Aren't there any Japanese sites that email you the codes providing you have a Japanese address? I could have sworn Sofmap or someone did that.

For actual awesome import news on PSN, SPELUNKER Z IS OUT YOU GUYS! 1-5 serve as a tutorial, menus (with a bit of a tuturial) open up afterward, very easy to get into and understand but most importantly fun and feeling right. Six player co-op, lots of laughs and smiles. It is F2P but mainly for visuals and mid-mission continues, you have free continues in the tutorial stages, you can definitely enjoy it without paying a single yen.

The question is how or if we can register a Chinese account without issue. e: We can! Games are locked to the Chinese account no matter what apparently http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=156824686&postcount=120

If you're attempting to play, here's what I figured out about the in-game controls: Dpad Up opens the shop. Dpad Down teleports to base. Cross/Circle/Square/Triangle sets your current skill. R2+Cross/Circle/Square/Triangle upgrades that skill. R2 uses default attack (or skill if set). Touchpad opens scoreboard. gibbed fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Mar 21, 2015 |

If I were to make a Chinese account I would very definitely only fund it with prepaid codes sent to a misattributable email address and consider only ever connecting to it over a VPN. Not that anyone is above monitoring the internet these days, but China has always been a world leader in that sport.

I never did figure out if Softmap sends codes digitally, and I guess Megalixir isn't coming back, so I got PSN money from playasia like usual. Where's Japan on the drat digital preorders/preloads anyway? I want to play EDF4.1 as soon as I can.

The Japan store did have some games up for pre-order with pre-load, such as Bloodborne, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, and Dragon Quest Heroes. They were mixed in along with the new releases instead of being in a separate section, though. I don't believe any game is up for pre-order now.

The most ridiculous part was that they had some games on a "play the game at midnight!" promotion, which was perfect in the UK for being ready just as I came home from work on the Wednesday. That didn't even cover all the preorders available though! I tried to start up Disgaea 5 last week and it still had the timer running as everything outside of that promotion unlocked at 7am JST like normal. They just can't make up their mind, while even Nintendo update their store at midnight.

Did you have it fully installed? I tried it while installing (the part install lets you play the first mission only) and there's plenty of sub-60 framerates and maybe even some tearing. Dropping an artillery grenade as the air raider dropped the framerate well below 30. Blowing up tall buildings really harms the framerate. It's more the "slowdown for effect" drop than the "makes game unplayable" that you often got on PS3. Did you manage to get the NPC soldiers to sing with you?

Samurai Sanders posted:Yeah, it's all the way installed, and I haven't seen any slowdown or frame rate drops. I have a hard time thinking it's related though. Could be a single player versus online thing then. In any case it runs better than the previous best-running EDF anyway and to be honest if it has stayed at a high framerate during the artillery firestorm I would have been a bit disappointed. They've definitely fixed it where it counts, what with the rag doll recovery and faster loading.

Tamba posted:I use http://solarisjapan.com/collections/pointcards/products/playstation-network-card Just as a side note, Solaris Japan is a pretty awesome store for ordering physical games from too, particularly if you're in Europe. They happily let you tell them what to write on the Customs declaration to avoid extortionate import taxes. I ordered from them recently and the cheapest shipping method got my games to me in 5 days too which is massively better than Play-Asia.

Assault Suits Leynos demo up on J-PSN. I'm not familiar enough with the Leynos games of old nor Cybernator to say anything that it feels kinda soulless, and like something that originally was a PS3 piece.

There's a mode that restructures the game to make it play more like Valken, at least. Enemy spawns are less insane and makes the missions more linear instead of objective based. Like on level 1 in arcade mode the battleship just spawns when you get to the end of the level and you have a straight up bossfight instead of being a timer based thing. Its a really good port IMO, from the same dudes that made the Assault Suits tribute game Gunhound.
