God is a Geek: "It’s great playing with gravity, especially in such a stylistically designed world, and there’s so much more to do this time around."

If the demo is anything to go by this game is going to be as good if not better than Gravity Rush remastered.

If you are thinking of getting GR Remastered and have a PS+ account it is on sale from the PSN store and it has three free DLC missions of two parts each. The story is interesting and as a hint "Get those Gems" and "Don't worry about upgrading your health till later".

If you have not played the demo and want to, you can play the beginner demo first (takes about 15 minutes) which explains Kat's gravity powers. The second part of the demo can take over 30 minutes and is much more interesting.

Like in the first game, I am looking forward to the challenges which can be surprisingly tough. It's not overly difficult to get gold but getting within the top ten in the world is, especially when timed trials can be measured to the nearest hundredth of a second and it is not unusual having thousands of players all within a few hundredths of second of each other.

A method of improving on the challenges is to set your joystick and six axis sensitivity high but if it's too high you could loose control at a critical moment. It can get even more difficult if you make some of your skills too high for you to handle.

Yeah art style and the comic strip design is a standout.

Underrated PlayStation JRPG Gem Goes 50% Off In New Sale

Gravity Rush would be an amazing series to be reborn on PSVR2. (sure to make the motion sick squeamish! haha) Anyone who has never played them should pick these games up though, they were really fun, unique/wild gameplay w a lot of style. My only complaint is the Part 2 has a really slow start, but it picks up.

shinoff2183440d ago

I remember when part 2 came out. Part 1 physical copy worth went through the roof.

OtterX440d ago

Nice. I still have have my Gravity Rush physical copy for Vita, but I only owned Remastered + 2 digitally. Wish I had gone physical though.

jznrpg440d ago

I own all of the games physically for Vita and PS4.

Gravity Rush in VR would most likely kill someone lolz. GR2 and the first Mirrors Edge are the only games I've played where I've gotten horrible motion sickness but just couldn't stop playing em. Really hope that motion capture clip really is a movie cause the series deserves more attention.

OtterX440d ago

Ha, yea it would be a bit like Sairento VR (constant 1st person flipping combat), mixed with Detached VR (360 space thrusters) with all comfort settings off, if you've ever played either of those! XD

Eidolon439d ago

GR1/2 would need quite the overhaul to work in VR. If they do make one from the ground up it definitely would work and couldn't be as motionly crazy as some games I've played on the Quest 2, like that Grapple game.

jznrpg440d ago

Loved the first one Vita and second on PS4. Most VR games I’m fine but the nature of Gravity Rush I am not sure I could handle it or not as it may make me feel sick to my stomach. I’d give it a try at least

GoodGuy09440d ago

Gravity rush 1 I really enjoyed but for some odd reason I couldn't as much with the sequel. It was a good game but the controls were very clunky and a game like that just really needs a higher framerate with how precise you need to be. Also everyone is for some reason just absolutely rude towards Kat which got me too annoyed lol.

The visuals and art style were amazing though. If they were to ever make a sequel, you fix these problems, then GR would be great games.

blackblades440d ago (Edited 440d ago )

I enjoyed and play the 1st one on vita, i enjoyed there. Then I played the remaster with dlc when it came out. Gravity rush 2 I bought long time ago on ps4 but never got into it. I didnt even make it to 1st quarter of it. Its just what it is, I'll try to get back on to it sooner or later.

Rebel_Scum440d ago

More an adventure game than a JRPG tbh

jznrpg440d ago

Second game felt more rpgish but I agree they are more adventure than rpg

Eidolon439d ago

Adventure games are more narrative. Life is Strange, etc... This is Action-Adventure, can even say slightly plaformer, some RPG elements, but of course they will call it JRPG(buzz word) to sell.

DefaultComment440d ago

Gravity rush should be on PC by now. At least that will get tose numbers to raise a little.

DarXyde440d ago

The stupidity of exputer calling Gravity Rush 2 a JRPG aside...If y'all haven't bought the game yet, please do. It's such a great, charming game.

I have been absolutely gutted at the idea that there won't be a Gravity Rush 3, and I genuinely hope people give it a fair shake.

Even After 7 Years, Gravity Rush 2 Is A Beautiful Game That Deserves PC Exposure

It's been 7 years since the mystifying Gravity Rush 2; if Sony plans to put obscure exclusives on PC, it's the very definition of underrated.

Skuletor466d ago

A Gravity Rush 2 port would be cool but I'm not sure how many people will be interested in buying a sequel to a game they haven't played before, though it worked for The Uncharted Legacy Collection so who knows? A Bloodborne port should definitely happen first though, the fact the game never even got a PS4 Pro patch is suspicious.
