Really? I haven't seen anyone else say anything about crashing.

Completely broken. Might be my system, but I can't get through the intro. Bummer.
If you order before it goes up you can go for one of the pre-order packs.
Wow, a little shocked to hear that. Performance and stability have been rock solid for me, though I did manage to install the patch pretty early on.
No it's not. 2 hours in and works flawlessly.
Sounds like your system/copy is janked.
try redownloading it, could have got a bit corrupted, happened with jsr with me, bit odd.
15mins until it unlocks in uk?

I deleted the game and try to re-download. Funny enough that the store offers me to purchase the game even though I have bought it. Now I have the game in my download list twice.
Press the refresh symbol on the live area(home screen) and make sure to be connection to internet.
patch notes
Well, I'll get it but I'm keeping expectations in check. I'm basically expecting Luigi's Mansion 2 for the Vita- that is to say, a game that's not particularly deep, skillful, or challenging, but makes up for it anyway by always changing it up with inventive and fun design. The great presentation shouldn't hurt, either. I'm definitely not going to set myself for disappoint by expecting an actual quality platformer from MM.
I'm about 3 hours in, maybe more, and something happened i honestly didn't expect...my GOTY list started to shift, it started wiggling its way into a list i honestly though was set in stone at this point...since a few minutes ago my GOTY list top 2 games where last of us and bioshock...but if this game continues to impress me as it has with its great, innovative and fun use of the vita capabilities and unbelievable charm, then it might actually dethrone the last of us...and frankly...i did not see that coming.
You're wise to set your expectations low (generally speaking) but you've nothing to fear with Tearaway. The controls are easily on-par with any other quality 3D-platformer I've ever played, and they bear absolutely no similarities to how Sackboy controlled in the LBP games. Could easily be from a totally different dev in that respect.
I've only seen two bugs, after (pretty early game spoilers? Are they spoilers? Oink oink)
I couldn't
and after a reboot the
led to it's cutscene but then after placed me back at the beginning of the section, where I did it again leading to no cutscene and

Uh...I preordered at last minute but had no funds in my PSN wallet, put money in after the fact, but now it keeps telling me the payment hasn't processed for the game, whats going on? Am I stuck waiting till tomorrow or is Tearaway not downloadable yet? :/
EDIT: Oh apparently the Vita store screwed up and put the Jukebox pack downloadables in my list but refused to give me a means of repurchasing the preorder, so now I just have a vanilla copy of Tearway. Bums :/

I'm really surprised just how good and challenging the platforming gets a bit later into the game, it's not exactly hard but there's some risk. It's so much fun. I thought it would be more of a slow paced exploring game, and there is plenty of that, but then they'll crank things up a notch. It really is a great game, I also can't believe how good it looks, it's so clean.
When I saw that I wanted to ask here. But "suggested retail price" seems to refer to brick & mortar/standard retail, and not necessarily PSN store. But then again, why mention that price and not promote the cheaper digital option as well. It's only $5 but I kinda planned my PSN wallet accordingly, and lack of a key chain on the digital was offset by a discount (in my mind). Totally still excited for this tonight!

Lol, I bet it would be - it was on the dot here in the UK. Seems crappy it wouldn't be everywhere. Although we did have pre-orders working here...

Thanks! I think I'm gonna go digital. But I need to save room for Soul Sacrifice at the end of the month.

This?
Just finished it and some hugely rushed thoughts:
I had one of the most amazing experiences in gaming with Tearaway. I knew it was going to be a great one, but I didn't realise how much it would affect me and instantly be one of my top games of all time.
You get the feeling that it is going to be an important story from the get go. It lives up to that in spades. It's one of the most personal and fantastic games I've ever played and the best thing is, there is no way it could be the same journey for any two people.
The story has everything, from laugh out loud moments to goosebump inducing ones. You grow to care about these characters and the story is one that will make you want to rush through to see it as quick as possible.
Length is perfect in my eyes. It doesn't out stay its welcome and gives you plenty of character progression (love that one power up). It feels really solid and full of amazing and varied locations (from forests to science fiction backdrops).
I would say it is almost flawless. I had a few jerky/locked camera moments, a slight glitch where my back pad stopped working and I did notice quite a lot of slowdown, but I'm sure it's because the game is pushing the Vita hard.
Amazing, amazing game. Now onto the OST.

24,99 euro on the store right now, so probably the same in dollars.

nay I say. ah well. I may bite at midnight or just wait for my preorder tomorrow from GS.
This is annoying. I did some research on this, and apparently it's a law in some countries (i.e. Japan) that ALL cameras must make a loud shutter noise when taking a picture. Up-skirt shots and all that. :/
I'll play [on my flight] until it turns into photo op time, and put it down. Not gonna start blasting off full volume shutter noises.

I'm getting strong Rareware vibes from what I have seen of this game. Those who own it, do you feel the same way? Maybe it's the style of puzzles and all the character dialog where they need you to solve their problems so you can move on to the next point.
If it helps, most of the photography in the game is optional. I'm about 40% done, and I can think of maybe 5 or 6 pictures so far the game made me take (and I think a few of those were for optional side-activities).
It really sounds like the game resonates well with some people.
The platforming - are any of the challenges unique or compelling? Do they ever begin to offer a suitable challenge? The level design itself, does it have new ideas?

I know i think we have another Journey on our hands...
I'll keep that in mind. We'll see how it goes! If Amazon would ever ship my copy...
Seems like anywhere from 5-10 hours the first playthrough. People have been saying about 20 hours to 100%
Can you have multiple saves? I want to do a scientific test on my gf (who doesn't play video games) and just place the Vita in her hands with the game loaded and just walk away. Either that Vita will go flying across the apartment or I may never be able to part her hands from it. But I want to have my own save and her own save it if comes to that. Is that a possibility?
