they've ever brought me the game once on the same day it's released.
Well actually, they brought me Evil Within at 9 PM on the same day. So thanks for that Amazon.
They should send the game out separate. I have yet to get tracking info or a delivery date, but it seems the little bar moved and says career info should be up soon. I think I could wait a day or two, but that's about it before I just drop another $40 on a digital copy.

Kinda cool we're all getting it at around the same time. Just hope the Canadian postal strike doesn't affect the game's arrival too much, or else I'm pulling an Eric and having a meltdown like on the cover.
The Aksys rep on Twitter made it sound like the watches were damaged and should be remade to send in early August, but will have the games out in a few days. Also the watches will ship with an extra bonus for being late.

cross-post from review thread
Suggestive Gaming made a 11min summary video of 999&VLR, I think it's the best summary so far. Check it out if you want to get caught up before playing ZTD!

Extremely hyped. Loved the OP.
Now I return to my media blackout of this game until it is in my hands.

Oh, crap.Gotta try that when I get back from workI totally forgot about those! I wish notes were included as items as well as entries in the log, at least for the duration of the room.
Nope. Still not getting it. I've already
done the separating/mixing liquids stuff
a knife I used to cut the pillow, the pills, blue/white/red/yellow liquids (the latter two I combined into an orange liquid), and the tray with the message
I think I know what I'm supposed to do with the puzzle:
I need to free the pig, then insert the canister and rearrange them in the correct order
Edit: Damn it. I'm an idiot. I got it

HOLY SHIT. The Vita game imported from Canada is already in the UK when it only got dispatched Friday. Fooking hell, I may very well have this game tomorrow, after all. Yippee! One of my most anticipated games in a long time. Keep this up, postal service.

I can't believe this is tomorrow! I haven't read the review thread, and have only read the FAQ in the OT. I have no idea what to expect yet I am extremely hyped! I hope PSTV plays with no problems. VLR was purr-fectly fine on it once I got the analogs set to input touch properly.
I wonder if I will do all the puzzles without cheating though. I was OK for some in 999 and VLR but after a while I was playing to find out what would happen next. Still, always gave it the college try when I first encounter puzzles.

Don't suppose we have an idea of when the EU PSN version might become available?
But you're right really, I just wish it was more available for folks.
Hopefully a PC version of both will save the day.
999 never came out in Europe, not everyone can easily import.

I went with the PSN version, you can PM me if you have a Vita and want to give it a try.

Not a bad summary. It cuts a ton of the nitty-gritty details, but it provides a nice baseline understanding of the core plot.
I still would've recommended people playing through the two games, though, as your attachment to the returning characters is going to play a big role in the finale, I imagine.
You can now listen to the soundtrack on YT

That's a LOT more tracks than I thought there would be after what people were saying and the trailer reusing music from past games. Looking forward to the OST release even more now too.
Shinji Hosoe, man. Not many game composers out there left like him.
Didn't expect such an extensive soundtrack either. Hope they release it on itunes.
Kagari's review went into more detail about the soundtrack, she said that the remixed songs are used for the 2 teams of returning participants and the new songs play during scenes with the team of newcomers. I think that's a really nice touch by Hosoe.

Great OT! Let's all hope that Amazon hurries the fuck up and finally dispatches all the copies
Btw, where can I get a fancy Zero hat and mask for my Diddy Avatar?

Looking at the track list there though, they only mentioned a few remixed tracks, like 70% of it looks like original BGM. This series has really addictive music to listen to. Some of Hosoe's best work in his almost 30 years in the industry (up there with his work on Ridge Racer, Street Fighter EX3 and Tekken 2, imo). Guy is a legend.
I'm almost as excited for the BGM as I am for the game itself, honestly, lol (excited to hear those remixes). Wonder if he got any of his colleagues to work on this one with him (Ayako Saso/Takayuki Aihara, Sanodg etc)?

So I'm refreshing my 999 and VLR memories right now, is there a list of the main questions going in to ZTD? Right now all I can think of is
edit: wait, the PC release is a day late? FML
the identity of Brother, and obviously WTF is happening in cliffhanger from VLR
