The pre-order bonus costumes aren't retailer specific are they (for the UK)?

Thanks, partner.
We need to decide the official rules:
What happens if you disconnect, potential networking issues, laggy matches, exactly what kind of mode we will be using (whether or not we will enable or disable in-game scoring).
Will fight sticks be allowed? I dont see why not, but let's nail these rules down so as to avoid confusion

It does have an online pass. A person on the GameFAQS board who leaked the alternate costumes said it did.
Watching the Superbot guys go at it 1v1 didn't give off the impression that the game is unbalanced. In skilled hands, a 1v1 fight is incredibly intense and enjoyable to watch. I think people are going to be surprised.
When I was playing a stock match as Ratchet, by the end, it was just me and Nariko, and the fight was back and forth. Lots of defensive and offensive playing, with rolls, blocks, dodges, whiffed Supers (plenty of those!). Building up to a Level 2 or 3 in a 1v1 isn't always the best strategy. I ended up winning that battle against Nariko with Ratchet's Level 1 Ryno.
I do think 2v2 is going to be where it's at, since it is a 4 player party brawler, but if 2 friends just want to go at it on the couch on a weekend, it's still incredibly fun. Especially if the two of you are good at the game, and the nuances of the character.
I really, really want to get my hands on Ratchet again. Watching that WNF video, I picked up on some really useful stuff that I wasn't aware of when I was playing him.
EDIT: Those Starhawk multi-player videos are great. Lol. It's a shame the game just hasn't done well, but hopefully the free single player campaign on PSN will entice more people. I love that game, but I admit I haven't played it in a while.

As for team name, I dunno. Something utterly stupid. How about the Unclenching Kings? You good with that unclen?
I don't know about that. I can't see a 2v2 situation ever being played at Evo, but hey, maybe I'm wrong.
wait
from the OP
Players:
- 1-4 (Local and Online)
But the picture says 1 player.
I'm confused.
You don't buy any first party sony games I presume then?
Look again, it's the Vita version. Good luck having four players locally on a handheld
Not since they started.

For those of you going digital, does anybody know how large the download is going to be? I don't have much room left on my PS3.
Wow, you must either work for Gamestop or hate games.
Nah but seriously though, it's not exactly a cool practice but it's not that big of a deal imo, i always buy games new so.

Not to jump on you or derail the topic but if are willing to pay $60 which would include the online pass why are you against speninding $60 because it includes it? Resell value?
Why not? Did you buy games used before the online passes started because that's the only reason I could see people having a problem with this.

Lagging will follow an honour system. As for disconnects, I'm going to assume that everyone here is too good to ragequit but if a disconnect happens, we'll just have to assume the worst and give that round to the team that didn't DC. I'd encourage teams to do a few practice matches with each other beforehand to calibrate controls for fightsticks (which will be allowed) and make sure the lag isn't to astronomical. If you test it and the lag makes the game unplayable, contact Smith or me and we'll swap your opponent with someone else who hasn't played their match yet.
Someone said the Vita version is 1.6 gigs. Doubt it would be much higher than that.

There are some people that still need a team, so form up asap!

Does anyone here actually plan to play with a fight stick? I'm going to try it out at least once. Should be interesting, although throwing with 2 buttons might feel a little strange.

Hmm....I dunno. Digital does seem cool, but Grace Chen Time and all, I can't see a situation where I could possibly be playing this before I could go to a store and buy it.

I'm going to try too.
Pretty much. No option to rent/borrow + my purchase is devalued as soon as I buy it. That, plus it kills online activity.
No need to derail further. Carry on.

Yeah, it's suppose to be up at 12:01 but it is always scary when you're dealing with GCT. I understand that.

Where was it mentioned that it's supposed to be at 12:01?
When I preordered it did say at midnight you could download it.
Anyone else preorder a day-one for a midnight PSN launch? Was it available right at midnight?
I was gonna ask to be in a team but I may not have time to even play next week and i'd hate to take someone spot if I can't make it.
So your trying to do the one thing that they have legit reasons to keep from happening that's cutting in on their sales....ok. If you are going to rent, borrow or get the game used they aren't getting your money anyway so honestly why should they care for those not supporting them when they can?

On PSN. The message tells you to come back at 12:01 on release day.
It seems like you weren't contemplating on buying it so saying that you saved yourself 60$ is a stretch.
Anyway, won't derail any further.
No, people rent games to know if they're worth it. I buy everything new.
How so? If a game has a pass, I cannot play online to see if it's worth it.

Eh screw it, went digital. There's so much stuff coming out that I don't even need this day 1, really, so why am I worried about GCT. Walking Dead, WiiU lineup, and P4G'll all be competing for my time anyway.
EDIT: Christ and that DmC demo as well. Man fuckin Tuesday.

The single player is very indicative of the online. It runs really smooth. I'd say no worries. If you like the game the online will be there.

I'm actually supportive of a casual trial round if not to make the actual fights more interesting when it comes to knowing your enemies, as well as dealing with lag and whatnot.
By the way, Scrafty, I preordered this game at EB Games and had to put down $5. Do u know if EB gives money back if u cancel preorders? Especially if Im getting everything with digital.
I was under the assumption, though, that I was getting the deck of cards for the preorder. People keep forgetting this. Is this UK only? I really want them, but I never hear it getting promoted, and I dont know if Im misunderstanding, or if its Sony's fault.
Cards? Nice, you guys are lucky. All we get here in Murka are costumes, I've never even seen those before.

Box art alone makes me want to buy this game. The roster does not :/. Hoping this does well

Last time I cancelled a pre-order at EB, they didn't give me my money back but instead kept it in the system, allowing me to put it towards a purchase or a different pre-order. It may vary from store to store, but I wouldn't count on it
Sorry!

I'm from Canada, I can't recall if the guy at the store told me the cards come with it or not, but I'm not seeing this promoted around. The above ad is in a different language but I recall seeing one in English. I just want this real bad and at this point, it's the only reason I am staying physical

Thanks man
I think Ill stick with physical just to bring the game around to friends' house and family parties.

It does have ad hoc though.
EDIT: added that to the OP

Ehhhhhhh, that's a bit extreme. That would just be a race to the bottom, figuring out who's the worst character and making your opponents pick them. Besides, that means you'd have to learn every character in the game in a week.
No.
There would be so much trolling, lol.
Bring the Offline Warriors.
Tuesday is crazy for me too between Black Ops II, The Walking Dead, Vita PS+ and this.
