Sega have issued a press release that states the PS Vita version of Jet Set Radio has been delayed until further notice.

The delay has been caused by ‘necessary development optimisations’ and a new date will be announced ‘soon’.

The game was recently released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and the PS Vita version was expected this week as part of the regular Store updates.

Oh come on!

 

[Carl]

Guess Vita still has no games.

 

[Pyrrhus]

Man, how bad must it have been if Sega was unwilling to release it for performance reasons?

 

[SGRU]

Will it have cross buy?

 

[Omikaru]

Well fuck. Was looking forward to playing that next week.

 

[Kum0]

Resubmission? Moving it to another nation to develop?

SEGA... To be this good takes AGES!

 

[Grisby]

Was gonna buy this today. Hope they don't just cancel it altogether.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Fuuuuuuck. I was looking out to play it today.

It could've been a bug that Sony QA spotted and SEGA couldn't get it fixed in time with their original projected release date. The game's been playable at public events so it exists.

 

[Canis lupus]

Will it have cross buy?

Unfortunatly no. :/

 

[SGRU]

Unfortunatly no. :/

Won't buy then. :|

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Well thank God for Virtue’s Last Reward! ^_^

If it weren’t for that I'd be upset by this news.

 

[graywolf323]

well that sucks hopefully it's not a long delay

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Can't delay something that doesn't even have a release date (Japan).

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Buy Dokuro instead.

 

[mrklaw]

THREE DAYS before release? What the fuck? They must have known about this, they probably hadn't even submitted it for cert if they were still working on it, they'd know it wouldn't hit the release date at least a couple of weeks ago.

I'm tempted to punish them buy buying it on PS3 or steam, but that won't work :/

That's what people did with Skyrim. LOL.

[Blue Submarine No. 6]

Damned frustrating. I was looking forward to playing that game tonight...

To be this shite, takes ages. They do the same with their PC delays.

I'm pissed off that I've waited for this rather than buying the Steam version.

 

[Shinriji]

They have until October 30 to release the game, since I only wanted the game to boost the $100/$20 promotion on the PSN.

If released later, I will wait for the eventual Sega Sale for the PS3.

 

[lazybones18]

They must have read the 6.5 review from Game Informer

 

[Dead Prince]

Vita has no

 

[2+2=5]

It passed from "d1" to "maybe", too many good games are coming.

 

[Data West]

How are those Anarchy Reigns US optimizations going?

 

[OmegaZero]

How were impressions on the Vita version? Are the reasons for this obvious?
This isn't really surprising to me, but I haven't been keeping track of the Vita version after I read the impressions for the PSN version.

 

[Eusis]

Guess that's ruled out for the October promo then. Going to double check what's out the rest of the month, though I could probably just close it off with Dokuro and Monster World IV.

 

[SmokyDave]

At least this one has only been 'delayed'. I fully expect the Android and iOS releases to quietly disappear, never to be heard of again.

 

[Data West]

At least give Sega a little credit.

They're trying more than most of the other third parties with the system. Maybe they realized what everyone else is doing...

 

[djplaeskool]

How are those Anarchy Reigns US optimizations going?

Yo damn.

 

[marc^o^]

They must be waiting for Vita to build a userbase during Christmas.

 

[golduck342]

They must be tightening up the framerate on Bantam Street...

Damn I was so hyped to get it. I'm about 5 Graffiti Souls away from 100% on PS3. It's been fun, as frustrating as the game can be! CanI preorder and get my $10 towards my $100?? C'mon Sony!

EDIT: Honestly though if it ends up being a better game, take as long as needed. But please don't half ass these optimizations just to get the game through QA

 

[Miker]

How are those Anarchy Reigns US optimizations going?

damn.

 

[Takao]

They must be waiting for Vita to build a userbase during Christmas.

Given this is a digital-only port of a Dreamcast game something tells me that isn't the case.

 

[Mechazawa]

How are those Anarchy Reigns US optimizations going?

Did anyone ever actually claim that would come with optimizations? I thought that was a pretty clear cut "WE HAVE NO MONEY" from Sega.

 

[Erasus]

eh I have it on PC. So glorious in 1080p 8xAA

Though maybe its the same problem as on the 360 and ps3, how it reads data

 

[Eusis]

On the other hand, Sega.

 

[Data West]

Enough money to get that sweet Danica Patrick and Wreck It Ralph deal.

 

[xKilltheMx]

...MOTHER. FUCK. Ugh.

 

[mrklaw]

I know, I'll get my dreamcast out of the loft and replay it. I'll get the same retro buzz and sega don't get any more of my money

 

[we.are.the.armada]

Good, better late than lacking.

 

[SpaceBridge]

Oh, here we go. Didn't take long.

[joeygreco1985]

CRAZY UNFOUNDED STAB-IN-THE-DARK PREDICTION:

They're holding it to be released free for PS+


YOU READ IT HERE FIRST!!

 

[The Grim Heaper]

THREE DAYS before release? What the fuck?

If we're talking NA users, it was actually supposed to come out today. So a few hours before release. :lol
