I didn't know this game, but it's super pretty. The teaser trailer...teased me. Well, gotta go dig for some reviews now !

Reviews are actually pretty good! I looked into Tokyo 42 a couple of weeks ago or so when some people elsewhere were raving about the Steam version and I got intrigued.

This new company picked a good game for their debut -- they got that going for them at least.

Being from Germany that actually sounds awesome. Finally I hopefully don't have to pay half the price or more of the game for shipping and customs. Also only one game per month is pretty manageable.

This is interesting:

Only one release per month.

I guess they know better than to contribute to the saturating market with several releases per month. At this point, the only company doing that is Limited Run Games.

This is a little off-topic, but can anyone in this thread recommend a place to watch out for upcoming physical releases (not just limited ones though)?

There are plenty of game release lists out there, but most that I come across are littered with listings of digital games. If anyone knows of any well-maintained lists that are specific to physical, or that I can at least filter, would be useful.

The Moon pointed out GameFAQs search at the start of this thread; it's pretty handy. The site will let you search upcoming titles by release format.

It helps that gamefaqs is big and popular so things get added quickly, usually. Just be aware that the db runs mostly on community submissions so if it's upcoming stuff, it might be incomplete. But in general, I like their database there.

Thanks! That's almost perfect. I've used and mostly liked their 'upcoming releases' sections before, but I'd never wondered over to the 'advanced search' to see the nifty release format filter.

Next exclusive from East Asia will be Rive. I am disappointed since I don't have anything to pair Tachyon Project now.

RIVE will join our PS4 Limited Edition lineup in September. Limited to 2500pcs (1500 blue box / 1000 orange box)!

By the way, since Two Tribes has disappeared, who's profiting from all these Limited releases ? Indiebox, LRG, Play-Asia... Rive is everywhere ^^

This one has a manual and an OST... LRG's one is vanilla right ? That makes this release interesting...

Sorry if its slightly offtopic but has anyone from europe ordered at play-asia since you pre-pay customs? I don't mind paying in advance but I'm wondering if this means I don't have to deal with the customs offfice at all. I had some really bad experiences with them recently and I don't want to go there ever again if possible ;)

I got the LRG release of Rive, but it was like a last minute decision. If it's going to be like this (meaning: superior P-A release after the facts, often even for a better price all things considered), I'm not buying another PS4 game off of LRG unless it's something real special.

Well, mostly I think you want to keep an eye on what eas publishes. They handled the Asian release for it back in May so it wasn't too surprising that they'd do one.

Mine too, but I ordered them before I knew LRG was releasing them... I think I'll keep the Vita version and probably sell off the PS4 version as I ordered the PS4 version from LRG already.

Agreed. Every time I receive a newsletter e-mail from 8bit, I'm always hoping it has information on their next physical PS4 run. Unfortunately as a current-gen collector, their business primarily caters to the vinyl soundtrack crowd first-and-foremost with the occasional oddball "collector's edition" that doesn't even offer diehard fans a tangible version of the game. For what it's worth, Limited Run Games basically implied that 8bit would be the "best bet" for What Remains of Edith Finch on PS4. Annapurna was "open to other possibilities" in regard to a potential physical disc release following its digital debut and 8bit seems pretty open about making it happen. Hopefully it's just a "worst kept secret" kind of deal where it's just a matter of it being finalized and released to the public.

Iam8bit have done some poor choices in the past, if this SNES game starts to catch fire in peoples home they will go under.

Just got this mail from play-asia:
We're writing in with regards to your order of PSV Tachyon Project. We have
accidentally sent a sample to some of our customers, and if you have received the
sample please send us a photo of the item. Once we have received the photo, we will
be replacing the item with the right game and we will shoulder all of the shipping
costs involved for both return and reshipment.

Basically they sent some non-final copies to people on accident that were not supposed to go out. Like the stuff they produce when they're in the process of making the boxset/game.
