Det unika fighting-spelet Skullgirls 2nd Encore släpps under morgondagen till PS Vita. Den handhållna versionen kommer att innehålla bland annat all DLC, nya utmaningar, Lokal multiplayer via PSTV och cross play med Playstation 3 & 4. Nedan finns informationen i sin helhet tillsammans med ett uttalande angående den utdragna portnings-processen.
"We previously expected this to launch last summer, for which we apologize — Skullgirls features a huge amount of hand-drawn animation (averaging around 1,500 frames per character), so balancing performance and image quality on the handheld proved trickier than expected. And just when we thought we were close, we had to change gears to focus on deadlines for Arc System Works' release in Japan.
We've put a lot of effort into the PS Vita version of Skullgirls 2nd Encore, and we hope you'll find the wait was worth it!
In addition to making sure the basic controls and gameplay are responsive, we've also added front-screen macros. Tapping these sectors on the front screen will activate a customizable macro, letting you call an assist, switch characters, or whatever else you can think of."
For those who haven't been keeping up, 2nd Encore is the ultimate edition of Skullgirls, containing:
All 5 DLC characters
Fully voiced story mode
New Challenges — including playing as the Skullgirl herself, Marie!
New Trials
New Survival Mode
Full Platinum Trophy set
The PS Vita version also features:
Cross play with the PS4 and PS3 versions
Local multiplayer support via PSTV
And, as we noted above, Skullgirls 2nd Encore on PS Vita is one of a handful of games to support local multiplayer on PSTV. Just sync a second DualShock 3 or 4 controller and you'll be able to play with a friend next to you, just like the PS3 or PS4 versions!
On top of that, Skullgirls 2nd Encore is cross buy — buying the PS Vita version will get you the PS4 release, and vice versa. If you already own the PS4 version, you're already taken care of — just log into the PS Vita store after Tuesday's update and download away! Couldn't be easier
