I preordered the game when the watches were available, I hadn't even played 999...


I played it last week, I'm a changed man... I feel like the Morphogenetic Fields made me send a message to my old self to pre-order VLR before playing 999, I really can't wait.

 

[Leeness]

Woo! I have no money, but I'm putting this on the credit card, in case it gets rare.

Screenshots in the OP are from the superior version

In short, you'll live!

That's a funny thing to say, considering they're from the version with shitty capacitative touch screen controls.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I'm getting the 3ds version just because 999 was on the DS, I should simply buy both.

the correct answer

 

[Tailzo]

First of all: Is this really releasing on both 3ds and vita in Europe?

Also, what's this about control issues? And the graphics seem less charming than on ds. I guess 2d>3d.

 

[Volcynika]

First of all: Is this really releasing on both 3ds and vita in Europe?

Yes, Rising Star Games is publishing it next month.

 

[SolarKnight]

Yes to the first question, and to the second, it's a simple matter of stylus>>>finger from what I understand.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Just finished 999 myself last week, the ending BLEW MY MIND.

Came on here and was shocked to see that the sequel was literally coming out this month. The only fear is that I won't be able to find it anywhere.

 

[notworksafe]

Can't wait for this! Was sad before that I couldn't get a demo, but now I'm glad I can go in fresh!

There's always the digital version on PSN, which releases on PSN on 10/23

3DS version isn't perfect either, that scan line-covered bottom screen makes no sense and is a pain to stare at for long periods of time during escape sequences.

 

[Schadenfreude]

I love the OT, Volcynika. You did a great job. I already got my copies preordered. Now to play the waiting game.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Yeah, but I've got no Vita.

 

[Roto13]

Yes to the first question, and to the second, it's a simple matter of stylus>>>finger from what I understand.

Also playing it with buttons (at least the Vita version, I dunno about the 3DS version) is awful. The cursor moves way too fast, and the button to slow it down is also the "cancel" button so when you're zoomed in on something like a phone, there's no way to make your cursor move at a more manageable rate.

3DS version might be the same, but it probably won't be much of an issue with the resistive touch screen being precise enough anyway.

 

[Mattakuevan]

For me its simple enough that I played 999 on the DS, so I'll play VLR on the 3DS.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Oh, this week can't go by fast enough. Gah then I have to wait for Amazon's shipping.

Still, GOTY in 1 week, starting......NOW!

 

[GaimeGuy]

yesssssssssssssss

 

[Kagari]

My most anticipated game for the rest of the year, right here.

 

[Noi]

Oh jeeze, just 7 days left. I haven't even played the demo cause I want to just dive into the game knowing NOTHING about it. Sad that I couldn't nab one of the watches cause Amazon blows when it comes to PR, but what can you do.

This week can't be over quick enough!

 

[AwesomeSauce]

Oh man I can't wait!

Going to pick up a stylus for the vita along with this game.

 

[Tagg9]

Yay! I really wish Future Shop and Best Buy were selling it in Canada, but I guess I'll just grab it from EB Games.

 

[Koroviev]

Anyone know the size of the Vita download? If it's not too big, this *might* be my first digital Vita game, depending on whether or not I like the demo. PSN is finally back up, so I'm going to give it a try.

 

[Spierek]

Releasing in a bajillion years in Europe. But I can wait. I can withstand that.

This has been my most anticipated game of the year since Jan. 1st.

It's only four weeks!

 

[Thores]

Aaaaaaaa, I can't believe it's finally this close! I've got it (and a watch) preordered, if it's anywhere near as good as 999 it'll be a definite contender for my 2012 GOTY. Can't wait.

 

[Koroviev]

I have to be honest...I'm really impressed with the demo. The presentation is phenomenal. Given that there is JP voicework in the full game, I think I might actually have to give this a chance. While I wasn't enamored with 999, VLR seems to have rectified most of the issues I had with it. Day 1? Very possible.

 

[CronoShot]

My body is so ready. 999 was nothing short of phenomenal.

I just hope my preorder with the watch goes through. It's still not showing a ship date or anything...

 

[GundamBanshee]

Kickass OT. Can't wait.

This calls for a new super-quality avatar to celebrate.

Gonna go ahead and post my demo playthroughs in case anyone would like to see them, or hear the American VA-work.

One more week till Chiaki Omigawa and Rokuro Naya! I have a thing for their really distinct voices.

The opening looks wonderful. I really wasn't expecting that level of polish.

 

[Tagg9]

Wow, now I'm really happy! Best Buy must have just added it.

 

[UberTag]

Do we know who all the American VA's are?

Most of them have already been called out on the VLR Wikipedia page.
Plenty of the usual West Coast veterans including Wendee Lee, Liam O'Brien, Laura Bailey, Karen Strassman, Erin Fitzgerald and Cindy Robinson.

Are you allowed to disclose the file size of the full game for Vita? I'm leaning toward digital, but if the file size is large, then I might be better off preordering a physical copy.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Awwwww yeah! I am SO ready! Hype overload! I....I....

 

[idlethreats]

!!! It's only a week away! I completely forgot that it was coming up this soon. The next seven days are going to be agonizing in the best possible way!

Really curious to see how the game plays on one screen this time.

 

[MatthewB92]

Can't wait to get my watch! :O

 

[Dark Schala]

Can't wait, anticipated game, etc.

One more week till Chiaki Omigawa and Rokuro Naya! I have a thing for their really distinct voices.

I think I'm gonna play it with the JP voices too. Too bad it seems like Kosuke Toriumi was just used for that promo movie because I don't think Sigma is voiced at all in-game(?).

Edit: Wait, Ben, if you're reading this, did you say that the English script and Japanese voice would diverge considerably? I imagine that technical terms would differ a lot because it couldn't be helped.

 

[Hasemo]

Great OT!

As for the game, I've platinumed it a few months ago and can definitely say it's awesome. Still have a few nitpicks regarding the mechanics, but it's so much better than replaying 999 for different endings.

 

[zroid]

The 3DS version is in 3D, right?

That would probably determine which one I buy.

 

[Hellraider]

Freaking excited about this!Having a PAL release so close to the North American one is amazing!


Pre-ordered, which all of you from PAL-land should do, and waiting.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Of course.

 

[michaelius]

Any idead how hard it is to platinum ?

 

[demidar]

Any idead how hard it is to platinum ?

Probably not too hard considering you can jump all over the story without needing to replay the start parts (or did I get that wrong?). But I haven't actually played it yet so it's just a guess.
