Is this gonna be a thing every damn gravity rush 2 thread?. Screw Sony for showing off this new IP from a studio who hasn't made an AAA console game in years and not showing the sequel to a game people love but won't buy. I love gravity rush but it's niche.This is why Sony should have put the damn thing in their conference. Game looks amazing and they could have spent a few extra min with it. Instead we got yet another Zombie game eating up whole bunch of time.

Syphon filter and uncharted golden abyss were pretty good. Now this can be their chance to make a name for themselves. I don't understand the notion that throwing them under the bus and showing gravity rush 2 instead would make the situation any better. Could they have added gravity rush 2 hell yea but still they left alot of games out not just gravity rushSony Bend has yet to make an interesting game imo.

People are actually getting a a sequel to this series but apparently that isn't enough.
It should be rather obvious by now what they show is mostly based on US market potential. Days Gone has far more than Gravity Rush 2. I say this as someone who is far more interested in Gravity Rush 2 and Gravity Rush Remastered is my GotY for now. It is what it is.Completely agree...oh yay another Zombie game...please be excited guys!!, guys??
Yup if were being honest this shouldn't even be a thing. At the very least tho it should do better than tearaway unfoldedPeople are actually getting a sequel to this series but apparently that isn't enough.

I was so high on Gravity Rush 2 after just 20 minutes that I wondered why Sony, seemingly, didn't feel the same way, at least where its primetime conference is concerned. Perhaps it's because it's the surprising sequel to a quirky cult hit, befit with a strange core mechanic and potentially alienating art style. It's a refinement of that first game, not a radical departure from it.
In that sense, I get why Gravity Rush 2 was relegated to an E3 B-side. But few people will be as lucky to have the experience that I did: looking to play another game entirely but stumbling upon this truly hidden gem. Most people who want to play Horizon Zero Dawn will get to do that, Gravity Rush 2 consolation prize not included. Inclusion in the biggest show of the year is one thing, but visibility something Gravity Rush 2, for one reason or another, lacks is how a game truly wins an audience.
All of Kat's clothing ruffles in the wind now.
This game looks like The Last of Us, like all the other Sony 1st Party games. I have enough of all these Gravity-Games, with mindless action. And it has another boring female white character, flying through the city? Ugh. Next please.

More of that stylin' HUD design.
I don't know if the photo mode lets you take full screen pics, if not hopefully there's a no HUD option.

'potentially alienating art style' from who exactly? The people who were not going to buy the game anyway?
That polygon article's conclusions really rubs me the wrong way. Mostly because i think they are right and westerners(particularly Americans) are thought of as being super xenophobic
I think I need to play the original Gravity Rush on the PS4. Gyroscope controls on the Vita are very disorienting at times. PS4 seems like a better fit for this stuff since the gamepad is separate from the screen. I was trying to play it on Vita yesterday and when I started the game, I was sitting upright but was tilted at a 90 degree angle after going through a boss battle.
Gravity Rush 2 ... I hope it's a sleeper hit and gains traction. People citing the lack of any mention at the E3 event this year is good for word of mouth.
It's a big thing because games like Gravity Rush 2 are the ones that need the visibility. It's not a AAA game with realistic graphics that's so common and fits in so well with the other big games of today. Polygon hit on exactly why it should've been there

So it's not good enough that a sequel is being made because almost certainly that sequel being made has very little to do with SIEA who've seemingly ignored the franchise since the start. We want more games in the series and it's important that one division of Sony (and unsurprisingly it's SIEA like always) isn't treating it like it doesn't deserve to be around.
Is cool to have Sony Japan to try more unique games and concepts (TLG, GR2, Puppeteer, etc...) is a great contrast to the increasing uniformity of Sony America/Europe.
GR2 particularly became one of my most wanted games after this E3.
Puppeteer went off my radar, did the right thing and went to revisit it and was very pleased

I wonder whether Sony just wanted to avoid including a lot of (what they might perceive as) older, less exciting titles in their presser. Looking back, a huge percentage of the conference was taken up by reveals, be they gameplay reveals (like Detroit) or the regular kind (like God of War). The Last Guardian snuck in, but I feel like Sony pretty much feels obligated to show that game now.
GR2 had a lovely trailer, but it feels like we've known about the game for ages now, and it's a niche title (compared with the big hitters) to boot. I can see why the Sony bigwigs might've felt it was a less-than-essential inclusion.
That being said, I'd have kicked Last Guardian out in favour of Kat in a heartbeat.

