Tearaway |OT| Super Iota 64

- Start date
The first trophies for that are relatively easy.....but
The Tear and its wonky motion controls. I really wish I could remap them.
EDIT: And I got my 15th Platinum ever and 1st Platinum with the Vita.

Bought the game the other day on the PSN sale and just really dug into it yesterday and wow, I wish I had bought it earlier. This game is brilliant!! I really want MM to expand on this franchise, I never thought I would enjoy it as much as I have. It's beautiful, creative, charming.....just wonderful!
Huh? Tearaway launched for $35 USD, so $17 is 1/2 the launch price.
Just finished the first chapter, and so far I'm totally not into it at all. Can you seriously not jump? I thought this was a platformer ... Even the camera movement on the right stick seems awfully restricted.
Is the gameplay just walking around and interacting with small gimmicks the whole time?
Graphics are lovely, but the story is mind numbing so far, the music is rough, the voice acting is rough, and there's barely any gameplay.

The abilities are doled out slowly.
There is plenty of action, platforming, combat, and whimsy ahead for you.
That's good news.

Dudes, there's a mouse inside a piece of cheese that looks sick... and i don't know what to do... coincidentally, i don't have all of the confetti/presents for that section (where you get the pumpkin head), anyone know what to do with that mice?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Hey guys... I want to gift Tearaway to my sister-in-law and PSN doesn't feature (that I know of) a gift option. Is there another way for me to gift her the game digitally? I read something about being able to do so via Amazon.
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Alright, will try that and see how it works. i'll update.
Just got my copy today! It's a shame i won't have much time to play until tomorrow but i'll play a little more at lunch break.
Anyway, anyone else got a bug at the beginning when after killing the first enemies with the finger, the next wave never appears and can't continue? It happened to me and had to restart the game u,u

I just bought Tearaway Monday at 3am when it was still $17 on PSN. I've been playing it for a couple minutes here and there and it's pretty fun so far. I don't really feel like it's amazing (I'm only like 45 minutes in though), but it's definitely a great game.

I know we basically never agree on anything, but I feel obliged to mention that the game's first couple stages are a tutorial that overstays its welcome. Things pick up quickly somewhere around the Barn.

Bought this for full price last night. Didn't really follow its development at all! nor even see a trailer for it, but i heard the game was fantastic, struggling, and a good example of what games the Vita should get more of.
Blind purchased to support MM and Vita, an hour in but loving it so far, and it is not my type of game traditionally.

Tearaway was one of my Christmas gift. I started playing it yesterday night, and I just couldnt stop. Finally got to bed at 6:00.
Its special.

Bought it for myself. Been smiling ever since. I wish the Vita camera was better, but fuck it, the game is amazing and I almost wish there were much more touch screen moments.
I'm at the Barn right now. Goddamn this is why I love video games.

Agreed. It deserves to be the highest rated and highest selling title on Vita so hopefully the positive word of mouf and sales gives it a significant boost.

Finally got this for Christmas, so good. I'm loving how often this game actually surprises you with something new and different. My only complaint is the graphics, it looks like everything is made out of paper or something.
That's the joke.

Just finished it now.
Wow, the ending is amazing. This game is art.
Last time a game impressed me so much was Braid.
Tearaway surpassed it by tenfold, both in game mechanics and story/message.
I can't recommend it enough. Especially to people who are wondering the point of their Vita.

There are a couple of things that bugged me about this game as I was playing it. I think Media Molecule really needs someone to teach them the basics of platformer design, because this, specifically, is amateur hour:
Iota is in the air but his shadow is off to the side and not directly below him like it would be in any other good 3D platformer (including ones on N64). Similarly, there were moments like this one where it feels like they're more interested in being pretty than showing useful information:
This path (which you roll on) is slanted, but you wouldn't know it by looking at it, and even once you start rolling, it's hard to tell which direction it's slanted in. Putting some kind of pattern on it to tell you that it's always slanting towards the southeast, no matter how much it twists and turns, would have been worth whatever minor drop in prettiness quotient it would have suffered.
But yeah, it's still the year's best Vita game.

This is what a GOTY feels like!
And on the VITA?!? Love this game more than it's healthy to love a game.

I know how it feels. I ordered it for my wife on the 18th (her birthday is Dec 24th) and I didn't get it in time.
It was to be expected though, considering how popular the game has become and being that I ordered so close to Christmas. I fear they might cancel my order if they don't get it back in stock soon. I know it's going to make the perfect present for her! (if it ever ships)

any chance the amazon sale will be back?
It's $20.00 on Gamestop until the 28th. I submitted the lower price info to Amazon, but seeing as Amazon themselves are OOS, it doesn't look too good.

Just finished it, I have no words : everything seemed coherent, perfect, and complete. It's far from being the best platformer ever, yet it's a masterpiece.
I need to replay it now.
I need to replay it now.
i guess this game does not save to the cart.
used the content manager to swap games to a new memory card and didnt transfer Tearaway back to the new card thinking i didnt need it. i had 0% progress when i turned it on to go finish up a few collectables.
i think the save is still on my pc though. definitely going for plat on this one.
should be in store as well, if the sale is still on. i picked mine up in store a few weeks ago.
check the @in store pick up option on the website or call ahead if you want to be totally sure, but it shouldnt be a problem.

Does the current GameStop $20 Tearaway sale apply in-store as well or is it just online? Much thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Realize youre the outlier here. Media Molecule created magic here for most people.
