>The world itself is 2.5-times the size of the original game, and there are over three times as many missions. >Toyama said that the team “made sure that there's lots of things you can do in the missions, it's not all the same thing.” >Also new to Gravity Rush 2 are “Talismans,” which add special effects to Kat. >“Many of them are things that you would probably guess," Toyama said, "things that make the gauge decrease slower, things like that, very basic, but there are others that are a little bit more finicky, where something will become half as powerful, but as a result another thing becomes twice as powerful, things like that." >The better Talismans can be discovered through the game’s new mining mode, which Toyama isn’t sharing much information about, but said are “separate stages that allow players to gain power-up items that are different from ones they would get from ordinary gameplay.” It will have an asynchronous online element where players can get help from their friends, as well as a challenge mode where your friends can challenge you to complete missions at a certain speed, and their ghosts will be imported into your game and you can race them. >The mining theme comes into play as, at the start of the game, Kat loses her gravity powers and ends up in a poor mining town, where she is forced to work before getting back her powers and venturing into a new city.
Hopefully I'd like to get the Ps4Neo and start out with four games this year. >Bloodborne >FFXV >The Last Guardian >Gravity Rush 2 I'm pretty hype. Nier 2 would make this year perfect.
Henry Baker
this will be game of the year mark my words
Noah Johnson
It will be comfy game of the year
Jace Kelly
I'm just glad GR2 is actually happening tbqh!
Jaxon Hernandez
Nnggggggghhh
Nicholas Cox
I just hope the combat isn't spam kick and gravity kick on end.
Joshua Campbell
>change costumes I hope there's a lot more in this game. I want Kat in Raven's outfit.
Carson Reyes
Dam you got my hopes up for new info especially with that pic.
It will be good though period.
Lincoln Clark
The shit right here is the first game I've platinumed, EVER. Loved it. Got the HD version two weeks ago, plated it in 25 hours game time. What a lovely game. Characters were shallow as fuck but there was a Studio Ghibli feel to their design which got me hooked.
I would have loved more down to earth mission, like when Kat is a house maid. I want progress to be slow and steady. I want to start as nothing and end up a god, just like I did in real life.
Ethan Lopez
When did you first play this game? On the vita?
Robert Myers
The talismans is new info, I believe. I don't remember them being mentioned before anyway.
>tfw have the plat on both Vita and PS4 >tfw still play it occasionally just to be in that setting and fly around Feels so, so good.
Caleb Flores
WTF
There's new info! OP why didn't you include the link in the OP. This is fucking crazy dude
Liam Jones
RELEASE WHEN
Dylan Ramirez
Hopefully it gets good media attention so it sells
Oliver Martinez
Serious question: why do people hype this shit up so much? I completed the game recently and it's mediocre in pretty much every way from the bland, empty world to the repetitive, shallow combat, to the poor writing and story to the last gen graphics to the horrible mission design. The only fun part was the gravity gimmick for the first few minutes and a few races.
Elijah Evans
I want it this year but then it wouldn't really be successful because there's a couple of big games releasing soon.
Charles Collins
No it was my first time playing it with the PS4 version.
Colton Phillips
If you don't understand why people like it after having played the game I don't think you ever will and that's fine, its purely a matter of taste but please, please let us enjoy these threads, its my favorite game and I really like talking about it.
Jaxon Davis
It's a new IP with a unique gameplay concept and setting that is well executed and has fantastic atmosphere. The game is by no means perfect, but it has plenty of solid and great aspects to it.
Personally it basically fits my dream game on multiple levels, and I fucking love it.
Jordan Martinez
Because it's fun.
Also because it's the first Sony exclusive IP since LBP to focus less on plot and visuals and more on gameplay. Seriously, GR's story is a heaping mess of unfocused tomfoolery.
Henry Rodriguez
Alright I just finished reading though the article, I only read the first line of OP's post and just assume it was a regular thread.
The talismen sounds cool but the online component and the 'mining' part sound really awesome, anything that'll make me work for skills and allow me to spend more time in the world is a plus.
It's got a really inviting wordly feel, feels really unique and fresh. I already know I am going to be spending so many hours zooming in and out of this town haha, it looks more detailed than ever.
Asher Anderson
This one I feel represents the new world a bit better and really announces the sense of scale in the game.
Bentley Nelson
I feel like the story was purposefully written to be the first part and they likely had plans for the sequel very early. Hence the sequel teaser.
It sets up everything decently - Kat is interesting, the casts dynamic is set, the world/setting history is interesting and its started up a bunch of plot points. It just ends after that without going beyond that.
Considering that, I don't really see much of an issue with the story and I quite enjoyed it, but I do get why people aren't into it because it just kind of sets everything up then leaves it like that.
Jacob Powell
I liked the story, other than the end. Way better than most capeshit. What didn't you like?
Brandon Sanchez
Trust me, I like Kat as a character and her interactions, but I'd be lying if I said the story wasn't a mess. I don't even see how it could have been a small piece of a bigger picture. No plotline lasts for more than 4 chapters before going off the rails to something completely different. You go from being a lost Kat, to decorating the sewers, to being a vigilante, to searching for your soulmate, to being an undercover cop, to making an oath to save the city and bring happiness to all its inhabitants... in the first fourth of the game.
I'm not looking for an epic in the sequel. I just want focus.
Wyatt Williams
You get Ni Oh instead
Noah Young
Kat will be qt of the year
Charles Bell
Screencap this - the game will be rated 90 and will be a timeless classic. Just look Kat it. ;^}
Hudson Lopez
Nope. Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games came out this year, so for the 7th consecutive year in a row, qt of the year is Rosalina.
Grayson Sullivan
>Screencap this - the game will be rated 90 and will be a timeless classic. Just look Kat it. ;^}
In all seriousness it won't, I honestly believe to hit 90 or a 90+ on metacritic requires under the table dealings otherwise critics just got for an honest but below 90 score
Nolan Lewis
At best, it'll be mid 80s. Realistically, I expect somewhere between 75 and 79.
Angel Lopez
Not sure about that if Yookah Laylee comes out in October undelayed. If it does get delayed, GR2 will definitely take the cake, I agree. The first game felt a bit restricted and it really showed how it's coming from handheld until the 3rd city or so. I especially loved the underworld and the flashback-sequences in some desert area. GR2 will definitely be a /dayone/ for me.
Adrian Baker
Nintendo's lighting isn't even delicious brown
Andrew Bell
It'll be 83 max. I can easily see this getting a 76. Don't matter to me though I loved the first one and I know it was mediocre.
Camden Cruz
As someone who finished the game who didn't really follow the story at all, can someone quickly recap what happened toward the end or where the story left off? I was too concentrated on the game.
Please
Eli Collins
I dunno. It was a mess.
Apparently, Kat time traveled to a point where Communist Russian took over, and then they decided to give Kat the best costume before trying to use the Nevi to create their own weapons, and Kat beats them up with Raven and Yunica, and that's it.
Oh and Raven totally rejected an ice cream cone like the edgehog she is.
James Davis
You save the world from those evil black things and the tsundere side-character becomes your friend. The origin of those black things is not fully clarified. End.
Grayson Barnes
Time moves slower if you are lower dowm 1 year past when Kat took over Bad guy politician took over Military police They make a nevi to fight nevi This was obviously a bad idea You don't do a triple rider kick at the end which would have been so cool Ice cream
Adam Barnes
...
Camden Diaz
Best outfit.
Wyatt Moore
Thanks for bringing me up to speed.
Mason King
Will the second game have doots as good as the first?
