    If you've played the Vita version, you know exactly what you're getting into. To this day, Gravity Rush is still my favorite PS Vita game. Included in the Remastered version is all the DLC from the original, along with the obvious resolution/framerate/etc boost. It looks better, runs better, and feels better.
    Patiently waiting for Gravity Rush 2.

    Underrated by the game reviewing press o it's release, who only gave it 7/10 or 3/5 etc... they were wrong and probably never even finished the game, it is a masterpiece a lot of love clearly went into this along with spades of creativity to five this 3 out of 5 is an insult guys

    A true masterpiece of indie gaming now in PS4! Definite improvement from the Vita release with better framerates, graphics and a lots more in the technical side. DLCs are also included in the package. A must buy for new Gravity Rush fans eager to get started on Kat's journey.

    Playing my favorite game on the PS Vita but now on the big screen with more beautiful graphics (all of the textures were really overhauled and redone) and at a silky smooth 60 fps with zero drops? What more could I possibly ask for!

The game mechanics are simple but can be used creatively. The six axis motion and touchscreen controls are not too intrusive. Simply a great video game experience. There is definitely a bright future for this IP.… Expand

    I've been actively playing videogames since I was just a couple years old. From the Sega Genesis to the PlayStation 4, I've played hundreds of different titles.

It has everything going forI've been actively playing videogames since I was just a couple years old. From the Sega Genesis to the PlayStation 4, I've played hundreds of different titles. I've played so many games now that I often feel like its hard to find really the unique experiences. Gravity Rush has completely caught me off guard. This is an incredibly fresh and rewarding game. It has everything going for it; from the thrilling gameplay, to the stylish anime art, and an engaging story-line.

    The wonderfully stylish art and the fairly lighthearted story mesh together very well. The world has a crisp anime look and takes inspiration from French art works. You experience the world through Kat. Kat wakes with amnesia but quickly finds she can manipulate gravity thanks to her mysterious cat Dusty. You find yourself in a floating city that is struggling to fend off an infestation of these monsters called Nevi. You quickly run into an officer named Syd who recruits you to help protect the city. Along you're journey you run into another shifter named Raven and its unclear a first what her intentions are but as you progress you'll find that she is in a difficult predicament.

    The main aspect of this game that will suck you in and keep you coming back is the ability to control your own gravity. By just the press of a button Kat will start to float in the air. Then all you have to do is aim at where you want to go and press the same button to send Kat falling in that direction. It feels a lot like flying but its really more a change of perspective as you'll proceed to walk on walls and collect gems hanging beneath various structures. There are gems scattered all over the world and trying to find them all is incredibly addicting. You can use them to upgrade Kat's abilities such as increasing her ability to manipulate gravity or strengthen her combat powers.

    The gameplay is divided between story missions, side quests, and challenges. All three will often be focused on combating the Nevi. You can use gravity to your advantage as you perform flying kicks and hurl objects by picking them up in a stasis fields. The challenges not only test you're combat prowess but test how well you can quickly manipulate your gravity for precision and speed in various time trials around the city. The side quests are mostly silly stories that require you to dress up in new outfits for tasks such as infiltrating a local gang or attempting to satisfy a grumpy house wife.

    Everything about the game feels like it was crafted with a lot of passion by a team with a strong, united, vision. The gameplay and gravity manipulation feels absolutely amazing, there is nothing quite like it. The story has a lot of memorable characters that will have you smiling or gleefully scouring from the story's silly moments to the incredibly stubborn antagonists. Coming from someone that has played his fair share of games I must say Gravity Rush is a very unique experience and I couldn't be more happy I tried it. In my mind this is a must play for any one with a PS4 of Vita.    … Expand

    It's an original IP by Sony's Japan Studio with a cute teenage heroine who can manipulate gravity at her will (well, actually her cat companion does that for her, but who cares?). The game is an open world with missions and side quests, set in a map consisting of 3 airborne "cities" connected with train rails while zeppelins roam free. The graphics are cel-shaded, and pretty nice. The story is good, too, and is presented as a comic book, with strips of frames which can be rotated a bit while tilting the Dualshock 4. Gameplay is robust but a bit constrained due to either a few strange design choices or the limitations of its original platform, the PS Vita. But the shifts of gravity are what will remain etched in your memory forever. You can freely reset the gravity at any point so that up is down, or left is down, and so on.

    On PS4 the game has been remastered by specialists Bluepoint Studio and runs at 60 fps with 1080p resolution, while the Vita version run at 30 fps with a low resolution. It also contains the 3 DLCs in the package for free. Nice!

    My score represents the game's originality and quality, despite some minor gripes of mine. Buy either the remaster on PS4 or the PS Vita version and you won't regret it. There is also a sequel on PS4. Let's hope this series continues even after Gravity Rush 2.    … Expand

    The main reason to own PlayStation is because of Japan Studio and it's games that Sony killed when they remade it for Team Astro. Gravity Rush will always be the best game that came out on PlayStation

    What a unique game for the PS Vita!!! As well as an amazing PS4 port!! It has an awesome concept of a heroine having gravity powers and the mechanics that work in gameplay. I just wish we could get even more Gravity Rush games since it's criminally underrated nowadays. If you haven't played the vita version but are curious enough, go out and buy it!!!

    To start, yes, the remaster could have been better, in terms of improving visual aesthetics. However, for anyone who has not played the original Vita version, this is a great buy. Solid 60 FPS makes the game combat much less tedious in terms of timing and learning enemy patterns, and the combat in general has been tweaked to better improve on the Vita's bothersome touchscreen combat.

It is much nicer than expected although you can see some limitations, I’m wondering if it is because it was a vita game originally.

    I guess those who enjoy awesome graphics might feel a bit disappointed, seeing that in terms of graphics, it is obvious the game is not a ps4 native. Said that, artistically speaking the game is fantastic, the design of both the areas and characters is great, although maybe could have been a bit better in terms of monsters, but still good. Story is decent, I would not say it is the strongest feature of the game but it is decent, my main criticism comes from the fact that the story poses a lot of questions but it doesn’t answer a lot, giving me a feeling that the story is left kind of unfinished. Good thing about this is that there is good foundations for an awesome story in gravity rush 2, a lot of mysteries will get solved I guess. Also, the main character is a bit too naive and light hearted maybe for my liking, but again, I guess it makes sense considering the game is about her not remembering anything about her past (not a spoiler really, because you learn about this in like the first minute of the game). Finally, I’d say the gameplay is the real strong point of this game, it is really fun to play and the gravity powers are awesome to play with. It gives you a freedom to explore the areas that is not very usual in this kind of games. Combat is smooth and works well and it is fast paced, I’d just summarise it by saying it is really nice and fun to play. You’ll need a bit of time to get used to the powers but once you do, you’ll realise the controls are really good and that makes you feel you’re in real control of the character.

    Summarising guys, this game is quite good. I’d call it a “decaf” sandbox as there aren’t as many things to do and the map is kind of small compared to other games. That is not necessarily bad, as in my case, after playing MGSV, I wanted something a bit less massive but it might be a let-down for some people. Just to give you an idea, you can probably get platinum (easy one) in 25 hours or so. Still I think it is a really good game for a really good price, really good fun and lets you wanting for more. If you like this kind of game I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.    … Expand

    This makeover of the 2012 original is worth playing, even for current owners of this essential Vita release. In spite of the somewhat simple gameplay, manipulating gravity is quite liberating.
