It's so good to have a Deception with a bloodthirsty protagonist again. No more of III or Trapt's 'waaah I hate killing' BS.
Screenies from the tutorials:
I'm still in the Prologue Chapter, but I'm already liking the game. It looks great, sounds great, runs great and doesn't hold your hand unless you ask it too.

EDIT:
As I stated earlier, dynamic resolution that stays mostly at native res, and a mostly smooth 30 fps (no idea how the framerate will hold in the later chapters).

Let the Daemons help. They have fun dialogue, and genuinely offer good hints, even if you're a vet.

Just cleared the tutorial. Timing seems to be important in this game, I think I tried to drop a boulder on the thief chick about 4 times before I finally successfully landed it on her. Trying to get a 500 Humiliation combo seems equally difficult with only 2 Humiliation traps available at the start.
I want my Gamestop preorder traps but I can't activate them on PSN yet because I have to upgrade my firmware but there's a thread where people who have 32 GB memory cards are reporting it bricks Vitas. Goddammit.

Wonder what the print run of this was. Amazon is already low on stock. Might not be able to wait for a drop, at least on PS3
My general thought process (which I would hope is just business common sense) is that unless a product is MEANT to be limited that if it's selling out fast that they would rush to produce and sell more. So if it's already selling out on Amazon I wouldn't really worry, it's when it's getting cheaper and getting low on stock years later that I'd be very worried, at that point they just want to unload stock.
I'm a huge fan of this series, I was so happy to see a US release, and on Vita no less. In my hour and a half so far I can say fans should be happy with it. Moving around is no longer janky like it used to be and the lock on for trap timing is great. Plus its back to the sadistic devil goodness, I haven't seen a hint of morality yet. Plays great on the Vita and I may double dip and get the DD version on PS3 eventually. Thank god for PSN, I doubt you'll be able to find a copy of this anywhere in 2 months.
Well, Newegg's product page says the Vita version is out of stock, yet my preorder is apparently still valid and unshipped. It seems like they took more preorders than they could actually fulfill...
If I didn't have a Newegg gift card that I wanted to use, I would have gone with Amazon instead. Oh well, guess I'll try waiting a day to see if they will actually send me a copy. Hopefully Amazon still has stock if Newegg doesn't come through.

I really like how the daemon requests are working out (so far, anyway). It implores you to mix things up a fair bit and work out different combinations.
I always found it funny how the heroines would whine about the fact that they have to kill while accumulating a body count higher than Jack Bauer's.

I was surprised to see an ad for this game at my local Gamestop. Right as I walked into the door.
Almost like a trap.

bad gameplay lol
I feel like if I don't get a physical copy of this now, I'll never be able to find one at a decent price. But I can't afford it unless I trade in a bunch of other stuff that's also worth a decent amount (Rune Factory 4, Guided Fate Paradox, maybe Hatsune Miku). Gaaaaaah what to do.
I agree, the fact that Tecmo actually bothered with this franchise in this day and age is a miracle. Which for me, provided that the game is actually good is something I definitely would prefer to support over COD clone #23.
I guess my issue is that people are expecting these types of games to be budget titles at 20-30, simply because it doesn't have million dollar production values which is the norm in your average western production. I guess most people think niche = cheap.
While $20-30 is too low, given the Vita version at $40 I don't think it's unreasonable to expect it to either be $40 or at least $50 rather than $60. Especially when Escha & Logy came out two weeks ago at $50 and was likely of similar production values.
I agree that $50 would be preferred, but this should really apply to all games in reality.
You know, if Tecmo did a double pack for the the disc version on PS3 plus the digital Vita version for say 70-80, I would definitely buy that.

So true. Didn't like how the MC was treated like a victim.
I haven't tried out the new modes, but they look like it'll keep me busy for a while. I miss the pool of blood effect when your enemies die though.

Um they bleed plenty when they die?

Might wait for a price drop on this, rather than renting. I think I want to own it, but I don't really want to pay full price for it, haha.
It looks good though!

It's a reverse harem game where you play a rejected waifu who decides to kill all of her competition

Just played through the first level on the Vita. Game feels just like what a deception game should play like but less clunky than the past titles. Like some have said, I like that the main girl is just outright evil or at least not morally bound and squirming while she proceeds to kill everyone who enters. I hate her clothes though and her duo eye colour and one horn design seems rather random. Still undecided about her 3 servants.
Activating traps and cycling through them with the left and right buttons turned out to be quite helpful when it comes to planning. Often in the older games (at least in Trapt, can't really remember much of the older ones) I would press the wrong buttons in the heat of battle. The new control scheme lets you plan the order that you want your traps to be activated and at the same time lets you select otherwise if you have a change of plans. The tutorial and the first level also does a good job teaching players.

My mistake, I remember them being more prominent back then.

I'm pretty sure I pulled off the 500 Humiliation combo last night on the level with the rolling mechanical knight contraption. I used the 2 Humiliation traps in combination with pushing the victim into the cannon, which adds Humiliation combo points.
How I did it:
The exact sequence was wall push into the cannon, cannon fires guy into the cage, he drops out of the cage, rake on the spot he falls to, and finally drop the pumpkin head on him.
Ended up being worth 825 Humilation points or so, if I remember right.

Some of these characters are wild..the "cutscenes" add a lot to the package. Ufo is gamebreaking when used correctly.
You have to tell us all about this game when you get to play it lol.

It is amazing how polished this game is. I'm not sure I'll be able to play the earlier games the same way. The team behind this love Deception, and it shows.
The localization is worlds better than any of the previous four, too(not that it was a particularly high bar to reach).

The one thing I still get a kick out of are the crazy bios of the "guest". I kinda felt bad for dropping a chandelier on someone's head.....
Kinda.
It really is a solid game.
