Gravity Rush 2 demo is live
- Thread starter bombshell
- Start date
Yep, Stasis Field is fluid now, auto float after using stasis on the first game was the worst part.
Also Stasis with Jupiter style is great, every object you attract condenses in a single big bullet.
I like how you can't dogde under Jupiter style but instead of it you can parry.

I genuinely thought it was the difference of a tutorial on the front end and picked beginner and then quit out and went expert when I realised how basic it was! They definitely could word that better hah

Had great time with the demo, even though it bugged out on me twice.
First when breaking the crates from the thief, after breaking all it just said there's 1 left, and second time when using Jupiter style to smash all the crates Kat got stuck in the ground.
Needs some work but this is really old build, right? FPS is pretty jumpy but I'd assume they'll get it ironed out for release, and should take advantage of Pro. Pictures don't do the game justice, it looks awesome in motion.

Based on the JP demo I played, Kat can change small TV channels by attacking them
I liked that little touch.
Thought the audio in-game broke but that's what the sound was! Accidentally hit one of the small pole TVs.

Uh yeah a ton of people used the gyro. If you are playing the game right you are using the thumbsticks for large camera movements and then fine tuning with the gyro for precision. That's part of the fun

Yeah, the one crate glitch happened to me the first time through the Japanese demo. I kept hoping one of the Nevi's would push me off the platform, but it never happened so I had to restart. And Toyama has said it's an old build (it's based off the E3 demo) and that they've cleaned up the performance since then.

Oh wow, the second mission is completely different in Experienced Mode. Ha, now I'm able to experiment with the gravity.

It isn't going to be 60fps but this is an old build. So, the 30fps will be more stable than what is in the demo.
Just beat both modes. This game looks so damn good and oozes warm feelings with that art style. The crates destruction physics are dope lol. Kat & Raven are gonna kill it in this one. I'm in, most definitely.
Also using the stasis field and shooting objects feels sooo much better now.

Even on the OG? Thank god bc this runs like a bad dream.

Yeah there's alot of physics and seperate objects and such in the gameShe does clip through but this is a pretty neat touch in an open-world game.
I'm loving the new stuff but... this demo runs like shit. The fps drops can be tolerable, but it hard crashed on me twice, and then it turns out if you have to pee and leave it on the pause menu it restarts to the very beginning?????????? What the hell?? It's the fourth time I try to finish it FFS!

Yea I just got another hard crash my self. Deleted it and I'm re downloading now
You do know this is the exact build from E3 right? It was on the show floor. They had the game reset the demo after periods of inactivity so anyone waltzing by could start the demo fresh after the last person.
Find time where you can finish it in a sitting, takes like 10 minutes to finish the whole thing.
Correct. No Pro patch for this demo I read since this is still an old build of the game. Can't freaking wait to see the game with Pro patch included. Should be pretty fantastic IQ wise.

PSA: To perform Lunar dash forward to recreate those sweet superman gifs, press forward and X at the same time from the point of the stick being at center (when Lunar is on obviously). You cannot perform it in the middle of running unless you reset the stick to center and then press forward and X again.
It happened to me on the Pro. Twice!
I mean... how hard can it be to change that little thing? I mean getting rid of the hard crashes ok, that will take work, but changing the time out thing should be a second before a home release :/
This won't affect my decision, I will buy the game, loved 1 and these 2 new styles in the demo blew my mind, but there are a lot of people who never played these games and I just worry about the first impressions.
Will buy day 1, hope it's stable and runs smoothly, this gem deserves it.
I spent the past hour or so getting the accordion guy near the start of the demo to keep dropping his accordion, and building a pretty decent-sized pile.She does clip through but this is a pretty neat touch in an open-world game.
I haven't even made any actual progress in the demo yet, this is pretty much all I've done for the past hour.
EDIT: good dammit, I left the game on the pause menu for a while and got reset to the title screen. I wanted too keep playing with my accordion mountain... ;_;

Keep collecting. Do iiiiiiitttttttt
You'd be surprised. Devs will make a quick demo for a trade show and never go back to it after it's all said and done.

This sensation is why I love these games. Pure anime exhilaration. It's like falling through a scene from Kiki's Delivery Service.
I had to take a break and got reset to the title screen. ;_; I'll try again later. I didn't even get to try blasting them all away with gravity powers...
Here it was with the guy in the middle, anyway.

I recorded this earlier, something about the falling effect is just so, so good.

And to think, we haven't even seen the Pro-patched version yet! I'm looking forward to that improved IQ personally and even crazier physics hopefully lol. And am hoping they really iron out any frame pacing issues for that super solid fps feel.

Yeah, you can even access the two new forms in expert mode.
Played it. Liked it. Kat and Raven's super feels like it almost gave m an epileptic fit.
I could leave the launch music on forever. Jazzy all up in here.
Combat hasn't advanced as far as I'd like, but it's only a demo. The new styles are fun and lunar is just great floaty stuff.
I am in.

My man. I thought about Kiki in the original game, especially with all of the errands Kat runs.

Lunar is not what I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be a kind of fast, high mobility mode that would be ideal for traversal. Instead, it's mostly just super floaty (which I guess makes sense, given that it's Lunar) with a short-range ability to teleport and perhaps slightly more control in the air in some instances. But for some reason, I really thought it was supposed to be fast, but it seemed like it was slower than the default mode when "falling" around to various locations. It is really nice to have a mode to handle those pesky flying enemies that loved to dodge in the original game, though.
Thank you! I kept trying to make this happen, but I couldn't get it to work. I'll try this on my next/final playthrough of the demo.

Absolutely agreed about Stasis. I really disliked it in the original and never used it for that reason. In the demo when they told me to use it, from the moment I first hit Circle, I thought, "Wow, that's so much better."
I didn't notice much different about the Gravity Kick, though. What feels better to you?
