LawBreakers does have an offline component, but it isn't anything substantial from a preservationist standpoint. Just the training mode will seemingly be accessible without Internet which makes it an easy pass as someone that would've jumped for bot matches. I really wish that shooter developers would place some emphasis on developing an offline bots mode for longevity sake, especially when materializing as a physical product that'll undoubtedly outlast servers. Sadly, a majority of design teams realize they can make loads of cash by just making a playground for players with cosmetics and slot-machine giveaways chipping away at consumer wallets while the gaming industry sinks further toward being a short term service over solid works of art.
I'd like to know further details about any adjustments with the loyalty form as well. I'm guessing you'll have to negotiate through the support team to obtain the Night Trap reward variant as the cover art tier states LRG won't take requests. However, the initial plan was that you had to strive toward the forty-ticket game tier. In other words, you'd have to obtain a whole copy of the product in order to get the artwork. Of course, there was backlash over the maneuver, which they immediately acknowledged, so LRG might've arranged for something less excessive leading into the release window.
Get in the back of the queue.

When you shouldve used Amazon Payments instead. 😂😂
Amazon Payments is never clickable for me
Aaaalso: come on guys, the Night Trap CE should have included the documentary
After scouring the LRG message boards, the latest info I can find is that there will be 500-1000 copies of the Night Trap variant, and there's been no follow-up on how the new loyalty tickets system will work.
How can they possibly predict how many people will *mail in* tickets to redeem a limited variant?

Really? Shame. Its a nice alternative

Same, but there's an alternative.
You have to do the regular checkout and when you get to the Billing section you just choose Amazon.
I've asked twice here, and once on Twitter yesterday. Still awaiting one answer :/
(even if, now that I think if it, I don't know what I'll do with a second cover anyway... slip it in the normal game case ?)

Well, when I get hit with the stupid verification and log off, log in loop from paypal, I checked with Amazon Payments without a hitch.

LRG, please consider The Game Paradise: Cruisin Mix for a physical release!!!
*Signs this petition*. It also has Degica's involvement so that might make things easier after Dariusburst.
There's also a solid amount of other nice PS4 shmups this gen in need of a physical release.
Dangun Feveron/Fever S.O.S. (would need localization but it's a shmup so no millions of lines of text)
Battle Garegga (same as above)
Jamestown+
Sky Force Anniversary
Resogun (although Sony
)Future ones:
Gundemoniums
Senko no ronde 2
Diadra Empty (haven't researched much and it might not be a top title but has a pretty good reception on Steam)
... and Flying Hamster HD for the Vita! (half joke, I'd buy it though)
Edit: and as I was typing that, Mahou Daisakusen/Sorcer Striker was confirmed for a Japanese release by M2.

Going to attempt my first purchase with Wonder Boy. Is there some way to have your payment information loaded prior to a first purchase. Reading all the horror stories of checking out on popular titles has me worried...
I'm down for a PS4 copy!
Just checking again -- anyone not collecting the trading cards and would like to sell them or work out some kind of deal?
Happy to discuss
I currently have:
001 - Gold variant
004 - Gold variant
005
006
012
I would take repeats as well though, want to build enough of them to start trading.

There's gold variants as well? Oh man.
Yep, but it's just the border of the cards that are silver or gold. I think there may also be foil variants, but I haven't seen them.
I think they did the right thing by having lots of variants and versions. It's not meant to be something of a full collection you always keep up with, but more of a fun extra.
I turned around on the idea of these trading cards pretty hard, I love it now.

What are these trading cards? When did they start?
They started with the Dariusburst Vita/Furi batch.
The postcards are being phased out in favor of these, and there's 2 to 3 postcards for each release, as well as gold (and maybe foil?) variants.

I'm in the same boat for both games. Although I'll go with standard edition for Night Trap. Full color manual? Good enough for me. I'd also like to get the documentary blu-ray.

How many tickets will it be for the variant cover of Night Trap?

