Llamasoft does TxK for Sony Vita

[melkig1967]

I wish Nintendo would bosh you guys some money to make T3d for the 3ds that would be spectacular.
I suppose we can dream.

Not sure Sony would be too happy about that one................

I'm not sure what Sony could do if the guys decided to make T3d for Nintendo.
Sony dont own Llamasoft do they?

OK my resistance was futile; ordered a PS Vita yesterday, added in a case, 16gb mem cart, Hot Shots and will be here Tuesday, with plenty of time to get used to the controls before TxK arrives

Looking forward to trying the PS4 remote play too so I can get some resogun time in when the wife is watching countless home improvement shows

Impressed with all the free stuff on PS+ too, set all the PS Vita and PS3 stuff to download (in case I ever pick up a used PS3, the only Playstation model I have skipped so far since I first got my hands on play time with the PSX at Earl's Court in '95).

So will TxK be available in all regions, and is it going to be a download only or also a boxed copy ?

I'm gonna stick a few bits on eBay tomorrow so I can buy a Vita , anyone fancy a boxed Steel Battalions controller :-)

Depends what you mean by all regions?

Any area/country that has a PSN Store web site/official Vita release I guess?

Guessing it's download only, but I'd buy a boxed version too.

I would hate to think what manufacturing those little boxed cards would cost (to say nothing of consumer prices, and the risk involved in making too many). What is it with you people who like physical artifacts?

Well with the new slim Vitas released on 7th Feb, hopefully Sony might highlight TxK on the store to help showcase them and shift units...

Not long to wait now!

PS Vita Sales Increase by 163% in UK Following Launch of PS4

I think we all know the real reason why Vita sales are up

Physical artifacts can be sold when no longer required or lent to friends so they can test out the game. As has already been seen digital downloads are outrageously priced on the next generation consoles

TxK been since day zero a "digital download only" game, cost of manufacturing cartridges/boxes becomes orders of magnitude higher it's not just a risk of making "too many" it's to begin with a set of phenomenal costs just to make one.

There some other costs that also become "mental", I'll let you discover by your own how much is going to cost for example getting the rating ( PEGI, ESRB, etc. ) of a game that is not a "digital download only" ( and so can benefit of the 'short form' ) but becomes a "full game" so needing the "full form" and thank goat the "short form" exists.

I am afraid for games of the type of TxK or so digital download only is the only possible way to go, it gives you various advantages, "the game is always there available" and you can download/re-download it any time.

In a perfect world there would a be a nice box with goodies maybe a manual and/or some things "old Infocom style" ..

BUT ..

In that perfect world it would mean we are millionaires already and we have the money to make that sort of things happen.

Unfortunately it's not a perfect world

Are you SURE they are OUTRAGEOUSLY priced ?

Yes, when a digital copy costs more than a physical copy from a retailer then the digital copy is outrageously priced. If you look at th Xbox 360 digital games, the price of the digital copy just didnt fall in line with the falling price of the physical version.

As for always being able to download a copy, thats a brave statement, many many times have we seen the digital copy servers vanishing and the person having no access. An example being the many Mp3 services that no longer exist.

In 10 years time will you be able to Download TxK, peobably not, but a physical version is mine as long as the physical media and hardware hold out.
