Kill Screen did a wonderful little feature about Gravity Rush exploring Toyama's influences before turning into a love letter to the game's level design and shifting mechanics.
Great read:

Yeah, I turned it off.
Fantastic read, thanks for sharing!
Wow, they have the pic that inspired the game right there.
I've always been meaning to read Moebius. Only seen a few pics of his works and never any full stories.

Fascinating read, thanks.
What happens if you turn off the dashboard music in settings?

Not sure if this will help, I think I got it in the second challenge mission, might be a good place to try.
Sorry to hear this. What are the other two, curiously?

I didn't realize the Moebius influence was that overt, but I definitely noticed it in the way the LOD becomes like a hand drawn sketch as you get farther away from the environments. Dying to see how they push the layering and density in the sequel.
So I saw the PAL box art the other day and cringed as I suspect many of you did when you first saw it. I went ahead and made some custom cover art that you can print out to replace the original cover.
Special thanks to PaulloDEC for digitizing the concept art that I used for the background.

Just completed the game and now I'm going for the platinum but I can't believe that this game ran on Vita and secondly they made it for the Vita instead of the ps3/ps4.
So many times this game surprised me with how vast it was even though you could fly. Compared to second son which seemed smaller cause of the neon powers and that games built ground up for the ps4

Just finished the game, and...
I mean, I loved the game for sure but
Well other than the somewhat lackbuster story I loved everything about it, gameplay, characters, world....
now off to do some side things (mainly those buffed Nevis and the lost travelers).
I mean, I loved the game for sure but
so many unanswered things. It makes sense I guess now with the sequel but I can imagine people getting pissed off about it when the game was new on Vita. There seems to be a big chunk of story missing and the Dnelica plot adds basically nothing.

How do I avoid Ravens attacks under the city?
Like those blue hadoukens, what the fuck? Air dodge and blasting away doesn't work. Honestly, boss fights in this game are a huge fucking ball ache.
Edit: yeah fuck this, she's spamming the blue balls. I think the develops think their combat works better than it does.

Those are wide and you can't dodge far enough. Instead, start shifting (hold X to go faster) sideways/horizontally a bit before she launches them and you'll be clear.
Bought the game on wednesday. I'm looking forward to playing it again. I wonder if i will like it as much as i did back then on Vita. Most fun part was finding and collecting all the purple thingies and meeting the travellers. And the soundtrack was divine (Sony didn't bother to put it up for sale on the EU store yet again...).

Why does this game have combat? It's really bad, especially in the air when your homing kick will just slide on by for no reason.
Moving around is a blast but pretty much everything else (story, combat, world design, mission design) is just flat. Seems more like a proof of concept for what could be a way better game.

Try changing direction. If you expect to fly straight down then you'll never make it.
Of course I don't fly straight down. The still just home in on me. I'm having to cheese it by hiding behind each vertebrae.
It's also a handheld title. Hopefully a lot of these issues will be addressed in the sequel.
Btw, you forgot to mention that art direction and music are pretty good as well. The game looks very pretty, both when staying still and in-motion imo.

Eh. They are both fine but not something I really care too much for. But yes the game looks good in motion and the camera works as you would want it to, which would utterly ruin the game if it didn't.

Against most airborne moving enemies you'll need to adjust your kick mid-flight to ensure it connects. This becomes very important with some of the larger flying enemies towards the end of the game.

Yeah I do that and it still flubs a lot of the time. It would help if you had more then one combat option in the air besides your super moves.
Well it was a handheld game, the combat although bad was still fun for the most part. A lot of the game could be better but it was fine for how short it was.

Have you deactivated the gyroscope for the Dualshock 4? Moving it during battle can change where you will go and can mean you will miss your enemy.
Otherwise you need to attack where you can see the big pulsing red orb which usually means flying past the enemy then turning back around.

Yup, I turned off the gyro controls instantly.

I wouldn't say it's bad combat, I actually find it pretty fun, but it is simplistic in nature. Though on the remaster I can actually use the slide kick, which I never really used on Vita, so that adds to it a bit.

It's just like...you have no options whatsoever. You kick and dodge in big combat arenas against enemies with no personality or flair, and in the air you fly around praying your kick will land. That's not interesting or fun to me. Combat in a game so focused on movement and being in the air should be awesome but its not.

I think the final act was just the writer giving the player a taste of
time dilation

That was a mistake. That's on you, not the game. Also, gyro doesn't affect mid-flight trajectory, that guy is wrong.

Whenever I play a game with gyro controls it never sits well with me, whether it be how I sit when playing or hold the controller it just bothers me. I always turn it off instantly on PS4 and Vita and I have never thought the games would be better with them on.

They gyro resets to (your) neutral constantly, to wherever you're naturally holding it (unlike every other game) and only activates when you're in flight. You turn it off immediately, then how would you even know its impact on gameplay?

Yeah I played with it on for about 5 minutes, went "nope" and shut it off like every other game with gyro controls.
Kyleripman

Yeah that's fair, I can easily see how that part of it wouldn't be for everyone.
I do have to wonder about the flying kick (gravity kick? can't remember what it's called), though, as it actually seems kind of forgiving to me and usually hits the enemies' weak spots even if my aim was a little wonky. Are you holding X while you are flying towards them? Makes you fly faster and maybe that would make less time for the enemy to move out of your way?

I'm not sure if X makes you faster after you've incited the attack, but I suppose you can speed up to get to them and then hit square when you get close.
I would actually argue that hitting the airborne enemies, especially the swordfish looking motherfuckers, is more dependent on timing it so that they dodge at nothing and then you go in for the kill. You gotta be patient is what I've found.
I just got my PS4 and this game recently, so how does one shut off gyro? I don't remember seeing it in the in-game options.

Well, as I said, that's on you.
This btw coming from someone who despises motion controls outside of this single exception.

Go into the options and there's a slider you have to turn all the way to the left. I don't remember what its called, something sensitivity.
I actually like the Wii but have never liked Gyro controls.

Games don't even use it. This game, and what? Not much. BF3 had some opt-in gyro stuff, but it's incredibly rare otherwise.
Gotcha.
I really don't like the aimer twitching while I'm trying to fly.
I didn't mind the aiming gyro in stuff like Wind Waker HD, but this game I feel causes more problems than it solves.

It's easier to get a couple of weaker close-range hits on the swordfish enemies than going for the big long-range attack, that's for sure.
Kyleripman
Member
Hmm, guess I just assumed it would or I'm just in the habit of holding X as soon as I start flying regardless. Only problem with the above technique is that (I think) attacks are more powerful from far away.

Woohoo, just got top 10 in a challenge. I'm sure it was very difficult to beat out all 90 out of 100 people that bought the game.
