I'll be picking it up; would love to another game to play with friends and seems very interesting.

@billy991 All Dragon Ball Budokai games and Tenkaichi allowed that; has that been removed?

@get2sammyb You think PS4 will get a price drop to $349 this year? From history we can see that every PS home console gets a price drop of at least $50 within the first year, is it reasonable to expect Sony will follow through with it this generation as well? (lol I feel like one of those press reporters).

Edit: I have no idea what the price in £ has been historically, but I guess if you have more knowledge with that I'd still get the picture.

@k_anderson

I have never loved a sub-heading so much in my life.

Bungie day is on my birthday? Nice I guess, though this is the first time there'll be anything for me to celebrate Bungie for on that day

Any multiplayer to speak of?

I won't need it; I own four controllers! Granted only for 2 games thus far (Octodad and Towerfall), but battery life has rarely been a problem.

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine! (Just sang that last Sunday)

I've been playing Child of Light almost every chance I get. When I want a break, though, I've been playing Project M and Naruto Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 on my Wii. Also just started Vagrant Story last night, so I guess that counts!

@danny2kd True, I just can't wait for the backlash though. "Haha Vita sucks it can't provide the exact same experience PS3 can!" For most of us on this site, it seems 2p is more than enough, as long as coop is included at all. For such a large game to be running on Vita already is a miracle; I wouldn't want to have to worry about the game becoming unplayable because of 4p being forced in. Welcome to PushSquare btw!

@20thpaul As with almost every multiplayer Vita game, you'll need 2 carts/downloads. I think the PSP had some games where it could do some weird ad-hoc game sharing mechanic, but to my knowledge this isn't on Vita games.

@MadchesterManc I saw Victory on sale and it got me curious to take a chance on the series. I'll borrow one of the games from a friend of mine (who buys all things Moe) when he comes back to Florida in the fall, since I already want to give the series a shot. As far as my thoughts on it: if the game's good, I'll play it. I neither like nor dislike Moe in games, though it has kept me from picking up a title before (Mugen Souls). Also considering jumping into the Atelier series.

@get2sammyb I thought it had to be something different, usually you're not so overtly unhappy when writing about such games, though it's kind of obvious they're not quite your thing. The name didn't bother me until you mentioned it though, now it's really getting to me :/ Why is there a semicolon? And why is the 1 attached like that? I would have personally preferred Reb1rth or something.

So the shudder and sigh: was this a particularly bad Neptunia game? Or is it over the game's presentation and target audience? I'm legitimately confused there. I'm not judging, just curious.

Either way, nice to see the Vita's getting yet another game. This is definitely the year of the Vita, and though I likely won't pick up this game (I've never tried this series), it's still cool to know that the Vita's influx of games and announcements hasn't really slowed

Ah man: a guy who took on two gods, or a guy who took on two devils.

Tough choice, but I think I'll go with Jude only because of his speed bonus and healing capabilities. Then again, whenever a "Who would Win Wednesdays" comes around, I always imagine how the scenario would play out in PS AllStars, which I don't think is too fair for Heihachi this time around as he's kinda bad in that game.

Love the update, but come on Sony! If they're all about sharing and caring with this new console, then it's only logical to put a gifting option in the store :/ When will that come around, it'd be so much easier to give birthday presents and the like of downloadable games and content.

Either way, great update, but Sony's surprised me with such lack of foresight there. It wouldn't be so bad if they at least mentioned it as a coming feature or something.

I'm interested to see them justify the prison sentence. If more-or-less everyone has a lengthy prison sentence, doesn't it seem kinda pointless to care about it? Really looking forward to the game, but I'm still a bit iffy on that plot point (though the trailer seemed to explain it a tad). I'll find out wen release comes

Sephiroth for sure. Raiden may be tough, but genocidal alien-human hybrids with unfathomable magical power are probably something a little above his capabilities.

@AG_Awesome Holy crap this is true! I just went to see if maybe my Crash Bandicoots were finally downloadable, and they are

Very happy. The linking mechanic was NOT multiplayer-friendly.

You guys are in for a great fighter.

It's entirely possible. Personally, as long as functionality isn't locked behind payments, I'm fine. I don't mind shelling out a bit extra for things like new transitions and whatnot, but I wouldn't like for them to lock out whole features right from the get-go.

Anyone else think they'll be adding some sort of MP3/non-music unlimited support with 1.70? After all, if the editor will allow you to put in your own music, it seems like it should be a given, right?

Bahamut would win. I never liked how feared Alduin was in in Skyrim, he was such a pushover that the first time I fought him I just let my companions solo him while I watched.

@get2sammyb @kensredemption http://piq.codeus.net/static/media/forum_pictures/persona_4_beary_serious_teddie_souji_seta_teddy-hd-wallpaper-321481_717.jpg

Tried the demo, and it's so far I think it's pretty great. The characters look ridiculous enough that I'm considering picking up the manga just to know more about them.

Spike Chunsoft + Square Enix + Capcom?

Someone there must have been smoking some pretty heavy stuff and passed it around. Hope it's at least fun, with all those names attached.

@rastamadeus To be fair with the Nintendo fanbase, I've noticed that many of them believe Nintendo to be the only company to ever innovate, sans MS in one or two areas. I've been told how Sony ripped off nintendo with analog sticks (really?) and that the PS Eye was a ripoff off Kinect. Where do they even get that last part?

That's really my only beef with that fanbase though, besides the occasional "Vita is dead; Wii U is just unrealized potential" troll.

Glad the Unlimited characters for Blazblue costs so little compared to the $7 for them in Continuum Shift. Already grabbed mine and got to work on impossible combos in training mode.

