Velocity 2X OUT NOW ON PLUS

I've hit my wall at level 17, not sure of lack of attention, or destiny on the horizon, but I just gave up! I cant play it just to do the levels, I'd need to perfect them.

I have to say, I'm not finding this that interesting either.

It's sort of ok, but hasn't gripped in the same way that more old-school shooters do.

Not for me, I think.

Don't go for the frenetic speed based combo high score bullshit then, I don't and still find the game enjoyable. If I beat somebody on the leaderboard I beat them, if not I'm still enjoying the gameplay.

That's exactly how I'm playing it and I would say is the best way to approach the game. Once you master it then go back for perfect scores. As I'm playing it on the Vita on a train I don't see any scores anyway, probably for the best...

Level 27 Ice Caves, that bit is frustrating.

Do you mean the bit where you have to teleport down and drop, not touching the...errrr...burning sections? On the last section you need to jump down (not teleport) then teleport across. A lot of it is muscle memory, just keep at it and it'll come naturally to you.

Velocity 2X is my lunchtime game in work, but after leaving the house this morning I realised that I'd forgotten to cross-save my data after playing on PS4 last night, so I'd miss out on the progress when I play the game on Vita this afternoon. Sad times. Lunch ruined.

Or not. When I got to work, I logged into my PS4 via Remote Play, loaded up Velocity 2X and cross-saved the data from there. ALL HAIL THE FUTURE WHICH IS NOW.

That bit stumped me as well. I felt like a right idiot when I worked it out.

I'm not being sarcastic: that really is impressive to me.

I'm confused.

I've collected all the crystals (including 710/700 on one level, weirdly), yet on the progress screen it says I have 8720/8736. IDGI...

EDIT: Ah, I see. Sneaky!

Anyway, only 8 more levels to perfect, then to find one more codex entry.

What would be more impressive is if it just sorted the cross save stuff out by itself without having to manually upload it.

Yeah, true enough. You feel that's 'as intended' (ie surely Sony means for the cross-saves to update automatically) - do any games do that or is it a firmware thing?


(Actually, I think Motorstorm RC does it, though the scoreboards are a bit laggy to update sometimes.)