Has it been stated to be Digital Only? Im under the impression there is still a chance for a physical release without the need for LRG
I applaud Fangamer for doing it this way. Otherwise I would have missed out on the CE of Undertale, because I didn't see the topic in time. So I guess you could say the money LRG didn't want from me last week went to Fangamer now.
~80% are in favor of a Limited Run Games susbscription, so it's pretty clear what most of the fans want. Screw the scalpers.
Play-Asia now has two listings for Game Paradise Cruisin Mix, one LE and one regular. Both are the Japanese version and there is no mention on other languages.

Better than nothing and potentially with English subs.
Edit: they also list Senko no ronde 2 with an LE and a regular edition:

Would be lovely with LRG releases for both,
I know. I'm going to try for one as well and I'm worried about it. I'm contemplating buying something this Friday just to do a trial run since I haven't bought anything since Astebreed and I forgot what the process is like. I wish they were making more because I think they'll blow through 4,000 copies in the AM and 4,000 more in the PM in like 5 minutes each.
Also, I wish LRG were better about communication. Night Trap is under two weeks away and I have no idea where to find out how to get the 32X cover. They don't update their website and it seems like if you want to know anything about what is going on you have to settle for a drip-feed of info from their three twitter accounts and hope that some detective out there catches it and posts it here.
I really appreciate LRG and what they do and honestly my experiences with purchasing from them have been largely positive ones, but man the quest for finding out what you want to know is longer than it needs to be.

Unless clarified otherwise, it'll take forty tickets to obtain the exclusive variant from the rewards program which means you'll have to aim for a complete copy of the game. The cover art isn't being offered separately.
I'm positive I read somewhere they had decided that only the COVER was exclusive to the loyalty program, and thus wouldn't require 40 but 8 tickets.
I just don't remember where... :x

Admittedly, the forty-ticket tier for the 32X variant was being considered back in April, but fans had an adverse reaction to the amount requirement and LRG immediately claimed the final details were still being ironed out for the program. I hadn't heard anything else to indicate they had adopted a new tier requirement for the cover art, but I do hope it'll be obtainable through the amount of tickets out in the wild right now. Like Moofers commented, it has been frustrating to piece together release details across three Twitter accounts and their message board to make sense of matters.
Just as I was trying to find new details about the 32X variant, I saw that The Bunker was confirmed for launch alongside Night Trap on August 11th. Apparently Lili: Child of Geos and an unannounced 'classic" will be sold on August 18th as well. As a side note, I moved LawBreakers into the non-collection section for the time being as it doesn't appear to have been designated a number on the website.

I think they need to really be careful with the ticket system because I think it's going to result in more backlash than pleased people. Collectors are going to get mad without visibility in what they can be redeemed for down the line which prevents them from planning ahead with how they want to redeem them.
For example, it would suck if someone who ordered everything redeemed for the Night Trap variant only to find out afterward that maybe there was now an upcoming Ys Collector's Edition variant but now no longer have enough to get it. They would have rather got that than Night Trap but didn't know such a thing existed until it was too late.
Personally, I hope LRG makes it so someone who bought everything will be able to redeem for everything as a reward for being a dedicated sorted.

If we're talking LRG releases then nothing was mentioned in the calendar release schedule, as far as I'm aware. I think whether or not we get them this year will depend on how late the digital version will release. I wouldn't be surprised to see the LE on the PSN store at the end of the year, if not sometime in 2018.
Thanks, much appreciated!

Am I the only one confused as to why LiLi is getting a Limited Edition release in addition to the standard? Is it super popular and I somehow missed it? I remember playing it years ago on iOS when the App Store was full of potential and thinking it was... alright.

If Steiner is working with PQube (which he likely would be in this case), there probably wouldn't be a need for LRG. Just sayin'.
It's never a bad idea to make friends in the localization part of the industry, or whatever, especially if LRG still has any interest in localization for future releases. A raising tide lifts all boats,
