GODDAMMIT CHLOE! I wish I saw this post before I bought it.
2D games that force analog stick control are some of the worst things in gaming.

I'm streaming Strider on PS4 right now if any of you would like to join and hang out

Hm. Played the PS3 demo on hard and finished it up. Hard mode is the best experience for the game.
despite the 30fps limit I didn't really experience any drops with the gameplay. I think it's locked. there's obviously things missing from the game such as Strider's hair effects and other neat particles, but I honestly wouldn't mind buying the PS3 version.

I thought they said they wiped their hands clean of Strider. Good news if not though.
Regardless, it should go to Capcom.

Japan gets a PS3 retail release with Strider 1 and 2.
I don't believe we get anything in the States despite the platform.
No, that's the Japan only ps3 physical release, which includes download codes for the PS1 versions of Strider and Strider 2.
Edit: Beaten!!
PS4 version has much more particle effects/juice and better framerate than PS3 version.
Yeah I'd like to know if there are differences in performance if any. If the PS3 version's ok, I might just get that.
Really? Sucks to hear, I'll get it on pc soon then.

I need website to buy psn plus $ and get direct code from internet
Because i change my account from europe to canada .
pcgamesupply.com is pretty good.
Reminds me of Little Big Planet, except at least I know for sure that used analog AND moving between planes. If Strider doesn't make a compelling case there then what the hell? Hopefully the D-Pad's used for items at least, not that they can't patch a toggle in similar to what Puppeteer has.

Is there actual analog movement, or just digital movement mapped to the analog stick?

Pretty sure the d-pad is used to toggle the scythes. Like right is fire, left is ice, down is that purple one, etc
D-Pad is for cypher modes
I doubt it unless you are using xpadder or something like that. You wouldn't want to use the stick to select your power anyways.

I have only played the demo but coming from a fresh Strider 2 PSX play through I have to say I am pretty disappointed with how the speed and movement feels. Obviously I haven't seen all the level / enemies but what is present in the demo is very bland. Hoping I can see more of the game before I decide whether or not to make a purchase, a damn shame as normally a new Strider game would be an instant purchase. Do not like the power ups making it where you cannot destroy certain enemies by normal means, I don't mind optional power ups but when it forces me to use it ala DmC colored enemies that's where I draw the line.

Strider doesn't do anything halfway.

Damn. Total amateur move then. Should've given the player the option to choose.

There's a free demo out there.

What did you expect?
The EU PSN is a half-baked compared to JP or US.
There isn't even a demo.

How do you actually just get the demo? I go to the demo section and it only has the option to pay for the full game

Really? I think it controls perfectly tight and it's fast as hell.
I'm personally not getting any analog. If you slowly move the stick up and down while running and attacking, only at a certain point will it move to the next animation (diagonal), then it has range before the next (completely up or down). Same with crouching.
If I'm wrong, then forgive me...could be bad at detecting analog or something.
Wait. What? Make a 2D game and use the 3D control stick? Or at least include the option.

For some reason, I've noticed younger games don't care about d-pads. I guess we are now at that point where we have a generation of gamers that have only used analog sticks.
I still don't understand how a 2D side scrolling game can go through development and testing and no one bring up not using the d-pad. Especially considering Strider doesn't have analog movement.
Can we just get a reversal like Puppeteer? D-pad for movement, analog for weapons.

Fucking EPIC!
Analog controls are a non-issue (IMO).
The only things I don't like are the checkpoint system (it's not bad or anything, but I consider it an archaic mechanism in general) and the fact that you can't keep playing from where you left off in the demo if you unlock the full version. Instead, you have to start over. No biggie though. This game is all about old-school reflexes and pattern memorization (at least so far), so I'll breeze right through it the second time.
