Title: Limited Run Games
Post by: Medic_wheat on June 03, 2016, 09:52:18 AM

I must not be the only one that skipped Futuridium, seeing as they have a bunch left over for a second run sale.

Yeah so far the only game that really peeked my interest was Oddworld.

But the latest game seems to be a shooter of some sort. So I figured what the hell

I hadn't considered that. I haven't ever tried it. When I tried PS3 to psp I found it a bit laggy.

I picked up Futuridium.  It reminds me of an old Jag game, & since I'm nuts & have a fondness for the Jag, I kinda like the game!  I know Xeodrifter is coming this month, I already beat it on Vita digitally though, I'll still buy the physical.  It's a Metroid'esque game.  Cosmic Star Herione looks awesome, been waiting for that one.  Kinda wondering if they'll get ahold of Axiom Verge, that's a great Metroid clone.

Haven't tried it for new stuff, but perhaps it has gotten better? Should give it a test.

Just gave it a go. I couldn't get it connect directly for some reason but over the net it works fine. The lag is imperceptible. Trying to use l2 r2 by the touchpad is another matter.

y'know, f*ck these guys.
artificial scarcity- so many of these are specifically bought by resellers.
even 2/3 of the local shops around me all bought new copies of their games specifically to mark up by $30.

I would have liked to get oddworld, but nah. f*ck it.

They've at least tried to make it so you can only buy one or two copies each, rather than letting gougers buy dozens just to flip.

The next one is Octodad and comes out on Father's Day, so odds are I'll be skipping it.

I'd love them to do:

Scott  pilgrim vs the world
Duke Nukem (since the PC port is now on PSN)
Maiden of Blackwater (come on Nintendo snubbing NA with digital only?)
Mega man 9&10
Some kind of TG-16/Neo Geo compilation of the digital games available
Fez


You know stuff at the caliber of the Odd World which to date feels like the onlly highly polished game they have released physically.

I'd be interested to read up on it. Any links?  Also what were the IP holders reason(s) for declining? 

My assumption is that it would just add the IP holders money to have the game re-released in physical formate. Apart from getting royalties and maybe a copy of the game they wouldn't loose out on anythjng. At lest nothing I can readily think of.

Just from what I've heard from them talking with folks on Twitter and on forums.  They approach a lot of devs at trade shows and are always trying to strike a deal if possible.

Does anyone even play the games these guys release?  All I see is people buying as many copies as they can so they can jack the price up.  Oddworld looked ok, but some of the others?  Saturday morning rpg and breach and clear looked terrible.

Can't speak others.

Personally I am just trying to snatch up "fun" vita games. Odd world is the first game I honestly wanted. I did pick up Saturday morning RPG but that was because the eBay listing was only $20 more then the MSRP. Figured what the hell.

Granted I ended up sending that copy ask to limited run. Long story short it wasn't suppose to be sold to the public and it was leaked (the version I had). They are sending me a replacement and probably a extra goodie.

If I was in it for the rare value of it all then I would have probably kept the rare promo one I had. But I am not. I just like the idea of having a physical copy of certain digital only games. Sure I have a host of digital games but I loath that they are digital only.


Take the respelled TMNT game. Which I know I am in the minority of liking.  You can't buy it any more. And it wasn't even offered very log digitly. That urked me. Knowing there are many other people who possibly will never have the ability to play this game because it is digital only. And for many digital only games some that are actually pretty great. Eventually they may never be available for people to play or those who "own" them may one day be unable to access them.

It's why I activity pursue games even if they are re-released or as a bonus disk of digital only expanded content for other games.

Very much skipping Octodad myself. Out of all the games currently on tap I'm really hoping to get Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype.

I was going to play Oddworld but it's not PSTV compatible. So now I just have to wait until I get a PS4.

f*ck, don't tell me Oddworld won't play!  :cry:

Does anyone even play the games these guys release?

I will eventually.  Though it ended up as a needless gesture, I bought the first one (Breach & Clear) just to support the company and in hopes that they'd do more/better games in the future; I got the second one (Saturday Morning RPG) because it looked fun and I'm a sucker for RPGs; and I bought the third title (Oddworld) because I loved playing it back in the day on PC.  I skipped Futuridium, though, and can't get too excited for the next few releases: Xeodrifter, Octodad, Lost Sea (no Vita version anyway), or Soldner - X2.  I'd be more willing to buy if there wasn't so dang many of 'em, but I ain't gonna shell out $30 every two weeks.
Title: Re: Limited Run Games
Post by: Gypsy on June 07, 2016, 11:26:17 AM
Well this made me curious I went to google to see if maybe I just did something wrong.

http://www.reviews2go.com/playstation-tv-non-compatible-game-list-north-america/
https://www.reddit.com/r/VitaTV/comments/41s7sx/oddworld_new_n_tasty_not_compatible_at_launch/

So it looks like it definitely isn't compatible, unless something has changed recently.

Also I can't help but to agree with Necromancer. Their release schedule is very active. If they were releasing better games then I could buy them, but they aren't. I'll likely buy Soldner and CSH but not Octodad or Xeodrifter (not sure on this yet but I still don't even have a ps4).
Title: Re: Limited Run Games
Post by: Necromancer on June 07, 2016, 11:41:09 AM
Pffucckerins!  I hope they patch that mo-fo, else I'm gonna have two games in my meager collection that I can't even play..... until I get a real Vita.

Boo-urns on LRG for not being upfront about the incompatibility.  (or boo to me for not paying attention)
Title: Re: Limited Run Games
Post by: HailingTheThings on June 07, 2016, 05:14:17 PM
Confused. Totes though they said that every Vita game would be TV compatible. Hmm....
Title: Re: Limited Run Games
Post by: ParanoiaDragon on June 07, 2016, 07:05:47 PM
Yeah, I was hoping Oddworld was compatible.  If they don't fix it, I suppose I'll eventually play it on my Vita, but that's a game I greatly prefer to play on a big screen.  As for Xeodrifter, I enjoyed it.  It's a Metroidvania, a little on the basic side, but fun. 
Title: Re: Limited Run Games
Post by: HailingTheThings on June 07, 2016, 07:20:29 PM
If compatibility, or lack thereof, is a thing now, I'd say get it for ps4.

totally forgot about these guys, I probably would have picked up Saturday Morning RPG, but at least SÖLDNER X will be available soon. For those of you who don't have a PSTV, Walmart had these on Clearance for 19.97 and the Controller bundle ones for 29.97. Unfortunately you will have to check in store and it probably won't show up on brick seek. I picked up two a little while back and still saw them sitting in cases a 2 months ago when I checked. Most staff won't know what they are or what they look like. I only met one Walmart employee that knew what I was talking about when I mentioned Playstation TV.

Note that the box is small and will likely be in with the bottom of the Walmart glass case with the vitas or other sony hardware.

Next time I go to walmart in a day or two I can see if they still have them here locally and can pick it up and charge you cost+shipping if you are interested. Though there are also a few on amazon for sub 30 shipped for the non bundle.

Looks like Brick Seek is working to search

39362121
 
Dueal Shock and Lego Movie Bundle (No Sly, Game codes have expired)

To answer another member's question - yes, I do play the games I've bought (currently working on Oddworld).  In fact, had they not physically released them, I most likely wouldn't have played them because I boycott DLC.  I hope Limited Run keeps em coming!

Yeah LRG has been limiting people to one copy (had been 2 but lately it has been one copy per platform). Of course stores are going to buy copies to mark up. That's part of how LRG is selling out games so quickly.

I can't pat LRG too hard on the back, seeing as they're intentionally limiting production numbers to feed the collectard mindset.  I understand not wanting a warehouse full of unsold stock, but surely there's a middle ground between that and selling out within minutes, but they're worried that most current buyers won't buy at all if the production numbers were less constricted.

Generally terrible, but I was able to take advantage of a store that did that by getting complete PSP games for dirt cheap. Gamecube as well previously but Gamestop recently raised their Gamecube prices (due to their retro nonsense).

They definitely know what they are doing. Like you are saying, resellers and gotta catch em alls are a big part of how they sell out. It does bother me that despite the fact that I really do want Soldner, I may not be able to get it because they are making 3200 total copies.

I thought they took the whole limited angle due to cost from Sony to makes the physical games that are up front. Along with the cost of obtaining the rights to distribute the game from who ever owns the IP rights for these Indy games.

They're right to worry, most of the games they publish are trash and they know it. Pretty much the only thing they have going for them right now is the artificial demand from their insanely low production numbers, and if 7.3k copies of oddworld for the PS4/vita was enough to seriously drain their coffers, they don't have much.

Ah. I had thought they had already secured the rights by paying for them. I do not know how this aspect of the video game industry works. It's mostly speculation and conjecture on my part.

oh no, they're not in the business of cheap.
I do occasionally trade them some garbage for more than I could sell it for, IF I could sell it.
that's the only time i buy from them really.

Ah so they only price against Gamestop on newer stuff. Well that's just entirely terrible then.

What some of the really high priced stores will offer for some stuff is nuts. I guess they can do that when they mark up $15 games (on ebay) to $70 (real example).

I wouldn't go that far.  Breach & Clear is pretty much crap, but the rest get mediocre (Futuridium, Octodad, Saturday Morning RPG) to mostly positive reviews (Oddworld, Xeodrifter, Soldner X2).

They're not AAA gems, of course, but no reasonable person should expect that.  If the games were good enough to go toe to toe with the best, they'd have had a normal retail release already and been priced accordingly.

THANK GOD, because having a "limited run" release is the same as manna dropping from heaven to flippers and collectards' hands. I'd rather not have Yakuza 5 because it only exists on PSN than not have it because copies would be gone in a quarter of second and only available at a 300% markup from an ebay seller.

Let's not fool ourselves here, their market strategy is to sell at an absurdly low quantity so they'll all be gone no matter what's pressed on the disc. They are definitely not interested in selling a normal quantity of discs at retail, and no, they're not about "giving to the community", lol. Hell, look at their name.

