Why can't this come to the Vita? I want this on my OLED screen!

Spoiler

I'm getting the PS4 version.

 

[zashga]

Looks good; I'm gonna pick this up for sure.

Also, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that (story-wise)

Spoiler

the "dark queen" is your dead mother

.

 

[ClearData]

Should I pick this up on PS4 or PC?

 

[CrimsonCommie]

IDK if I should get this for PS4 or Wii U. Probably PS4 since I don't have many games for it so far and 1080p. Are there any gamepad features for this game?

 

[breakfuss]

PLEASE let this game turn out to be as good as it looks. Very excited. Sub'd. I'm likely to go with PS4.

 

[Jomjom]

Anyone know where us peasants in the US can order the physical CE from the EU?

Amazon UK [LINK]

I tried, but it said it wouldn't ship to the US.

I did find two sites that will: www.thehut.com, and www.zavvi.com

The nice thing is that Zavvi has .99 standard shipping to the US and currently has a code for 10% off Child of Light Deluxe bringing it down to around 14.40 pounds.


Now my question is: Will I even be able to redeem this game on my US account?

You'll be able to redeem it on a UK account and then play on your US account. (at least you should be able to)

 

[Shinta]

Getting this for Wii U along with Nintendo Remix 2. I think there are some kind of touch screen applications in this game that could work really well on the gamepad. Not 100% sure though.

 

[Messofanego]

My exams start from April 30th to May 7th lol, will only get to check this out after then. Fantastic OT, you guys are crazy with your photoshop skills.

 

[Special C]

I hope the combat is challenging enough. JRPG combat tends to be painfully easy, especially in smaller games like this.

 

[leng jai]

Physical for me. 24 page art book is disappointing though. A game with art like this really needs a delicious steelbook too.

 

[GeoramA]

Pre-ordered on PS4 a couple weeks ago. I have a backlog, but I'm dropping everything for this next week.

 

[sector4]

Incredible OT iNvid02, really well done.

I've got the Physical Deluxe version pre-ordered for PS4 and can't wait, also dropping everything to play this next week. I hope it does really well!

 

[antitrop]

I was going to get this on Steam, but since I just got my new PS4, I think I'll get it on that just so I have something to play on it.

Hope it's great!

 

[-MD-]

If the combat ends up being challenging I'll consider jumping in day 1 but if it's not I'll likely wait for a sale.

 

[tookhster]

Man, I can't wait for the soundtrack. The stuff from the previews sounded amazing.

I have high hopes for the game as well. Day 1 on PC.

 

[Gaz_RB]

I'll be picking this up on PS4 for some couch coop. Hopefully being the little firefly is entertaining.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I want this shit so damn bad. I'll buy anything that Yoshitaka Amano is involved with.

 

[FerDS]

Physical for me. 24 page art book is disappointing though. A game with art like this really needs a delicious steelbook too.

I thought there was no physical, you just get a code and the artbook/other stuff

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

I wish this game was PS3/PS4 cross-buy for the US.

 

[Eusis]

I wish this game was PS3/PS4 cross-buy for the US.

I really don't get why it isn't, not unless there's some weird Sony hang up or extra weird retailer hang up (though why when the game is only DD...?)

Though maybe Ubisoft in Europe gave the thumbs up while the NA division went "nope."

 

[Bsigg12]

Pretty excited for this. Ubisoft bringing all the games worth playing.

 

[RiotRhythm]

Very excited for this game, and super stoked that Coeur de pirate is doing the soundtrack.

 

[Dark Octave]

Looks great but why are we going from the already rail thin three party member RPG to now two? I think The Stick of Truth is the same. Not a fan of this trend.

I don't know too much about this game (semi media black out) but to me it seems they were aiming for an atmosphere of loneliness, which seems fitting in my opinion.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

What to buy it on...? 360/PS4/XB1/WiiU?

 

[GoofsterStud]

Any notable differences between the Ps4 and xb1 versions?

It's a 2d game using the same engine as the latest version Rayman, they should be the same.

