So do we have a hint of the UK PSN price? Will get it digitally at £30, might at £35 and will wait/buy physical at £40.

Can you pre-order the digital ver?

Should be able to in the EU at least, they've been great with digital pre-orders (at least for PS3 games). Expect to potentially play this a lot so digital version preferred.

 

[Copenap]

Wow that is a new freaking low!

What the hell?

Nope, the low was not getting them at all.

 

[Ryuukan]

Because it only free if you pre-order and even then it's still a rip off when other publisher don't offer Japanese audio track as a pre-order incentive but rather have it as part of the game option.

This is a lazy cheap attempt to get people to pre-order the game.

free pre-order rip off

choice of mindblown gif here

 

[TizioVerde]

Charging for the original VO it's kinda bad but it's A LOT better than not having an option at all(so many games skipped fot that reason).

Btw it's D1 for me, the demo was too good to pass.

 

[Number45]

Why do you guys want the Japanese audio? Not criticizing, just curious. Maybe it couldn't fit on the game card? I dunno.

Expecting the English VO to be terrible.

 

[Ravage]

As much as I hate the Japanese tracks being a pre-order bonus, it is better than not getting them at all.

I wish this was an option for Atelier Ayesha ;_;

 

[Takamura-San]

If I'm not mistaken there are many reason we don't get JP audio.

Licensing, media space and bandwidth cost if the published wants to do the download. 2 of them cost money to the published. Some decide to eat the costs.

 

[Viola of the Abyss]

Very interested, but I don't really know what to think of the Japanese track being sold separately.
It's good that we have the option and there was probably no way that we could have gotten it otherwise.
I'll wait to see the pricing, hoping it doesn't get priced at an absurd amount like €15...

I still don't have a Vita so preordering for me is out of the question.

 

[ghostface pizzakid]

Got 2 copies preordered for $20 each. Really wanted the dual joint package to come to NA, but what can you do

 

[Mr E.]

everyone - buy this game pls

Do you get $20 if we do?

 

[Zoe]

is it Gamestop

Goddammit

 

[Acquiescence]

As someone who always ALWAYS opts for the original dub in a Japanese game (given the choice of course), this Japanese-voicetrack-as-paid-content tactic is total bullshit. Its soured for me what is otherwise an excellent announcement.

 

[Sid]

Fucking awesome! can't wait for this damn game.

 

[Uthred]

Really hope you can pre-order this digitally in the US

 

[inHallways]

I need this game in my... life... :V

As far as the visual are concerned I think the game looks good in motion and seems to maintain a fairly stable framerate. I am rather sensitive to framerate fluctuations so whatever visual hits the game had to take to allow for this performance level are fine by me.

Pretty screenshots are nice to have, but are certainly far from the top of my list of wants from a game.

 

[ConradCervantes]

That box art will certain catch an eye or two.

Demo please.

 

[darkside31337]

Demo was really fun but I'll probably only buy this if I end up not buying PSO2 vita.

No. You're buying this game.

I wish they were doing the 2 pack here in the states. I'd buy your damn copy then you cheap bum!

 

[AranhaHunter]

Try as I might, I can't get excited for this game. Maybe the demo will change my mind but I doubt it.

They really want those Monster Hunter sales don't they?

Of course, but they are not gonna get it. Actually if they get 1/10 of MH sales WW and 1/20 of MH sales in JP then that should be considered a huge success.

 

[Ryuukan]

No. You're buying this game.

I wish they were doing the 2 pack here in the states. I'd buy your damn copy then you cheap bum!

On second thought, I'm not buying it either, get a 3 pack

 

[CAVE343]

Nice, sooner than I thought! Love the boxart, day 1 retail for me

 

[michaelius]

1st May ? Someone please break a street date as it's long weekend in a lot of EU countries.

If you don't like Action-Hunting games, there's a good chance you won't like this.

People looking for faster pacing than Boring Hunter (this is my oppinion) will like this. The ammount of customization seems on par with MH too.

 

[VanWinkle]

Given that is not always an option I appreciate that at least they went to the trouble to license it. Non-issue since i will pre-order.



Because I'm a weaboo like that.

Because I want to hear the game as the director originally conceived.

I am the same with everything. Anime/Films/Whatever.

Personal preferences.

So you guys would rather not know what's going on in the game? Unless you speak Japanese, in which case, carry on.

Edit: well, I guess you guys would be using subtitles.

 

[Sid]

English demo plz!

 

[Ridley327]

Japanese VAs as a pre-order bonus? I said "wow."

It is somewhat fitting that Sony would do this, given their strange policies towards languages in their games.

 

[Alchemy]

Shitty preorder bonus, but I'm buying this day one. Excited.

 

[Kiraly]

Come to daddy

To be fair here,during the early PS3 years they used to put dual tracks left and right in their published games (was most likely to show off how good the blu-ray size is..but still).

But there were also devs who were like, "oh, you foreigners wanted the option? lolololol"

 

[Deadpandas]

they better put a demo up for this. I'm not buying unless I get to try it first. I won't be burned again

 

[george_us]

Day fucking one.

Can I get a demo, Sony?

 

[mejin]

English demo plz!

Listen to this man! Please...

 

[Number45]

I thought one had been confirmed?

 

[Ridley327]

I thought one had been confirmed?

We knew it was coming, since it was announced at E3 last year. What we didn't know were dates and, now, pre-order details.

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

It was confirmed in a reply comment on the EU blog.

 

[Twinduct]

FUCK YES!!!

 

[Galang]

Nice! Box art looks great also!

 

[Doctor Decimate]

pre-order for the Japanese voice track?

that's....really weird.

The pre-order doesn't bother me, so much as them selling it does.

 

[Salaadin]

Anyone familiar with Japan enough to know how the buzz for this game is over there? Im hoping it sells nicely and pushes some systems.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

yeah it does seem pretty horrible, though i suppose there's much worse things than the voiceover track that most people don't even use.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Still waiting on the US demo before I decide anything. I know it's similar to MH which I'm not the biggest fan of, but perhaps this'll change my mind.

Does this have any sort of story/end game?
I recall God Eater does right?

 

[ULTROS!]

Dammit, Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut is coming out the same day too.

April is gonna be awesome: Soul Hackers, Deadly Premonition, and Soul Sacrifice.

 

[Trigonx]

Day 1! Can't wait for this game. JPN Demo was sweet.


HYPED!!!

 

[test_account]

I really like the cover. At first it might be hard to see exactly what it is, but when i study it i see all the details.

 

[Zoe]

Well they do have Kyary on board.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Well they do have Kyary on board.

Why am I not surprised? Yoshida seems to be obsessed with her. He even made Sound Shapes levels based on her songs.

 

[Number45]

Does it actually play like MH? I didn't think it did. Didn't play the JP demo but I might actually try the EU one if/when it comes out (I don't often bother with them).

 

[electroplankton]

I would have made the logo smaller, so the resemblance with generic MH boxarts would have been even more uncanny.
