The length and replayability of the game is currently the big question mark for me. I guess we'll see when the reviews hit.
$15.99 (NA) if you pre-order before midnight EST.

N++ has one. There are definitely other examples as well

On the GB quick look, they mentioned it took one Sony QA tester 22 hours. Let's not forget episode 5 is coming a bit down the line.
I figured at $19.99, this game was at least on the scale of Spelunky or Rogue Legacy. Both of those have platinums.
Since when? Heaps of them have them -
Rogue Legacy
Binding of Isaac
Hotline Miami 1/2
And loads more.
For me like I said the list isn't disappointing because it's missing a Platinum trophy, it's disappointing because the list is so basic.
They just require you to beat the game, rather than adding some extra challenges or incentives to replay the game in different ways.
Even Sound Shapes has a platinum and it is not a very big game.

IIRC the octodad devs said they didn't get a platinum because it was an extra certification pass. Plenty of fairly small indies (Lone Survivor, which was like $12 IIRC) have 'em.Sony should make it easier for devs to just always have them.
Well, it is after your 5th hour of retrying bullshit Death Mode levels hoping for the right RNG

Is it too late to patch in some more difficult/trophies and a platinum? Even though I can rarely achieve one, it sure extends the life of a game, for me.

If you have PS+ you get a 20% discount for preordering
Yes. I never did get the last few levels. Played it more than 5 hours trying, though. This was the endgame content I was asking about, above. Things above and beyond the main game that extend replayability. Like NG+ or a random sandbox environment, beyond act 5, that is full of enemies, random objectives, and a boss; time challenges; high score challenges; endless enemies in a random area. In-game achievements, like Resogun. I don't know, something.

I caved and ordered it from US PSN, so Sony will probably announce & release it on EU PSN tomorrow knowing my luck.

Some like Rogue Legacy, shovel knight, and N++ have platinums.
Usually they're so far out of reach for me that I don't even bother trying

I haven't seen anything mentioned about co-op, but I just read this on PC Gamer website:
"PS4 isnt locked at 60. It plays at 60 a lot and doesnt go below about 40 something, but the PC versions definitely got a better framerate, even on a mid-range PC."
Sort if making me want to wait for the PC version. I didn't expect this game to run under 60fps. Anyone have any impressions, regarding framerate, on the current PS4 version?

This is live right now if you want to get your Galak-Z fill before release. Looks like they're going through the early parts of the game.

I didn't notice anything bad about the framerate other than a stutter here and there which seemed loading/streaming related. But I also probably haven't hit the really flashy fights yet.
It really should run at 60 locked on PS4 but it's Unity so ¯\_(ツ
_/¯Good Lord. I'm still concerned I won't have the patience for this game, but damn that looks fantastic.A new GIF:

I noticed a really annoying framerate stutter in episode 2-3. I can't remember exactly what was going on that might have caused it to stutter then, but it was aggravating...but that's the only time I've really noticed anything.
I may be behind in this thread, but the 7/15/15 Eurogamer preview mentions it used to be an open world game but is now Rogue-Like.
Which is interesting because the 17Bit official page still refers to it as Open World (twice) but links also to the EuroGamer preview that says it is not.

Can't they just release the US version in the european SEN store?
They're not translating this into french and german and stuff, right??
I really hoped, I'd be playing it tomorrow.
(and no, not interested in VPN and such to bypass)

They totally could (and will), but SCEE doesn't allow it on their store until they did their own certification, even if it was 100% okay for SCEA
It's fucking stupid.

I could totally go on a rant about "certified" broken ass games and 5 gig day1 patches that don't even address half of the games problems, but let's skip that...
You think we are talking about days or weeks for the EU release? I could see myself going for some shadow complex to bridge the gap if it will be another week or more.

I'm thinking it'll be next week if it misses this one. Can't see why it would be any later.

Ever since this game was first revealed, I've been wanting to play it. The long gestation seems to have done wonders for it. It initially looked like a polished variation on Gravity Crash and Pixeljunk Shooter - part exploration, part shooter - but has since grown into something very unique.

Man, I hope... In any case, pretty sure my hype is sustainable until it reaches europe.
New Giant Bomb Quick Look just uploaded.
Lol. Check again.

Like I said on the last page, I think Sept/Oct. has been floated.

Okay, the patch is legit, no performance problems anymore. Don't play it without the patch, lol.
Combat feels quite good, I'm already feeling limited by the variety of enemies and encounters mid season 2, hope things keep opening up as much as they did through season 1
I like the idea of the mech (and kind of wish it weren't so thoroughly spoiled) but it feels very risky so I haven't played with it as much as the ship yet.

What do you mean by that? Not enough enemies or you're not powerful enough.
I finally game over'd on 2-3. Feel the same way about the mech, not sure how vulernable it is during melee assaults and I always get scared, boost off, and return to blasting enemies while in ship form. Always feel like I have too much to lose but now that I got destroyed I think I'll play around a bit more.

I hope if the reviews are positive I scan still get in on the 20% off discount for pre-order
I am very interested in this game and have some PSN cash to spend
