Usually when the store updates. Hope the store updates as soon as possible tomorrowwho am i kidding
Thanks. If I'm remembering correctly, doesn't the store usually start updating around 3 - 4pm?
Would be a nice treat to come home and have it already installed and ready to play.
It is live, 9/10 but not by Colin.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
They already posted the IGN review above. Someone didn't read the whole thread.
PS: Here is the IGN Video Review on Youtube

No, but apparently there is DLC you can buy.
No, sorry. You can donate the money to futurlab but no way to own the game outright

Really looking forward to this tomorrow, it's great when games come from nowhere and turn out to be great (and free)
P.S. I have no idea what 'Eat Crow' is referring to. This is literally the only place I have seen people use that phrase.

If you're patient and don't download the PS+ version, you should be able to purchase it when it leaves Plus.
Apart from that, pretty sure you're only option is to create a new account.
Will do this then. It feels kind of strange that a game is being released free first, then pay later. :s
Usually on PS+ it's the other way around.
In my personal opinion, the first 2 weeks of a game's life are the most important, so I want to contribute to that.

You could buy the DLC and possibly merch from futurlab to show some love. I think the only way to buy it will be on a secondary account.
I can't wait to get onto this, absolutely loved velocity and velocity ultra.

Cool, so it's releasing like VF5: Final Showdown. Free on + with DLC. Can't wait to check it out for myself.
Amazing. Will buy the DLC and donate the full £ value via their website* as I did for Ultra. <3
* actually I may have donated more than the PSN value, I can't fully remember

Great reviews, but that was expected. I like the fact that there's apparently more emphasis on story and the actual character of Kai this time around. Really looking forward to playing this tomorrow, and while Ultra felt so right on the Vita, I think for 2X I'll opt for snazzy 1080p PS4 visuals.
The story is actually really good. I enjoyed it. Kai is adorable.
Thanks for the heads up.
Done and downloading. Perfect that I could claim it as a Vita download just like I wanted =). I saw the soundtrack for Vita too. Can I pull music off the Vita? I have to get it to Google Music somehow.

Agree 100% so many great indie games have come and are coming to PS+ I would be happy if Sony continued to do this instead of offering launch titles.

Looks like this could be one of the top indie games of the year. Is it coming to any other platform beside's the one's it's launching on?

On PS4 if you search for the game you'll find it. Add it to cart and it'll mark out the $19.99 and say free. Confirm Purchase and start downloading!
Can't wait to play this

Set up a second account without PS+.
Velocity later came to Steam, maybe this will too.

Glances over scores.
Well shit. Maybe I pick up a PSN. Card on the way home.

Yeah. Towerfall Ascension was supposed to be really good, but I didn't really dig it. Scores aren't all that matters in an individual's quality assessment.

I don't think it's fair to say a selection "sucks" because it's made up of quality games of genres you're not interested in. If you have any form of critical reasoning you should be able to see the difference between a good game in a genre you don't like and a bad game of a genre you do like.
If you played Towerfall by yourself, I wouldn't expect you to. The Quest mode is pretty fun but the MP makes the game.
Thanks!
On a side note. I had no idea The Verge gave the Vita an 8.5 when they reviewed it.
I guess I'm not trying to defend those who call the month "an objectively bad month" or anything along those lines, I'm just saying that for some people, some months are bummers.

Since I can't post scans I guess, copied some of it (PS4 version tested):
They gave Velocity a 9, so Velocity 2X is a bit of a disappointment to them. Not as lean as the original game, but still extremely satisfying.
"The later addition of teleporter pods that Tana can throw, however, is more problematic, entirely disrupting the game's sense of flow. You'll have to stop, hold Triangle, move the analogue stick until you find the right arc, and then release the button to throw. Sometimes you'll have to target specific points on the floor or ceiling, clumsily denoted by icons to highlight exactly where you need to aim. Velocity 2X is at its best when you're allowed to build up thrilling momentum; these sections bring you to a juddering halt."
"It's testament to the high standards set by the rest of the game that these problems don't derail it for too long. Velocity favoured substance over style, but there's an abundance of the latter in FuturLab's art here. With five very different areas to explore - from the verdant planet of a pacifist alien race to the Mirror's Edge-inspired architecture of Tiracas, the paradise home of the antagonists - Velocity 2X doesn't lack for visual variety. And while you'll hear familiar themes in the soundtrack, you'll struggle to find any game with better sound effects for beam weapons and shattering glass."
"As a sequel, Velocity 2X is rarely short of ideas. A recurring boss has a new trick every time you meet him, while one terrific late flourish arrives just three levels before the end. If it's a lesser game than Velocity, it's not for a lack of effort on FuturLab's part. That it leaves even the faintest taste of disappointment speaks volumes about the quality of the original design, and the consistently evident talent of its makers."

It seems most people who are surprised by Velocity 2X just really haven't played Velocity Ultra.

Is the Store not updating today because of the holiday?
