In the same month as Pokemon, and Smash Bros. 3DS...and Bayonetta 2, Fantasy Life....ugh oh. Glad it's finally confirmed but hope there is a demo.

 

[NegativeCero]

Great. Almost certainly a day 1 for me.

 

[mitx]

Awesome that we've finally got a date.
Now to wait on the Australian retail listings and price confirmation so I can pre-order a copy.After a bunch of people expressing outrage on the blog, a few thousand people signing petition, and other places venting about it SCEE reversed the decision and announced they'd be doing one afterall.

I'm a little afraid that after all that outrage that the retail version will bomb and that will serve as a cautionary tale for future vita games...

October 28th it is then.

 

[RedNumberFive]

Day one. My Vita is ready.

 

[Takao]

will you actually be able to preorder and preload this on the vita store

Preorder, probably. But I haven't heard anything about preloading coming to Vita.

You can already pre-load games on Vita. It's just that right now it's limited to Cross-Buy games that you have to pre-order on PC or a home console.

nope, scea solution:

Lastly, for those that want the same pre-order items for the digital version, simply purchase Freedom Wars between Tuesday, October 28th to Tuesday, November 11th. After that, the pre-order items will no longer be available.

they don't want to be bother to implement the pre-order system on vita US store.

 

[BaraSailey]

Sweet! Definitely a day one buy for me. I'm so excited for this game.

I guess they're too busy removing PSP games from the Vita store or something.

 

[i-Jest]

So anyone know who the participating retailers are for these preorder bonuses?

 

[Nesther]

I can't seem to find it for pre-order on Amazon EU, I thought it's getting a physical release though?

For AusGAF, local release will be October 29, and it's budget priced at $39.95. EB's doing the DLC pre-order bonus stuff.

You can preorder using a vita on the US store. I bought Hohokum using that, It was pretty hidden (like almost everything on the vita store). And the cool thing is that they add a message on the vita calendar app, and you receive a notification saying that the game is unlocked.

SCEA just don't care, but its there and it works.

Why not just wait for western review sites?

Joke post ?

Western reviews for hunting game tend to be satire at best.

 

[BBboy20]

Get ready to use the exact same weapon for most of the game!

What? =/

So, going by the responses across NeoGAF, seems like this game is a mixed-bag.