I greatly enjoy the Yakuza series, so much so that I bought the game digitally. I would have bought it again physically without a doubt if I could have secured one from LRG but you are completely correct about how that would have went.

honestly, it's a really fun game, but it's a one and done game.
IE, i'll probably never play through it again, but I really enjoyed the steam version.

I can't pat LRG too hard on the back, seeing as they're intentionally limiting production numbers to feed the collectard mindset.  I understand not wanting a warehouse full of unsold stock, but surely there's a middle ground between that and selling out within minutes, but they're worried that most current buyers won't buy at all if the production numbers were less constricted.

I see what you're saying Necro, but it does seem a little unfair to me.  After all, the whole reason for their existence is to release a limited number of physical discs/games.  Anyone who just wants to play the game can buy it digitally and be done.  (If the games were exclusive and otherwise unavailable, I would understand your argument.)

Also, I bought Octodad on Father's Day and the morning run did sell out quickly.  But I checked on the 2nd run and there were still copies for sale 2 days later, though it's now sold out.  So to anyone who says they are just fueling the "collectard mindset" is being unfair because everyone had a chance to pick up Octodad at retail cost if they wanted it.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to attack the "physical-copy-tard" mindset that likes to have/own an actual game.

Pfft, fairness.  I don't know how dumb you think I am, but rest assured that I comprehend the meaning of "limited run games".  :lol:

I based my statement on all titles sold to date, not a single title produced in 40-233% greater volume and yet to be released.  :roll:

Octodad is exactly what I'd like to see, though, as a title produced in somewhat greater quantities and thus easier to snag.  Is 3500 copies (or even 5000) really all that less of a "limited release" than 1500-2500?  Compared to most games made in the tens of thousands, I say no.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to attack the "physical-copy-tard" mindset that likes to have/own an actual game.

I'll attack both, thanks.

Another point I meant to make but forgot is that Limited Run Games doesn't choose how many of each game gets made.  That is up to the developer.  At least, that's what I remember from their on-site FAQ which I'm too lazy now to look up.

I'm sure we can all get behind sending our hate towards those f*cktards who, whether the game had 100 or 4500 copies made, choose to intentionally keep them sealed and never play them.  Those f*ckers are worse than all the flippers combined.

I think the smallest run you can do on a Vita/PS4 game is about 1500 copies.

I ended up picking up xeodrifter for the vita. Not sure if I will 100% love it but figured what the hell from what reviews I have seen its very short and should be a good on the go game.

As for lost at sea. Similarly to octo dad I simply had no interest.


Now the upcoming shooter. That has my attention. The only question is which version. The vita or the PS4 copy?

I grabbed Xeodrifter.  I already beat the digital version when it first came out, but, it's a neat game so I figured I'd get the real deal.  It's no where near as good as Axiom Verge(which I also already beat), it'd be nice if that got a physical copy.

I'd love them to do:

Scott  pilgrim vs the world
Duke Nukem (since the PC port is now on PSN)
Maiden of Blackwater (come on Nintendo snubbing NA with digital only?)
Mega man 9&10
Some kind of TG-16/Neo Geo compilation of the digital games available
Fez


You know stuff at the caliber of the Odd World which to date feels like the onlly highly polished game they have released physically.
This would be great. Megaman and Scott Pilgrim I hope could happen. I doubt TG16 will ever see the light of day. Maybe but either some company has to buy Hudsonsoft from Konami or Konami really makes a 180 and not pachinko games.

Same things happened to me. Dang it. First game I want since odd world and I couldn't buy it.


Not only did the game diaper in less then 5 minutes there seemed to be other issues with people buying two copies and so on and so forth. Or as some on Twiter described it a cluster f*ck.


After 20 minutes of trying I went ahead and got breach & clear dead line. Figured maybe I could use it as trade bait for the shooter I wanted.
Title: Re: Limited Run Games
Post by: Flare65 on July 30, 2016, 05:26:56 AM
It was a cluster f*ck.

I was at the webpage the moment Soldner was available online.  The product description listed it at 75%-100% stock left when I added a copy to my cart.  I clicked on Paypal checkout and the next page said the game was out of stock.  I returned back to the product page where it said the stock was now less than 50% left.  Added the game to my cart again and the same thing happened with Paypal checkout.  I tried over and over to get a single copy of the game and couldn't get one, despite the product page saying there was still 25% left.  I kept getting the out of stock screen despite clicking on the normal checkout button or the Paypal checkout.  I tried about 15 times before the game was listed out of stock and you couldn't add it to the cart anymore.  :(

Fast forward to later in the day when the second batch came available.  Same EXACT thing happened.  I  could add it to the cart just fine, but clicking checkout said they were out of stock.  I tried this probably about 40-50 times before the game was sold out.  It even gave me the sold out screen when the product description page said there was still 10 copies left.

Really disappointing as I wanted a physical copy of the game.  I did everything right on my end.....was at the product page minutes before it was available both times, was able to add it to the cart, but still got told it was out of stock.

Really bugs me that those who were able to actually purchase a copy were able to buy two of them.

They posted on their forums that they are looking into it as what happened to me seemed to happen to a lot of other people.  Really disappointed.

I hear ya. And some that got it, probably don't even gaf about the game, they just see dollar signs.

In any case apparently there was a glitch in their system that let people buy shit before it went live. Supposedly it will be fixed by the time the next game goes up.

Lol @ "Im not a sealed game collector, i just don't have time to play all the games I buy."

Caring about the seal type? Really? Even if you are a sealed collector, you know how these games came sealed originally, so I really don't see how it's a problem. I'd rather get opened PS4 games so they make sure the disc is secure in the case.

That's odd. I wasn't sure what their tweet about a glitch in the system was referring to but now I get it.


So. Jn my opinin. Doesn't this mean they should just cancel all the orders who ordered more then two?  As well as do a do over and cancel anyone's order who bought it before the game went up for sale officially? 

Just my thought. However I am sure that won't happen.


Also yeah what you described about stock showing up as avilable and not being able to pay for it after putting it in your cart happened to me.

I also think the allowance to order 2 when there is a limited run of games is a bad idea.  If they were having problems selling through stock, I would get it, but every game sells out same day.  If they went back to 1 copy per person and in the event they didn't sell through their whole stock, I could understand, but I don't see this being an issue.

Yeah I think they should limit it to one per person for at least a day (preferably 2-3 days) and then if it hasn't sold out (unlikely) just make it a free for all.

It sucks that their order system f*cked up yet again (but it's never their fault, of course), and I don't get why they allow people to buy more than one; you'd think they'd get their shit together, but it seems unlikely to ever happen when nothing's changed after 9 months and 14 games.  I honestly don't think they give a f*ck - all they care about is being able to recoup their money quickly and brag to potential clients that they sold 3200 copies in minutes.

It sucks that their order system f*cked up yet again (but it's never their fault, of course), and I don't get why they allow people to buy more than one; you'd think they'd get their shit together, but it seems unlikely to ever happen when nothing's changed after 9 months and 14 games.  I honestly don't think they give a f*ck - all they care about is being able to recoup their money quickly and brag to potential clients that they sold 3200 copies in minutes.

Did you see their garbage recent post about it on Neogaf? Hell I'll just post it here for everyone anyway.

Quote from: LRG
"OK, there are clearly some misunderstandings here. The huge chunk of inventory that disappeared before the add to cart button went live was not a glitch nor anyone buying the games early. It was me adjusting the supply down for the first batch! I usually do this at 8AM prior to a sale but I went Pokemon GO hunting and ended up doing it later (around 9:50, I believe).

Only two orders came in before 10AM. They were from the same guy and both were for the Franchise Bundle. They were swiftly canceled and the guy was then banned. We couldn't list the bundle until the inventory was freed up through the cancelation and the guy banned (because he would have come back).

The simple fact is that 12,000 unique customers showed up on Friday - up from about 6,000 on July 4th. 12,000! We did not expect this. Söldner-X 2 went in to manufacturing back in June when Octodad took nearly 3 days to sell out (and about 15 hours to sell 3K copies on Vita at two per customer). There was nothing that suggested the game would be this popular. Many have said "It was a SHMUP, you should have known!" - I can't just wildly assume we should print 5K of every SHMUP in the same way I can't assume 5K for every RPG would be right.

We have to make sure our releases sell out quickly because the money is immediately invested back into the next game. I'm literally wiring the money from Friday to Sony tomorrow morning for our September releases. If games start piling up and don't sell, we're finished - plain and simple. We can't just recklessly increase runs or overprint games. Clearly what happened with Söldner-X was specific to it because Deadline still lasted two days.

We're definitely reevaluating certain print runs right now but know we can't fix the sizes of runs already in production (notably, Rainbow Moon).

Finally, RE: Shopify. It's not the cheapest solution, it's the best. No other eCommerce solution serves what we are doing better. In fact, the other solutions we tried prior to choosing Shopify were trash with absolutely terrible inventory management. MONDO has been doing limited run merch way longer than we have - I'd consider them the leader in this sector. They use Shopify too. Most stores use it (vBlank, Indiebox, Fangamer - they all use it). It has a lot of quirks and issues, but nothing beats it. We are going to be doing a lot of work on the site in the coming weeks and will likely invest money im hiring a professional to do that work. I doubt we can improve the checkout situation much, but we can certainly close loopholes and tighten things up.

Thank you to everyone who is sticking with us through these growing pains. Sorry to anyone who missed out! Know that there was no funny business here - the cart loophole was not widely known. Söldner-X 2 sold out legitimately, lightning fast. "

Comparing Soldner to Octodad. LOL.

They might have want to take a poll when they feel a game might have large demand.


Granted it's hard to know what wil be in higher demand at times. Personally I never heard of the game as I don't mess with digital on stuff all to offen. However Soldner and Odd world seem like the only two games released to date that were a step above shovel ware.


Or maybe it is because these are the two I found interest and I am just bias.

