Limited Run Stranger's Wrath Vita Release

[Steef-Herder]

The physical release of Limited Run's STRANGER'S WRATH HD on PS Vita goes live this Friday (09/12/16) so I figure we might as well have a thread in the run up to it. Who's picking up a copy?



What's to know;

• Vita-only release, no PS4 version as a port does not yet exist for it
• 4500 units, max of 2 per customer and region free
• Includes a reversible cover, poker cards (new design) and a foldout map of the Mongo River Valley (based on this)
• An even more limited PSX2016 'blue cover' variant will also be available. Only 1000 of these are printed and was initially launched at the PSX event just gone by - the rest will be available online same time as the regular edition release. It features Silvio Aebischer art on the front and back as well as a thank you message to the fans from Lanning and McKenna.
• Will retail for either $24.99 or $29.99

Releasing a physical game for just the PSVita in 2016 is a terrible move. I don't think anybody has bought a game for that console since 2014.

Which is why they only print in small batches (typically 3-5000). Every other Limited Run Vita release has sold out more or less within a day, including New N' Tasty.

[Xavier]

I'll take one of each, for collecting and supporting purposes

[Varrok]

The blue cover looks extra pervy.

I bet FennecFyre has already ordered this.

What a bizarrely strange thing to say. Of course they have.

Googling "PS Vita Failure" might surprise you. The console sales (up to 12mln units, and not going to rise much anymore) are a fraction of what PSP or 3DS achieved (82mln and ~62mln units sold, respectively) due to lacking suport from Sony, general lack of good games (non-ports), expensive hardware etc.

Personally, I don't own the console (and I'm not in the minority there, as disappointing PSVita sales have almost become a meme on its own), but my roommate brought one home yesterday. The conversation went like:

-Oh hey, you got a Vita. Any good games for it? *smirks*
-...nope. *proceeds to hack the console*

The quote referenced the claim that nobody had bought a Vita game since 2014. Which is nonsense.

[Varrok]

It is. That was clearly an exaggeration based on low sales of the console.

I mean, this is Nepsotic, after all. I'm sure he didn't mean it in the most literal way, but rather the "trying to be edgy, coming out as douchey instead" way.

[Nepsotic]

Or perhaps it was simply an exaggeration.

Oh you got me good.

[Nepsotic]

You got rekt m8

Hey now, I may be Stranger fangirl trash, but I don't even OWN a Vita. Also, it's not my fault that Stranger was so suave in his early concept art.

Would have loved to score a print of that map, though.

[Vlam]

Who owns a Vita?

[Crashpunk]

I don't. But I'm still going for that blue cover variant.

They are nice collector's items and it also supports the devs.

[Varrok]

Wow, Crashpunk. Wow.

[Nepsotic]

lol

[Steef-Herder]

I don't. But I'm still going for that blue cover variant.

Same. I'll prolly never own a Vita but I hardly have the time for playing games anymore anyway. I just wanna support the series and collect Oddmerch.

Also the PSX blue variant is already going for $150-250 on eBay so it's now or never!

[Nepsotic]

Okay, Alex, I retract my statement. This fanbase is dumb and OWI knows it.

The map is going to be available with the "regular" version which goes on sale on the site on the 9th of December.

Leftovers of the PSX blue edition will be made available on the Limited Run website on the 9th of December. Maybe wait a bit before paying multiple times the price.

It's called "knowing its target market". And by the way I plan buying them all even if I have no VITA for the exact same reasons Crashpunk listed.

[Nepsotic]

Yeah, they know their target market is dumb.

[Xavier]

Are you calling people dumb because they have different interests and priorities than you do?

Or is there actually some good reason for it?

[Vlam]

Yeah, they know their target market is dumb.

OWI should consider the idea of selling a "special edition" of SW with no disc inside.

[Varrok]

A consumer participating in something that's basically anti-consumer (buying the product regardless of its quality, for purely ideological reasons) is unwise, to say the least.

[Xavier]

Lets see where this goes...

So every person who buys a 6€ candle from a charity like Amnesty is unwise?

[Nepsotic]

Not if they don't have electricity.

OWI should consider the idea of selling a "special edition" of SW with no disc inside.

You mean like Capcom did with the UK edition of the RE7 collector's edition?

[Manco]

It’s not anti-consumer to buy something because you want it. That’s literally being a consumer.

[Varrok]

Then literally nothing is anti-customer.

[Vlam]

By the way, given the fact that the fanbase has money to burn: why isn't OWI relying on crowdfunding?

[Manco]

Then literally nothing is anti-customer.

… Not buying something?
