I've had piles of puke that look less confusing than that mess of a box art.

That was what I thought when I saw that cover. I'm down for what they're attempting to do, but it's a mess.

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

not only Shu..see tumblr,tons of Japanese and Koreans girls(and from europe and US too) wear make-up and dress up like her now..it's pretty freaking annoying.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Hell yes! It's coming much sooner than I expected good stuff Sony. Keep it up.

Next up: KZ Merc release date AND a soul sacrifice demo

Either way I will be there day -1 for this

More like freaking hot. ;P

 

[Mondriaan]

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).

It plays like MH in the same way all FPS games play like COD.

They should just use her for the next color refresh.

I don't know what to make of this.

 

[Velkyn]

Kinda shitty move to hide the Japanese audio as a preorder bonus. Not that I'd imagine myself playing it in Japanese, but an odd move nevertheless.

Costumes and spells don't really seem like great incentive either given how much we've seen of both in the demo. It's not like there's a shortage.

Don't Japanese voice tracks cost money to license in North America? That's what I'd always heard, and why Atlus never is able to do it.

 

[Community Forum]

I will purchase this video game.

 

[cyborg009]

male and female and japan only I think.

 

[Aleph]

Does anyone know how much will the digital version cost?

 

[Hasemo]

Really happy that the rest of the world won't have to wait long for this awesome game.

 

[Mondriaan]

I don't know what to make of this.

There are plenty of differences between FPS titles, but those things won't matter to people who don't care about that style of game (and want to call all FPS games COD clones). It's not really any different for this style of coop game either.

 

[Salaadin]

That male DLC costume shown in the blog post reminds me of Folklore for some reason.
It also makes me miss Folklore.

 

[dan2026]

Those covers are so much better!

Why aren't we getting those?

 

[Zoe]

Aren't those from the two-pack?

 

[InfiniteNine]

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

Well it is about as ugly as a MH boxart.

 

[Tiops]

Day 1 for me. Played the japanese demo and loved it.

 

[Diseased Yak]

Definitely buying Day 1. Not sure about physical copy or digital, but most all my Vita purchases have been physical, so why stop now I suppose...

 

[B.O.O.M]

Does anyone know how much will the digital version cost?

Since it's first party it will most probably follow the other first party games and will be 10% less. So around $36

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Was this game any good during the beta? I was excited when I thought it would be a Souls game, but then I saw videos where it looked like a poor man's Monster Hunter.

 

[lantus]

Game certainly looks interesting, and Vita games are always welcome, but I would really like a demo to try before I take the plunge on this one.

 

[Hi i'm Caleb]

I love that box art, but I hate that Logo.

 

[MightyKAC]

Going to be all over this the moment it comes out on PSN.
I just hope that early adopters still get all the DLC there.

 

[Genki]

Nice that it's not that far off. Really not a fan of the pre-order incentive bullshit though.

 

[KillGore]

Sexy!

Ahahahaha wuuuuuut

 

[Travado]

Come to Daddy!!!

 

[Viola of the Abyss]

Dear SCEE, reversible cover for the PAL version if you don't mind...

 

[thetrin]

Great that they officially announced it. The box art is gorgeous to me. I've always loved crazy busy box art.

Dear SCEE, reversible cover for the PAL version if you don't mind...

Wow, that box art is incredibly boring.

 

[lazybones18]

Acceptable release date. Have more time to play DoA5+

 

[Durante]

I've always said I'm more than happy to pay for dual audio, I just want to get it at all. Time to put that into practice.

The box art is totally metal. I like it.

 

[Cha]

^ Reversible cover art would be awesome! I like the female character art a lot. Wish the logo a was a bit smaller though.

Demo was fantastic! Can not wait for this game to hit the shelves!

 

[prwxv3]

Except for huge bosses and co-op its not really like monster hunter. The combat is significantly faster. And the combat is based on magic and resource management.

 

[Mr.Fresh]

This , Dead or Alive, and Muramasa will be mine!

 

[Takamura-San]

You have very artful vomit.

 

[Chrysalis]

Wow...those alt covers are really attractive. Much preferred. Don't care about physical anyway, though.

Pre-ordered just for the JP VA's (and I never pre-order). The evil master plan is working.

 

[Xiaoki]

Really not surprising that people dont understand that Vita carts are still limited to 4GB and that voice tracks are big.

They didnt seperate the Japanese voice track as some sort of insidious plot, they did it because it wouldnt have fit on the cart.

People aren't protesting the separate download. They're protesting the additional cost.

 

[Lambtron]

Glad I have this preordered at $30. Should be a good time.

What cost you preroder you get it.

It only cost of you dont preorder.

And if someone doesn't have the means to preorder?

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

So awesome to finally get a release date for the US. Are these preorder items exclusive to any one vender?

 

[Ridley327]

I think they would have mentioned if they were, which means it's a universal pre-order bonus. I'm sure that they'll do a pre-order on the Store with the same goods, too.

Hope so, I've had my preorder on Amazon since like June lol.

I don't know.

Then they miss out on free stuff for not having a credit card or $5/a game to trade in to preorder Soul Sacrifice

Not very demanding requirements

Then they have to pay. But who cares cause I gots mines.

 

[CrovaxPSO]

Having the Japanese voice audio as a pre-order bonus or paid DLC doesn't bother me one bit. I would much rather have a way to get it for free (via pre-ordering) or by paying for it later rather than not get it at all like the new Atelier game. There's maybe a better way to provide it as a free incentive other than pre-ordering (maybe included in all new copies or something), but pre-order bonuses have never bothered me unless they're retailer-specific.

 

[Ryuukan]

Have you written to your local congressperson for tax breaks for lower income vita owners? You sound very concerned

 

[Durante]

Indeed. In fact, I wouldn't be opposed to this taking off, since it would give those (few) companies who are still reluctant about dual audio a financial incentive to provide it.
