god i really hope this sells well.

Don't hold your breath, I think it looks great personally but sadly the casuals/dudebros will not be interested. Also the limited Vita market saturation will hurt its sales.

[kuroshiki]

100k however, is definitely possible. I'm buying 2.

[SomewhatGroovy]

Nothing to do expect missions, challenges, collectables and exploration...

Yep. and you don't need an open world to do any of those things. that's the problem.

Do the dudebros even know what a Vita is?

[Himself]

Do the dudebros even know what a Vita is?

He'll yeah bro i saw this thing on YouTube of them playing Battlefield 3 on it bro it was SICK! I heard here's gonna be a new calluhduty and grand theft auto too! Is grand theft auto the one where you get to kill hookers and shit bro? I love that fucking game dude! Killing hookers, running over old people and shit.

[RyougaSaotome]

Wait, IGN called it a lite JRPG? Really? That's not even remotely true. The game has a basic level up system for abilities, but that's it. This is not a JRPG and nobody should go in expecting that.

Played the game from beginning to end and it's currently my top runner for game of the year. The gravity mechanics alone made the simple act of moving fun. As if that weren't enough, the rest of the game is just charming as all fuck. Kat is the best. <3

Also the soundtrack is fantastic and still gets looped on iTunes whenever I'm working.

I think Shidoshi's review gets it best, honestly.

The best praise I can give the game is that the moment I finished it, I wanted to pick it back up again and play through the whole bloody thing.

I cannot stand Greg Miller's voice and general tone, i don't know why i torture myself and watch his reviews.

We call that 'love'.

[EhrgeizVII]

What's the best gameplay videos I should be watching? I know next to nothing about the game, and my Vita is the most dormant system I've ever owned. Open to some experiments.

This one! It's direct feed and awesome.

[Krev]

Looked at the thread title, thought 'it's going to be underrated'...yep.
There's certain games that you just know certain parts of the western gaming press aren't going to respond to, no matter how good they are.

[Skilletor]

Are the people saying it's not reviewing well only paying attention to the two reviews and ignoring every other review listed? I'd say it's reviewing extremely well.

[yencid]

If an 86 in metracritic is a bad score we are fucking screwed. Golden abyss which was also a great game has a MC score of 80.

[Koroviev]

It is.

[SomewhatGroovy]

I get if you disagree with a review having had played the import but to just outright bash someone's opinion of the game without having touched said game yourself is a bit ridiculous.

With that said, i hope you guys enjoy.

[we.are.the.armada]

Hell yes! Did it review well in JP too?

[RyougaSaotome]

Extremely well. That doesn't say all that much, but still.

[lantus]

Agh can't wait for this and Metal Gear next month! My Vita will finally be getting some love again. :)

[chickdigger802]

Wasn't planning on picking this up, but with mario tennis not looking that hot, i'll probably move that money over to get this.

[kuroshiki]

Can anyone confirm whether US PSN is getting limited time DLC offer like EU?

Because otherwise I'll getting one from amazon.

[chickdigger802]

how is the dub?

And with the whole gravity thingy... how shit is the camera?

[Ardenyal]

If an 86 in metracritic is a bad score we are fucking screwed. Golden abyss which was also a great game has a MC score of 80.

And here I was thinking golden abyss is the second best UC game, silly me.

[RyougaSaotome]

There is none. The game uses a fake french-ish language.

The camera works fantastically as far as my play through was concerned. For targeting stuff in the air, I like using a combination of the normal camera with the gyro stuff. It works really well.

[Koroviev]

I was tempted to get it via PSN, but stuck with Amazon because I don't want to take up all that space on the memory card.

[EuropeOG]

Looks great.

Vita is going out with a bang.

[earvcunanan]

Looks great. Vita is going out with a bang.

Where's the Vita going out to? O_o

[Pylon_Trooper]

I think you missed the Hilarity Express. There should be another coming through tomorrow.

