God Eater 2 coming to Vita
- Thread starter Kagari
- Start date
That sounds pretty cool
Short version:
Way less grinding, faster pace, overall easier game than a normal Monhan, really competent IA, great music, soso history -depending on taste though-, great/weird weapon design, could get some improvements on scenarios and monster design (IMO). Really enjoyable game.
You don't need to be a Monster Hunter fan to like God Eater, actually is quite the opposite, you could really like God Eater without liking/having the patience for Monster Hunter.
2 could be a really spectacular game with the right improvements. Double stick support will be really welcome.

This is good. Its like a mini Monster hunter sales wise.
True. SCEJ's running a small sclae marketing campaign for it so they'll probably do one of their dev interviews/walkthroughs on their blog. The game comes out soon enough that I'll make note to see if it isn't just a Vita to PSP connection.

I just struggle to see how releasing on these particular 2 systems gives it much (if any) chance of being localised

GE1 had some great graphics, and unique levels. Interesting story too.
It also had UFOTABLE FMVS! Omg!!!!
Yes but Famitsu has never delivered this little pre TGS news. Im not expecting much. TGS felt like it was getting worse last year anyways.
Too few and far between, especially with how god awful the normal cutscenes were. Hopefully, they got a bigger budget this time to do better cutscenes.
Europe got Burst for the "dead" PSP in a moment when nobody was releasing PSP games anymore
No reason for thinking 2 won't come (and even if it doesn't, region free FTW).

Will be interesting to see what the sales figures prove regarding the relationship, or lack thereof, between the GE/MH fanbases. Not gonna be a Vita savior, though.

Even the dead PSP had far life in it than vita does currently though, there was at least some sort of a user base to sell to, I can't see a niche game being localized for vita next year

The concept of "Vita Savior" is ridicule on itself. Let that crap for Media-Create discussions.
Vita needs games. Period.

Vita definitely needs games, but is this what people mean when they say that? Vita needs exclusive games, not multiplatform releases also releasing on PSP.

Ah, yes, I forgot, Vita is dead and buried, no point of releasing anything for it, ever.
We will see, don't we?

Is Go Shiina still doing the soundtrack? I feel bad, but that's kind of all I care about with this series.
I don't enjoy playing armchair CEO, so I just can speak for myself.
I really liked the first one. If I can get the sequel with improved graphics and double stick, that's good news for me.
Is that what Vita needs? I have no idea, I'm just a consumer and as consumer I'm glad of this. That's all I can say.

Hopefully it releases before Monster Hunter 4, or this will likely be a disaster for Namco.

you mean like that moe fishing game that got announced as being localised last week?
Ragnarok Odyssey releases in the west soon too
God Eater is a bigger franchise than most of the stuff that has already been localised or is on the way in localisation.

what are you talking about ? they releasing it on the same day as MH4 like they did with tales vs FF in the west.
it's only 20 bucks on psn! hit it up asap.
From what I've heard (which I should state isn't anything concrete), prepare to be very wrong, haha. Dokuro, Moe Moe Fishing and a few others have made the jump already.
Medarot 7 Gold for US Vita!

Dokuro was also announced to be localized a few weeks ago. I think indeed that God Eater 2 has a good chance of being localised based on previous Vita localisations, i agree.
Don't forget Orgarythm and Picotto Knights
Heck I think there's a good chance of being localized BECAUSE it's on the vita going by it's track record so far
Well, the first Medarot game got a "Perfect Edition" release for Wonderswan ... It ain't happening. I'm okay with that though, since I've heard Medarot 7 uses a lot of AA so there wouldn't be anything to gain by being on Vita.
The bullet customization really floored me, there was so much you could do.
You can do pretty much anything from the basic stuff you would expect to things like having the bullets bend their trajectory, spin, adding elements, having multiple bullets fire at once while being able to customize the time of contact and property of each bullet, the list goes on and on. The list of options can be pretty overwhelming.
There were tons upon tons of combinations with kickass effects/uses. Had this really cool one that was sort of close range and spun really fast when fired, was so good at breaking boss armor.
The fact that you could go ranged at any time was such a huge plus over Mon Hun, switching between melee and ranged on the fly felt so right.

LKS isn't a weird localisation imo because the first sold better in the west