If they are so worried about having the money and not over producing games why not just switch it over to a pre-order only system.  Then just produce as many as are ordered and paid for.  Oh wait but then they wouldn't be as zomg limited run rare and the collectors/flippers wouldn't buy them.

A membership? 


Lame. If I am paying into a membership it would have to

1). Have a guarantee of availability for all products for at least one per member

2) provide an annual schedule and notification of what games are planed for the year (to allow a member determine if the games are worth the additional fee)

3) maybe offer some sort of member only discounts or something. Like an annual blow out sale for members or something for all remaining stock.

Here is the response they emailed me today:

We are sorry you ran into issues ordering from our store.

We have reviewed everything that happened and have to come to the conclusion that we just couldn't meet demand. The demand from our last run had literally doubled for this run. Due to the long production times we were unable to adjust the quantity of copies that were for sale on this run or for our next run in August. Sales will be limited to 1 per customer for Rainbow Moon. Going forward we will try to print enough copies to meet demand for 2 per customer. Unfortunately for Soldner-X 2 we will not being doing a reprint as it is against our policy and contract with the developer.

Thank you for your support and sorry for any inconvenience.



In other words, you're outta luck chump.

Their response doesn't make sense.  I'm sure they did have greater demand for Soldner than they had for Octodad, but what the f*ck does that have to do with people seeing it's available and adding it to their cart only to find it's sold out when they try to check out, then when they went back to the item page it was still "in stock".  They can argue all they want that the storefront is great, but it obviously is a broken piece of shit.

Again, they don't care.  The only thing that matters is "3200 copies sold in minutes!!!"

Just nabbed Rainbow Moon for Vita, & Shadow Complex even though I don't have a PS4.  I wish there was a Vita version, but I'll have to wait to play it.  I tried to get the bundle with the soundtrack, but every time I went to cart with it, it said sold out, so got the game by itself.  Maybe I'll let a buddy of mine borrow it, since he's low on funds, & there was no way he would've been able to pick it up himself.

Well, the dev decides on the number of copies to be produced.  If they decided they wanted 10K copies then that would be much easier to deal with vs like the 3000 or so they've been doing recently.

I wish Limited Run Games would just do pre orders.  The open up pre orders for a week for an upcoming title.  They collect the cash, and then pay Sony to print as many games as needed.  Win-win for everyone.  They have the clout to do it.

I'm usually working when they release games (morning and afternoon) and anything Vita sells out in about 15 minutes or less.

I know. Granted I am being selective in what I pick up. I don't want something just because it's "limited". Granted most of their games I have never heard of.

So far I have odd world, shadow complex, and have interest in the upcoming Mystery Chronicals.


Eventually I wil get the soldner x2. Granted I sent back that Saturday morning RPG like three months ago. Still waiting on them to send back a copy as well as "extras" as they claimed. Have sent a reminder email and tweet message about it. Haven't had much in the way of response or a tracking number.

A lot of the games they release are hit or miss for me.  Some of them just look like shovelware.  Maybe I'm over generalizing since I have not played them, but OctoDad and some of the other releases just just don't appeal to me.  Shooters like Soldner X2 do appeal to me.

Post by: Medic_wheat on August 24, 2016, 03:36:22 AM
I suspect everyone here has a wish list of digital only games made available since the Xbox Live/PSN/Wii e shop came into existence.

Granted some games possibly can never be resurrected due to lose of licensing rights or the developer having gone out of business.


Example of that for me is the remade Turles Reshelled.

I have it on my PS3 and honestly enjoyed it for what it was. Lead me to buy the SNES and Genesis ports after plowing through Reshelled. But the developer I believe is out of business and the only way for people to play this game is if they had bought it the same year it was available. As I believe it was no longer available to buy after the first year released.


To me that would be closer to "preserving video games on physical media" as LRG's has been touted doing. However like I said it's not about to happen for many games due to when the game was released, developers no longer existing, and lisence expering.


Another example would be Marvel vs Capcom 2 HD. That's not available for licensing reasons as well.
Title: Re: Limited Run Games
Post by: Gypsy on August 25, 2016, 01:15:22 AM
My comment was due to their own previous reasoning for not doing presales. Like anyone else I've liked some games they have put out and not others.

Fwiw they recently did acquire a Japanese developed game, but I am assuming that they are not doing the translation work.

Nice video. I watched it this morning. I tried to buy Soldner X but it sold out too quickly. That is also nuts to learn that if a game didn't seel out in hours people would start messaging about refunding the purchase. I like that they are making physical releases of digital games. I understand the limited nature in that they are a small comapny and can only extend themselves so far. I just wish they didn't sell out in hours and had a bigger run. I mean they could limit it for sale this month only or week. It is just frustrating when you stalk a webpage for weeks and then when it happens miss out by one hour. I think they are a little too limited considering all the talk about the importance of physical releases you think they would release more. I do like that they are looking at expanding this. Also the developers can do another run if they wish no one is stopping them.

That is an interesting point. The developers could take the success or possible failure of their game selling as a que to release their game themselves.


I'd like to see some of the Indy games get bundled. I have a feeling some of hear smaller games could be grouped. More bang for your printing/releasing buck.

Like top three from developer blank


Or a Tim Shafer HD collection.  Something.

So they have their first PC game as well up. Or it's been up. I think pre-orders end on the 26th.

I don't know much about the game and am still digging up information to have a more informed opinion. However I pulled the trigger based more on it being in tone to Snatcher then anything else.

It runs like ASS on PSTV fwiw (I played a bit of it via the hack). I have not played it on a regular ole Vita to compare though. Regardless I'll be in for Strangers Wrath and I hope it will be compatible.

Alright. Is this the start of them just offering a pre-order for those interested in the game?  Here is hoping so.  Also another game I am interested in.

I like the normal pre-order route, but it's hard to get excited about a vs. fighter.... even if it is rather cute and funny.  Any of ya play it?  I'd be more inclined to buy it if it's easy to pick up and play, not requiring tons of practice and memorization of combos, reversals, etc. (because I am le dumb).



So the Shantae pairs are #24 and #25 (available this Friday) and Volume is #28 (available the following Friday), but what happened to #26 and #27?

You'd probably hate skullgirls man. just being honest.
It definitely took the modern 2D fighter route, rather than an arcade style experience.
IE - there's a lot of technical stuff to do and learn, but until you do, it's probably gonna feel clunky.

as to #26 and #27 -
you already missed out. sorry.

Yeah I was able to get my order of each game. Thought about getting a soundtrack. But let's be honest. I'll never listen to them. And I don't have a YouTube show to feature the music in. Sooo.


I was tempted to buy two of each game. However, that would only have been if there were still copies of the game available after the second batch went up. Yes they had the option to buy two per customer. I felt it best to allow fans to get at lest one copy first.

Granted Ricky's revenge is also available on the 3DS now as a physical copy and even the silver box just got announced for the PS4 in physical form. Lol.

I think you mean Pirate's Curse.  Risky's Revenge was, until LRG brought it out, only ever available digitally.  Hence the big draw for many people on that one.  Also the Kaufman soundtracks were a no brainer to me, that guy is amazing.

What element said pirates curse had a physical release but risky revenge was digital only.I played,pirates curse back in 2015 on the wii-u and i really enjoyed the game.So buying a physical copy for PS4 was a no-brainer for me plus i don't have a 3DS.

I got one of each. No PS4 still, but no sense in not buying these now and lining the pockets of a tard later.

Allowing people to buy two copies is a big part of why they sell out so quickly.  I too have been tempted to buy two copies, flipping one for enough to make my copy 'free', but I just can't do it.

I did nab the 2 Shantae's even though I still lack a PS4, but I skipped on Skullgirls.  I'll never play it.  I like fighting games, but, very few ever stand out to me, so I'm not a huge fan of them.

Local multiplayer is definitely a dying aspect, outside of Nintendo. It was actually a chore to find racing games for PS3 with local multiplayer and AI (Gran Turismo 5 for instance has local multi without AI).

Amen. It's completely asinine that to play some games with a friend I would need two consoles, two copies of the game and an internet connection. For this reason my Dreamcast, Saturn, Gamecube and Wii see the most use when playing with friends. Also have had some good times on PS2 with stuff like Champions of Norrath.

I was able to get both games. Mind you I hovered around like a hawk before the sale went live and was loaded in. If that made any doffernace.


Interestingly enough I noticed when I went to check out I was told I was "waiting in line" to complete the checkout process.

I saw they had a three pack bundle for the odd world. It seemed interesting only for the blue variant cover which I liked more then the other two. But not enough to buy three copies of the same game. So I'll probably just custom print the cover I liked and slide it over the one I get.

I find it funny that LRG claims this isn't the case (people buying up games before the sale goes live).

I also find it frustrating when they will not answer questions regarding number of stock or if certain Vita released games are ps tv comparable.

I feel you may be correct in that assumption.


I really wish they would come out and say when their vita games will or will not be ps tv compatible. As for me it could affect my desision to purchase their vita games. As more often then not they offer their vita games for the PS4 and I'd like to know which version will meet my needs.

Post by: Medic_wheat on December 30, 2016, 02:47:21 AM
Well my purchasing for 2016 of limited run games has come to a close. Wasn't interested in the lone surviver game that was released today so I passed.


I am just waiting on my fire watch and oddworld straingers wrath HD. I guess it will be in over the weekend or following week. Oh and that skull girls and silver case pre order I did. Kind of regrets the silver case pre order as a different company ended up doing a limited PS4 release after the fact which I ordered. I am not a PC gamer so I will end up re-selling or trading the PC copy off).

Here is to next year and what releases they have planed or in the works. Personally I am hoping for a Scott pilgrim directors releases with all DLC (I have the game but not the DLC), he third season of the walking dead from tale tell on vita (I threw out the question on their twitter and they responded with a "we know some employee at tale tell we might be able to work something out". Which would be cool seeing how I have the first two seasons on vita).

