so they've announced every character...
kinda disappointed with no Sora or Cloud...I'm guessing DLC at some point.
both this and Persona 4 Golden on the same day
I'm not beat for dude who said that.
Either way still copping Day 1.This guys' impressions got me hyped up though lol.
Played this game extensively at Eurogamer today. I say extensively, we couldn't put this fukker down. I went to the show with four other dudes and we were all itching to sit down and play multiplayer, all of us very competitive too. All the characters - that's the entire roster - was available to play right there on the show floor, and we gave it tons and tons of goes. I tried to work my way through all the chars, but only managed just over half of the roster.
But yeah, we couldn't get enough of it. First of all, I thought it looked pretty astounding really, especially the environments, such a vibrant and lovely looking game. Vita version is, as said, identical apart from controls that are slightly more difficult to accustom to.
Secondly, you guys should've seen the crowds. It was one of the only games still pulling people in droves for just one more go, even as the place was about to close. Only the very most pre-emptively bitter of cynics couldn't have a great time with it. It's a fukking mighty crowd pleaser of a game, just like it's inspiration.
Everyone's trepidation about the Super system disappears once you play the fukking thing and realised how good it is. I had serious problems landing supers for a while - fukked up the Vita controls and kept getting hit mid-activation the other times. I played mainly PS3 but a bit of Vita. I stuck mainly with Lv1's as a tactic but branched out occasionally and used a few Lv2's like Big Daddy's. Saw the occasional Lv3 kicking off but it seemed a fairly rare, and special occurrence, apart from Kratos' 3 which we saw a few times because my mate Dave kept saving up for it. We mostly saw Lv1's and 2's, another of my mates was loving the hell out of Drake's pushing the column over one, he scored three kills with it at one point. There's nothing like activating a super and wiping all your friends with it in one go, just the noise itself is so satisfying.
I started off with Jak and Daxter and made you guys proud, won by six kills on my first play and won a little Ratchet Sackboy keyring! J&D were really easy to pick up, responsive, and the little spin move plus the way Daxter get's thrown about on Jak's shoulder makes me quite nostalgic for the first game.
other characters I tried were:
Big Daddy
Drake
Kratos
Dante
Raiden
Spike
Nariko
Evil Cole
Parappa
Ratchet
Sweet Tooth
I walked away from the show with Spike as hands-down, my favourite character, with Nariko a close second. Spike is fun, easy to use, armed to the teeth with awesome gadgets, and I owned the battlefield with him. Didn't really discover his monkey summoning moves on first play, but there'll be time for that later.Nariko, Dante, Kratos and Raiden were all immensely powerful as well. Everyone gravitated towards their own favourites though.
Favourite stage has got to be Stowaways. It's goddamn beautiful, guys, and the transition from cramped to massive really changes the dynamic of the battle. Had a go on all of them at some point, including Alden's Tower.
So yeah, completely positive experience, couldn't be happier. fukk the haters. This was game of the show for our merry lot, and we played everything - God of War Ascension, TR, Rising, Hitman, AC3, DMC.
It also made me think about how much joy it brings as it is, with or without DLC characters. I know you guys are feeling sore about the roster not being what you thought it should be, but you should still stay hyped because what the game has, in terms of characters, stages, gameplay and charm is believe it or not, ENOUGH. I hope Kat gets in there and I think there's a few little shames in what was picked, but overall I just can't wait for this beast to come out so I can started kicking ass and taking names again as soon as possible.
Also got my photo taken with Ami Nakajima. :D
so they've announced every character...

I'm a little disappointed at only 20. I hope they meant that's all the characters they would reveal and there are still still hidden characters in the game without having to buy them with dlc
They mentioned that there is a boss character so Idk if that character is playable or not. Either way there are tons of things they haven't released yet because the beta leak had much more information in it that hasn't been revealed yet like King of the Hill mode, free roam etc.
No matter what though if Crash isn't in this game i will be angry.
Good thing I have a Vita. I was thinking of getting plus anyway since I prefer to play this on my TV anyway.
Beta is up brehs. 551MB on Vita store. Just search for "beta" and you'll see it.
Yea I think the servers are either not up or are jammed cuz I can't connect.
Weird. The last two beta's worked flawlessly upon searching. It loaded up instantly on some COD matchmaking shyt. I guess the servers aren't up yet or something. Training mode for new users is a good idea that I'm glad they put in.i keep pressing connect like its really doing anything
my boy Sly looks fresh tho.
