Support NeoGAF

[Chuck Norris]

Kind of sad I'll probably never play this

 

[Ratrat]

I should get a vita.

If only there were some decent bundles in japan.

 

[Shengar]

Damnit guys, look at that fu'kins number. Now I'm torn whether I should buy this with Celceta or just Celceta alone. But no matter how good it is, it's ended up being bombed thanks to Sony's genius marketing skills for releasing it near next-gen with almost no advertising (at least SCEA).

 

[Protome]

I'll give it a read and give you some feedback shortly. First thing I noticed (reading on an older version of IE) is that the text is too close to the left edge of the page, making reading a little weird.

That seems to happen based on window size, I'll see if there's anything we can do about it!

 

[Guymelef]

Sounds like a wonderful sleeper.

 

[Pistolero]

Game Kult - 9/10

I tend to trust gamekult more than the vast majority of US and Uk outlets. That is an outstanding score coming from the french website...

Then buy it. Every sale counts against the bomba.

 

[heliconsoul]

So glad I bought a Vita now, only grabbed one for remote play while they were £140 but I'm loving it. Tearaway, P4G, all the PS+ games. So good.

[Corto]

I bought the soundtrack bundle, to people that already played it, the OST is also top notch?

edit: eurogamer.pt gave it an 8

http://www.eurogamer.pt/articles/2013-11-20-tearaway-analise

"Tearaway is, to this moment, quite simply the best game on the Playstation Vita."

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

All you bastards with a Vita better buy this game. I know I know backlog. Put it there but buy it

 

[Ulumsk]

I hope it does well.

 

[thespaff]

Lots of smiles in the Media Molecule studio this morning
Thanks for everyone's kind words! <3

 

[wouwie]

Media Molecule is one of my favourite studios. I loved LBP and i'm sure i'll love this too. Also, i'm really happy to see those positive reviews and i can't wait to play the game.

 

[Certinty]

Will definitely pick this up on Friday now. Can't wait!

 

[Shengar]

Then buy it. Every sale counts against the bomba.

B-but my money D:

Spoiler

Guess Wii U have to wait until my birthday in January

 

[Corto]

Thanks for everyone's kind words! <3

Congratulations on what it seems another very special game!

 

[Pistolero]

Kudos to Media Molecule for this must-have gem of a title! We have another strong contender for portable GOTY...
I hope Tearaway sales reward the audacity of the project, and I get goosbumps thinking about their yet to be discussed PS4 endeavour...

 

[gembel]

how big is the download size on PS Store?

 

[RalchAC]

Kind of sad I'll probably never play this

You can always do... this.

 

[SmokyDave]

All you bastards with a Vita better buy this game. I know I know backlog. Put it there but buy it

I'm letting this one to the front of the queue I reckon. I did the whole 'but backlog' hesitation but then I realised I'll be getting a PS4 a week later so the perfect window is the week after release.

 

[thespaff]

Anyone knows the size of the digital version?

Roughly:

EU: 1.3gb
USA and elsewhere: 1gb

 

[grounded_dreams]

how big is the download size on PS Store?

In the EU it is 1.3GB in size:

Congrats guys! Will play on Friday and you're making my wait for my PS4 on the 29th much more bearable. Time will fly

 

[SpecialAgentZ]

Of a Vita exclusive with a metascore >=90.

Persona 4 Golden metascore is 93, man.
Why ignore it?

 

[shink]

All you bastards with a Vita better buy this game. I know I know backlog. Put it there but buy it

Yes. Pre-ordered in June. Such a long wait!

 

[Chuck Norris]

You can always do... this.

I can't access US deals. But I want to get the Vita TV anyway, which means I probably wont be able to play this

 

[Sleeplessnights]

This is the only area that is looking sketchy. IGN said it only took them 5 hours, although someone else here said it took him 10 hours his first time and 20-30 hours to 100%. Ultimately I think it comes down to what kind of pace you take it at.

Thanks a bunch

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

If I knew the store would actually have the game readily available I think it would hilarious to go to a midnight launch for Xbone and pickup Tearaway. You imagine the face of the person ringing you out? Lol.

Can't wait to pick this up on Friday. Really wish SCEA would have supported this better. A $199 bundle with memory card could have been a great holiday bundle, that is actually for all ages and not just Mature for once.

 

[Ratrat]

Preordered even though I don't own a vita... I'm shocked that this is the game that pushed me over the edge.

Considering the comments in replayability I'm guessing there's no user created content?

 

[davonaytor]

Playstation blog says that Tearaway is out in Australia, but I can't see it on PSN. I guess it's only retail until the EU store updates?

 

[bombshell]

Vita TV can play all Vita games, both physically and digitally.

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

Persona 4 Golden metascore is 93, man.
Why ignore it?

I believe he counts P4G as an "Enhanced Port" so it would technically not be exclusive to the Vita. But of course thats all up for a pointless debate which really wouldnt matter either way.

 

[mickagau33]

wow, 9/10 from Gamekult ! It is so rare they give that score, I'm impressed !

 

[Shengar]

Vita TV can play all Vita games, both physically and digitally.

wel,lol of course not game like this that heavily reliant on Vita's featurelike the touch screen. Vita TV can't even support Gravity Rush you know?

 

[gruenel]

Damn, didn't expect it to be that good.

Day 1!

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

Vita TV can play all Vita games, both physically and digitally.

It can't play all Vita games. Gravity Rush, Uncharted, Virtues Last Reward, and DJ Max Technica Tune are some examples of non compatible software.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

nope.

 

[Corto]

Buy a Vita and use it as a controller.

[JacksUsername]

Holy shit, Friday is going to be an amazing day for gaming.

 

[bombshell]

It can't play all Vita games. Gravity Rush, Uncharted, Virtues Last Reward, and DJ Max Technica Tune are some examples of non compatible software.

Sorry, didn't know some games are incompatible.

 

[Thomas_Daly]

Vita has a game REJOICE and decent exclusive game might have to buy it now

 

[thomasmahler]

When exactly is the game out on the PSN Store?

 

[Deleted member 125677]

To be fair, outlets were very dumb with how they reviewed Killzone Mercenary (comparing it to full console releases), although I'm not getting that from Tearaway reviews yet.

Sure, this happens all the time. I remember Pikmin 3 got ducked because "although it is a great game, it's not a real system seller for the Wii U." It was like they criticed the Pikmin franchise for not being Mario or something.

Reviewers write dumb stuff all the time, but it's better to take on these concrete points than blindly throw the "media so biased" narrative.

 

[Corto]

When exactly is the game out on the PSN Store?

22nd, Friday in Europe. But you can preload it and it will automatically unlock at 00:00 of the 22nd.

 

[Asd202]

Wow Vita killer app right here.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Holy fuck those reviews... .

 

[Certinty]

It can't play all Vita games. Gravity Rush, Uncharted, Virtues Last Reward, and DJ Max Technica Tune are some examples of non compatible software.

So in other words it can't play 90% of the best Vita games? Sounds promising.

 

[donkey show]

Thanks for everyone's kind words! <3

You guys suck.

Awesome work again y'all! Can't wait to put the game through its paces.

 

[Raonak]

WOW. I was expecting like 8s. Media Molecule really proved they aren't a one trick pony (not that I had any doubt)