I'd also love to see mega man 9&10 get a physical release as well as the double dragon Neo, and some of those arcade collections that are on the PSN.


Apart from limited run I have also picked up the following games which I believe are limited release physically for 2016:

Wild Guns reloaded (just came in. I need to just break down and buy a PS4 already)

Rez HD (PS4)

Super Russian Roulette (NES) kickstarter backer very much looking foreword to it early next year.

Shovel knight vita (loving it) excited for the extra DLC

System Shock (PS4) kick starter probably won't be released next year but was a 2016 thing for me.

Bloodstained (PS4) kick starter I doubt it will be a limited release. I'll get a backer variant cover art (yeah me)

Pier Solar HD (Dreamcast) don't really know how the watermelon games work. I doubt it is limited physical release but I finally got my copy this year. Have yet to play it as my Dreamcast isn't set up for play yet. 2017 bucket list.

Kraut Buster (MVS). Can't believe I actually pulled the trigger in a. NG Dev game. Still wish they released Dreamcast ports. However with the release of the NEOSD (have to save my ronnies for it) I may not buy any more MVS games period. Hell might just get the AES flash cart so I can finally get some use out of my AES lol. What's next?  A HDMI mod for the AES/CMVS? 

That's about it for games in 2016 I picked up which are limited physical release. Apart from other limited run games I have already mentioned I picked up in this thread throughout 2016.

What about everyone else?  How has 2016 been for you in picking up physical copies of games that are released in short supply or limited quantities.

People were limited to one copy. I didn't want it, so I bought one for a friend that had trouble in the morning. I'm definitely looking forward to Aqua Kitty though (PSTV compatible even) because how could I resist a shooter with kitties?  :lol:

Oh that's odd I thought it was a two per customer thing. The aqua kitty seemed interesting due to the ps tv part. However defender just isn't a game I fee I need another clone of at the moment. I mean I think I have six different flavors of defender already.

I had been buying most of these games, since they are bargain priced at $25 and I like the idea of physically keeping games available that were previously DLC only.

Then I realized they released 5000 games and I actually spent $1000000 on their budget games last year...  this was the first batch I skipped, will only be buying the ones I really want from now on.  Seems like they all sell out anyway, so the company hardly needs my support.

Indeed.  A lot of the games are pretty meh, so it's crazy trying to keep up with 'em.  Their release schedule makes it even worse, making it so you have to pay shipping and handling (pay $5 for $2 worth of stamps) one week just to turn around and do it again a week later; can't they combine that shit?

Here here. That shipping charge always bothered me as well. It was $2.60 for 1-2 games, now it's $2.77. Just be honest about shipping...

They offered combine shipping starting with this last batch of games, but lulz ensued: https://twitter.com/LimitedRunGames/status/825010006605053953

Time they have released a few other games with similar if not identical game play to swapper. Volume comes to mind. So I didn't feel the urge to buy it. Curses looked different and more fun. Very arcade like with the whole score aspect and single screen game play.

They haven't even shipped my Aqua Kitteh yet, such variance.

An update from the page linked above:

Quote from: Limited Run Games
Thank you for being a loyal Limited Run Games fan. You're likely here because you've gotten a loyalty ticket with one of your orders. We are hard at work on creating an order form for you to redeem your tickets. The order form should be available by February 17th, 2017.

With loyalty tickets, you will be able to get your hands on exclusive merchandise like key chains, t-shirts, hoodies, stickers, and variant cover games.

Please note that loyalty tickets are non-transferable and have no monetary value. We reserve the right to cancel the loyalty ticket program at any time.
Title: Re: Limited Run Games
Post by: xelement5x on February 10, 2017, 08:13:42 AM

Title: Re: Limited Run Games
Post by: Necromancer on February 10, 2017, 08:33:17 AM
Since they say they're non-transferable, that must mean they keep track of the ticket numbers, so you wouldn't need to turn them over as proof.  They could still require it, though, knowing that many collectards would rather keep the ticket as part of a 'complete' copy, thus never redeeming them and costing LRG money.

I hadn't realized initially the game was a kickstarter game.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but there are still a lot of physical releases slated for the system between now and the end of the year, not counting anything Limited Run Games is putting out.  Lots of digital only games as well.

Back on topic....  I'm still on the fence about backing this.  It seems the only physical copy of the game will be on the PS4.  I still don't have either a PS4/Xbone and at this stage of the game, I'm leaning towards passing on those consoles and getting a Switch next year sometime when the hype dies down and Nintendo bundles it with some games.

Very curious to see if this game makes the Vita stretch goal....
Title: Re: Limited Run Games

I don't have a PS4 either. However I have been picking up physical games I find interesting or fear would be to hard to find st a reasonable price later.

It seems every time I am about to get a PS4 life happens. Lol. What need a new roof?  Okay. What wife is pregnant with baby number two? Shift priorities. What we might move next year and need to sell the house and get things in order?  Got it. Lol.

I figured getting a system eventually is the easy part. Some of the game not so much. Good thing is a lot of definitive and GOY editions as well as HD re-releases are dirt cheap and will be even cheaper when ever I do get the system. So my library and gaming for (current) gen is easy.

As they claim. It's up to the developer to say is a pre order is to happen.

However, with how the pre Oder for the suds game and fighter went I don't think they want to bother with more pre-orders. The general public who pre Oder shit can't seem to show patience and instead become whiny when they feel cheated for not having the products they paid for in hand as a form of instant gratification.

Luckily we can always opt for the Asian release.


Also. Either versions has all the DLC included (Other posters claim it is due to licensing issues for what ever reason). Makes the physical release (either version) kind of lame if it isn't all inclusive.

I can't help but feel that because the majority of those who preordered are incapable of showing paticmace and demanding their game or a refund on twitter and such. They won't be very inclined to do more pre orders due to cisterns acting like two year olds.

With as much bullshit that seems to spew from developers for almost every work in progress, I hope Limited Run never does another pre-order again.  I'm a very patient person, but I hate being strung along indefinitely.

Did anyone here pick up Pang Adventures?  I'm kinda surprised it hasn't gotten more public love on the forums!  I admit I'm a bit rusty but really looking forward to it.  And Astebreed of course - that game looks incredible.

I thought about getting Pang.  I even noticed it was available hours later after the 2nd run on friday.  If it was on Vita, I would've gotten it.  I think part of my reasoning is to save space, as I have a severe space problem with collecting games.

Not to derail my own thread but

Anyone aware of other companies like "iam8bit" releasing physical copies of games (previously digital only) you'd recommend?

I just found out that Hyper light drifter is being released for the PS4 on iam8bit and can be pre-ordered now.

Which of course I pre-ordered. Seeing how I kickstarter it, it only made sense.

Honestly $60 is okay wth me. IF it had all the DLC included.

Well everyone is talking about it. Retweeting it and reporting on it.

Night Trap is getting a 25 year anniversary limits drun PS4 physical release.

Remastered video transfer from a VHS copy of the video

A special bonus documentary by the YouTube channel My Life in Gaming (apparently through happenstance of living five minutes away from the guy who is doing the PS4 port.

Mike Matale, Game Sack, Destructroid and a who's who and video game media/news/personalities are buzzing about it.

http://www.screamingvillains.com (http://www.screamingvillains.com/)

You can even download the night trap song for free of the official website. I can't on my phone other then play it off the web page.


I must say I am both surprised and interested. I thought my 32X copy would be the best however this new port has me ready to throw money at the screen.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any plans for a pre order to meet demand so what ever print run there is will be a blood bath. With this much media attention it will be hard to get a copy.

With that said this is still a pleasant announcement.

This is surprising to read.  Why all the excitement?  I really don't understand.  Night Trap is already PHYSICALLY AVAILABLE.  This stinks of nothing but a cash grab.

I thought the whole point of LRG's philosophy is to make physical games for those great but lower-budget titles that would not have ordinarily gotten a physical release.  Now, they are talking about a game that's been out for years, on 2 platforms no less, and on top of that everyone is thrilled?  I really don't understand!

I've been supporting LRG since the very beginning, but I don't know how much longer I or my wallet can continue if they are just going to rehash games that you can already find and play.  They should stick to new titles.

Title: Re: Limited Run Games

I assume that's it, just better quality video and a high-res HUD.  But that is a different game, more so than doing both PS4 and Vita versions of other games anyway.

I think they'll do just about anything if the devs are willing; there's enough collectards out there to buy up 2000 copies, even if the game is questionable.  I don't think this one is that bad of an idea, though, as there's a lot of nostalgia for such "classic" games and lots of peeps only do game on new hardware.  I won't be buying it, but it's a damned sight better than Breach and Clear or Esther.

I had heard that Limited Run Games was surprised by the reaction to Night Trap and will likely increase their order with Sony for the print run. The 32X version I guess is only for followers of their loyalty program or some such thing. Personally I always preferred the original artwork that looks like a 60's B movie. The redone stuff with Dana Plato on the cover always looked bad. It uses the worst picture of her possible and it's just not composed very well.

I agree, I'm hoping they do one based off the red cardboard box as well.  I said on another forum, they should even include the MA-13 stamp on the front since the VRC is no longer around.

The 32X version I guess is only for followers of their loyalty program or some such thing. Personally I always preferred the original artwork that looks like a 60's B movie. The redone stuff with Dana Plato on the cover always looked bad. It uses the worst picture of her possible and it's just not composed very well.

I agree, I'm hoping they do one based off the red cardboard box as well.  I said on another forum, they should even include the MA-13 stamp on the front since the VRC is no longer around.

They have shown two of the three cover variants planed to mirror the three sega cd covers. So a red cover variant is probabaly the third I shown version.

I really hope Limited Run games ups their order on Night Trap as the worst and most frustrating thing about Limited Run Games is trying to buy the game.

Also I'm a little off put buy selling cover variants. That seems like a scumbag move to sucker collectors and cause people to buy more than one copy. If your going to make a variant cover just make it reversible. These games are limited as it is. Now they split the inventory into three.