It may also be worth mentioning that this feels surprisingly different from previous Blazblue titles in its fighting. Previous Blazblues favored confirming into long combos with devastating results. While this one certainly still keeps some aspect of that, it seems to favor getting smaller combos in and bringing the opponents health down by degrees instead of all at once. It seems they wanted to go for a game that would likely not be decided by a well-placed combo at mid-health, but one where you need to adapt to your ever-diminishing health bar while remaining offensive.

That'll be cool, as I was planning on picking it up anyways. Couch co-op with loot to tide me over until Diablo 3? Sign me up

Also @DoublezZ01 guess what came in the mail today~ https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/10155477_10202050967371954_1531939744_n.jpg

Finally Crunchyroll. I was just lamenting with a friend the other day about the lack of Crunchyroll on Vita. Now, sleep is a thing of the past!

Towerfall Ascension is really fun. Versus mode rarely gets old, and I love how customizable the matches are.

Quest mode is a great way to chill and hone your skills as well.

I already considered this a game that I'd want to grab within a month or two of release, but I may just pre-order now.

Hard to admit, but I stayed up until 4 in the morning waiting for the store to update @_@ Already panicked, and I seem to have an unbearable itch on my arm and a dry mouth now.

@RaymanFan2 That's the mindset I already have for the whole thing. Seems cool and I may get it for the movies + bonus game aspect of it.

Kinda sad Tales of Symphonia wasn't counted in with last month. Now it has to contend with Infamous: Second Son, and that game will be winning it almost obligatorily (not saying it won't deserve it if it does, obviously).

Oh well, it's well recognized enough; time to let another game in the spotlight I guess

@AVahne I grew to appreciate it a tad more a LONG while after I played it. As I let it sit in my mind, I could at least appreciate the effort and extra look into the story and setting that it provides. Emil is obviously the low point, followed by the major lack of relevance the old main characters had. Nonetheless, it was alright for the story, though picking it up after Symphonia would severely confuse almost anyone expecting another masterpiece.

This sets a good precedent I think, with its price. When you port over something that cost like 99¢ - $1.99 on mobile phones, don't make it $9.99 or even $5.99 really.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyy? D: I'm tired of just Injustice on PS4, please bring us our Guilty Gear already <.<

@charlesnarles Yeah I love the game. Kinda sad though, as I have all these games besides Dead Nation and Unit 13. But they're all good, and I'm glad more people will be able to play them.

Reminds me of how DBZ: Budokai HD Collection included the first game anyways (which is vastly inferior to Budokai 3), but didn't include the second game (which had the quirky transformations like tiencha and gokule).

As long as Uwe Boll stays out of it, it could be an pretty good film.

"Don't you just love how lead characters seem to always get wrapped up in drastic events by mistake?"

Or come up with crazy schemes for the sole reason of BECOMING the main character? http://nisamerica.com/nart/pbombs/2011/169/Asagi_169.jpg

@BornOfEvil A game having "appealing" imagery doesn't denote a perverted target demographic, however some games are so obviously catered to a demographic that it's nearly sickening (take Girl Fight on our very own PSN).

I believe that game companies should target other demographics more often in just about every way. I was surprised to find that Zen Pinball had such a huge following, and Project Diva F did better than I'd have (I'd've?) thought as well. Then we have things like Farming Simulator, and the upcoming Goat Simulator. Then, some games have "strong female leads" but largely detract you from the fact that you are playing a female by just not pointing it out much, e.g, Final Fantasy 13 & 13-2. More female-oriented games may stop some of the eye-rolling when girls hear about killstreaks, dash-cancels, edge-hogging, +78 Onyx Swords, and Ray Spheres.

Incidentally, I watch "Kill la Kill", and while the show most obviously caters strongly to a male audience and is rife with fan service (which is more amusing than sexy anyways), it also throws in a good amount of female-oriented fan service. It's a strange feeling when the shoe is on the other foot.

@get2sammyb Fair enough. Then when I play through this and upload video/pictures I'll be sure to include the 'giant eel thing' tag.

@Charlesnarles @FullbringIchigo That's why I'm conflicted. On the one hand the older FF's had glorious summons, on the other they could make them so much more awesome and overpowered as bosses.

Almost looks like an anime trailer more than a game trailer.

I think this game has a shot at a Western release though. Dynasty Warriors Gundam did well enough after all, and devs seem more keen to bringing over niche PS3 titles than before.

"Giant Eel Thing" is Leviathan, a summon that's in quite a few of the games.

The thing is, seeing Leviathan there really makes me excited for the use of summons in XV. Will they be obtained in fights like that and used at all? Will you be able to summon them to fight for you as a legitimate tactic (unlike in XII and XIII, where summons were largely useless, especially late-game)?

A large part of me hopes they won't be playable though. That they'll just be boss fights that are extremely huge and epic, and will basically wreak havoc like Final Fantasy lore says they can. I'm conflicted here.

I'll be picking up DiveKick, if for no other reason than to have a wacky-weird fighting game and it's only $2.49.

@k_andersen This is a thing we can do without.

I kid though. In all honesty I think it would be pretty good as the game had its fans, and I would buy it to support Square. I can't see myself playing through all that again though.

Catherine was a game that really went far beyond what I expected of it.

Loved it to pieces.

I'd say Squall and Rinoa.

I personally feel that Final Fantasy 8 had one of the best romances out of any Final Fantasies, if because it was a bit more realistic and turbulent. 9 and 10 were pretty good ones, but they really didn't do it much for me because of lack of conflicting interests. 8 didn't have all that many either, but just the sheer fact that it was more a slightly-hectic triangle than a from-the-start couple sells it a little more for me.

Thanks for reminding me I have to buy FF8 from the PS1 classics.
