Maybe they'll add a Hard mode that addresses that. I also heard you don't actually start out with jumping in the Vita game, you unlock it later is that true? Weird.
But I'll definitely be getting this next year along w/ a PS4.

This is pretty obvious, isn't it? They'll simply have to rework much of the game in order to make it playable on a DS4. The two versions will be very similar experiences (I expect the same narrative and end goal) but they will be two distinctly different games.
Which means I'm all in on this new version. Loved the Vita game, despite the lack of depth in platforming. I hope Mm will take the time to add some meat to the bone in a few places there.

You can't jump until near the end of the second level, but it's honestly not so weird in the context of the game.

I would play the Vita version. It's phenomenal
The sad thing about Tearaway on the PS4 is that your face will no longer be the sunIt might support the PS4 cam but who has one.
Remember, the camera was sold out the days when it was released, you'd be surprised.

Pfft, they should have just made a full-fledged sequel and be done with it. Now I can't even get properly excited for this because I've already played half the game.
I did watch the pc but I must have missed that part. I love the original so I was really excited to get a new game in the series...Guess you haven't watched the Gamescom Sony Presser? Or seen the Neogaf Thread here

I hope this game opens a lot more eyes up to Tearaway. Easily one of my favorite games from last year. Incredibly charming.

It's not a true platformer. It's a collect-a-thon with some platforming and action elements. Not a lot of platforming really until the last hour or so of the game. Most of the game is you running around collecting random bits and bolts and also being forced to beat up the same two or three enemies over and over and over and over and over again.
I've seen it for like 17 brand new on Amazon. If you have a Vita I don't see a reason why you shouldn't get it and a ton of reasons why you should.
I've bought, finished, and platinumed Vita's Tearaway and I know I'm gonna be there day-one for the PS4 remake. It's really, really good and I hope they're able to take a good profit from it and make it a
(not milked, please)
Well, it makes sense. It's kind of like a tutorial They want you to understand how to use the back touchpad to jump and do stuff and, once you've finished the first level, you learn how to jump.
It's weird, I know. You'll understand it better if you played. I think it wasn't a bad idea to "lock" the jump for a while since it forced you to learn how to use other mechanics to go through the first level.
Having your face in the sun was a fundamental part of the game
and ending.
It wasn't a totally useless gimmick.
yeah it was essential to the effectiveness of their story
there's a lot that must need changing now, so I'm interested to see how they let their creativity fly now that they're on PS4

Well, that's half-a-dip for me.

Yeah, the player's role in the story ended up being essentially the main theme of the game. Wonder how they'll get around it for the PS4 version.
Anyway, day 1 for me. Hopefully it'll sell enough to warrant a sequel down the line.

Mmmyes. This is perfect! I have yet to play through my vita version, and now I think I'll just hold off until this one comes out.
Well, if the PS4 release is successful enough, then a sequel will be made.

just glad i don't have to buy a vita to try this game out.
I guess MM want to see how the franchise will do on PS4 before doing a proper sequel. Financially, it makes sense to remake the first one before investing money into a sequel. Games like Tearaway don't sell enough to justify taking big risks. After all, the vita version apparently didn't sell too much either despite getting good reviews and making excellent use of the vita.
I'm super excited for a PS4 Tearaway. I hope MM adds a bit more platforming to this version.

Big fan of Tearaway but this project feels strange to me, at least in this announcement phase. I really appreciated how the capabilities of the handheld directly fed into the story and themes of the Vita game, was one of the things that made it special. It will lose some of that magic if themes as well as mechanics need to be altered and reimagined to make it about the Dualshock. I will play it and have faith in Media Molecule to make fun new paper mechanics and worlds, but straddling a middle ground between port and sequel within the framework of the original sounds like a difficult task to get right.

Very nice ^_^
Day 1
Can't wait to see Media Molecule's second project from their second team
Man, Jesus Christ really doesn't like the PS4.
Neat, though kinda expected.
Didn't it sell poorly on Vita? Probably waiting to see how it performs this time before making a sequel.

According to VG Chartz (no idea how accurate), Tearaway sold a "whopping" 360k on Vita, which is sadly still good enough for #17 all-time on Vita. Uncharted is the only Vita game to sell more than 1M copies.
Hopefully it will find a bigger audience on PS4, even if the install base isn't dramatically bigger right now.

Because the first game was very good and not enough people played it.

The way it was selling at over msrp for awhile, I think quite a few people probably. I have one.

I hope they get rid of the parts where they force you to make stuff.

Will be buying down the road, after I get a PS4. No reason for me not to support original and good IPs.
So basically you want a different game entirely?

Hmm already played it on Vita and it was pretty cute. Might look into this after a price drop. I'm actually pretty curious how they'll go about using the camera and what changes they've made for the lack of touch controls. Should make it different enough to make for a new experience.
Play both and thank us later.

That was literally the entire point of the game though.
Not really. My assumption is the added content is to make up for the vita segments that they can't include on a PS4 controller.