Here is the third option. They couldn't get the original as some Collector owns the original painting that was used to print from. I will pick this third option. I hope I can get to buy it before it sells out.

I found out the cover will be reversible so there is the reversible cover and the 32X version is exclusive to a private group of people.

Why?

I concur. I find it hard to believe that people buying the PS4 version don't already have the game on another platform.

Maybe I'm just jaded since I think Night Trap is a lame game, and if it weren't for its historical significance with the ESRB, it would have simply faded into obscurity. There were other games at the time, or earlier, that could have been the forefront of the ratings movement. This one just happened to make it into the limelight.

It is kind of a dick move, but I think it's even more ridiculous that some people need to collect every variant.  OK, if we're talking about Atari 2600 carts, there's some historical interest in label variations.  But for a new title, it's just stupid.  (I should put "new" in quotes.  How about "newly released")

NEC should have been thankful they weren't successuful in the us, they were more lax and had a lot of worse stuff, like an investigation game which has a rape case in all bold letters, a game where people are ejected into outer space with severed bloody limbs and bitchslapping for questioning a man, a game where you're a muslim from a town named "ASSASSI" who kills crusaders and smokes weed all day erryday... the list goes on. :lol:

E: the cover art variants suck aside from the one posted here, which is very charming but I wish they had access to the original painting. Having three variants (two of them butt ugly) is stupid and greedy, and the top left circle being cutoff by the orange frame triggers me immensely, so f*ck Limited Run Games.

E2: Poor Dana Plato, imagine being immortalized forever for being in a Digital Pictures FMV game instead of everything else she did on her short lived career.

For me Night Trap was the first game I bought for my Sega CD after playing the pack in games. I owned this game before the US senate freaked out about it and I found the whole debacle hilarious since the game is very tame.

Night Trap is pretty lame as a game and very campy as a B movie.
You beat the game by having a notepad next to you logging all the beeps and the time and location of each trap. After a few playthroughs you have a working log of where to go and when and that is kind of boring.

As for going back and playing the Sega CD while the first version is not the best in terms of video quality. The 32X CD version improved on both scale  and  colors. The 3DO version has the best video quality. The PC and Mac versions is about the 32X video quality. This new version will have the best video quality as the game was originally going to be on a VHS JVC console I think.

FMV games where new to console and while new was exciting the interest dropped very quickly and for good reason.

If you look at my Sega CD games I had you can see why the Sega CD was not a huge success.

Sonic CD was my favorite at the time.

Heh, the one John Madden I actually care about!  I beat the game, never cared about SNES/Genny/etc. JM's.  Actually, I like that it doesn't use real stats & such.  I feel like that's what makes every real sports game totally outdated a year later & worth a nickel.......at best!

Seriously though, ICFTD, that'd be cool.  If anything I'd like to see remastered from Sega CD/Turbo CD/PS1 is Snatcher along with Policenaughts, though only the latter got an official english release.

Special Reserve Games.


Ahem. STRAFF!

Do you remember this video and the hilarity?

https://youtu.be/ef_41JpwqdE

Well you should there was a thread dedicated to it here.

Well a competitior to Limited Run Games is taking pre-orders for physical PS4 and PC (bundle options as well) for it.

https://www.specialreservegames.com

Pros

Pre orders seem to be their MO (this is their second game, the first was PC only port of shadow warrior 2)

You can still pre order the game and their first release is also still available if you are interested (I am not I will get the PS4 copy eventually).

I heard of this company awhile back however Limited Run actually sent out a email today promoting these guys. So that was cool.

Cons

Limited run is cross promoting this new company. Why is this a con? Because Limited Run is releasing a variant cover of the PS4 release later in May.

Even with the pre order it looks like STRAFF is limited to 2,00 copies. Unclear if this is for Limited Runs  Ariana cover or the pre Oder as well.

There isn't.  All of these nubs who are acting apeshit about this release - if they even actually open the copy they buy - are going to find out it is not a great game.  I honestly never thought I'd see the day that FMV gets any kind of lovin' again.

Most buyers are generally 20 something hipsters who bought it for the ironic irony, ironically (which is usually all about liking something dumb and being too much of a pussy to say "I actually like this!", or, in this case, just bandwagoning).

I have fond memories of playing sewer shark and night trap at my cousins house  (my cousin being 6 years older then me and having this cooo sega cd thingy lol).

Night trap isn't a good game,but it does have a certain charm if you want to get laughs. I think what pisses me off most about it is you need to rush all the scenes/not see them to get the best ending/even get a decent ending.

Additionally, their kickstarter was a total shitshow. They could easily fix the problem above and it would play better (I use that term lightly since it is a fmv game).

If they are remaking Night Trap, it would be nice if they would offer some type of bonus feature that would allow you to watch all of the scenes without worrying about catching the monsters.  As someone already said, if you want to be good at the game, you have to miss most of the "good" scenes.  Although, I'm guessing that already exists on YouTube somewhere.

Yes I remember their post. I just double checked and I gunk they deleted the more whinny tweets.

I can't quit remember the content of their teeetes but it seemed more to me their issues where

-getting less copies to print because they are not making it for additional territories

-not being told of the other company doing a RU release and that they where first to go in agreement

-compromising that they get to release first so they can sell off their stock so they have an edge over their competitors.

When customers have complained to LRG for not making enough copies of specific titles they like to put the blame back on the developer by stating that the company holding the game rights can contract with other companies to get additional copies of the game made. I guess when that does happen (albeit rarely) they like to throw a hissy fit

I love that this forum isn't a damn LRG safe space like a few others are, as well as twitter typically is too with a bunch of random defendos that would rush to LRG's aid if they ate a human baby live on stream.

LRG has been completely off my radar. When I first heard of it, I though it was great that download games are getting physical releases... then I saw that it's just another element that caters to collectards.

I think they started out with good intentions, and they've published some really good titles like Shantae and the Oddworlds, I just think they are pushing it now.

Not sure about their intentions, but I know their attitude on twitter is just poor. I don't engage them there but I've seen a lot and it's not good. They all but tell people to eat shit because they will continue to sell things out. The worst part is so far, they are right.

Anyway yeah, they sometimes put out a game worth grabbing. The majority are below average games that are regularly $5 or less. I found it very fitting that Mutant Mudds was $1 on steam this week when LRG split the game in two and charged $50 for it. Of course Ys Origins goes on sale digitally and I'm tard enough to want it in physical form.......

This is taken from their website. Sounds kinda collectardy to me in a few ways.



Quote
We are Limited Run Games a publisher of limited run physical games for PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4. We focus on bringing games that were previously only available in a digital format to a physical medium. We're game collectors and players who fear the prophesied all-digital future. We hope that we're not crazy to think that there are other people like us that still want physical games.

At Limited Run Games our releases truly are limited. Once a game sells out, it will never be available from us again! We believe that as collectors and consumers you should be able to trust when we say our games are limited. They are!

All Limited Run Games are part of the Limited Run Collection with each release being numbered. All releases and their numbering can be easily identified by the Limited Run stamp on the back of the game's cover.

Our goal is to serve gamers and collectors by bringing physicality back to games. Please support us in this goal and try to collect the entire Limited Run Collection! Sign up for our newsletter and follow us on Twitter for the latest information on our releases.

The 2 Mutant Mudds games on PSN are indeed, 2 games.  There was a special deal where you could get both at the same time for cheaper, & that's what I did.  But generally speaking, at least on PSN(not sure about Steam), they're considered 2 seperate games.  I would've loved to bought both on 1 cart.  I ended up buying them both.  I really enjoyed the games, plus, I can always resell them down the road.

Looks like Super Challenge is normally separate on Steam as well, so my bad on that. And yeah if you wanted them that's cool. I've found that I often end up just buying the digital release in a lot of cases. Like Xeodrifter is $1 right now on Steam as well.

I too am waiting for that pre order.

Personally they can have as MUCH shovel ware BS they want. It drains the wallets of the colletards who need to own every game and variant cover.

That way I can pick and chose the titles I want. With the hope that others drain their wallets on all the crap.

The one thing I do like is if I get a game. And I should dislike it I can re-sell it for the initial price I paid at the lest.

Although every time I have ever seen a LR game for sale or trade they have always been sealed with the seller stating "I owned it digitally/double copy so I didn't need to open it" as a lame justification for why they never opened the game.

Some will even admit that they bought the game just to have a physical copy with no intent to open it because hey already had it digitally or can get it digitally later. People if you buy a game just to put it on your shelf with no intention of oepimg it up and playing it as a physical medium then why get the freaking game?  Yeah this last part is at Johny Millinium or Happy Gamer you've Chanel. I saw your recent picket video and how you bought a game just to put it in your shelf. I make this statement here as you clearly come to this forum often and follow everything I have ever posted. Lol.

I think a lot of 'em got started collecting before LRG, back when the entire US library was ~120 titles and most were easy to find and relatively cheap.  That's a pretty dumb primary reason to get a full set, I guess, and now with LRG (and others) it's got one heck of a lot more tedious and expensive.

I'm seeing the same thing happen with the Wii U.  Since the library is so small (around 150) people see an opportunity to get a full set without spending the kind of money that it takes to get something like a full NES set.  I've seen people get super excited to find out a Wii U game has been canceled because it's one less game they have to get.

Same goes for LRG.  I know some people only care about the full set.  While I doubt anyone would admit it openly, I guarantee you that there are a few people who secretly want LRG to fold and out out of business so that there will be no future releases, and they full set can become "official."   :roll:

Shadow WRrior 2 is getting a limited physical release for the PS4.

https://www.specialreservegames.com

Pre-orders went up today at $39.99 plus shipping/tax. Only 2,500 PS4 pressed. (Don't know if this is total or seperated for PS4 single pre orders, PC/PS4 bundle, and BIG WANG (50).

I was a fan of the PC 90s original and enjoyed the reboot games on the PS4 (which is at $14 used at GS).

Here is a chance to get the sequel.


