Tearaway |OT| Super Iota 64

It doesn't get super platforming nor actiony until the latter half of the game. So keep that in mind, because the early goings has a certain pace and rhythm to it.

Well, Puppeteer took a couple Acts to tighten up, and I really enjoyed that one.

As long as this is a gameplay focused romp with good controls and creative level design, I'm fine with it being whatever kind of game.

Honestly Nev, even though I actually kind of agree with you on a rudimentary level (and I prefer Iota partially for that reason), you're blowing this so far out of proportion that you're making it easy to side with the others.

Great OT!

This game is SO bought day one for me.

Also, OP, get those gifs up and running on the first page somehow. They really sell the game.

Alright I'm sorry to have brought some kind of negativity to this wonderful OT. I really hope the game delivers.

Got this and Zelda ordered for the weekend. I was really impressed with LBP Vita and want this game to do well. Handheld heaven!

I was hoping you'd have more to say about a design you labelled as bad and "clearly rushed", seems more like you wanted to whine about "political correctness" instead.
Remove the hair and its literally Iota. Do you think Iota's design doesn't feel right? Is the hair the entire problem - would you be fine with different hair?

I really dont get how someone can see either of the two as significantly worse than the other. The differences are minor.
This makes me wonder if maybe it would have been better to just make Iota gender less like Sackboy, and then if the player wanted they could have turned him into a girl through the costumization options.

it's ok, at least we can all agree that this game is gonna be sweet!

this is a good idea - really fits the papercraft theme well
 
Why would someone want "equal representation of genders" in videogames statistically speaking? Why the hell should I tell someone who is creating a videogame that his/her character needs to change his/her gender? "There are enough males at the moment, make him a woman, we need to keep the balance". "We don't have enough male NPCs, quickly, throw in some guys".

Let the freaking developers do whatever they want with their characters. Did anybody complain because Faith was a woman? Did anyone think Skullgirls was offensive for male players? I sure didn't.
You don't get gender equality by making a 50/50 ratio in terms of characters' gender. You make your game with a female lead and players play as her without even wondering why there isn't a male version, that's where the equality is, not in this forced nonsense.

It would be different in a game where the character is basically a canvas, like in LBP or a RPG, but in this case they obviously wanted to make their own unique character, otherwise they would've called him "paperthing" or something like that.

"Individualize" wasn't about not being able to personalize my character clothes and stuff because there is a female version, the absurdity of that should've been enough to let you know that wasn't the case. It was about making a recognizable mascot type character like Mario.
i think ur reading way too much into this man. Choice seems to be the main reason for the different genders. I have no issues with it forced or not.

Pre-ordered. Was kinda on the fence, the buzz is very exciting but on the other hand I didn't like LBP. It was how criminally cheap Vita games are pushed me over the edge.

I just... want it. Now.

Are there any pre-order bonuses? Planned on just walking in picking it up at a Best Buy or something on release!

I'm having a bit of trouble finding clips of the platforming in this game. Can anybody point me in the direction of a trailer/gameplay footage where it's showcased?

Some good gameplay here: (though focuses more on basic traversal and puzzle-ish stuff)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hepsG9fqYpo

And the start of the game walkthrough and explanation (39mins long) with a couple of devs (fair warning: you might not want to watch if you want to start the game fresh, since they literally start a new game and play for a bit, but it's a good video. Jump to 27:40 ish to skip the more "spoilery" bits and get to a platforming section):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPk_kqHMXqs Since this is the very start of the game the platfoming is all done through the rear touch tap drum skins and bounce pads, since you don't get normal X button jumps on demand until a little later.

Interestingly, both these videos had a Tearaway advert playing before them on Youtube for me.

Also, a short video with a bit more of a platforming focus:

It basically needs to score over 90 to even get noticed by anyone with all the XboxOne and Ps4 coverage around.
And even then...

Ah, thanks for posting that!

I wonder if I should just order it from Amazon, and get the pre-order goodies. I'd have to wait to next Tuesday to get it, or just get it release day.

Decisions!

10/10 game review + handheld tax + Vita tax = 6.5/10

you know if you are in NA, you can't pre order it digitally, but you can buy the game within the first week, and get all the pre order bonuses. sans the physical key chain.
