Eeehh. Was hoping for an artsy cool thing like Futuridium/Volume.
Still buying of course
Especially since I believe the PS4 version will be updated for PSVR support. We are better off waiting!

Should be coming out in the next few months. Premium foil cover with a nice manual!
Hopefully this will be my first LRG get. Cover game always on point btw.

Loving the cover for Volume. I'll of course be looking to pick this game up on release
Volume? Played it, reviewed it, 8/10.

Douglas has been in Tokyo for a while and is finally back tomorrow so expect a bit more activity from us here.
He actually held two impromptu meetings for LRG while there. We never rest from trying to secure physical releases for you all!
Lots of meetings going down at GDC this week and a few announcements will probably slip out soon. Keep your eyes peeled!
On a different note, manufacturing has begun on Oddworld! It's finally coming!
Definitely Phantom Breaker Battlegrounds right?

You gotta' stop. Too much hype if this pans out.

My hype train can't stop once LRG starts publishing JPN games too.

If I don't get Volume I will jump off a skyscraper.
I had no problem getting Saturday Morning RPG, but I know others did.
I cannot miss out on Volume.

I'm getting more nervous about upcoming releases as time goes on too.

I haven't bought anything from LRG (yet) but I think what you guys are doing is great.
Hope you guys do some games that I like soon so I can give you some money.

It's Ray Gigant, they're cutting the middleman and talking to Bandai Namco directly!

So Volume was the Vita exclusive game. I've held off on buying it because I had a feeling that LRG would publish it. Might be the first LRG game I buy.

2 (per person per platform) was the initial limit for Saturday Morning RPG. Not sure if that'll change for the next release or not due to demand, we'll have to wait and see.
You should read their twitter.
Huh?

Really looking forward to Volume - predicting it to sell out insanely fast if they do a low print run though.
Seems that Oddworld New 'n' Tasty and Futuridium EP Deluxe are up first though (and in that order) as per http://crashlanded.co.uk/volume-physical-release-announcement.php

Yep, so it's a good game right? I have seen a video and seems like metal gear? Will buy it anyway and let´s see if we can get the treatment like this one for other games.
Release order(twitter limited run games): Oddworld, Futuridium, and then ???. Volume's release date is nowhere near locked yet.

Volume is on PS4 and other systems. Not exclusive.

I know, but from earlier in the thread:
Unless they have another release lined up with the same exact features, they probably meant that they were exclusively releasing it for one of the two systems they're focusing on currently.

Never played Volume before. Just read/watched gameplay and saw it's a stealth game inspired by MGS. That's right up my alley.
Yakuza 5 (fingers crossed)
Can't wait for Oddworld!

Anyone here has played it? How good is it? After MGS V's gameplay, the new Hitman felt rather mediocre to me.
Edit: And I'm looking for good PS4 stealth games, and so far only enjoyed MGS V and Dishonoured (aside from the story controversy). Anything good already out now? (I know about the upcoming Deus Ex and Dishnrd 2).
It's like Metal Gear VR Missions, if you've played that game.
Also, some teasing from Aku Audi (Sekai Project) at the VN thread:

Oh lord.
Yep, I have played vr missions and overall I love mgs, thanks
.Also incredibly happy as this was one of the "games" we asked for: world economica, grisaia trilogy, root double if possible... amazing news!

Shit son!
I don't think Root Double is possible, unless there is extensive work from Regista to make the game fit a 4GB card and provide the remaining assets as a downloadable patch, which is clearly not happening since they didn't bother to make that for Japan in the first place.
Regarding Guacamelee... As much as I love the game, the Vita version isn't the definitive version. I'd probably buy a physical copy with all the DLC, but the PS4/Wii U/etc versions are better overall. I still think that a better suggestiong, from the very same studio, would be Severed. Our very own Vita exclusive (for now) that could get an amazing LRG print.

There is always room for optimization, I believe it could be possible but needs work, either optimization or with the downloadable patch trick.
I played guacamelee on ps3 and was the best downloadable game I played on that system, enjoyed every second of it with my brother, superb game.I would probably buy it for ps4 and may be for vita too, haven't played severed but doesn't appeal to me as much as gucamelee did,but I'll try it out if LRG does a retail version.
I've been playing through Root Double on Vita for the last few months (the game is looooong, easily 40-50 hours) and all the text except for the internal monologue is fully voiced. The soundtrack has a lot of songs and like the VA, everything sounds like it has a high bit rate. I guess that's what takes up most of the space.
The Vita version is 3670MB, comparable games like DR1&2 or Grisaia that had a pysical release are around 3300MB. I'm not sure what the cut-off is for the 4GB cards, they might be able to squeeze it onto a 4GB card if they take out the extras and a large encyclopedia of all the scifi/science terms for the game. Or if they find a better way of compression/reduce the bit-rate if this is still possible, but that seems like a lot of work for a Limited Run release imo.
Didn't know you were playing it, damn you. How is the game? I was super hyped and backed for the special pc version with vita code etc.I know they will have to work but I think it'd be possible whether they decide to do it or not, with better compression or leaving the voices out it will be possible although I also doubt they will make it we don't know their plans yet.What is almost sure is that they're going to try with grisaia trilogy.
I backed it as well (at a lower tier though). Before the KS, I didn't know that the game had been ported to Vita, so I picked it up and started playing while the KS was happening.
The game is good, but a slow burn. [general impressions, no story spoilers]
You gotta have a lot of patience with the way the story is told (very slow pacing and lots of exposition, sepia colored flashbacks within flashbacks, watching the same event play out multiple times from different perspectives, stuff like that). There are no puzzles/escape rooms to break up the story, player interaction is limited to making decisions. There are 2 main routes (called "roots" , each has it's own protagonist and tonally they are very different. You unlock 2 more "roots" after clearing the first two with a good ending. You're left with many unanswered questions even after finishing 3 of those roots, I feel like I'm near the end of the last route and to the game's credit, it answers all of them while still making sense in the context of the world.

Yes please, I'm interested. I believe I'm going to love it, so far all impressions are very positive and I can handle the drawbacks.Thanks takoyaki and we'll see what dovac and Audi announces from sekai project.I backed it as well (at a lower tier though).

The game is good, but a slow burn. [general impressions, no story spoilers]Overall, RD feels more like an Infinity game than a ZE game. Great soundtrack, VA, art. Interesting characters. I think most Nakazawa/Uchikoshi fans who don't mind playing a pure VN will like it.You gotta have a lot of patience with the way the story is told (very slow pacing and lots of exposition, sepia colored flashbacks within flashbacks, watching the same event play out multiple times from different perspectives, stuff like that).

It's posible that someone said that, but the truth is what takoyaki said. Also 8gb vita cartridges exist or is it a legend?if they exist the problem will be costs regarding what Lrg said, but I wouldn't mind paying more for a cartridge were root double fits.
Checked again, screenshot from 'content manager' on my vita
Root Double
Grisaia (for comparison)
edit: if Vita cards work like USB sticks/SD cards, then you should be able to fit around 3800MB on to a 4GB Vita card. It's possible that some of that space is reserved for other things like copy protection though, not sure. I mean, there must have been a reason why they never released a physical edition.
Hope I can finish it this week, will write more detailed impressions then. I have a feeling you'll like it if you don't mind the slow parts of the story, it's really starting to pay off during the last two routes.
