I'm more angry about the Metal Garurumom/War Greymon with young girl trend I've been seeing from them lately.
Though this is still crazy
poorly communicated
Like Sword Art Online? Sales were big in the West regardless of the early asian penetration.
I think it's cute that they believe that withholding the Vita release will encourage us to buy the PS4 version instead.
Let's not forget that Cyber Sleuth's localized work wasn't very well translated when it comes to the mistakes in Next Order's oddly locked away English version...mainly because it raises the question as to why Bandai was so unclear about whether the Vita version would be localized were a version of the game currently receiving some form of an English script. This whole situation has been incredibly bizarre and poorly communicated, to the point where I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually come out on the Vita in the west a week from now (even though it's not).
This was bound to happen as if people don't buy it from US/EU it will be costly for them to put it on PSN store
I have read that there is a patch already, to use the english text and its working, not sure if all that is true
I wonder if Bandai Namco US would have some control over Bandai Namco SEA. Maybe this is another game where SEA was in charge of the localization, but US stopped them from releasing an early english Vita version to make the western PS4 version the only way to experience the game in english.

They didnt even have to release in West if money was a issue. Releasing it as a option with Chinese version would do it.This was bound to happen as if people don't buy it from US/EU it will be costly for them to put it on PSN store

Perhaps it's just me, but I didn't notice anything particularly wrong with that? It wasn't fluid but it was more than playable.
That Wargreymon model... I... I need some private time...
If it really was that bad, they wouldn't have released in Japan and even in Asia after it. What thought process is even needed when they thought it was a suitable product for those regions? It didnt even have to be released in West. Now, Unity doesnt run good in PS4 also so it's unlikely it will be 60fps.Sorry, that was to show the PS4 improvements, not to demonstrate the problems on Vita.
Of course the Vita version isn't unplayable, but the release was plagued with muddy textures, bugs, and a frame rate that would drop in cut scenes and battles. It just looked unpolished and I imagine the Unity engine was giving them trouble.
When they decided to bring Next Order over on the PS4, they had to have realized a lot more work needed to be put into the port this time, and they didn't want a gulf of difference between the two. An option is always better, imo, and Vita owners could accept the trade-off, but I can see the thought process behind it.

there is nothing smart about thisexactly
smart business decision from namco but yeah this news is fishy

I would assume if you have Henkaku if someone doesn't already have this up and running in English they will soon.
There are some Vitas in NA. It sold poorly but still.
Obligatory.Like Sword Art Online? Sales were big in the West regardless of the early asian penetration.
Sauce?
That would be the most pathetic thing, yet I could believe it.
While I understand this as a concept, there are other games that have released on multiple platforms simultaneously despite some platforms being obviously inferior. Take Senran Kagura Estival Versus for example.The PS4 version is going to be the Decode to the original aka a "super" version. Releasing the original right next to it on the Vita wouldn't look great is what I'm saying.
The English stuff being in the Chinese version is another level of weird to this whole mess. I don't know what to think about that.

I don't know much about that series. Did the PS4 version have added story missions and stuff like that? Or was it just the average "more powerful console does things better" sort of deal?

Do you know that....Bandai Namco have actually done this before? See Sword Art Online:LOST SONG.The PS4 version is going to be the Decode to the original aka a "super" version. Releasing the original right next to it on the Vita wouldn't look great is what I'm saying.
More missions alongside the regular better framerate and more stuff able to be displayed at the same time.I don't know much about that series. Did the PS4 version have added story missions and stuff like that? Or was it just the average "more powerful console does things better" sort of deal?
It's smart to fully localize a particular version of a game, which involves financial investment, proceed to dummy out the translation, and not release it domestically? You're not very good at this, are you?exactly

It has some exclusive missions
Do you know that....Bandai Namco have actually done this before? See Sword Art Online:LOST SONG. Both games were released at the same time in west and yet they never told us a word about missing content for Vita version.
Originally were on PS3/Vita but western release is only Vita/PS4. PS4 version has more content (/story) since it's the "Directors Edition" in Japan.
At this point, with 2017 releases going forward, I'm pretty sure Bandai Namco US doesn't give a fuck about Vita owners anymore.
