Haha, this is amazing. He probably has some kind of weird bet going that he can make the logo of his production company finance his next project. Pure brilliant nonsense!
I beta tested for the pc release of this and really enjoyed it overall. I'm a bit disappointed in the cancellation of the Vita version. I know they had technical issues that prevented it, but that was my platform of choice for this. With Crypt of the Necrodancer coming out same day with the promised Vita version in tow, I think I'm buying Crypt.
@Link41x It has to be a known issue. I know I personally called Sony with this issue and was told to use prepaid cards. Their "solution" for their crappy service not working properly is overspend on non-refundable currency cards. I don't want to spend $20 on a prepaid card. I'm an adult. I want to spend $11.99 on my debit card like an adult. They even told me to go to Amazon because they would send me the code instantaneously! Like as instantaneous as taking the money from my account and starting my download?
I backed it and plan on putting my new baby boy's name in the credits (Seems he'll be around 2 when it comes out). Here's hoping they hit their last goal of $5.5 million. Boss rampage is the reward. Boss rushes are a staple of the newer Igavanias, so I really want it to reach that goal. That being said, Igarashi never made a Castlevania at Konami for anything remotely close to $5 million...far, FAR less than that actually. This better be the best one ever.
@JLPick It's both. The movie is a retelling/remaining of the original game's story. The new game is that movie's game...um yeah, I think I got that right.
I will say that I enjoy supporting indie developers. Titan Souls, Hotline Miami, Rogue Legacy and more...I paid for them because I knew I'd enjoy the product and that indie devs need money to grow. However my friends don't see the point in paying for indies and actually ignore indies I'm excited for because "I'll check it out when it's free on PS+." This combined with the fact that they are often right and you get the games for free in a matter off months have made me question whether or not I should start doing that too. It's hard to ignore the money I'm spending to support devs when money is tight and it's all to often free shortly after.
@get2sammyb How can they not afford the games? More people than ever are paying them for the service, as you almost need it to get the most from the ps4.
Instabuy, day one, two copies for my lady and I. We have played every EDF in the west and even imported EDF 2 Portable v2 for Vita in the Japanese two pack last Christmas. Love this series, pure video gaming bliss.
@get2sammyb If I impose a review embargo on that score of yours and market the heck outta my comment, it'll still sell and require less effort, resources and originality!
It is tough as nails, but for fans of Metroidvania platformers need to play this. It's the most atmospheric game since Super Metroid or Symphony of the Night. It actually made me feel like I was slowly unraveling the deeply hidden secrets of an actual ruins sight. The lore and story of the ruins is told to you similarly to Metroid Prime (you use a hand scanner on tablets, walls, hieroglyphics...everything really). The more you scan, the more you get what's going on and what happened.
Easily one of my most anticipated games of the year. Seeing that movie art made me smile like seeing a friend after a few years. Loves me some Ratchet & Clank!
I have a feeling that La-Mulana EX will be a vita igc entry.
Rising Star games tweeted this this morning.
"Date announced tomorrow and it's really soon Keep an eye on PS Blog!"
My reasoning is it's an indie, but not in the spring sale...and they are late on announcing igc...and he says the date will be announced tomorrow on the PS blog and that the date is very soon.
I really hope this game makes it to the west. I know a bunch of people, myself included, that are tired of not getting Dragon Quest games localized. Give us back Dragon Quest Square Enix!
I think chances are higher because of it being handled by Tecmo-Koei in addition to SE. We don't usually miss out on Omega Force games, and Square-Enix would love that money and to troll DQ fans that really want anything at this point. They might even use that awful "testing the waters for fan reception" excuse with a title that won't kill them financially as it's not exactly developed by them, merely licensed.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I can attest that this game series is amazing to screw around with. I played jc2 for over 100 hours with only 16% (if memory serves) completion of the actual story. I still miss sunset overdrive though...
Yeah, that omega was ridiculous. In regards to the speed, I can see this being left alone to pave way for the inevitable super, turbo and hyper editions, which will more than likely be multi-platform. PS4 is the testing platform. Just an opinion based on my armchair perceptions of the series and industry trends these last few years.
Anything except destiny, sick of this last year's ridiculously over-hyped game launches. It gets worse every year. Velocity 2x, wishing I had a north American smash bros demo code, but mostly diablo 3 with my girlfriend. More paragon levels are calling me.
I think he means that there is to much coverage for one short sci-fi shooter. It's annoying. Next we'll have an article titled "Have we been talking about Destiny too much?" and it'll have another poll.
@rastamadeus That's not why, it just feels like a more natural jump with the Dragon Quest characters and world than it does with the Zelda characters and world. I never feel like any spinoff Zelda titles are that great...my opinion is allowed.
As much as I want to support ANYTHING for the Vita, this game just does nothing for me. The art is the quite alienating, not to mention the touchscreen focused gameplay. It's a shame, I buy most Vita exclusives and indies. Hope it does well with other people though.
@HeroOfCybertron I think if you thought about that question, you'd have your answer.
I can't wait for this! It let me download it already from preorder, but says I can't play til 11:00pm my time...grr...I get up at 6:00 am tomorrow for work!
I wish I knew when this was coming out. Crossing my fingers for pre-E3 release. Or Binding of Isaac: Rebirth...or Rogue Legacy...or Hyper Light Drifter.

Re: Hands On: Going Feral with Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands
@sub12 That's EXACTLY what I've been thinking. Mercenaries (PS2/Xbox) was the peak of open world games that gen. Awesome game.
Re: Traditional Japanese RPG I Am Setsuna Is Heading West on PS4
@ShogunRok That's probably true, I heard that as well. What's their excuse for everything else they do? ; )
Re: Traditional Japanese RPG I Am Setsuna Is Heading West on PS4
Really?! No Vita? Okay, I WON'T buy this then. What the heck is up with the guys at Square Enix who decide these things?
Re: Is This a Gundam Game You'd Like to See Come West?
Yes, I have wanted localizations of any of the Gundam Breaker games for the last few years. Day one if it happens, not as interested in VS-Force.
Re: Review: Not a Hero (PS4)
Broforce was another Vita must-play...so sad with these cancellations.

Re: Hardware Review: The Perfect PS4 Hard Drive Upgrade Kit for the Clueless
@FullbringIchigo please don't give Sony any ideas like that. Look at vita memory card prices...
Re: Destiny's Sparrow Racing League Hits Full Speed Today
Wow. No one wants to comment on sparrow Racing League? All right then.
The only thing I want to know, is this event going to be something we can look forward to every now and then like Iron Banner or Trials of Osiris?
Re: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Hijacks PS3 with Trophies

I also love that it ends right as I get to download Axiom Verge!

Re: God of War III Remastered's PS4 Price May Make Olympus Mad
It's been 3 minutes since my classic post about remasters, so I'm remastering it, but it'll have extras.
So...tired...of...remasters. I can't take anymore of them. That is all.
I feel like it's better now. That extra line was cut from the original.

Holy bejezzus! This looks amazing, and feels like less of a stretch with DQ monsters and characters to fit this genre than with the Zelda gang.
