DEE ARR EMM! Your move MS!

 

[Zemm]

Surely these tweets mean the PS4 has no DRM too? Otherwise I don't think they'd be joking/trolling about this right now knowing the backlash that will come.

 

[Takuya]

I love this. And also, since he's actually playing around with this, it most likely means they aren't implementing anything (or at least, not nearly as badly as Microsoft is).

 

[sublimit]

Dat troll (lol)

 

[Dibbz]

Game looks interesting but i don't own a Vita (yet). Still waiting on a few more games to come out that i really want first.

lol that gif perfectly sums this up.

 

[Vorg]

Well played Yoshida. lol.

 

[nib95]

You...

 

[honorless]

Haha, this one got me when I found about it on PC a while back so I was able to guess what was really being announced. 10 out of 10 hail satans

Of all the obnoxious neon bloomfest twinstick shooters out there, this is one of the more aesthetically pleasing ones. It'll make for a fun trophy-gathering timewaster at some point, sure.

 

[Mael]

WHAT THE HELL THEY UNDERSTAND NOTHING DO THEY?
I'M NEVER

*Look at it more closely*
It's the name of a game?
A game for the Vita?
Ok you got me.

 

[soxinthebox]

Heart skipped a beat there

 

[Napalm_Frank]

All aborad the troll train baby:

Can you imagine them announcing same type of DRM as Bone has now? I don't know if I would laugh or cry.

 

[plainr_]

Title should be "Shuhei Yoshida confirms DRM for PS Vita" for maximum trollage.

 

[etrain911]

lol I think this means they're definitely aware of how unpopular DRM is. I have higher hopes now. Of course, they could always be dashed!

 

[GreatMightySymp]

10/10 master trolling, @yosp. xd

The all-seeing eye makes it perfect.

 

[magawolaz]

lmao, amazing.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Would have been funnier announced as a PS4 title

I can see the headlines now, "DRM coming for PS4"..."DRM for PS4 launch"..."DRM misses PS4 launch"

 

[batman2million]

Title scared me for a second there. Planning on getting a Vita soon.

 

[Pranay]

Title should be "Shuhei Yoshida confirms DRM for PS Vita" for maximum trollage.

hahaha this !

yeah, there is a thin line to cross here... and months of good will towards Sony could be crushed if this is them laughing 'at' us rather than 'with' us. This is a very serious issue to a lot of people (should be a very serious issue to every gamer)... and making jokes about it when your new system has the policy in place would be absolute shit.


I believe this is subtle confirmation that PS4 owners shouldn't worry about system-wide DRM.
If Sony is smart they will work all of this into their inevitable "this is all about YOU; the gamers!" E3 conference.

 

[shink]

Luckily I saw his tweet before this.

 

[andycapps]

That is masterful.. Sony execs are really enjoying this.

 

[SnakeSlashRO]

Funny how angry I got, now that I think about it... what would DRM on the vita even mean?

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Surely these tweets mean the PS4 has no DRM too? Otherwise I don't think they'd be joking/trolling about this right now knowing the backlash that will come.

That was my first impression as well. I'm cautiously optimistic.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

Hahaha incredible Sony.

It would have been extra hilarious if it was a PS4 title though.

 

[hodgy100]

phew! I actually felt my heart sink for a seccond there! XD

 

[red731]

Lool Yoshi and Shahid both trolling us.

Well done Sony.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

OP is an asshole. But the kind of asshole I respect.

 

[Volotaire]

 

[Deku Tree]

Can I get a used copy?

 

[AstroNut325]

Now that's grade A trolling.

 

[kevcampbell]

Best trolling ever done

 

[Boogalogist]

My reactions exactly.....

Almost skipped a heartbeat when I saw the title!

 

[test_account]

This .gif fits very good with this thread Especially the relief emotion after understanding that it was just a game called DRM hehe.

 

[Midou]

I hope if he can troll us like this, they don't actually have any horrible PS4 DRM in the works. It would not make the impact any less awful to be setup with heart-stopping jokes like this.

It is totally hilarious though.

 

[Mokubba]

That was good lool.

If PS4 does end up having DRM this place will be down for a while.

 

[jett]

 

[Waldo Lydecker]

That Yoshida is such a (how we call it in Dutch) eindbaas! (=end boss)

 

[sixteen-bit]

lol

 

[Jigolo]

What I got from this is that Yoshi has seen the noDRM campaign. HOPE.

 

[lemonade]

oh another indie game coming to vita?

just what i bought a $250 handheld for!

Can't hate on this. Where's the meat?

 

[Raist]

If they have some form of DRM now, wow what pricks.

Seriously. After all the "we hear you", the smileys, the jokes... Announcing DRM would be an awkward moment.

Have you guys not read anything in this thread or something?

 

[Wolves Evolve]

Have you guys not read anything in this thread or something?

Why are you quoting me? There's 50 people saying the same thing. And yes, I've read the thread. Every iota. I am the thread. I live the thread. I eat, sleep and shit both competition and this thread. I've got a Playstation 4 right here and it says for me to tell you to keep worrying.

 

[Wario64]

I have this on iOS. Eh, it's okay

10/10 on the troll though

 

[kitsuneyo]

Would yosp joke about this if PS4 had DRM coming? I don't think he would!

 

[Elixist]

haha. that game honestly looks like i could have a seizure playing it.

 

[Forbiden]

Would yosp joke about this if PS4 had DRM coming? I don't think he would!

I was thinking pretty much the same thing. It probably won't be completely DRM free, but I'd say the way he is taking this(reed: seemingly lightly) foreshadows good things for the PS4 used games/DRM.

 

[JWong]

Oh Yosp

 

[Arksy]

I was thinking pretty much the same thing. It probably won't be completely DRM free, but I'd say the way he is taking this(reed: seemingly lightly) foreshadows good things for the PS4 used games/DRM.

Yup. It's clear they're trying to at the very least to present themselves as the good guys.

 

[Zabant]

Here's the thing, we all had a good laugh from this.

But if after a playful joke like this they're all "Ahahaha, oh yeah and by the way the PS4 has actual DRM" The outrage will be that much more immense.
