Nice, played it a little on PS3, co-op. Was pretty fun/funny.

I might as well wait for this to inevitably end up on PS plus on PS4 before i play it again.

[Kingthrash360]

agreed
i beat it on vita, great game. ps+ free will be downloaded.

This game already ran perfectly on PS3. I know people are not supposed to criticize anything related to Sony on this site, but it is a waste of resources porting it to PS4. It will play and mostly look the same.

[KakashiHotake]

Its not always about graphics. A great game is a great game.

[Palitera]

Who's talking about graphics?

[GarrusVakarian]

Yeah, it did run and look good on PS3. But people who only have PS4's now and never played this on PS3 will also be able to play it. I can't see a game like this being a waste of resources, it wouldn't take much effort at all to put on PS4.

[Palitera]

1. We don't know how much effort at all.
2. Should any good game from last gen be ported to PS4, instead of these devs doing new, real next gen games?
3. I also feel like it is meant to be cannon fodder on PS+. 'Nothing good to put there? Let's give them another last gen game.'

So I say again: waste of resources. The industry is already stalled enough, we don't need the same games being released over and over again.

@Palitera

1. No, we don't have a clue how much effort at all. But the developers do, and they apparently don't think it's a waste of resources.

2. I guess that's up to the developers. I'd expect we'd be looking at a rough drought of game releases if all development stopped on anything that doesn't meet everyone's personal opinion of what constitutes "real next gen games."

3. Nice to hear you have feelings. Unfortunately, feelings do not inherently give birth to facts.

If you're not interested in something that doesn't automatically make it a waste of resources.

[cervantes99]

Um, maybe people who did not have a PS3 would want this.

[admiralvic]

While I agree with your point, I rather not see that become an excuse to release enhanced ports. I much rather see sequels / new games, than constantly porting the same crap.

[Blacklash93]

"... will expanding upon proceedings with new boss battles and levels. Atop of this, character will also be on the receiving end of new abilities that are as-of-now not disclosed."

[Nevers0ft]

It's a relatively small indie game (about 350000 lines of code), the port probably isn't spectacularly labour intensive. Not everybody has a PS3 so if the developer thinks the cost of porting to other platforms will be recouped I say "Go for it"... The game looks great and got decent reviews, I'm definitely grabbing it (for the Wii U).

[RadioActiveTwinky]

Damn it!!! I knew I should of waited instead of picking up a copy during the sale.

[aquamala]

title is wrong, PC already has this and it's called Gold Edition (and was part of the last humble bundle), this edition is only coming to XB1,PS4 and WiiU .

[Blacklash93]

I played this on Vita and it was utterly fantastic. The game design, level designs, and gameplay mechanics are excellent and tight across the entire experience.

It's the best Metroidvania game of its type in years, in my opinion. If you haven't played it, I completely recommend it. It won't shock or wow you in the first ten minutes, but the sense of progression and new, incresingly complex and demanding challenges is virtually unrivaled in any game I've played in a long time.

Seriously, try it.

[WeAreLegion]

Wonderful game. If you haven't played it yet, please do.

[DanManDantheMan]

Wii U is expected. Pretty much where the game belongs.

[Godchild1020]

The game belongs on every platform, not just one. I'm happy to see this game expanding to the Xbox One and Wii U.

[Nevers0ft]

You're going to get downvotes because of how you phrased it but I agree. When I saw the original videos of the PS3 version it looked like fit the Nintendo demographic more. That's not to say it doesn't "fit" elsewhere, it clearly does, it sold pretty damned well on PS3.

The more consoles the better if you ask me :)

[DanManDantheMan]

Yeah, could have been phrased better. Didn't mean to say it should only be on Nintendo platforms lol

[B_Rian89]

I was hoping Sony would buy this studio. They make great games. Oh well, now more people can enjoy them

[Moncole]

They should stay indie. Its horrible when companies buy indie devs and make all their games exclusive, everyone should be able to enjoy indie games.

[Moncole]

I hope the people who own it already get a free update.

[Iltapalanyymi]

>guacameme
No thanks.

[ziggurcat]

to xbox owners who have not played this game (even on PC):

get it. it's ****ing awesome.

[TheVideoGamHer]

I like to see indie companies expand. It's like they're saving us lol.

[Inception]

Already got this from PS+ and luv it. Hopefully X1 and WiiU users will luv it too :)