BIG WANG edition is sold out. I missed the boat.

-Furi PS4


These interest me.

I preordered from SRG already, but fwiw, apparently LRG will be releasing Shadow Warrior 2 too only it will just be the sequel (SRG's release will have discs for both 1 and 2, similar to the first print of Bayonetta 2 on Wii U).

I'm still waiting for my copy of Strafe from SRG also.  It was supposed to start shipping this week but I haven't heard a peep from them.

Oh I didn't realize SRG will have both shadow warrior games on their physical release sweet.

Yeah they shot out a twitter and fb post stating how the shipping already started for the PS4 copies of Straif. Only there was a glitch in the email system and many of the orders shipped did not send email shipping/tracking info.   At least they made a statement. They should have sent a mass email personally as well.

Good to hear, thanks for the info!  It looks like SRG is here in Texas about 3 hours away from me, so maybe it will even show up this weekend.

I've really been having fun with procedurally generated games lately, like Ziggurat and a dinky game called Tower of Guns which I bought for maybe $12 on Amazon.  Damn if they aren't addictive in that quarter-munching kind of way.  Hopefully I'll be able to say the same about Strafe.

Kinda surprising, considering the hype that *was* around broken age at launch.
did anyone here actually play it? I'm just too lazy to grab download titles until they're super cheap.

I nabbed it though, as well as Deemo.
I know it's basically a phone game, but i'm a perpetual sucker for rhythm games and I had almost imported the damned thing a dozen times already.

Skipped both Vita games.  Thought it was odd I got an email from them the next day stating they were still avalible.

I appreciate they are supporting the Vita, but I'm just not paying $25.00 for shitty iOS games or games I can get on Steam for less than $2.00 (i.e. Mutant Mudds).  They need more games like Soldner X2 and Oddworld: Stranger's Wraith.

That's not the first time one of their games hasn't sold out immediately, but it did sell out over the weekend.  I think that's good though, since it allows anyone who really wanted it to get it.  There's a thread on the LRG forums asking "Is LRG hype dying?" and that seems to be the case.  Scalpers are not getting huge returns on their "investments" like they were a year ago.

They have (better imo) competition and all the stuff I've said before. However when they release Ys Origins and other good games that aren't $1 sale on steam/$2 ios/android games those will still quickly sell out I think.

So the hype is dying and whatnot, but only because they keep releasing the same indie noise.

I'm surprised it still says it's available, seeing as there was only 26% left just a couple minutes in.  Like gypsy said, though, the other game sold out quick as ever and lots of peeps already bought Darius for the PS4 or one of the Play Asia versions.

That said, this is how I'd love to see all of their games sell.  Everyone that really wants to play the game has a pretty good shot at getting one, and they don't all go to shelf queens and flippers.

Funny you mention it Necro - I finally got around to opening my Dariusburst last night and spent a few hours with it.  It's damn incredible.  Worth $50, or $60 or whatever?  That's debatable but in 20 years, you won't miss that 50 bucks but you'll always have a badass shewtie to play on your Vita.

I was put off by the high price and didn't initially buy it.  Ended up buying it off ebay like a sucker and only paid a tiny bit more than the initial asking price... and I don't regret the expense.  It's a blast.

And also kinda funny - one of the LRG founders is asking on their own forums why DB isn't selling out so fast.  It does put me off that they want all their titles to sell out in 10 minutes.

Yesssss, it's great. I would have waited if say, it was getting a wide US release (see: Akai Katana, Deathsmiles, really any wide release shmup in the last 10+ years in the US, they all get well under $10 before they go up). However I wasn't even sure it was going to get a physical release in the US when I bought it, and I didn't see the Japanese version dropping much in price so I pre-ordered it through PA and had no regrets. It's great.

Anyone get their Vita Dariusburst yet?  My tracking's been stuck at "ready for pickup" since 6/29.

And if (when) business drops off, they'll claim people just don't care about physical games any more.  Sure, buddy, I'm sure slow shipping, catering to collectards and flippers, shit customer service, etc. has nothing to do with it.

They keep saying the quality will improve and the amount of games coming out will decrease too. Probably due to all the competition that has sprouted up. People only have so much money for random indies on physical disc/cart after all. I get that they went nuts and took on, quite frankly, way too many contracts and have to get those games out. However it would be kind of sad if people got burned out while they had better games on tap. I don't think it's a huge risk, just something I was thinking about.

Also, I'm not digging the change to UPS mail innovations. I dislike waiting 8+ days to receive things though...... This is going off of PD's post. I haven't ordered anything from LRG in awhile.

Post by: crazydean on July 11, 2017, 03:19:22 AM
So if the shipping has already been paid by LRG, what do they have to benefit by not sending it out? Is the game not printed and packed yet?
Title: Re: Limited Run Games
Post by: Necromancer on July 11, 2017, 03:27:46 AM
Supposedly everything is packaged and ready to go, other than the trading cards they're waiting on from the printers and sealing the box/envelope.

Honestly, the wait wouldn't bother me so much if they'd been up front about it or at least bothered to explain the situation after the fact.  The only reason I know anything about it is forum chatter; there's no official announcement on LRG's website (front page, news section, the game's page, or in their forums), nor have they sent out explanation emails.

Anyone get their Vita Dariusburst yet?  My tracking's been stuck at "ready for pickup" since 6/29.

I see on twitter some bullshit about them holding orders for some trading card crap (instead of the usual postcard/sticker crap).  I assume that's the hold up, but it sure would've been nice if they'd bothered to tell their paying customers what's going on instead of fake "your item has shipped" e-mails.

i feel you on that. i ordered furi over 2 weeks ago and i haven't been notified anything just a shipping number without any updates. I know its only 2 guys who works at LRG but it would be nice if they can at least notify you of any shipping delays!

And it's just a pre-order.  They don't even have the games and won't ship for a month or more.

So much for "Pre-orders don't work!  We have to have 'em in hand before we sell!!!"

Post by: xelement5x on July 14, 2017, 04:36:28 AM
Yeah, I actually wanted Jotun too but wasn't worried about getting into work late since other stuff has been selling out slower recently.  Will try for the PM batch.

Yeah... I can see why this is frustrating from the consumer side.  Their perspective is probably: "without the artificial supply constraint there would be less demand if it wasn't truly "limited" and open-ended via pre-order."  I'm assuming that since they have done pre-orders in the past, they have the metrics to support that way if doing business.

I think the may have been trying to match the sale up with the timing of the fact that Jotun is free on Steam and GOG right now to make it sell out faster.  Who knows, a couple of weeks isn't that bad.  It's not like the Skullgirls LE or somthing that is now like 4 months late I think?
Title: Re: Limited Run Games
Post by: Necromancer on July 17, 2017, 04:34:40 AM
Dariusburst came in Saturday's mail.  Thanks to UPS Garbage Innovations, the trading card and sticker were all bent up (good thing I waited for 'em!) but the game itself is fine.

And thanks to Gypsy, my complaints have been summarily dismissed.  I'm just a troll, and everything negative is beyond LRG's control.

  1.  It's not their fault that they're selling Jotun now but won't ship for a month or more, so it's unfair/inaccurate to label it as a pre-order.*
  2.  It's not their fault that they changed to shittier and slower postal services to save a few bucks yet still charge the same amount for shipping.
  3.  It's not their fault they sold games knowing full well that they'd not ship any time soon but failed to mention it in the games' listings.
  4.  It's not their fault that they sent out misleading emails saying the games shipped when they actually hadn't.
  5.  It's not their fault that they couldn't be bothered to send out emails or post an official explanation on their website or forum regarding the delay.

Just shut up and send them money.  :lol:


* - Since when is pre-order a bad word?  If you don't want to pay and wait, don't buy; I'd not have complained about Darius had they been similarly up front about the situation.
Title: Re: Limited Run Games
Post by: Gypsy on July 17, 2017, 04:50:37 AM
I told them on twitter I'm not going to order from them until they switch off this garbage service. I'd even gladly pay $6 for priority shipping. I don't know why companies use mail innovations, but some big eBay sellers use it too. It must be MARGINALLY CHEAPER than first class if I had to guess. Gotta save 10 cents a package or something like that.

I see you read gaijinworks, lulz. I didn't use your username, definitely bitch at them directly. You didn't even mention the part where someone, without knowing you, called you a spoiled shithead. That was nice...

Quite frankly I think the blind defending is ridiculous. They are a business offering a product, and should be held to proper standards.

Edit: Oh and despite huge delays, they vehemently want to avoid using the term pre-order for some reason. Must be a marketing thing.

I don't understand why they aren't doing pre-orders and basing how many they order on that.  Leave pre-orders open for a week or two weeks, say ok we got 1537 pre-orders lets order 2000 copies.

It seems to me like they would make more money that way too, but these guys really do have a hard on for OMG IT SOLD OUT IN SECONDS!!!!! it seems.

I had no problem pre-ordering the PS4 physical release of Hyper Light Drifter from Iam8Bit, but seemingly something like that is too difficult for LRG and will put them out of business.

It has nothing to do with difficulty.  Their business model is to inflate demand by capping supply. They think (and they are probably correct) people will buy less if they think there is an open ended supply (like a pre-order).  Even if there is only a small window for pre-order, it could reduce the demand.  They are preying on the collectards and it's working.

jk of course.  LRG is headed down an ugly path with their trading cards, online-only game (Lawbreakers) and heavy release schedule.  I'm getting a bit burned out on LRG but really wanted Wonder Boy.  I would have bought it from any publisher.  Just bought 1 regular copy today with no problems.  I'll certainly have the Master System side of the reversible cover displayed, because duh.

For me NT was more a novelty. I can always play my 32X copy. I was just interested to see how the better video looked with the retooled menus.

Guess I'll just download it. Don't feel like paying $150 and up.

I haven't looked up eBay prices on a LRG day one of release but wooowww.

The whole argument of resellers in ebay don't determine price really goes out the window with sellout limited release stuff.

