Favourite game on Vita and my favourite game on PS3 both having their sequel's demos releasing on the same day just before Christmas. Oh man.
Explanations in the link: https://blog.eu.playstation.com/201...hould-try-out-in-the-new-gravity-rush-2-demo/

I'm so torn. I really don't want to hit open world fatigue by getting GR2 and Horizon back to back. At the very least, I think GR2's traversal makes it more of a platforming open world style whereas Horizon is definitely a quest based rpg open world.

Gravity Rush 2 is far more open now that it is on PS4 but it isn't open world, yeah?

Has anyone else tried the gyro controls yet? It could be my DualShock 4 (which is actually brand new as of a few weeks) but they just don't work for me.
I get a lot of judder and Kat's gravity reticle isn't following the controller precisely or slickly after I press R1. It's also losing calibration really quickly. I was hoping for something as fast and slick as Splatoon, but it's not even functional here, neither is it anywhere near close to matching the experience on Vita with its gyro controls.
I've also noticed this demo must be the same as the one used at demo kiosks, as it times out if you leave it for about a minute and restarts itself - just lost my progress typing this post

Seemed to work fine on my end, pretty much just as the vita worked, I didn't notice any difference or lack of response. I always play a bit of each though so I'll use the stick to aim in the general direction then fine tune with the controller motion.

Yep, it is up in NA now.
Can you provide a web store link?

Yea, I mean it's early days and just the demo of course, but it felt like it made sense and I was flicking between lunar and jupiter for different enemies. The actual visuals are amazing too. Hope you enjoy

According to Keiichiro it's about 2 and a half to 3 times bigger than the first one and more:
https://blog.eu.playstation.com/201...s-bigger-bolder-and-better-than-the-original/
I'd say it's open world as you can go to different islands/cities etc and it's big
It's in the free section of console store. Don't see it on website.

One really cool thing about the demo is how the game determines invert controls. It asks you to look left, then up, and depending on how you push the stick to do either it picks invert/non-invert on each axis.
Damn, do you have a new DualShock 4 (with lightbar cutout) or an old one? It's literally broken for me, though I did use rest mode earlier so I'm going to power down my PS4 and boot it back up and see if that "fixes" it.
(I wasn't using gyro to supplement the sticks - rather for quick turns and rotations on the "other" axis)

Haha yea, I totally appreciate when games incorporate settings like that
It's the new one! Not sure if they've updated any of the tech inside but I can say for sure it's one of the ones that comes with the slim and has the bar on the front. It shooould totally work the way you were trying to use it.
Freedom Wars is PSTV compatible, you can already play it with a dualshock (3/4) right now.

Just rebooted and it's the same - aiming reticle doesn't move much at all, but the screen tilts (inaccurately) when I tilt the controller. It's still very juddery and inaccurate though, so the screen no longer faces where the controller has moved. Really weird.
Edit: Okay, it's just the way the demo forces your perspective on the target...they should probably have turned that off the moment you tilt the controller. Much better now, as the demo has stopped doing that!

This game won't be on PS Vita too?

As much as I love my Vita, Gravity Rush was a game that clearly deserved better.

I'm trying hard not to play lol. I just want it to be completely fresh. On the other hand, I just want to soar through the air a little bit...Yea, I mean it's early days and just the demo of course, but it felt like it made sense and I was flicking between lunar and jupiter for different enemies. The actual visuals are amazing too. Hope you enjoy
Yep, yep.
I see what you're saying but I just don't know if I would put it in the same classification of something like Horizon (which is what the person I quoted did). At the very least, it is certainly open though lol.

I was actually looking into this recently! Unfortunately the PSTV seems to be pretty much sold out/ramped up in price these days, I'm not sure if production has been ended on them maybe?
Ah sorry man, I don't know what to tell you. I was really happy with the controls buuuut this could be a case of just feeling different oppose to experiencing different things hah. I'd like to say that's not the case because I don't feel like it's juddery or anything but I don't know. I've only ever played on vita though so honestly the controls felt like a huge step up all around.
OH wait, did you do the tutorial beginning? I went expert so the game wouldn't force my focus on anything, etc haha didn't consider that
haha you have patience! I would love to just sit on this for hours but I know it's better just to play the main demo content then leave it alone. It's not tooo long until release...
The joy when remote download works <3
My things usually stay queued until I turn the PS4 on.
I love FW and every now and then comes the urge to play again. Then I'm reminded of the RNG galore of the crafting system, decide to just spend a few minutes changing my character/acc and call it a day.

Is the demo timed or permanent ?
Nope this game way bigger and pretter for Vita to handle

All we need now is Horizon Zero Dawn, Ni No Kuni 2 and Persona 5 demos and I will be content.

Yup. I haven't played Gravity Rush since completing it back in...summer 2012 when it launched I think. So thought I'd best freshen up on the button layout first!

Shame. I liked the Vita feature from the first game in first person view mode where you point your Vita to the top and see the sky and to the bottom and see the ground etc like when using VR. Sadly this feature isn't possible with Dualshock 4 since it doesn't have a screen.
LOL About sums it up.Playing GR2 and NieR demo in the same night
