![]() I would have an official PS4 disc, shrink wrapped and straight off the presses, to hold up and put on my wall, and those of you who had been asking for years for a physical copy would be able to get your hands on one too. When I looked at the numbers, breaking even didn’t seem out of the question, and even if I came close to doing that, it would be worth it. Like many indie ventures though, it was driven not by revenue, but by passion - much like going indie in the first place. As I stepped into the uncharted territory, no one knew how it well it would do, exactly how many copies to print, or even if it would be profitable. If the PS4 retail version hadn’t done as well as it did, this PS Vita version would never have come to be.Īs the first indie to self-fund and self-publish a PS4 retail release, there were a lot of unknowns. Of course, we wouldn’t be here today to unveil a second retail SKU of RCR:DX if it weren’t for you, the fans! Thanks to your support of the PS4 retail version, a door was opened to make another dream come true – that is, release official cartridges! PS Vita cards, to be specific. Having gone from developing games for other studios to starting my own studio, developing my own games, and then publishing my own retail SKUs has been incredibly surreal. As more and more games shift to digital-only releases, having that trophy of your work to hold in your hands and put on your wall means more than ever. Releasing a retail version of Retro City Rampage DX on PS4 Blu-ray was a dream come true, and again, I can’t thank everyone at Sony enough for allowing it to be it possible. It was a game I could call my own in more ways than one. Catching a whiff of that surprisingly not patented “new shrink wrap smell”, I reached in and pulled one out. I wasted no time and immediately tore it open to find thirty blue PS4 games. Last November, one of the most important packages of my life was delivered. Order now, before it’s too late! Estimated ship date is 3-4 weeks. It’s available for pre-order right now at for $30. Without the rating classification, I’m able to sell it for a much lower retail price. Why, you might ask? Well, that’s a tale for another blog post, but suffice to say, the ESRB was kind enough to allow it to be released without one (shout out to Rocco!), and that means big cost savings passed onto you! With limited print runs, every cost adds up. Using Cross Save, you can pick up where you left off on the PS4, PS3, and/or digital PS Vita versions.Īnother fun fact: This retail release is also unrated the first (and currently only) North American PS Vita game without an ESRB rating. It can install alongside the digital version if you already have it, and is 100% compatible with the existing Cross Save feature. To make things extra special, it also sports retail exclusive gold themed PS Vita Live Area art, including a new icon and seal. ![]() ![]() What that means is that if you’re aiming for a complete collection, you can’t miss it! It’s region free, so it’ll play on all of your PS Vita systems, worldwide.Īs with the PS4 version, it’s the real deal and part of the official PS Vita game library (PCSE-00630 to be exact!). It comes factory shrink wrapped in your standard issue official blue case with new front and back cover art (different from the PS4 version). This limited edition PS Vita retail version comes to you on an official 2 GB PS Vita card, busting at the seams, filling 19.8 MB of its capacity. Includes a PS Vita card and case (factory sealed).GETTING RIGHT TO IT… WHAT’S BEHIND CURTAIN NUMBER ONE? Whew, okay! Now that you’re relaxed, I think you’re ready to sit back and read the blog post! Here’s the link to the PS Vita retail version. Now, if your heart’s racing, you’re sweating - you’re frazzled because you missed the PS4 blu-ray, stay calm! ![]()
