Same here. So that leans me towards the PS4 version
I'd ignored child of light up to now - not a huge rayman fan either. But I just finished Valiant Hearts and that UBIart engine is just so good I want to play another game using it.

How long until Aksys' announcement?
Yeah, I'm thinking I'll get a 2000 for JP, and I have a Playstation TV preordered. (wasn't really planning on having an EU account)
None. PS4 uses their own modified open GL library.
It's at 3PM PDT, so in a little less than an hour and a half.

I noticed something weird. Child of Light is cheaper on Vita than the console version on the norwegian psn store. The difference is only 10NOK (~1£), but still weird
Blazblue card game for iOS.
Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters for PS3 and Vita.
Under Night In-Birth for PS3.
guess I was asking too much (hoping for Vita Megatons!)
So the reception for Freedom Wars in Japan doesn't seem as hot as expected, despite the high sales. Hopefully the issues are fixed before US release.
Edit: Reddit has some impressions from an English-speaking player.

Probably better off waiting for Freedom Wars Xtreme or whatever.
Cancelled my amazon preorder.

Apparently because the general public is approaching it like a MonHun game when it's more of a TPS.
I hope it doesn't affect sales in the long term in Japan.

Going by the impressions I've read this sounds more like it's simply a badly-designed game that was release in an unfinished state.

Damn.
Cancelled the preorder.
That's part of the problem, but there are a lot of other things. Some of them such as the unfair difficulty should be able to be fixed with a patch though.

There probably isn't going to be one if this doesn't sell.
I am going to stay positive, what I've read in the import thread here is promising and I assume there will be some major patches released before it even comes out here.
The fixes are probably coming in the game right at launch in the West.
Selling well in Japan doesn't guarantee a localisation of any possible future upgrades or sequels though.
Taking Amazon ratings seriously? IT's like... taking youtube commentaries seriously.
Sometimes, they're right on the money pointing out the flaws in games.

Sounds like a plodding mess.
Amazon and 4Gamer. There aren't any better alternatives for Japanese reviews that I know of. And it's not like people are just hating on the game for no reason either because Soul Sacrifice/Delta and Toukiden have much higher ratings on both sites.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still very hyped for Freedom Wars. It just doesn't sound like the game should have been released in this state, but a few patches should do the trick.
Like sometimes you'll find a good commentary on youtube.
I still choose to not listen any of them. I can watch a let's play or something on the internet. Also, japanese games are known for not liking too hard games. Since I haven't played this, I dunno if the hard on this game is unfair or just hard that you need to stop pussying around.

I'll probably wait a bit after its launch here to pick it up.
I remember reading about a recent survey that said most Japanese players actually want higher difficulty in hunting games. People are claiming the difficulty in FW is unfair right now (and will be fixed soon).
Yep, my bad.
I'm guessing you meant to quote Maedhros not me.
I don't know, that Reddit thread seems overly critical to me. I've been following the Import thread here and the response from them seems to be much more positive than that Reddit thread would suggest.
Personally, I don't mind other people's opinions when I want the game. It didn't stop me from getting a lot of Vita games I enjoyed.

Wait what? Since when? Isn't it the usual thing to do to actually *reverse* the difficulty for the western release of games instead, where the games are made easier than their Japanese counterpart?
Care to give examples for this phenomenon?
Got the Sly Collection. It's pretty good. Really miss the 60fps of the PS2 and PS3 version but very playable and one of, if not THE, only PS2 ports that are native resolution. That's commendable. Definitely doesn't look nearly as good as Sly 4 on Vita, yet runs the same. Must be another case of PS2 code just being weird and hard to port.

So did aksys announced any vita games?
Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters is coming to Vita and PS3
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=849614
They also announced that the 3rd DLC of Muramasa Rebirth will be released on July 15th in the US and July 16th in EU
Just Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters and Muramasa DLC, I think.

Castlevania games were actually harder on the west than the japanese ones.
I don't remember any recent games, but wasn't Catherine reviewed badly because of the difficult?
Just same as SS and Toukiden (and probably GE2), the localization version of FW should have everything patched from the get-go.
However for Western gamers who is used to fps/tps (not only control scheme but general rules, like you must strafe to avoid shots) may find patched version a bit too easy I'm afraid
