Saw this on the PS Blog & on the community FFA thread.

Our friends at Tin Giant have been working night and day to bring Insomniac’s PS3 game to the PS Vita system and to provide our fans with a great game. While the original delay has helped us make the game better, we still need more time to bring the game up to the standards expected by our fans.

In order to do this, the launch date for Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault for PS Vita has moved to Spring 2013. We realize that this delay may be disappointing for our fans, but please know that we are doing our best to get the game into your hands as soon as possible.

For those of you who have purchased the PS3 version of the game and are waiting for your PS Vita entitlement, we want to make it up to you as best we can. On the release date for Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault for PS Vita, we will be offering Ratchet & Clank: Deadlocked for the PS3 system as a free download to all of our fans who purchased Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault for the PS3 system (digitally or on disc). The giveaway will become available when Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault for PS Vita releases.

American customers get Deadlocked while Europeans get Motorstorm RC when FFA Vita hits.

To be eligible you’ll just have to have played your PS3 copy of the game once, while connected to the internet, by the end of this week.

 

[dragonflys545]

Getting the game today.

 

[Tizoc]

So if I buy R&C FFA now or soon can I still get Deadlocked?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

What's happening at Insomniac? Two delays.

 

[Twinduct]

Tin Giant is doing the PSV port, and I'd rather they take their time to perfect it then release a shitty version.

I love Deadlocked so much. Hopefully we can get it free if we buy FFA today...gonnna do dat.

 

[Mucudadada]

We did not develop the Vita version.

 

[KalBalboa]

Looks like it. I'd buy it soonish, it's a great game for $20. Hell, you arguably get three games for $20 at this rate.

 

[krae_man]

Free Deadlocked? Awesome!

Not just hurry up with my Poster James!

 

[Seventy5]

I am disappointed about the delay, but I will live. Free Deadlocked is a great mea culpa though, I was gonna buy it day 1 anyway. Stay classy Insomniac, love you guys.

 

[NBtoaster]

When is Deadlocked out?

 

[Ein Bear]

Or Motorstorm RC if yer in EU! ... yeah

Yeah, wtf is this? :/

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

We did not develop the Vita version.

Ahh! Perfect. Thanks!

 

[KalBalboa]

When is Deadlocked out?

Spring with no concrete date yet.

 

[steveovig]

If Deadlocked has trophies, I'd be in for sure!

 

[Twinduct]

Yeah, wtf is this? :/

No idea lol. But man it's like the bad rats of PSN or something.

 

[Impeccable]

Bethesda should take notes on how to do things.

Thanks Insomniac!

 

[Vashetti]

Why do the US get Deadlocked but UK gets Motorstorm MC?

Disgraceful.

 

[kaching]

Seems like more than they should have to do to make up for a simple delay but thoroughly appreciated, regardless.

 

[Mr Swine]

Bethesda should take notes on how to do things.

Thanks Insomniac!

Why? Skyrim works fantastic on PC!... Oh wait....

;P

 

[Wario64]

I wonder if the free code I grabbed from @insomniacgames the other month gives me this entitlement for free as well

 

[ConradCervantes]

We did not develop the Vita version.

Precisely why it was delayed.

 

[krae_man]

Thanks Insomniac!

All 4 One was Skyrim levels of bad(so broken it probably should not have passed cert) and we didn't get a make up for that.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Damn, I guess I can wait a bit longer for the Vita version

 

[RatskyWatsky]

So if I buy FFA today, will I get Deadlocked HD for free when it comes out? Or is this only for people who bought FFA on launch?

 

[Square Triangle]

So this Deadlocked, is it the PS2 classic or an HD remake?

 

[KalBalboa]

So this Deadlocked, is it the PS2 classic or an HD remake?

HD remake.

 

[artorias the abysswalker]

but I get deadlocked free anyways cause I bought HD collection? either way, free deadlocked.

 

[krae_man]

So if I buy FFA today, will I get Deadlocked HD for free when it comes out? Or is this only for people who bought FFA on launch?

I have no idea how they could tell when retail versions were bought. Deadlocked will probably just be available for free for a limited period when it goes live.

 

[boingball]

Disgraceful.

Indeed. Thank you SCEE for giving me a game for free for which I got the Platinum a year ago.

 

[Thoraxes]

Hopefully they don't delay the Vita version till September.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Hopefully they don't delay the Vita version till September.

Coming to 3DS!

 

[sh4mike]

I own FFA but do not plan to buy a Vita. Will I get Deadlocked for free when the Vita version of FFA is released?

 

[LiquidSolid]

Yep. SCEE being SCEE. Useless.

 

[KalBalboa]

Go talk to the PS+ thread. They'll love you there.

My guess is that if you add the disc to your PSN download list (by going to Disc Benefits, etc), it'll also add Deadlocked to your download list too. You don't need a Vita to do that.

 

[Dragun619]

Sweet, Was gonna buy Deadlocked HD anyways but it looks like I'll get it for free.

 

[Sora_N]

I might do this, but I probably can't buy it till next month.

This. Deadlocked/Gladiator is so underrated ! They got rid of not so great platforming gameplay to give us just pure shooting fun. Put it at max difficulty settings and you'll enjoy the funnest Ratchet game.

 

[MikeE21286]

"The giveaway will become available when Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault for PS Vita releases."

yeah, need to wait to buy it.

 

[BlackLagoon]

Note that to qualify, in EU at least, you'll have to have played R&C: Q-Force while connected to the internet before the end of this week.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

Worth it for Deadlocked. FFA, not so much.

 

[GraveRobberX]

I WANT ANOTHER PLATINUM JAMES!

Give me the double dip Vita Plat version for R&C FFA

I need it!

Gotta grab those 10 last percent before that !

 

[Takao]

SCEA really doesn't think it's possible for a person to own a Vita and not a PS3, huh? lol

 

[Twinduct]

Well this is for peeps who bought it on PS3 though. Don't see any mention that you'll get the PS3 game if you just buy the Vita version?

 

[Skyzard]

That's pretty unfair to call Motorstorm the badrats of PSN It's a decent game, great rc game, but not that impressive and it was a launch title and even had a complete edition release a few months ago for under a tenner..pretty sure most people who was interested in it have it already.