Someone get a confirmation order. Throws it up in eBay day one and pulls a price out their butt and waits to see if other follow suit and if suckers start buying.

From what I can gather, NT was changed to 1 copy per customer while the morning sale was live.  I could be wrong though.

Empty promises.  They've been claiming shit will get better for months, but the reality is that they don't have a single f*ck to give.

As long as everything (including stupidly overpriced LE garbage) sells out in minutes, they're getting what they want and have no incentive to change.  They don't care about you.

The only way to stop LRG from doing stupid shit like not limiting certain numbers of orders per customers, or their inane philosophy of refusing to do pre orders and make it as hard as can be to grab any of their releases, is to just stop buying from them. I think some people buy their shit based solely on the fact that they know it'll be hard to find later. And obviously that's their whole point of existence, but why are we so drawn to this shitty practice?

Though, of course I have purchased DariusBurst in the past, and if they ever announced Windjammers you better believe I'd be as conflicted as ever (though I'd probably wind up buying it anyway). They just plain suck, and Necro is right, they absolutely don't care about you.

I sat in on a panel with Dough from LRG on Sunday.  They are working on ways better estimate demand and possibly increase runs while still keeping the total number "limited."

Also, ESRB ratings are coming to all games soon.  It's a little ironic that Night Trap will be one of the last LRG offerings to be released without an ESRB logo.

I don't need a company to care about me.  It's getting harder and harder to defend LRG, but asking a company to care about you is going a bit too far!

What I find uber-shitty is the stunt they pulled with the Wonder Boy and Lawbreakers release.  When they were opened up for sale, WB obviously sold like hotcakes (as we all know, hotcakes are the best selling item ever invented, duh) and Lawbreakers wasn't.

So LRG pulled many (single) copies of WB and bundled it with Lawbreakers (an online-only FPS that nobody really wanted) while the sale was active.  Their excuse is that their "close fans" were not going to be able to buy Wonder Boy, so they made the decision to bundle it during the morning sale.  Let's not forget that this "bendover bundle" was never previously announced, which means their plan all along was to pull this trick if Lawbreakers wasn't selling like they wanted.  Obviously, they had to have made the bundle picture and web page ready to go beforehand.

It should also be mentioned (if you don't follow LRG drama) that Lawbreakers was developed by Cliff B. and company who are all in the same town as (and "friends" with) the LRG team.  It was so unwanted by fans that LRG decided not to number it like their other PS4 games.  The result was that many people who simply wanted Wonder Boy had to opt for a bundle with another game, or not get it at all.

Major dick move.

I sat in on a panel with Dough from LRG on Sunday.  They are working on ways better estimate demand and possibly increase runs while still keeping the total number "limited."

I don't really believe that.  They've already gauged demand exactly how they want it: just enough to sell out in minutes, adjusting between allowing people to buy single and multiple copies if it's not selling quite quickly enough.

The only adjustments we'll likely see will be smaller print runs for less popular titles, as the poor games that dared to still be available on Saturday were 'failures' to their hype train.

Pre-orders. Problem solved. Also you can't keep a game "limited" if there is a lot of demand! I could explain further how their business could be so much more successful but it isn't even worth it.

I like the idea of giving digital only releases a physical release for those that want it. This should be more about the developers and how they could be benefitting more. They should really consider releasing it themselves if Limited Run Games reaches a maximum of preorders that could just trigger it. I like it when the developers go on and release it later.

I think there is room for a company to get this right and not be forcing the limited inventory on the business.

There are other companies doing this. Some of them even do pre-orders. They just don't have the same online hype presence as LRG.

https://www.specialreservegames.com/about-us
https://signatureeditiongames.com/

Also if you are looking mostly for indies, Soedesco and Rising Star Games have been releasing some and they take more of a retail approach and get stuff on Amazon. Just search for Soedesco on Amazon. The games qualify for the prime discount too so ones priced at $20 if you pre-order them will only be $16 shipped. They have some at  $30 ($24 shipped with prime) as well. A few pre-orders up right now from them.

They don't do pre-orders because nobody wants to wait for games.

Instead they sell you games they don't have yet and ship them a few weeks later.  It's different...... somehow.

First of all, please explain how I'm "throwing my weight around".  Do you even understand what the term means?  In no way, shape, or form have I used my scary mod powers to threaten you with a ban, edit your posts, etc.

Second, you're really only contradicting yourself.  It makes no sense to argue that it's wrong to expect them to do right by their customer base when you're concurrently making much of the exact same complaints - too many releases too close together, pushing for immediate sellouts, forced bundling of unwanted games, etc.  They don't care about you (nor should they), so you should be happy they're taking care of themselves in whatever way they see fit, right?

The only way it'd be frowned upon is if it was being said all the time, in response to nothing in particular, and not part of an actual discussion with other comments.  At that point, it'd just be trolling.

Necro, the idea that LRG doesn't care about you, me or any customer is your opinion.  I know you think you are right about everything, but don't confuse your opinion with facts.

Obviously it's just an opinion, albeit one based on their actions.  Do you have a point?

And back to the point at hand: if you think LRG, or Play-Asia, or Aetherbyte, or Microsoft or Amazon or ANY other company gives a shit about you, then you are the fool Necro.

Lots of companies work hard to earn customer loyalty: MS extended 360 warranties out the wazoo (way more than Sony's done for their shoddy hardware), dropped DRM plans on the One, and killed Kinect to drop prices; Amazon gives easy returns, special customer sales, continually invests in better/faster distribution channels, and makes custom products that make it easier to buy from them; Arky keeps us in the loop and gives us dibs on new products; et cetera, et cetera.  They're not 100% altruistic, of course, but there's no question that most companies want to keep current customers while earning new.

LRG, on the other hand, doesn't seem to give a shit.  They're content with their current print run sizes, knowing full well that there's enough flippers and shelf queens to buy up everything even if everyone else stops being customers.

LOL. They wouldn't go out of business due to one failure. Absolute bollocks.

We should be loooong past the point of needing every game to sell out.

I also didn't agree with him giving 'em kudos for limiting scalpers.  They try to stop some multiple purchases, but at the same time they allow the purchase of 2 or more copies of many games and they know their store front system is broken and easily gamed.

HCG said they will be on terrible shape if stock sits.  When pressing a game, doesn't the price per unit decrease as the order increases?  Or is that only for DIY crusty punks putting out albums on CD and not applicable for games where royalties are considered?

Also, even if there was no preorder, would a poll for interest help to determine the number of games to order?  Sure not all people will order if they say they will on a poll, but it should be a good indicator if the game is a 12,000 or 3,000 run type of release.

We've heard your feedback after Wonder Boy and Night Trap and for the first time since our Skullgirls run in 2015 - Ys Origin will be sold as a preorder and be manufactured to demand. The Collector's Edition will be limited to just 3,000 copies per platform, but the standard edition will be open to order for a full 24-hour window. After 24 hours pass, orders will close.

Sounds great to me; I hope it's a rousing success so that they decide to do it for more games in the future.

P.S. - The other game (Asdivine Hearts) is a normal release with 3800 copies per system.

Have they said how long they will keep the preorders opened?  It would be nice if they left them up for a week, long enough for people to get their game, but short enough to not delay the production and delivery process too badly.

And yet I have seen people in fb LRG fan page complain it should be an hour because then to many people can order making this limited run game feel less limited.

Or more likely less scalable

Post by: MisterCrash on August 23, 2017, 01:03:12 PM
I have not bought any LRG games before, and I echo a lot of the sentiments in this thread. I would much prefer a system where the demand is measured before the supply is created. For games that have already been released digitally, I would think that this would be fairly easy to do. If you want to keep things "limited" to satisfy the collectors, then make a limited version with bonus goodies or a special cover or some such thing. Limiting supply artificially (like LRG and Nintendo's hardware strategy) is maddening to me. Being able to sell these things in package deals that nobody wants is a good indicator that the price is too low given the demand. Then again, if they own the rights, they can sell it however they want.

I've already ordered Ys Origin and The Dragon's Trap from Play Asia, because I didn't want to deal with this nonsense. It seems that Asia has a better handle on how to manage this.

Oooook. Well  one would think okay mom and pop shops can stock up a little for sale at their stores. Cool cool. However in a world where someone pre ordered 61 SNES Classics to scalp I just don't think it's the smaller retro stores or even franchise store which will really take advantage of the Y's release.

I kept hearing the same about bots and what not. Since I know nothing about that sort of thing I don't know.

I did hear that's why the original Amazon page for the SNES classic was not used and a new one made when it launched. Which of course threw me off and I was left unaware until after it was sold out.

Funny you mention that...LGR is NOW selling unlimited pre-orders to brink'n mortar. There is absolutely no discount and by agreeing to sell their games, you cannot mark it up beyond $10(granted, for new...nothing is to say you can't sell them then have them traded in as used...but that might just be a loop hole).

How do I know? well Lost Ark in NC is one of the first stores to be a reseller. I'm told, LGR is limiting it to 1-2 stores per state.

Yeah even this pre order business is still pretty shitty, it's just way better than what they had been doing, so it by default looks way better. But 24 hours to pre order a game? It's like they're trying to remain all semblance.

Once again, though, Ys Origin is available on Play Asia and I'm pretty sure (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) the Vita and PS4 versions are both English. Might as well just do that honestly.

I don't mind the 24 hour time period.  It's plenty of time to get in an order, and there's plenty of press surrounding the game that you know it's coming.
Title: Re: Limited Run Games
Post by: TDIRunner on August 24, 2017, 07:19:47 AM
There is literally nothing they can do that will make everyone happy. 24 hours is more than enough time to get a pre-order in.  The only argument I can see for a longer window would be for people who don't know about it until it's too late.  But I have trouble believing that anyone who is truly interested in this game doesn't already know about the LRG release.

I guess what I meant was that doing a 24 hour pre order period seems like the bare minimum (or maximum I guess) they could do in this situation so that they could still keep their "Limited" approach to everything.

