Tearaway Unfolded hits PS4 on 9th September.

The vita version was amazing and I'd buy it three more times, but part of it (aside from the stellar art and incredible music) was in how crazily well it used every feature of the console, turning what you could call initially "a bunch of gimmicks" into waaayyy more than the sum of their parts.

I know that this isn't a 1:1 port, that there is new content, and that the old content is supposedly "converted" to DS4-related mechanics, but I'm a bit skeptical that they could find equivalents as engaging at the VITA-based mechanics.

More specifically, would tearaway be the same without putting my own face in it. Because I won't buy a PS4 cam just for that.

I'll probably buy it anyway just to give more money to something that has "tearaway" written on it, but i'd like to be reassured regarding that. Anyway, even as a "lesser" version mechanics-wise I'd probably still enjoy it just for the heck of having the visual side at 1080p and 60 fps.
 
That PS4 cover is doing it no favors. It's kinda hard to see what's happening without really studying it. The PSVita boxart is so much more iconic and inviting:

I'm hoping the family friendly nature of this title helps inflate its sales numbers and gives it some legs. It really deserves it.
 
It's so nice to hear that soundtrack again. Was the soundtrack ever released? Never found it on Spotify, iTunes and others so assume not?
 
The $70 physical seems placeholder. It's $55 on PSN and the Australian edition comes with less preorder bonuses (the 8 decorations down to 4 etc.)

I hope so.

Either way I'll probably bite if EB gets the plushie special edition mentioned on the EU PS Blog. I need an Atoi to go along with my yarn Yoshi amiibo.
 
I don't want to be that guy, but has there been any word on a possibility for a VR mode? Even if just for some chilling in certain areas, I think it could be so ridiculously awesome.

Regardless, this will be amazing, I just personally would love to experience this world as if it were real.

Media Molecule and Tarsier have been experimenting with VR devkits but it'd have to be added later or made standalone like MotorStorm 3D Rift.

I hope Tearaway Unfolded gets updated to support VR.

They'd have to remove or greatly tone down DoF, certain filters and rework the UI but Mm and Tarsier are already researching this stuff so fingers crossed.
 
I already feel sad at how low the sales are gonna be for this game.. :( People complained it was just on Vita and now that its on Ps4 they're all like 'whatever its a remaster' ... I think people forgot how well this reviewed. Day one for me
 
Amazon.com has new screenshots, but they're very heavily compressed.

I grabbed the 1920 images by changing the Amazon URL but there may be a way to get even higher quality.

It looks so good ! What an amazing art style, the kind of game that'll never look outdated. I loved the Vita game, it's the game that really put MM on my radar (I liked LBP but not that much) : everything comes together so beautifully. Sure you can find some flaws here and there but this is the kind of game that reminds me that it's the whole package that matters.

I wonder why they put Atoi in the spotlight this time. Do they aim more at a female audience ?

My punishment for buying it physical day one, I suppose.
In most countries you got it there too (I did in the UK) - there were two pre-order/day one packs depending on retailers, the soundtrack was in one of them. I believe the other was the one with the Atoi and Iota costumes for LBP.
 
I played through the original Tearaway on Vita over the 2013 holiday break and loved it. I may pick this up at some point.
