[Tizoc]

Never played it, will finally get to experience it.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Fine, Shawn, you've won this round.

 

[daydream]

BOUGHT.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Yay! Thanks Shawn! I always wanted to play this.

 

[Sorcerer]

Okay.

Now in this context, his praise for Vib-Ribbon at E3 finally makes sense.

 

[kunonabi]

Great news since you couldn't even play the game on a modded ps2. Not sure why anyone would want it on Vita though.

 

[jackissocool]

The way he writes is hilarious.

This is great news. Wish it supported music on the Vita, though :/

 

[OverBlood 3]

How do I swap my music CDs in?

Step by step
Hop the mountain

Hop the ocean
Step by step
Hop the rainbow
I'll be running

They say PS3 will have CD Audio compatibility... but what about Vita?

I would pay double price for a proper port (Vita MP3 support and PS4 version)

[duckroll]

Vib Ribbon is the “one that got away” and back then, when we still had that old-school thinking around regional lockout, there was no simple way for those outside of Europe and Japan to even encounter the game.

Wow. I really never thought I would see the day where a first party actually admits and points out how garbage region-lock is in an official PR statement. It feels... so good.

I wouldn't hold my breath. It's just an emulator on PS3, and the PS3 can read CDs, while the Vita (and the PS4 for that matter) cannot read CDs. Would require reprogramming the game if they wanted MP3 support.

 

[Reedirect]

I never understood the sudden interest in this game (since it's not exactly great), but the more PS classics the better.

 

[Chuck]

lol, 5 people tried to make the first thread about this

 

[Deleted member 126221]

Vib Ribbon AND Twin Peaks comeback, announced on the same day. Am I dreaming?

 

[delSai]

I'd rather have a Game starring this Guy

His Voice Actor is amazing, he even has some Songs on Spotify. Check out Denky Lon if you want to hear his Songs.

 

[Yuuichi]

Now that MS seems to have figured it out as well, I'm sure Nintendo will in the next 5-10 years or so.

 

[woxel1]

Gaming is over, we did it everybody

 

[Sorcerer]

Just the fact that it has vector graphics is enough for me. Can never get enough of that.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Honestly I think the game looks garbage, but its good to see that the ceo cares enough about games to push through a passion project, even if it has no chance of being a hit.

 

[Takao]

Great news since you couldn't even play the game on a modded ps2. Not sure why anyone would want it on Vita though.

I think the vector visuals would look great on a Vita 1000's screen.

 

[FloppyDelux]

Holy shit, i never got to play this game, will d/l

 

[Zonic]

OH HELL YES. Been wanting to try this game, awesome to see it finally come to the US. Would be amazing if it allowed MP3 support on the Vita, but I can always use some of my gaming OSTs on the PS3 version.

 

[PixyJunket]

No, Sony, the "one that got away" was Ore no Ryouri.

That said, I'm all about this! Release more imports!!

Dafuq?

 

[KalBalboa]

This is pretty fantastic.

 

[Ruruja]

Used to play this game all the time as a youngster, the songs by Laugh & Peace were really fun too. I'm jealous of whoever gets to play this for the first time.

They'd have to reprogram the game, which would be a rather big undertaking for a PS1 Classics release.

 

[atomsk]

Losing my shit over here.

The only PS1 game I ever imported.

 

[Cheat Code]

Shawn Layden will lead the way to a proper Vib Ribbon sequel.

 

[bjork]

Vib Ribbon AND Twin Peaks comeback, announced on the same day. Am I dreaming?

This is what I came to post. I was actually having a pretty shitty day until I saw these two news pieces, woooooooo

 

[Acquiescence]

Fantastic news - Layden redeemed. If you're a "Vibri virgin," then this is definitely one "vibrating rabbit" that you want to play with.

Well, you're wrong.

What a weird fucking day. Also, goddamnit Shawn I see that you gotta believe in there. Don't fuck with me again!

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

PS3 has both unavoidable input lag and then there is the lag that comes with HDTVs. Vita might be the best option here for a lag-free experience.

 

[7DollarHagane]

This is so awesome.

 

[Dizzy]

Good that Americans finally get this game. Now how about being fair Sony and giving us Europeans some classic PS1 rpgs we never got?

 

[Kyoufu]

Great. Vib Ripple next please.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

WALKING BY THE RIBBON...

Finally. One of my favorite PS1 games. So excited more people get to check it out.

 

[BronsonLee]

All yours! Go ahead, you can even keep it

 

[Hitokiri03]

Yep, only Nintendo that doesn't get it.

 

[Acquiescence]

Vita version won't allow you to play levels generated randomly from any CD though. You're severely limiting your Vib Ribbon experience without that feature.

I think I found out the first song I am going to play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8EdrcGDzow

PS3 component cables and a CRT

[Cha]

Wanted this game on my Vita for a while now. Glad we're getting it. Would be amazing if it could support custom tracks, but I understand why it won't

 

[Ingueferroque]

They make it sound like they will somehow implement a workaround for this, though. However implausible that may seem. (To put any effort into this besides the PR)

You should probably thought before you speaking....
