Now for the shameless copy and paste of promotional blurb:

PARAPPA SAYS:
“This complete HD remaster of my acclaimed original PlayStation® game features additional alternative audio tracks, dynamic 4K support for PS4™ Pro and DUALSHOCK®4 controller vibration so you can really feel the beat – it’s gonna get rocky!”

It's been on US PSN as a PS1 classic for years, no sign of it over here though. I wouldn't hold out much hope

You can download a demo of this off the store - same one as for the ps1, which given that was all I had back then, scratches the itch this time too!

Ah was that with the NMS refunds?
I had a mediocre experience in them in that I was using my DS4 on my PC, somehow the DS4 can be connected to 2 things at once, so while on my PC playing Rocket League with the DS4 i had managed to turn on and purchase the FFXV deluxe edition for 80 quid, I mean wtf is that about!? Anyway I rang them up, explained I had already bought FFXV (it was release day) and what had happened, they pretty much point blank didn't believe that the DS4 would work on 2 devices at once, but a quick google saw a few others who this had happened to. I had to send them a picture of my physical game and receipt from Amazon, which seemed a crazy request but i did it, anyway in the end they refunded the 79.99 to my PSN account but stated they could not refund it back to my card. Luckily shortly after they did the PS+ for 33 quid deal so ive used most of the credit since then. But yeah, if you accidentally buy something then it's a massive hassle for digital purchases it seems.

To be fair. It was a long long time ago since I played that game. So I'm quite impressed I remember any of it!

Definitely getting this for nostalgia's sake! A remastered Vib Ribbon would also be welcome!

Don't even need to remaster Vib Ribbon, just re-release it as is! :smile:

OMFG That would be awesome. Completed that game and it was tough. One of the best music games I ever played though.
Used to love this game on PS1 and despite it's simplicity it's probably the one I went back to most for the unique hilarious characters and easygoing nature (though it could be challenging).
I'd really like to get this but assuming the core game is the same and they haven't added any new songs (?) it is a very short game (a couple of hours max if you master the songs reasonably quickly), which just isn't value for money even at ~£10.
Due to the short play time I also see it as being a VERY likely PS plus candidate, wouldn't be that surprised if we have it by the end of the year.
Really pleased they remastered it but it's just too short for it's price point by modern standards, they should have combined the first and second games (or even done a trilogy with Um Jammer Lammy) then I would have been all over this....

They've put a metronome on the PS4 controller speaker apparently, to make it much more 'playable' than the PS2 / PS4 version of 2.

I had this game years ago and played the demo on ps4. It is exactly the same. - great game at time but feel they should just give this game for free one month on PS Plus.

...although, I would probably willingly pay £9.59 just for the theme

Going to wait for reviews on this one. Love a bit of nostalgia, but the PS2-PS4 rerelease of Parappa 2 was unplayable
