About 1 year, pretty standard.
Blah!
What I meant:
If you are interested in this game, GO BUY IT!
Don't wait until it bombas or else, stop crying if we see less and less platformers by the big major publishers.
Detailed enough for you?

No US demo, right?

I basicly opted out from buying Splinter Cell Blackist and GTAV for this game after trying the demo, game has me very interested in it
The demo was fantastic and i can't wait to continue the adventure. I have been on a media blackout so i have no clue what lies beyond the demo but at this point, this is my most anticipated game of the year. It's going to be interesting to see the review scores on friday. Most previews i've read have been positive so i'm wondering if that will remain the case for the full game.
I pre-ordered on PSN for the soundtrack, which was great in the demo.

If it wasn't for the hundreds of games in my backlog, I would buy this game day 1.
Same here, I haven't really looked at any recent trailers or anything.

I think it is as well,
biggest disappointment for me this generation given it's prequel was so good.
Puppeteer looks great from what i've seen, if it plays half as good as it looks then it's going to be a contender for game of the year.
Although with donkey kong in december, i'm certain it'll have tough competition.
It's only £25 to start with

Loved the demo, awesome voice acting btw, even in Dutch. So many good games coming out in the next 3 weeks.

My thoughts exactly--can't believe it's already coming out. Feel like it snuck up on me.
Very expensive few weeks with this, KZ: Mercenaries, Rayman, and GTA V.

Does this game have an actual storyline or is it more of a level creator ala LBP?

Storyline, no UGC. In fact the demo is very story heavy by platformer standards.

It's got a proper story. Lead character is a silent protagonist though (arghh, my number one gaming pet peeve!).
Yup, I'm definitely getting this day one. I still haven't decided whether to preorder, though.
But what you said can't be stressed enough. If we want to see more of these kinds of games made, we have to support them. It feels really good to see 2D platformers NOT relegated to a $5-15 price point in a digital storefront.

gonna buy it just so the studio lives to see another day or at least have some money when they do fall apart.
Silent protaganist is fine for fairy tale-like games....when its a realistic game then thats when i have issues

Japan Studio ever closing down? Maybe the day SCE falls apart.

Yeah, same here. It feels weird we're at release. For some reason, this game's early days stick with me the most where we had no footage or low quality teasers.

There's no UGC at all. It's a straight up platformer and if the demo is any indication it's pretty story heavy.

Everyone better buy Puppeteer or risk living to see Gavin Moore become the lead animator of Knack 2.

Excellent, I will be picking this up then. Art style looks phenomenal.

I love how the levels are illuminated by spotlights and project shadows.

I just hate it in general, no matter the genre or tone. It really dusts my doilies when the lead stands around staring into oblivion while a side character prattles on and on to him or herself in some one-sided conversation that makes no sense and usually lends the scene zero drama. A protagonist with an actual personality does wonders when keeping me engaged in what's happening on screen.
But that's pretty much the only slight I have against Puppeteer.
Only thing I didn't like about the demo is how jump height is the same whether you tap x or hold it. I want more control over the jump height. I mean, obviously the game will be designed around not having variable jump heights, but I feel like that limits its platforming a bit.
Still, super excited.

Reading this thread shows how bad of a job Sony has done with showing this game off. Even people on GAF don't know what it is
It's pretty damn sad, yeah. This game has so much charm, I think it could actually do very well with good marketing.

The demo is only available to download on the EU store, but it's a piss-easy procedure to set up an EU account and get it that way. No risk involved.
Just be warned that, if you're going to get the demo, it's a hefty size. 5.7GB or so.

I so agree! Jumping being the same no matter how hard you press the button nagged me a bit too.

It's not on the Vita dude.
After LBP's floaty ass jumps I kind of like a more standard jump, but I know what you mean.

So this has a PS+ discount on the NA PSN store. The pre-order is going for $35.99. It would be nice if Sony did this more often, at least with their first party games.

Excited for this, i just hope I have the money to pick it up, there's so much coming out that I have to pick and choose
What? Why? How?
Indeed, that's a weird one. Reminded me a lot of Trine... But i can't see SoTD in there.

No demo in NA. Dumb decision SCEA. Preordered for $30, most likely returning it.