The way I see it, they can keep their "limited" approach by keeping the CE limited (which they are).  Make as many RE as needed and keep the CE limited.  I can't imagine HOW people could complain about that, despite the fact that I know the WILL.

By the way, peeps could get multiples (2 per system and 4 total) by buying both the standalone CE and the bundle with Asdivine.

It won't take many pre-orders for Ys Origin to surpass every other release.  With just the CEs and PAX copies, they're at 7500 total.

My friend shared this with me, not sure of the source but it seems legit.

Ys PS4 standard : ~4,289 + 10 = ~4,299
Ys Vita standard : ~3,462 + 10 = ~3,472
Total so far : ~7,771
Total including CE : ~13,771

Odds are they never do a preorder again, I don't think they like these numbers.  I assume if they did a 5,000 run of standard edition on each system, it sells out in 30 minutes or less in each wave.

The irony of the whole situation is by not making the game limited, it appears to have become more limited?

Also, I would say this shows LRG set collecting is largely a thing of the past.  Most people seem to have moved on.

If clash's numbers are accurate, that makes Ys Origin the largest print run by a sizable margin (~38%) over the largest normal 'limited' release.  If the PS4 numbers don't include the PAX variant (1500 copies), make that ~53% larger.

If that's a failure......

Stolen from another forum talking about the LRG Y apostrophe S madness:

From Twitter:
Quote
6,575 Vita, 8,400 PS4. This was a success on PS4 but not so much on Vita.

We already have 6,500 Vita copies en route and we have to reorder for those extra 75 - the minimum reorder quantity is MUCH higher than that

So until we sell the smattering of extra units that have to be ordered above that 75, it wasn't the best route for Vita.

Worth a try, for sure, and we'll certainly consider doing it again.

Ultimately, the decision to go this route in the future will be up to our partners. We'll push for it in some cases.

As I mentioned there, 6500 copies for Vita and 3000 of that are the LE, makes me feel real dumb for getting a limited edition which is like almost 50% off the produced copies.
Title: Re: Limited Run Games
Post by: Necromancer on August 29, 2017, 05:24:28 AM
I don't get why they're making an issue over the extra 75 that they have to reorder.  It wouldn't be a problem if it were planned as a true pre-order from day one, where nothing was ordered before last Friday, so why not be happy that it sold 18% more copies than any previous Vita game, despite the competition from another english language release (which also had a nicer LE package)?  Even in this unique instance, the unsold product isn't as bad as 1000 (or whatever the minimum order number is) minus the 75 extra sales, as they haven't accounted for the percentage they keep from each sale to cover manufacturing defects and lost orders; they normally hold back 10%, so they actually need 733 more copies and not a mere 75.  In any case, I've little doubt that they'll be able to peddle the extra copies before year's end.

As I mentioned there, 6500 copies for Vita and 3000 of that are the LE, makes me feel real dumb for getting a limited edition which is like almost 50% off the produced copies.

45.6% LE isn't that much higher than unusual.  It was 39.6% for Lili, 37.5% for Night Trap, 33.3% LE for Lawbreakers, 37.5% for Wonderboy, and 41.7% for Dariusburst (PS4).

I hate to be the barer of bad news but if you're on the stock OS, Ys Origin does not work on the PSTV.  If you have yours with the hacked OS, then you can force the whitelist to add it and it'll work.



Also those numbers seem pretty fantastic for both platforms overall.  I'm not surprised they're trying to spin it into a negative though.

For both PS4 and Vita and in normal and LE versions.  Seriously, why in the f*ck does Windjammers need an LE?

Yes for PS4 and Vita. No announcement of any LE at all.

I doubt the Vita one will support local multiplayer, too. But it would be sweet.

My bad, totally missed that. I still sometimes get confused with how to read Twitter sometimes. I'm also not sure what would be involved in a Windjammers LE, but despite my former anti-LRG sentiments, I'll probably be a total hypocrite with Windjammers shit. f*ck.

Yeah it's not great. Has tits, I think that's the main selling point. I beat it a bunch, but it's a shooter so that is to be expected.

I spaced early and it was sold out 3 minutes after. Did manage to get one in the second wave somehow but it sold out in like 2 minutes.

On the bright side it's like $5 on Xbox and Xbox games do look good enough with component cables on modern displays.

I got tied up during the morning release and missed out.  I went on their page to make sure the afternoon release would be at the normal time, but the site said they were sold out of both versions.  I looked around for any mention of the afternoon release but there was none.  So I didn't even try.  It's so incredibly frustrating.

They apparently have some kind of waiting list to buy copies that get freed up due to cancellations for breaking the order limit, returns etc... Not sure exactly how you go about it but contacting their CS through their site or on twitter is probably the first step.

I've never had a problem.  You literally have to be waiting a few minutes before the sale starts and keep refreshing until it's live.  I know this is a pain and most people are complaining on the principle  that there are no pre-orders, but life has rules and those who play by them win.

Im sure there's a few folks who have been doing what I describe and their internet hiccups or fails and they miss out, but I think they are the exception.

The problem I have with LRG is that I'll be there the moment the game goes live, add it to my cart, and then the game is listed as sold out during the checkout process.  Wash-rinse-repeat until the game is no longer available to add to the cart.

Happened on both the Am and PM sales.

I filed out the waiting list form to see if any copies come available, this opens a ticket on their end.  Yesterday I got an email stating that the ticket was closed with no explanation as to why.


If it wasn't for the East Asia Soft release of Soldner X2, I wouldn't have been able to get a copy of that one.

You gotta have your shipping details stored as part of your account and either store your credit card payment info with them or be logged in to paypal in advance (keep surfing around on paypal to keep the page active - they'll log you out if you idle for more than a couple minutes).  If you wait, odds are good it'll be sold out by the time you get it all sorted.

This is the part I don't understand.  I've gotten probably a dozen games from LRG and this has never happened to me (including some if the high demand stuff like dragons trap SE). There is no way that's just luck.  Too many samples to be just luck

That's exactly what happened to me, and it was with Dragon's Trap.  I was so pissed, because that was the one Limited Run game I wanted more than any other, and I had successfully bought a handful of games from them prior to that sale.  I was logged into my Limited Run account, and I was logged into Paypal, but it didn't matter.  I think part of it depends on when you get into the checkout queue.  You have literally a few seconds to do your order.  If you get into the queue in five seconds, you might be 2,000 slots ahead of the guy who got into the queue in seven seconds.

So Skull Girls is out. Finally. Both PS4 and Vita.

Got my copy and it looks greatly. The physical copy that is.


However I find it funny people in the LRG FB Fan page are still complaining  about it. Why?  Because they feel to many where printed. Which to me translates to “shit how do I flip for profit the game?”

From their recently updated "production updates" page:

Sky Force Anniversary:

PS4 and Vita copies have been received from Sony - shipping operations will begin shortly.

Waiting on additional trading cards for some orders.

It said they were still waiting on 'em from Sony as of last Friday, so it was another unannounced pre-order that they didn't have on hand and had no intention of shipping soon, but they couldn't be bothered to say so.  That's quality customer service.

I haven’t piped it open yet. As my Vita TV is at my brother in laws.

But I was told my LRG that the game works on the vita tv as well. Which is why I bought the vita copy. So I could use it on the go or tv.

Granted the game ended up being in sale digitally last year and I bought I for like $5 and have it downloaded tk my PS4 and Vita

I picked up Super Hydorah & Fallen Legion(Vita).  I just barely missed out on the regular edition of Super Hydorah, really just wanted the game, but, there were still some special editions left, so, I caved & grabbed one of those.  I originally was going to try to get all 3 games, till I realised only Fallen Legion was on Vita.  The other game looked like it might be interesting....but not enough for me to want to add it to my PS4 library. I only have so much space & $ anyways, so, oh well.

Just noticed I got my shipping notice for Sky Force & Croixleur Sigma!

Appreciate you checking out channel. I definitely do enjoy me some shmups. Just a lot of fun to play with plenty of action and kickass music to get you in the mood to shoot down some enemies!

Layer section is awesome, great visuals, i like how you have the lock on cursor which destroys enemies that are in the background but it sucks that there are no bombs

Death smiles is interesting since you play as lost children and it does have a Halloween theme to it but it is a unique shooter forsure

Ikaruga is a classic. Really like the moving background and the fact that you can change your ship color from white to black and can absord enemy bullet depending on what color the bullets are, very interesting feature.

I'm on the fence with these two.  They look like fun games, but they also look like something I can get for $4.99 on Steam.  Dunno if they are worth 30 each plush shipping.

I almost just went with just Mercenary Kings but then figured what the hell as I was putting it in my cart. You're right though, Mercenary Kings is $20 on Steam and Flinthook is $15 and I'm sure they'll go on sale at some point for even less. I kind of insist on physical releases though so as long as they're decent I figure they'll be worth having.

We're releasing Gunhouse through Limited Run with:
- two covers (one for each sku), each of which is reversible and references a different odd thing.
- 20 page manual. each features a different cover as well as different comics and illustrations inside.
- a 2" (I think) pin
- 8 trading cards
- a cassette ost from composer disasterpeace

I don't know if they're going to do a bundle for all the stuff, but it was pretty interesting putting it all together!!

[edit]: see the covers here!

Congrats Brandon, I never followed how you transitioned to producing videogames (when? how? sup?) since remembering you from when you used to plug my Xak III fan translation project and maybe others (Ys IV) at insertcredit.com, but yeah, good to hear success stories of passionate fans going pro. :)

I'll give ya a retweet too, owe ya some. ;)

Basically I started writing stories for games in 2005, then quit my job and started a small company in 2012. that's pretty much it!

I'm surprised Sony still allows publishing on such an old system.

I bought the KOF set last week.  I'm kind of a sucker for the shockbox alone so I blew the extra money.

This week is a Kemco RPG so huzzah.  I am hopefuly that my copy of Ribi Rabi finally shows up soon as well.
