Sword Art Online JRPG

Just thought I'd post this cause I found this series to be pretty interesting after watching season 1, my wife watches a lot of anime's and recommended it to me since it involves video games and D&D (sort of). The animated series is about a group of MMO players who are trapped inside a video game (like Tron) and are trying to survive\escape. The only way to exit the world is beating someone or something in a many leveled dungeon\tower. Its very well done IMO.

 

I recently found out they made a Vita game for it and its being ported and re-translated to the PS4 as well as a new console based sequel. Some info if there is any interest:

Pre-orders on the PS4 digital release nabs you the first game for free, just wish the same offer applied to the physical release as well.

I actually ordered the Vita retail of the first game a few weeks ago. Lots of games that only see digital release in Europe and the US are released as English language retail versions for Asia. Part 2 I might play on PS4 then... not yet sure how well it is suited for the big screen though. Seems to be pretty hack and shashy, so maybe it is better on the Vita. I'll try part 1 and see.

 

Actually, with what we call the first game you get two games already; there was a game before the Vita one for PSP, and that one is included. So with the digital pre-order for PS4 you kind of get 3 games. Not a bad deal, but I absolutely prefer retail.

Me too, I think I will stick with retail on this one even though you get the bonus games. I'm almost finished with the anime and looking forward to the game.

 

There's also Star Ocean, Persona 5, Dragon Quest and Y's 8 coming later on PS4.

 

Phantasy Star Online 2 is out in next year in Japan but nowhere else I think.