I still consider it absolutely obscene that Sony haven't remastered that game at 1080/60 for the PS4 yet.
That is a bit of an unfair statement. Sony US/Europe also fund a lot of quirky, non-uniform games like Bound, Here They Lie, What Remains of Edith Finch, etc.

It isn't, it should be getting promoted for what it is, a sony first party fall game which looks unlike anything else and shows off how diverse their output can be. They could have easily spared 2 minutes in their conference to show it off.

That's a big problem I had with this years show. While the structure was great, I think it did a bad job of representing what Playstation is. The show was only around an hour and fifteen minutes long, so they ended it with fifteen minutes to spare. Which means trailers for games like GR2, Nioh, Nier 2, Yakuza 0 etc. could've all been shown and it would've still been under an hour and thirty minutes.
Last years PSX was a much better representation of why people love the PS brand. Which is interesting because PSX is designed for the fans. So who the hell are they designing E3 for?
Cant believe this entire thread(like the e3 trailer one) is about a trailer not being on stage. There were so many games not on stage. It was obvious what this e3 was about.

Throwing marketing at every single game won't suddenly make every game a hit. Sony has already said they produce games that they know will not make money but they are fine making them anyway given how much money the bigger titles are bringing in to make up for those smaller titles.I don't understand how this is related to complaining about the lack of marketing? Is it greedy, or too much to ask for Sony to support their own game? Or did you mean something else?
It wouldn't matter if more people heard about it. If it was that simple, every single game released would just get a bunch of marketing and would be hits.Game isn't marketed out of fear that it won't sell. Fewer people end up even hearing about it because it isn't marketed.
Self fulfilling prophecy.
Why does the writer of this article refer to Kat as a "silent protagonist"? She's the complete opposite! She's a character bursting with personality and quirks, and she's actually quite talkative.
On the subject of the game's no-show at the conference, it's well acknowledged by now that the beginning of the show was suffering from a recurring case of influence taken from The Last of Us, none more so than Days Gone, which just seemed to be checking off the list of everything that's popular in the AAA space right now and bafflingly got a double showing. Gravity Rush 2 inserted somewhere early on would've been the perfect antidote to all that familiarity, which makes its absence all the more frustrating. It's clear as day that some higher-up over at the American branch of Sony wants nothing to do with it.
Exactly.Not marketing it at an event where it will not appeal to the base audience is not the same as wanting nothing to do with it. Marketing is not some magical thing that instantly makes a game appeal to everyone.
Shit the remaster thread had less pages than a ps4 port of a digimon turn based game. Gravity rush is great but it's super niche and no amount og marketing will fix that. Would I love for it to sell millions hell yea,am u lucky that Sony had the balls to make a damn sequel in the first place? Hell yea lolThrowing marketing at every single game won't suddenly make every game a hit. Sony has already said they produce games that they know will not make money but they are fine making them anyway given how much money the bigger titles are bringing in to make up for those smaller titles.
It would be wonderful if GR2 could be a title that could push 1 million units in the first week but it isn't happening regardless of what Sony does or doesn't do. As mentioned before, we should be happy the sequel is being made period.
It wouldn't matter if more people heard about it. If it was that simple, every single game released would just get a bunch of marketing and would be hits.
Heck, look at NeoGaf. This is a more hardcore and enthused part of the gaming community and Gravity Rush doesn't draw big threads here.

That's my take. It's the same reason why they didn't show GT Sport. It wouldn't have moved the needle. But you know GT Sport will be a big player for their Gamescom/PGW event. I think Sony went into E3 PC wanting to have a focused, lean event that showed off games that would have the largest appeal to American gamers.Not marketing it at an event where it will not appeal to the base audience is not the same as wanting nothing to do with it. Marketing is not some magical thing that instantly makes a game appeal to everyone.
Do you really need this answered or are u jokingWhat makes a game a hit? Watch_Dogs sold millions and reviewed similarly to Gravity Rush (both the original and the remaster).

What page are we on here?Just want to make sure we're all on the same page.
Bound was shown. What makes that more appealing to the E3 audience?
