you compare it with Tenchu, but it doesnt look very tenchu to me...
It still looks good though.

Just as an heads up; I love the closed beta ^_^
I also came here to ask about a Pro Patch. Already answered and I love the answer
Yeah, sounds great.

I've said it plenty of times... it's got similar gameplay elements to Tenchu ('hook' mechanic, stealth kills, hard difficulty..) but it's definitely a very different game. Don't buy it expecting a PS4 Tenchu, buy it only if you like 3rd person stealth games with some unique art style and a Dishonoresque approach to scenario mobility.

Oh don't get me wrong, it looks awesome. The thing i miss about tenchu is all the tools you could use. This looks awesome and i'll definitely check this out though.

The game comes out on October 4th.
I was wondering what ever happened to my coupon. I'd been holding off on purchases, but I never saw it. Time to get Sony on the horn...
(Edit: I just live chatted through the PlayStation website and had my code within 2 minutes. Best customer service I've had anywhere in a while!)

Ah so there is no preorder? No one can buy it on steam right now?
I am asking because it wouldn't be the first time a game can't be bought in switzerland, pricing issues I think.

Got my PS4 review code a few days ago. Haven't had a chance to redeem it since until this morning. It is downloading now, very excited!

That's like 25% of the time. I usually just scream at my partner for getting spotted so fast and messing up my stealthy run
It's hilarious 'thoHere's last night's draft of my |OT| if anyone wants a preview, or if David, M_B, or anyone else has any input or suggestions. The previous |OT|s have all been spontaneous posts with little effort to make them really stand out. I've got 4 days off before launch, so I figured I'd go bigger.
I spent a couple solid hours just messing with the section headers, finding a font that I thought complimented the style, and toying around with the spacing before settling with what I've got here. I still need to play around with some of the spacing.
I've added the Co-op trailer link since then, and made a few tweaks to the overall spacing. I still need to give it a proof read too, but I'll wait until I've pretty much got it finalized.
I really wish GAF would allow for colored text, so I'll probably just go through and bold some other key words similar to the way description stuff is presented on the official Aragami site.
Still a bit concerned since I opted to just go with the localized CE, and GameStop still shows a release date of 10/11. I assume that's just because they don't really care much about an indie game when there are so many 'glorious' military shooters on the horizon. If it's not there on the 4th, I'll just go digital.

I still remember playing the student project. These devs really deserve praise for coming so far. Even after the Kickstarter unfortunately failed, they kept working hard on the game.

oh wow, didnt know they had a kickstarter.
my respect and appreciation for Mr Leon and Linceworks has grown even more.

Pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of my post for once:
Downloading the 2.8GB update now - nice to get the chance to play over the weekend! I'm not sure not whether it was really worth the additional cost for the Signature Edition, but I'm glad to support this type of game and it's not a high price anyway, so can't really complain.
Edit: VSync and FoV options in a console game - that's unusual and impressive!

Two days isn't all that long - you'll have it before you know it!
I've had the chance now to play through the first chapter and all feels solid; he Dishonored-like teleport/blink in particular is very satisfying. I love the art style, and the music gives exactly the right atmosphere.
In terms of performance (on PS4), it seems to be running okay, though this isn't something that I'm usually a great judge over. Screen tearing *is* noticeable without VSync enabled, but turning that on seems to address the issue without a noticeable performance hit. Load times are short and restarting checkpoints is pretty much instant.
I got an "A" rank from the first chapter (I assume that ''S" will be the highest?), with the "no detections" seal (one enemy off from "all kills") - I can tell that I'm going to want to go for 100% here. All in all, initial impressions are quite strongly positive and I look forward to playing more!

Any word on length or on UK price on Steam?

Thank the heavens for no HUD. That shit needs to die unless it's absolutely vital. It looks really nice from what we've seen so far. What framerate are we looking at here? I'm assuming 30fps. Also, please tell me the difficulty is balanced, and that any fail states are the complete fault of the player. That is vital in a game like this.

Got to go back even more
The first ones are from the original 2013 student project/prototype

How much is this going to be again? $19.99?

30fps on PS4, unlocked on PC.
Probably, but the only 'official' word that I've seen on digital pricing is the $15-$25 range. Physical copies retail at £19.99 in the UK (both PC and PS4)
Just found out about this. One of the special things about Tenchu (specifically 4) was how realistic and beautiful the executions were. Sadly this doesn't really have that.
