New off-screen gameplay footage of Strider on PlayStation 4

Thanks for the info. I went ahead and scored a physical copy off Play-Asia for $42 plus shipping just in case they don't go physical. Anyone know if these digital download vouchers I am getting with the game will work over here?

For digital download stuff, you probably need to access the Japanese PSN & maybe set up a Jp PSN account.  I've never done it though, so I'm not sure.  I seem to recall hearing people buy games(including PC Engine games) off the Jp PSN, but I don't know if you can have a US account & a JP one??

^oh man, i really do want the physical version but hearing that 1 + 2 are digi is a bummer.  i'd love to see pics of the mask, art book & theme though!

I'd like the Japan physical retail PS3 release, but at present I don't even have a North American PS3 console, only the PS4. 

Not only that but I cannot justify spending more money on an import PS3 retail release of Strider when it is half the framerate of the PS4 version not to mention 720p.

So PS4 version, tomorrow, here I come.

Besides, I'm trying to save up for an OLED PS VITA before they're totally replaced with the LCD -2000 model which has been officially announced for NA release this spring.

The digital downloads of Strider 1 & 2 might be region locked since they are emulating region locked games.

[munchiaz]

you would need a Japanese PSN account to access the DLC on a Japanese game. But creating a Japanese PSN account is easy. There are videos online that will walk you through it

[handygrafx]

PSN versions should be released @ 2 PM PST today in NA, but also read that the 360, XBone versions won't versions won't be out until the 19th, tomorrow on XBLA.

On a side note, in general, it sure as shit is confusing trying to not get confused by all the different consoles / territories / online services / time zones.

Last but not least, launch trailer:

Schwing!

Whoa 

Strider just got released on the PS4's PSN store literally within the last few minutes.

Downloading now 

[roflmao]

Holy cow that looks like a game I'd suck at.

It's pretty though.

The digital downloads of Strider 1 & 2 might be region locked since they are emulating region locked games.

  PSN games are locked to whatever account you are signed in with.  System region makes no difference.  I have a Japanese psn account for japanese psn stuff and a US psn account on the same system.  You just have to be signed in to what ever account you downloaded from to play.

[GohanX]

I've got two accounts as well, but I don't have to sign in to the Asian account to play the games, I only need to do it to download them.

I decided with no next gen system to purchase the new Strider through Steam.  Glad I did since it runs at a nice 60 fps like the ps4 and xboxone.  It's actually better than I  thought it would be.  I like it a lot more than Strider 2.  I really didn't care for Strider 2.
