This looks like a pretty solid title for the Vita. Just want to check, is this only going to be a PSN download?

No this is not a psn only download :/

Yea been playing for a couple of hours now. havent even slept yet. Actually lost track of time

Not even gonna bother trying to describe how damn good the game looks you have to see it running infront of you or you won't even believe me...

Game is hella fun though, cant even remember the last time a game kept me up all night. i wonder why developers don't make old school brawlers like this anymore, i used to love these. really just dying to unlock online co-op now, dunno why it wasn't available from the start

how are people playing this on ps3 though, there's so much stuff that needs to be clicked on i'm almost using the vita touch all the time. almost feels as if it it would easier to play this game with a mouse at times

T_T i haven't even unlocked online yet

I wonder if the ps3 version has more extras compared to the vita version ?

Well finally unlocked online co-op yesterday, was suprised how completely different the game feels once you start playing online. i love how there are different ways to finish each stage. when i was reading articles on the web that part never quite made sense to me until i did the red dragon boss fight. anyways online is great, was a bit worried at first because there were no lobbies so was afraid playing with other regions would cause lag but i played pretty much the whole night and ran through almost every single dungeon without a hitch. will probably only get better once they release the patch.

just a bit curious about the PvP fights haven't unlocked them or seen anything on them yet but their seems to be some video footage on youtube, can't wait to unlock those

well ps3 version has local co-op, but other than that, they're completely the same. vita version does have better controls though

thats about the only difference i can tell between the two versions

NIS America just officially announced a release date for Dragon’s Crown in Europe. The critically acclaimed beat ‘em up will hit the shelves of the Old Continent on October the 11th.

The publisher also confirmed that the beautiful artbook that was previously made available with preorders in the US and in Japan will land in Europe as well, even if it will be distributed only at yet unspecified “select retailers.”

Hey Guys, Just an update ~ Looks like it will be launching this week on PS3 and PSV, be surem to have your pre-order in as we have the Artbook pre-order incentive for guys that pre-order!

I got it on Vita and PS3. The artbook is really good. Some high quality sh1t

hey guys, do you think it will be better to get this game on PSV or PS3?

I hear the touch controls on the PSV make controlling the thief companion way better than using the analog on the PS3 to do.

I plan on getting the PSV version just because more ppl in JPN have it on PSV than they do on PS3.

@Sinn, thanks for the info!sounds like a good use of the Vita's touch screen.

After the patch it's far better on PS3, also why would you want to waste such a beautiful game on a tiny screen?

the ps3 and vita versions both get the same patches.

if you want local co-op get the ps3 version, if you want touch screen controls and portability get the vita version. in the end there really is no major difference between them, get whichever one you want.

because beautiful games look beautiful on the PSV screen?
I dunno.

Rayman origins look amazing on the PSV and I would really never reconsider buying the PSV version over the PS3 except that the latter had local co-op like DC.


But I agree with Ragna, that is sound enough reasoning for which version to choose. Im nto sure if the thief aspect is better on the PS3 now, just what I heard about the touch implementation, and I think its a pretty non-intrusive touch feature at that.

Not disputing that it doesn't look great on Vita, I'm saying why play it on such a tiny screen when you have a choice? Can guarantee you now the game looks no where near as good on Vita than it does on a big screen TV.

Plus if your going to be playing online it's better to get it on PS3, we all know Vita is a dead device that barely anyone has. You'll find a lot more enjoyment online with the PS3 version.

Even if online isn't a factor, invite 3 friends over for some local co-op action without them needing a copy of the game and their own Vita

This game should of been cross buy to begin with, they where incredibly stupid separating it.

ummmm i play online all the time. i've never had trouble finding people even once. heck i did a labrynth of chaos run just yesterday. and the online isn't region locked either. finding players is not a problem. and don't really see how bigger tv= better graphics. the vita screen size is perfectly fine

Yeah and enjoy the crappy lag? Where you have to press the attack button 5 times before anything comes out, or stand over and item for ages before it gets picked up.

The only reason your playing online is cause barely anyone here has the game on Vita, play local players and the game always runs well, it's not a hit or miss with international players.

Online with international players killed the game for me, started to just run through the dungeons by myself.

Far more enjoyable with the local players that have the game.

I believe this says that it can do cross play.
Awesome



@DP fair enough, I cant argue with your reasoning about getting the PS3 version.
