Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Gravity Rush 2 coming to NA, Gravity Rush Remastered is digital only
- Thread starter Kagari
- Start date
Not sure what "Even" means in this post, since GoW is many, many times more popular than Gravity Rush.

Just... why? Thank god for Play-Asia at least.
Pretty sure that re-release bombed.
Come on. GoW is far more popular than Gravity Rush, and isn't GoW III one of the best selling games on the PS3.
Then that gives them even less of a reason to have a physical copy for NA.

I...don't really think Rush Remastered needs a physical release.
And I liked the first game.

I blame everyone for not buying the physical release of Tearaway Unfolded.

Well I think we kind of all saw that coming, but god damn it still stings.

And so did Tearaway. Not sure I fault them going for a three peat.

It's not really news that SCEA has a policy against individual retail releases of remasters.
...oh, duh, forgetting about GoW III and Last of Us. Never mind!

At least it's 29.99. Had they said digital only at kept the 39.99 price I would have shook my head in disappointment. Thankfully for those who want retail, getting a copy should be pretty easy. I'm guessing the bomba of Tearaway on PS4 probably led to this in NA.
Considering that, and considering that GoW is really popular in NA, then why would they go physical with GR1 this time?
GR will too.
I dunno, I just feel like we're really lucky to get this at all. Hard to complain about not getting it in a specific format.
I mean that stronger gravity should make her faster, while weaker gravity should make her slower.
OMG, are you serious? Hell, I don't care if this was the only way to get the retail version, I'd gladly buy an US version of that LE, & I platinum'd the Vita version including all the bonus DLC.Reminder that this is what Japan gets in limited quantities.
Hearing all the DLC from the Vita version is included for free was nice to hear, but $30 for igital only? Eeehhhh, I might give in when it goes on sale for about $20 or so, which considering how many times it was discounted & even was on PS+, think it'll lower in price eventually.
Because the PS4 sequel has potential to be marketed better. You have to ask yourself how well the 1st game even sold in NA.
They don't just make these decisions to piss off the fanbase there is usually a logical reason why they do this stuff, and it's based and the market.
This isn't going to stop anyone who is interested in the game to buy it. If you're so inclined you can import it.

Digital only is pretty weak, I think. If it could be physical on the Vita, than why not for the PS4 which has sold considerably more units?
But it goes hand in hand with SCEA's lack of marketing for both titles. Doesn't mean they should repeat that here when they're clearly banking on the PS4 userbase to boost the series where the Vita couldn't.
That or they did their research and projections and concluded that the cost associated with a physical release in this region wasn't worth it? They are in the business of making money. They aren't going to shutter a sure thing just to spite people. Count your lucky stars you're even getting the game. Same thing with Yakuza 5. People complain and complain that it's digital only but when the choice is digital or nothing, you should take what you can get.
But by all means, be stubborn and don't buy a game that you really want because it's digital. That'll really show Sony how popular Gravity Rush is in North America.

I just scoured the EU blog equivalent and I'm happy to see that it's at least getting a physical release in my country.

I understand them releasing a GOW 3 remaster on disc over Gravity Rush. GOW sold well and pushed hardware.
I'm shocked they did a physical release with Tearaway. It bombed. This will most likely do the same. You're just upset because it's something you're interested but it makes sense.
Glad to finally have some confirmation on the sequel, not that I doubted it was arriving. Too bad that the remaster is digital only, but unless I'm misunderstanding, it's getting a physical edition in Europe, isn't it? In that case, people who really want a disk can import from there; this isn't a Fatal Frame V situation.

Why not just release Gravity Rush Remastered as part of Gravity Rush 2, like Nintendo/Platinum did with Bayo 1/2?
TheDarkKnight774
Member
Yes they did.
because gravity rush remastered is out early next year, gravity rush 2 is out ???
Not everyone is as generous as Nintendo.
It's releasing this digital only going to motivate people to buy GR2 on retail?

They released the game in EU for an RRP of 69,99
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see that it would bomb
The game is a media darling but nothing more

As someone living in the UK, it sounds like this isn't the first time SCEA has made a stupid decision; by the looks of it, there are other examples. Just curious, what are they?
