Siliconera reports that this week's Famitsu confirms that SCEJ's Gravity Rush/Gravity Daze for Vita will have a demo on the 27th of this month. As well, the magazine lets it out that post-release the game will see added costumes for the game's French speaking-heroine, Kat, as well as added scenarios.

Reportedly, the game's length is 13-15 hours long. I guess we can use this thread for impressions when the demo hits.

Man, I hope this game is good. Nothing I've seen has excited me after seeing the gravity mechanic for the first time.

dallow_bg · Dec 21, 2011

I want lots of screenshots.

I hope they block the feature. don't want to be spoiled.

No one can stop you from taking HQ cam pics though!

darkressurection · Dec 21, 2011

Hey, same day I will get my import Vita in

Hope the memory card I ordered gets here before then.

RyougaSaotome · Dec 21, 2011

If the game allows for screenshots, expect a lot of them incoming from me and the other early adopters.

Played this in-store and thought it was super cool.

sixteen-bit · Dec 21, 2011

looking forward to demo impressions

Bomber Bob · Dec 21, 2011

Ive played the vita demo station demo and I have mixed feeling

Takao · Dec 27, 2011

All 3 of you who bought a Vita, it's now up on PSN but apparently it's the TGS demo. Anyways, post impressions, and screenshots.

Jonnyram · Dec 27, 2011

Just grabbed the demo and played through it.
It's quite short, but it really whet my appetite for the game.
The gravity changing is innovative and the combat is really tight.
Love the presentation too.
Day one purchase for sure. Maybe get the package version if it's purely single player.

ARGGHHH STAGGERED LAUNCHES = suck

Takao · Dec 27, 2011

While the game is PSN-only in EU, Yoshida seemingly confirmed over Twitter that it'll be receiving a retail release in North America.

Jonnyram · Dec 27, 2011

Why on earth would it be PSN only? Is it quite short, perhaps?

Donthizz# · Dec 27, 2011

please don't suck..

I have no clue why it's PSN-only in Europe. The game's length is supposed to be 13-15 hours.

They might not have the confidence that the the increased number of sales by having a retail version would not be a big enough jump to cover the cost of making such a version (boxes, printouts, cartridges, shipping). Kind of like with NISA and ClaDun in North America. If they printed out boxes and discs, they'd need more sales to cover that and it just wouldn't be worth it. With PSN-only, you don't need to sell as many. Just a theory.

I'm of the opinion that Gravity Rush is one of the marquee Vita titles, and when it doesn't get a retail release but things like Reality Fighters, and Little Deviants do I get miffed.

EhrgeizVII · Dec 27, 2011

Exactly, it makes no sense whatsoever. Reality Fighters and Little Deviants, which look like 10 dollar PSN games, get the full retail treatment while a great looking killer app like Gravity Rush doesn't. Fuck you Sony. I want my boxed game.

HamPster PamPster · Dec 27, 2011

Is PSN popular at all in Europe? They might be using Gravity Rush as a way to get people buying stuff on PSN. It might sell less in the short term but using your most interesting first party game (IMO) to get people accustomed to buying stuff digitally would pay off down the road

I mean, SCEE did release a PSP without wifi, makes me think PSN on PSP wasn't really popular there

legacyzero · Dec 27, 2011

Very impressive.

Gonna be a day 1 buy for me for sure. Cant wait.

Orodreth · Jan 7, 2012

Looks amazing. This one and Journey are my favourite upcoming games right now.

The only problem i see in the demo is the targeting may not being as responsive and precise as it should.

btw, who´s making the soundtrack? it also looks great

I believe it's one Kohei Tanaka.

Could propose a theory about SCEE and memory cards.

Keep an early, desired game PSN only = encourage bigger memory card sales.

Keep 32GB memory cards away from launch = encourage repurchases of 32GB cards when they become available later.

Jarmel · Jan 7, 2012

Kinda sucks I don't have a Japanese PSN account right now.

Thanks

Wohoo, he did the ost for Gunbuster & Diebuster, that´s why it sounded familiar to me

Takao · Jan 7, 2012

I've got a good feeling it might just be timed PSN-exclusive in EU.

iavi · Jan 7, 2012

This game is looking really good. The staggered launch window mess in the US is no fun, but I'll be grabbing this on day one. PSN.

Evolved1 · Jan 7, 2012

This is the #1 sorftware reason I'm buying the Vita.

Me too. I mean i have one but can't use it... Don't want to go through all the format bull shit either -_-. Really want to try the demo... argggggg

-MB- · Jan 7, 2012

It's great the demo is completely in English as well. I liked what I played so far, eventhough I
do think the aiming camera panning is a bit too twitchy for my liking.

Midou · Jan 7, 2012

That demo looks pretty awesome, was planning to get Hot Shots at launch and this when it comes out.
