Trailer and screenshots at the link below.

Standing as a direct predecessor to the series’ first North American release (Earth Defense Force 2017, known as Earth Defense Force 3 in Japan), and widely regarded by fans as the best entry in the franchise, Earth Defense Force 2 is making its way to the western hemisphere for the very first time with this greatly expanded remake. In Earth Defense Force 2: Invaders From Planet Space, players will take the role of one of three distinct military classes and fend off hordes of invading giant insects from a third-person perspective by way of conventional weaponry, armored vehicles, jetpacks, air strikes, trip mines, energy weapons, and more.

Originally released in Japan and Europe for the PlayStation 2 system and later making its way to the PlayStation Portable system, this definitive version of the game will arrive in North America for the PS Vita with a number of improvements and additions helmed by the original developers at Sandlot, including up to four-player online co-op, an entirely new Air Raider class, and a new English dub.

Developed by Sandlot and published by XSEED Games, Earth Defense Force 2: Invaders From Planet Space will launch this fall in North America exclusively for the PS Vita, both in a physical release package and digitally via PlayStation Store. This title has not yet been rated by the ESRB.

New English dub too.
 
HELL YEAH.

And just when I had just about given up hope of a localization and was going to import the sucker on sale.
 
lol, I guess the roach spray teaser meant EDF and not Corpse Party. Very cool that we're getting more of this franchise, and it sounds like the package they've prepared is worth it.
 
I have never played an EDF game, but based on the excitement every time one is announced on GAF, I think I will buy this and give it a shot.

Corpse Party: Blood Drive for Vita was confirmed as well, so maybe it was teasing both.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!1111!!!

PLUS

ZERO!!!!

Bless you XSEED!
 
Finally, something that isn't a loli hentai game. I'm glad someone is bringing it over. I wasn't expecting to get it. I'm looking forward to having a copy of EDF2 that I don't have to go through so many hoops to play, like the European version of the PS2 version. I hope XSEED translates and records all the transmission voices and doesn't cut them completely, like Essential Games did in the PAL release of EDF2.
 
Will buy new and play on my legacy system.
 
So is this a localization of the psp version or was there an updated Vita version released in Japan? I'm a bit unclear from the announcement.

At any rate, I loved the previous Vita game so I will definitely grab this. I'm also excited their doing a physical release.

You should be excited EDF2 is one of the best games in the entire series :) It's also a much better game than the previous EDF game you played on Vita (and that's a great game too!)

More variety, more levels etc.
 
How do people feel about EDF2 vs EDF4? 4 seems better to me, especially on PS4, but I'd like to hear more from people that have really dug into these games, I guess.
