Support NeoGAF

[Hugstable]

Why isn't there custom music support? I know the blog post mentions licensing issues, but issues with what? The PS4 plays Mp3s, and that's all it needs to do.

Awwwww really? That was one of the coolest features on the PC version, really hope they can find a way to get it in cause it really gives the game the content it needs as you can play through the levels with your own songs and beat patterns instead of just the regular music. Don't get me wrong, the regular music is beyond fucking amazing, but just being able to create endless content basically by using any song in the game will be a bit missed. There has to be some way they could do it couldn't they?

Please have a platinum trophy~

I think they use a third party software to analyze songs and generate the beats. That's probably the issue.

The trailer mentions playing with your own MP3s so surely custom music is in?

This is pretty damn confusing. Got an employee saying you can't in the PS Blog comments section, and the trailer saying you can... If I had to guess, I'd go with the trailer.

Edit: Sorry, it's not a Sony employee, but an employee from the developer... I guess they're right and the trailer is wrong, then.

Crypt of the Necrodancer is a very mediocre Rogue-like with a rhythm mechanic thrown on top of it.
If you like Rogue Likes but are not into rhythm games, don't even bother.

I think it's a good roguelike with a small scope.

The answers on the blog were from a Brace Yourself Games employee. They just used the old launch trailer and slapped a PS logo on it, so that part is most likely a mistake.

Yeah, just edited my post after re-reading the blog post. Sorry about that.

I guess custom music is out, then.

It's unfortunate but I personally never used the feature much because the included soundtrack is great and fits so well. I won't miss it.

Same here. Also, the interface for setting up custom soundtracks wasn't very good at the time. Haven't checked lately.

Trailer mentions play with your own MP3s. Pretty cool they got that to work on PS4/Vita as well.

!!!

I had no idea. Interest rising.

 

[YianGaruga]

Got confirmation that the trailer is wrong

 

[Dangerblade]

You'd think something as simple as that would be checked before going public. :/

That's unfortunate. As much as I love the OST and the two remixes that come with the game, I get a bit tired of them during extended sessions.

 

[Planet]

Fine, saved me some money, kthxbye!

 

[Modest Mauser]

I was literally just thinking about how much I'd love to be able to play this on the go. Will gladly double dip.

The game will be ported by Blitworks who are also working on Super Meat Boy for PS4/Vita and worked on Bastion, OlliOlli, FEZ and Spelunky ports in the past. Probably couldn't ask for a better studio to do it.

Great news.

Blitworks are the Bluepoint of indie ports. They always deliver a great port.

Purchased on Vita and downloaded. It's cross-buy, and there is a small PS Plus discount.

RHYTHMORTIS ON THE GO

This is great news.

 

[Occam]

Played a couple of runs on PS4, quite enjoying it. It has cross saving, too, so I'll continue on Vita later.

 

[eastx]

Has anyone tested the Vita version for PS TV compatibility?

 

[AEREC]

game is perfect for the vita.

 

[eastx]

Here's the first 40 minutes of the PS4 version, during which I managed to complete the first zone. Please check it out:

Was so close to double dipping if it included custom music support. Hell, I was ready to finally buckle down and buy a 32GB Vita card just for this.

Now I'll just have to hope and wait that BYG fixes the interface problems with the PC version.
