Pretty excited for this based on everything I've seen so far. I've had Velocity Ultra on my Vita for months now but still haven't gotten around to playing it. Gonna try and play it this weekend to get ready for this one.

I can't say for sure regarding this game, but Velocity Ultra was a heck of a meaty game.
In Velocity Ultra you had 50 levels which got progressively more challenging. You could spend at least 3 or 4 hours just doing whatever was minimally required to complete them. On top of that, you had all sorts of additional goals (attain certain scores, beat specified times, etc.), and could compete with your buddies on online scoreboards. If you're a real completionist who likes to get the most out of a game (and crave a platinum trophy), you could be looking at an investment of 10 to 20 hours.
don't forget the extras in the flight computer.
they basically included their first game for free
I prefer Show Thumb Respect and #thumbkindahero. It'd be great if FuturLab could get Michael Strahan to push those puns.
Joke explanation for Europeans:
Michael Strahan is a respected football player - the good American football, not that boring soccer garbage. He retired and got a job on a daytime talk show cohosting with what would be best described as an anorexic mop in a dress. Despite winning the Superbowl, his new gig is probably his most impressive achievement, given the fact that the huge gap between his front teeth makes him incapable of pronouncing the letter S.

Worth checking out just for the OST alone (awesome game aside).

13 quid... the fuck?!
Well, it must be a lot bigger than Velocity Ultra, because I wasn't expecting that price. Now I'm extra glad it's free with PS+.

You use touch screen for teleporting? Man i can even imagine how difficult that must be. And so slow too! Heh
What? It's instant. Tap where you want to go. How is that not faster than using the right stick?

Having to take your fingers off the controls to tap where you want to go and then get your hands back again. Compared to just flicking the analogue stick, which is basically instant too. I'm sure it works for you man, I just can't imagine being able to do it that way

I was a hybrid user. Most of the time I would use the conventional method, but there were some stages where using the touch screen made it easier and faster to teleport.

I'm happy I'm getting it for free. At 16 I would probably have waited for a discount otherwise.

I don't take my fingers off the controls. Only one finger is needed to tap.
My GOD this looks AWESOME.
I loved Velocity Ultra. Didn't get to finish it but gawd damn I liked it.
And dat platinum trophy title. I swear to you GAF, this will be my first platinum. And I'm seriously thinking to never ever get another one again, purely because when people will look at my trophies they'll just see Yippee kai YAY!!!

i Hate the fact you have been playing this since last Friday.
But then again you're like free advertising.Platted the first one without touchscreen teleporting.
analogue for life, is like second nature.

Awesome. I got velocity ultra from PS+ a few months back I immediately fell in love with it. Can't wait to see what this has in store for us.

All I want to know is how much of the game are you out the ship? Those parts look more fun than the main game if im honest.

Over on the PS blog they said it's about 50/50 in and out of the ship.

They will play the game anyway!

I got it at the beginning of August, lol.
Damn you!! Why has it been done so long before the release date?
There are two people with the platinum. I'm sure one of them is Wario64, are you the other?
Guess they wanted to give reviewers plenty of time to play it properly
I'm not. One of the guys is off PlaystationTrophies i think. Dunno who the other is.
Because this game deserves more than 2 weeks to complete, so you can give a better review.
The world may never know...

Oh, you use the right stick for that now? Don't you also shoot with the right stick (the trailer had 360 degree shooting)? How does that work? In the original you held a button to move the teleportation reticule with the same stick you used to control the ship, right? Because the PSP only had one stick, I suppose.
Sorry, I meant left stick. D'oh

Ok, so it's pretty much the same as in the original? Hold a button, move the reticule instead of the ship, release the button, teleport? That's cool, it worked well.
Yup. Teledashing (teleporting on foot) works the same way

I'm pretty sure Carl's been playing this for almost a month now.

Looking forward to this. I really should go back and finish Velocity Ultra; a great game but I found it pretty hard and never finished.
Heh, i keep getting the same feeling.
