Lock if old.

 

[Takao]

Once it was announced for PS4 I figured a localization would be an obvious thing. It doesn't look like Japan is at all interested in that version.

 

[Isotope]

Please
Please
PLEASE

 

[djplaeskool]

Kind of a given that the PS4 version would make it over.
That edition will see a lot more interest overseas.

This won't prevent me from importing it next month, but it's cool to see it localized.

GE2 is godlike.

 

[Ridley327]

I wonder if they're going to keep calling it Gods Eater or revert back to the original title. I don't think anyone would have gotten angry about any potential blasphemy even back then.

More free publicity if they did XD

 

[Ridley327]

The funny part was that it was a last minute change, since the VA never once refers to themselves as Gods Eaters, even though the subtitles reflect the change. It was such a silly thing to do.

 

[twisted h3art]

Hope it comes out this year in NA would buy day one.

 

[Ryan95]

Please be on Vita as well.

 

[YianGaruga]

Please be on Vita as well.

I really can't see them only releasing the PS4 version here.

 

[Machinehead]

OH YES PLEASE COME!

 

[Napalm_Frank]

How does this compare to Toukiden (Kiwami)?

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

YES thanks bamco

 

[Falk]

Last I heard it was still an undecided thing.

Trademark looks like a pre-emptive sign though, in case.

 

[darkside31337]

I really can't see them only releasing the PS4 version here.

Theres been precedent (One Piece Warriors 2) before for Bamco games to not get released on Vita in the US when it was released in other regions. Wouldn't be that surprised if it came over as PS4 only.

 

[Parakeetman]

How does this compare to Toukiden (Kiwami)?

Its different. As on top of the melee weapon you also have your gun mode. Though it is one of the other good hunting genre titles.

Example footage.

Toukiden is closer to Monster Hunter generally, than God Eater is.

It depends on what you like style wise too.

The most unique feature about the game would be the bullet crafting system, which allows you to create various shot types to use with your gun mode. Though will take a bit of advancing in the story and reading faqs to fully understand how to make the best use of it.

Older not great quality footage but gives you an idea of what can be made with the system. Though some things might have changed since this is GE:B footage and not GE:2

[Ridley327]

How does this compare to Toukiden (Kiwami)?

Very different. Toukiden is much more like Monster Hunter for its mechanics, whereas God Eater takes more cues from something like Kingdom Hearts, so while the combat isn't deep, there's a much stronger emphasis on mobility and being able to switch from melee to ranged at will.

hopefully they will distribute also the Vita version over here!

I guess you could be right. SAO seemed to be quite successful so maybe they'll the the Vita more seriously now. It shouldn't really be that much more work to put a Vita version out, at least digitally.

 

[Kane1345]

First MH4U on 3DS then the news of Kiwami then Rage Burst might be coming. This is a great time to love this genre

 

[maouvin]

This is good.

Should I bother finishing GEB for the story, or is there a handy summary on GE2 (and GE2RB I hope)?

 

[lazyproblems]

Yeah, the PS4 version greatly improved the odds. Great to hear though! Hope it gets a 2015 release.

Please be on Vita as well.

It most likely will. Whether it's physical or digital only is probably the better question.

 

[Ogawa-san]

This is a great time to love this genre

2015 if you love the genre

 

[raven777]

hope they bring VIta version as well, in retail form.

 

[Hero Prinny]

I was just talking to a gaffer about this game yesterday. I hope NA gets the vita version as well, thats the one I want. Are the games cross play in japan?

 

[2+2=5]

I told you that i would be localized many times but gaf is always pessimist for no reason.

 

[Kresnik258]

Well then...

I spent about 25 hours in GEB. I'll probably check out the sequel for the right price.

 

[Prelude.]

Still can't get excited about it after knowing that they re-used tracks from GEBurst but it was just a matter of time.
Will bother only if the Vita version is physical, but I'm not that worried about it, seeing what they've been doing lately it should be.

 

[Yasumi]

This pleases me greatly. Will preorder as soon as it goes live. God Eater 2 was awesome, now I won't need to import RB.

 

[Falk]

Seems like a non-critical point against enjoying an excellent expansion to an excellent game coming out on non-handhelds for the first time. D:

 

[Kane1345]

2015 if you love the genre

lol so true

 

[Hikami]

Sweet, that just leaves Digimon then.

I hope they don't end up calling it "Gods Eater" again though..

 

[Prelude.]

Seems like a non-critical point against enjoying an excellent expansion to an excellent game coming out on non-handhelds for the first time. D:

They re-used a lot of other things but it is a critical point when you listened to those tracks for 40 hours. I don't know how I'll be able to stomach them again.

And it still is and will look like a handheld game and, if anything, being on a handheld is a plus for a quest-based hunting game.

[Lain]

Hopefully it's true. I want God Eater 2 (and on my Vita).

 

[Tizoc]

Oh thank goodness, if we get a retail US release for Vita, I can finally get rid of GE1 and save 1 GB.
GE1 has been in my backlog for so long :/

 

[Uthred]

I seem to recall being able to import from GE1, is that still a thing? Might finally get around to finishing GE1

 

[GloriousBagel]

I'll be picking up both the PS4 and Vita version if true.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Based PS4 SKU.

 

[Kyoufu]

No, you can only import from the original GE2.

 

[crinale]

Man PS4 & Vita are really helping e/a out to get Japanese third party support..

 

[Shiina]

Vita please

Or better both versions with crossplay!

 

[Memory]

March 27th no doubt.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Not surprising. It took the Burst expansion on PSP to get localized for the West. I see the same here. Nothing to do with PS4.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

March 27th no doubt.

Same week as bloodborne & Toukiden !

 

[DigitalDevilSummoner]

I'm keeping an eye on both this and Tookiden for the PS4. With MH's popularity in japan I feel there is a party I am missing !

 

[Meffer]

I'm also for the Vita.

 

[DannyDanger]

So let me get this straight...

I'm gonna get to play:

J-Stars Victory VS
One Piece Pirate Warriors 3
Disgea 5
Persona 5

AND

God Eater Rage Burst

in English

on Ps4

[Inuhanyou]

I've been waiting for the announcement of the PS4 version...so what are the requirements for getting into this series? Should you play a game before this one or..?