[dreamfall]

I just want it so badly! Since Japanese launch, this has looked terrific. The reviews do seem very encouraging, but regardless, the demo sold me. I imported a Vita, and this one of the first demos I played. Movement feels so blissful- careening from one ledge to another, while triggering gravity is incredible. I can't wait for June!

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I will buy a(nother) vita for this when it comes out.

Will this have a use for a 3G vita?

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Great reviews (for the most part). Just made the wait worse.

[KimonoNoNo]

Eurogamer just updated their review.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...ty-rush-review

He seems equally pleased now that he understands whats going on.

[extralite]

I agree with the 9 and above reviews. Up there with KI:U and 3D Land as best handheld games of this gen so far.

[extralite]

Will this have a use for a 3G vita?

You can check leaderboards anywhere! No

[Out_Of_Ammo]

The dutch OPM gave Gravity Rush 88/100. Just got it in the mail.

[Fabrik]

Haven't played it yet but from what I've seen this seems really good indeed. The only original/creative game worth it on Vita for me.

[CorrisD]

Its great that this is generally getting good to great reviews, we get so few games out of Studio Japan, especially on time, that when one does arrive and is praised it is really nice to see.

[Square Triangle]

The demo along with a Resistance Burning Skies demo hit US PSN this tuesday.

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Jet Set Radio is among my favorite games period. And while I haven't gotten around to playing all of Arkham City, the traversal mechanics seemed great in the demo (not to mention I loved the first game). Hype just reached dangerous high levels now.

Yikes. Yeah, any relating this to JSR is only making it harder for me to resist buying a Vita for this.

Plus, we'll be getting JSR for the Vita also, so between these two I could just spend 3 months comfortably in a cave.

[earvcunanan]

Can you provide an excerpt or the OP? Thanks.

[injurai]

IGN gave it a 7.5 which I will consider a 9.5 with Japan to US conversions.

IGN currency is about as valuable as German marks circa World War I.

[BlazingDarkness]

In IGNs defence, they do say there's a brilliant game hampered by various odd design decisions, which I guess for most people will simply be a case of to which extent you can look past any such faults to appreciate it

I will say though that there's an ever growing trend of reviewers coming down hard on something with a questionable design, but not taking the same criticisms upon something with a completely safe and uninspired design, which I think both should be scored to a fault - with the former at least trying something a bit different

[Winnie the Pimp]

finally a good Vita EXCLUSIVE game, it's what this system needs the most and this really should have been out at launch in the US and EU!

I will grab this for sure, in fact this might be one of the reasons why i'd buy a Vita at ALL now!

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Can you provide an excerpt or the OP? Thanks.

Sure, roughly translated from Dutch:

By far the best game that's currently available for the Vita. Gorgeous, ingenious and plays like a dream. It's just a pity that the complex world barely gives away its secrets.

[v0mitg0d]

Ok guys, check it out!

https://twitter.com/heymarkd/status/.../photo/1/large

So now that I have my review copy and plan to play it over the weekend, I'm curious what you guys are looking for in a review?

Anything specifically?

Also, how excited are you for this game? Anyone here played the Japanese version? If so then I have some questions for ya.

That seems crazy when you consider that bad design is objectively bad whereas safe design can can only be subjectively bad.

day 1


how is the back touch pad in this game?

[SMT]

Hm, Destructoid giving this game a 6.8 is quite peculiar. They usually try to find the not-so-evident good in most games, however the appealing aspects of this piece are blatant.

Odd.

Edit: Oh wait, Jim Sterling, this man shouldn't be allowed to attribute ratings for games, he's better off on one of his convincing rants. (Hercules: Disappointed!)

YAHTZEE is my Bible.

[Shorty11857]

And here I was thinking golden abyss is the second best UC game, silly me.

I'd agree golden abyss is great liked it a lot more than 3

Can't wait for gravity rush the game looks amazing

[Bay Maximus]

I am truly a lousy Vita owner, I ha no idea about this game. Day 1. Atta boy Vita, earn your keep.
