This game is being wasted on the vita. The vita is not popular and it's unlikely this game will find success on it.

It's a shame because this game has a really awesome concept.

 

[Kacho]

Not a fan of the monster design. Looks fun though.

It's games like this that can potentially make Vita popular. It's not a waste if you buy a vita.

I disagree. The only reason it's getting any attention at all is because it's on the Vita (same w/Gravity Rush).

 

[Deleted member 20920]

I see Inafune has already been infected with the typo bug and spread it over to Marvelous.

Mah. Marvelous probably got it from Natume.
I hope they release a nice bundle for this game. Then maybe I'll get a Vita
Trying my best to surpress getting the LBP Asian bundle since I want it in another colour and am not that huge a fan of LBP despite all its cuteness.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

Spoiler

some good old fashioned nightmare fuel there though

 

[Akainu]

So the two hands that show up on the screen say save and sacrifice?

 

[Oxn]

thread needs more attention

 

[Takao]

There will be two live streams tonight. At 13:00JST (12AM EDT) there will be something here, and another at 15:00JST here.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

It looks amazing, really impressive

 

[Man]

After seeing that MH4 trailer this became even more of a must buy.

That was the part of the trailer where I thought, "Maybe I -should- get a Vita."

Whoa, really? Soul Sacrifice looks great, and I won't compare the two because it's apples and oranges, but Monster Hunter 4 looks and sounds awesome.

 

[Yjynx]

Kind of sad that they postponed it.

Did we see the same trailer? Because graphically mh4 looks really ugly to me, easily the worst looking mh game i have ever seen(and this is strange because 3g looks better)

 

[°°ToMmY°°]

Glorious. Wasn't really interested in this at first, but seeing the player sacrificing his friend to gain more power in a pool of blood got me hyped for this!

Can't wait to smash skulls of my friends to gain more powers!

 

[zoukka]

This honestly looks just the game Vita needs. It's quite clearly a MonHun clone, but that's one awesome series to branch out of. Digging the theme.

 

[Endo Punk]

The monster designs are really doing it for me, love 'em. If I do purchase a Vita later this year this game is definitely top of my list.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

What sort of a twisted mind came up with these creature designs?

 

[Sid]

I hope the combat system is awesome and i also hope this won't be a drab grind fest like monster hunter.Digging the look.

To me, while its understandable to reference Monster Hunter because its the archetype...this looks much better...darker, crazier, better visually as well

 

[Maedhros]

Also: it looks fast.

 

[Wanny]

My avatar says it all.

 

[Akainu]

What was the original release window of the game wasn't always 2013?

 

[Maedhros]

Winter 2012

 

[magawolaz]

What was the original release window of the game wasn't always 2013?

Winter 2012, in Japan.

 

[darkwing]

What was the original release window of the game wasn't always 2013?

in NA , yes

 

[Akainu]

Do we know how far back it was pushed? Like Januaryish?

 

[zoukka]

To me it's impossible to compare. I wouldn't raise expectations too high, considering how long the MonHun formula has been polished. I hope it's different enough in core level to be more than a clone.

 

[Kyoufu]

I think they said March but I'm not sure.

 

[BadWolf]

Its unfortunate that they will miss the holidays but with the reason being that Sony wants them to polish the game some more, I'm more than okay with that.

It looks like a killer title and they have one chance to grab ppl by the balls (don't think they have the luxury of relying on a sequel, for now).

 

[Ohnonono]

Hyped for this, looks nuts!

 

[popsicle_sundays]

So excited for this game, P4 Golden should hold me off until this comes out

I doubt "polish" is the REAL reason. They probably just want to avoid Wii U + Monster Hunter combo in December.

edit: MH4 is out in March... hmm, wonder when SS is coming then...

 

[Takao]

I think they said March but I'm not sure.

As far as I know they've yet to give a specific window outside of maybe a season.

Not sure if serious.

MH4 may sounds alright but looks hideous.

I just think it is a little unfair to pawn this game as clone of the Monster Hunter games...its like calling Uncharted a Gears of War clone, there is enough in here to differentiate it...whether it will live up to the promise shown in trailers and clips is another matter...but the design and atmosphere definitely intrigues me. It reminds me of berserk

 

[Teknoman]

T-virus strikes again.

This is going to have online co-op right?

 

[twentytwo22]

I believe they stated Spring as the new release season.

 

[Forever]

Looks better here.

And in gifs:

Etc.

The game is a half year out, there's plenty of time to polish the graphics. MH3U looks great and I can't fathom that MH4 would wind up looking worse.

Well Sony owns the IP so it should see life elsewhere even if the vita dies. But it would probably be best if the vita lived.

Cool post about soul sacrifice, bro.

 

[Beelzebub]

[Akainu]

God fucking dammit stop talking about monster hunter and get that shit out of here.

TGS Stage footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8km-bFzyEk

Thank you.

 

[Teknoman]

Im really glad this style of game is really taking off. World needs more challenging skill based co-op titles. I'll get some Soul Sacrifice gifs here in a little.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Dem ground textures. Yikes.

 

[Akainu]

Ah those guys were dicks they just up and killed that lady. XD

I'd be pretty cool is you can summon other things like that plant monster.

 

[Hanmik]
