TGS 2015: Just How Good Does Gravity Rush Look on PS4?

Not bad at all

by Sammy Barker Thu 17th Sep 2015

PlayStation Vita favourite Gravity Rush is defying physics and falling headfirst onto the PlayStation 4 – in remastered form, of course. And in order to celebrate that fact, Sony is showing off the port at TGS 2015 this week, with attendees encouraged to get hands-on time with Kat and Dusty's topsy-turvy adventure.

While we've seen plenty of screenshots of the port, DualShockers managed to commit some gameplay to tape, and you can watch the opening 15 or so minutes from the release below. To be honest, it's not the best demonstration of the outing's upside down action, as it focuses on tutorial stuff – but boy does that apple at the very start look ripe.

The title's due out later this year in Japan, with a Western release set to follow in February. And don't forget that Gravity Rush 2 is also in development – exclusively for the PS4.

It's definitely worth a playthrough. Still the best Vita game, imo.

Do you know if we'll be able to control Gravity by tilting the PS4 controller?

If not, then they might as well stop including an accelerometer in their controllers at all because if THIS game won't even use them, there's no point in even having them.

Don't know what the gameplay will entail, I haven't seen any reports on that to be honest. It should at least have the option in there to tilt the controller but I also hope there's an option not to have it. That part of the game actually drove me out of my mind.

I did like this game though found the controls a bit fiddly on the vita. Will prob pick it up on PS4 too as I feel it'll control better with DS4...

Good to see a high quality port with a bit of luck this will become new IP between the boring COD, BF, FIFA IP's.

@Gamer83 @JaxonH Yes, you can control the gravity by tilting the controller.

Thanks for the info. It wouldn't have made sense not to be able to tilt the controller although I'm sure it will drive me crazy just like when I had to tilt the Vita. Fortunately that wasn't a huge part of the game, and I can't wait to play this game again early next year.