 

[John Harker]

IDK if I should get this for PS4 or Wii U. Probably PS4 since I don't have many games for it so far and 1080p. Are there any gamepad features for this game?

I'm getting it for Wii U. Touchscreen fairy power + off TV play make it the better gameplay experience in my book.

I have it pre-ordered on PS4 for this: http://static9.cdn.ubi.com/resource/en-US/game/childoflight/col/Golem-Top-SS-740x326_133945.png

 

[Replicant]

Oh, this is soon? Glad I pre-ordered the LE back then when I wasn't busy or I'd have forgotten about it.

 

[Gambit]

very much looking forward to it. The game seems to tick all the right boxes for me. And is supposed to have a Grandia-inspired battle system on top of it!

Will get for Wii U on day 1.

 

[Aostia]

I'm getting it for Wii U. Touchscreen fairy power + off TV play make it the better gameplay experience in my book.

are those two feature confirmed?
I'm planning to get it on the Wii U especially for those aspects too

 

[Scanna]

Unfortunately it is easy. Just start on Difficult

 

[KingSnake]

"I think it is best suited for the Wii U because of the GamePad actually," he says. "We are using the touchscreen to control the second character, plus you can play in off-TV mode".

[Dr Dogg]

Is it really that time already? Sweet.

It's a packed couple of months of releases, April and May but really looking forward to Child of Light.

Edit: Oh yeah, great OT iNvid02.

probably because eu/uk pay more for the game than us, so they can take the risk of cross-buy

 

[Exentryk]

Deluxe Edition on pre-order for the PS3. Can't wait!

 

[TAJ]

what did you do to ubisoft us gaf? they decided to shaft you on the physical edition and the cross buy promotion. its kinda strange

also there is a lets play on PS4 already up, spoilers obviously

I had no idea the combat was like that.
Hype -1000

 

[denshuu]

I love how her crown falls off when she gets hit.

Already preordered on Steam. One of the few games I'm not going to have to wait several months for a PC version.

You are a crazy person. Grandia combat is best combat.

 

[JaseC]

Should I pick this up on PS4 or PC?

The two are going to be indistinguishable unless your monitor's native resolution is above 1080p, but thinking forward, with the PC there's the backwards compatibility factor -- if you want to revisit the game down the line you just have to load it up through Uplay/Steam whereas on the console side you may need to plug in the superseded PS4.

hey, thank you very much!
looking forward for it! I'm really digging what they are doing with this game

I had no idea it was JRPG combat at all. I assumed it was like Zelda 2 or the 2D Prince of Persia games. I already bought it, too. Whoooooops.

 

[addik]

Oh, this is also going to PC? I always thought it was just coming the consoles for some odd reason.

Definitely getting this, though I wonder if we'll get boxed copies?

 

[Prototype]

Saw a promo video in person earlier today, looks simply stunning in 1080p. Seeing it in person really changed my mind, will probably pick this up.

 

[A Huge Battleship]

Pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition for PS3, which'll tide me over until I get a PS4 in 2020.

 

[jimboton]

Any word on challenging exploration or puzzles?

It's a modern Ubi Soft game. Don't expect anything challenging, but do expect plenty of handholding and some sort of waypoint system to keep the pace brisk.

 

[Shin Johnpv]

I was going to buy this day one on Wii U, them dropping the PS360/Wii U versions to 720p for no fucking reason means I probably won't. I'll wait for a sale not paying full price for a gimped for no reason version.

 

[Vitor711]

Absolutely want the deluxe edition since it's only £5 more. That being said, PC or PS4.... Ugh. Former is probably the better version for me but I do like the idea of playing on my new console.

Decisions, decisions.

EDIT: Ah, it's the UbiArt engine. PS4 it is. 1080 and 60FPS there apparently so the performance difference is a moot point. Plus, if I recall correctly from Eurogamer's Rayman comparison, the visual differences between PC and consoles there were minimal. Much rather play this in the living room where the PS4 is located.
