The gameplay in the Japanese demo was fantastic, but I'm going to have to side with Toto this time around. Some of those textures don't look too hot, and it's very obvious that this game does not run at native resolution.

Spoiler

Will still buy the digital version on release day.

 

[Gamespawn]

I'm pretty sure people can put 5 bucks to preorder now and come up with 40 in 12 weeks. thats like 3 bucks a week.

 

[Gamespawn]

I really hope this will be like LBPV where first week buyers on PSN got the DLC anyway.

 

[GAMERG0D]

Is blue and orange a 'thing' on boxarts or something?

I thought it was native rez?

 

[ZeroAKA]

I thought it was native rez?

Most definitely not, Uncharted resolution at best based on my experience with the demo.

 

[Vandiger]

Way too many logos.

Any AA? How is the framerate?

 

[jaundicejuice]

How was the Japanese release received?

 

[RoKKeR]

Great news! I was waiting on a localization announcement. Looking forward to this.

 

[ZeroAKA]

Any AA? How is the framerate?

If there was AA, I couldn't tell. The framerate seemed very solid though. I don't remember encountering any dips.

How was the Japanese release received?

It's not out in Japan yet.

 

[Ratrat]

How was the Japanese release received?

It's not out. March 7th.

 

[Mejilan]

Haven't really followed the JP release at all.
I remember that when word and screens first hit, hope and wishful thinking had preliminarily pegged this as the Vita's Souls-a-like.

Did that ever pan out? If not, what kind of game is this, actually?

 

[Barakov]

So, are we able to pre-order from anywhere to get the JP voice track?

 

[Bullza2o]

Whoa! It will be a Happy Birthday to me indeed!

I hope this is on Amazon as well.

You should take a lot at the demo impressions thread. Lots of screenshots, gameplay videos, and impressions

From the (user-made) demo screenshots, it seems like there is pretty good AA.

Its just the ground texture are really strange. The quality of the texture depends on where your character is located. Online is smooth as butter tho.

 

[Viola of the Abyss]

Wow, that box art is incredibly boring.

There... SCEE read this comment and now they won't provide us with that reversible cover
Seriously though, I might just buy the Japanese release for this one

30 frames or was it higher? Sorry, I feel annoying asking these questions.

 

[Gravijah]

Been excited since Day 1. Glad to see it's only a month later.

 

[test_account]

I would have made the logo smaller, so the resemblance with generic MH boxarts would have been even more uncanny.

Out of curiousity, why would you do that change? What difference do you think it would make if the logo was smaller?

 

[we.are.the.armada]

Holy shit, now that is how you do a box art

 

[Yjynx]

can't wait. So when we're going to get the demo?

 

[Aquamarine]

Is blue and orange a 'thing' on boxarts or something?

Yes. It's basic color theory.

 

[GeoramA]

So much Vita goodness today!

Love the box art. Makes it seem like one batshit-crazy game.

 

[vikingvessel]

Great news. I wasn't expecting it that early for some reason. Box art hits the spot and that is easily one of my favorite logos since the SNES days, if not earlier. What a tasty callback. It already looks cool twenty years from now.

 

[rockman zx]

Awesome news, worldwide release, thanks Sony.

 

[Takao]

Expecting the English VO to be terrible.

Sony's games rarely suffer from poor voice acting... ?

 

[Eusis]

Sony's games rarely suffer from poor voice acting... ?

For whatever reason a lot of people will still insist on sticking with the Japanese VA. I just hope "it's the original performance" or "I don't like the English performance so I'll use the one I don't understand" is more common than "Japanese VA is just better" now.

 

[ajim]

Hopefully there's an Aus release set and preorder bonus similar incomming?

Me wants it.

This is the one I'd most likely go with. I'm not that fussed though, I won't be pre-ordering if the price isn't right regardless of the extras.

 

[Mdk7]

Day one, glad now i know when i'll be turning on my PSVita again.

 

[SweetTeddie]

People who care about the JP voice work would probably buy the game at launch anyways. At least they're offering it to those who want it.

 

[Ashler]

Will this be the game that finally makes me put down Dark souls?

 

[Bikram]

Just curious. What would be the right price for you?

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Nice, that release date is a lot sooner than expected. I'm not too thrilled about paying for voice overs unless you pre-order though... Anyway, will be there day one. Better release an English demo soon Sony, I need this!

 

[hongcha]

Making the jp voices a preorder bonus is a smart move. Seems like an easy way to increase first week sales.

 

[Resilient]

Will buy a Vita and this if there is a Vita drop.

 

[Number45]

Just curious. What would be the right price for you?

Honestly I have no idea. I'm not the type of person that usually attaches value based on whether the product is physical or not - it's just that £12 is outside of my impulse buy range, particularly given my current backlog.

EDIT: I'm in the wrong thread, replying to the wrong post about the same kind of question.

Real answer: I think for £30 I'd pre-order, maybe £35 at a stretch.

To all the GameStop-phobic people here, Amazon is offering the bonuses

looks way too busy.

Yeah needs more single hero in the middle looking down but with his eyes up, ya know something unique and eye catching.

 

[KennyLinder]

Will this be the game that finally makes me put down Dark souls?

I am wondering the same. In fact, more importantly, will this be the game that finally makes me want to buy a PS Vita.

This is basically Monster Hunter, right?

Wait a sec, this has online multiplayer?

day1-ed!

 

[BrokenEchelon]

I kept forgetting about this...it actually looks really cool. I had no idea Inafune was actually involved in making a game instead of whining about Capcom.

Why is this suprising ?

Music is really shaping up nicely. They seem very proud of the music for this game, and they have every reason to be.
