Yep, it's the same model than PS+. But on 360, the game is yours forever to keep.
whats the deal with doing specials when you glow white? occasionally, when trying to navigate platforms via special moves (typically the uppercut) the game wont allow me to do the move and instead juan glows white for a second and an odd sound effect is played. what exactly triggers this blocking of abilities?

Can't wait to try this out. Wanted to pick up the original but glad I waited for this free deluxe version

Definitely looks better on XB1 than PS3

Here is a list of all of the references (based on the old version)

Excellent, thanks for the confirmation.

I have a question regarding how the game "feels" to play. I'm really, really picky when it comes to my 2D sidescroller/brawlers. For example, I love Mario sidescrollers, but just couldn't get into Donkey King/Sonic/Rayman/Meatboy games, even though they're gorgeous and of high caliber. Also, I compare all beat-em ups to Streets of Rage, so playing something looser like Dragon's Crown didn't feel right (although it being hard to tell what was going on and all the times stuck in menus might have contributed to my losing interest in the game). If you know what I'm talking about, can you tell me the "stickiness" of the game? I guess that's the most important part to me.
this. i just spent 40 on the diablo one (? the last one with juan in a suit) and found that i do better with the default

You might be trying use the same ability more than once per jump. You can only use each ability once while you're in the air and you have to land to reuse them.
i enjoyed it, but i found it to be a bit to convoluted and complicated for its own good, especially towards the end. combat was great, unless you are fighting many different types of enemies, each with their own patterns, many of them shielded with their own color coded shield. then you have to memorize what special attack corresponds to what color to temporarily defeat it AND contend with shifting between worlds to combat enemies on the other side. traversal was just as bad, what with double jumps, to dragon punches, to shifting between worlds to get platforms to appear, and dodging red thorns too. and, even worse, the game was pretty linear. yeah, its a metroidvania, but the best metroidvania's have you really exploring and getting lost. this was pretty much a linear experience with no need to really back track and the game telling you exactly where to go.
still though, great game, just wish it wasnt so puzzle platformy/combaty (but that seems to be the trend with "indies" these days).

All these things read as positives to me, haha. Your opinion is legit, too, of course.

Bloodborne is shit
You're obviously not very far in. This game gets with the difficulty later on.
i think im almost finished
killed the trio de muerte or whatever theyre called.
read that theres a hard mode though but what does it change ?
You die faster and some of the bosses have a few different tricks... I haven't started this version just yet, but I've heard some of the new stuff (if available from the start) could make the game easier.
Normal isn't that bad, with most of the challenge is with mob management when you have a bunch of guys with different shield colours and things like that.
Though I have heard that Intenso is over powered, meaning that you break shields with hits regardless of colour and that costumes are also available in the first playthrough? Both of them could/can make the game seem alot easier than it is.
Play as vanilla as possible and there will be some nice tricky sections.
Nah, I agree with him. I felt it was very easy, beat the final boss on my third try and aside from the platforming section when trying to get an orb in Tree Tops it was pretty simple.

Laughed my ass off when the goat man told me I wouldn't be getting a power after smashing one of his statues and it still played that mariachi music as if I did.
Game is pretty short. 4 hours in and I've already reached the point of no return (or so the goat man tells me). Going to head back and collect what a missed/complete remaining side quests though.

Played the game on vita a while back and I never cared for it
after playing on Xbox one I feel dumb for sleeping on this before its soo goood and there are a lot of references to some of my favorite games.. I wonder are they console exclusive or do both the ps4 and the Xbox one have the same posters?

Just picked it up, loving it! The writing is great, and the atmosphere and style is amazing. Not 100% sold on gameplay, but I'm getting used to it.

I couldn't resist and I bought the PS4 version anyway. Its sucks that we can't upgrade our Vita/PS3 version but I never finished the game and I just loved it when it came out, so bleh.
btw game looks fantastic on PS4.

Bought on Wii U just now. Always wanted to try it, and since I had more than $15 thanks to digital deluxe promotion credit, I got it for free.

The combat is fun :O The game is gorgeous. A lot to explore, too.
I'm using Tostada with the Juanita costume. Slay.
And I really like the villain with the long flowing black hair.

Almost have 1000/1000 on this game.
All I have to do is finish the game on hard and get 20 kills in intenso mode.
Question: Where is the best place to get the 20 kill intenso achivement on a character that has 100%'d the map?

Started replaying this. I platinumed the PS3/Vita version last year, didn't touch any of the DLC then. Surprised at the new areas and content, pretty fun way to get back into it. Started with Hard Mode by putting in the Konami code, pretty awesome.
Drinkbox games are very polished. Definitely one of my favorite downloadable studios.

Probably one of the rooms with the really, really easy to kill things that spawn in large numbers and attack by jumping in a circle thing. I think they're like the mini Aluxes.
Anyways, just 100%d the game and got every achievement aside from "That Was Hard Mode?" because I didn't know about the Konami code thing until I was halfway through normal. Great game. Looking forward to replaying it on hard.
