Do I have to play the previous games to understand the plot? I understand the last 3 games were a trilogy.

Also, is the RPG a full-fledged RPG with battles and stuff?

I think this is a prequel to the trilogy, so it explains what happened before it.

Seems classic Layton so far. This and Phoenix Wright are some of the best series on any platform of the current generation, if the 3DS can keep getting handheld titles of this quality then it won't have a problem with the Vita.

I'm just glad GBATemp will stop hyping another Layton Game...

What's wrong with a small group of people getting hyped over Layton?
Have you seen the hype over Pokemon and Ace Attorney?

Yes and I can't wait for the Next Pokemon and Ace Attorney game(s) to shut them up for a while as well.

Don't take any of my Opinions personal but I hate seeing an Overly Popular game be hyped for whatever reason.

I take it the header of this just happens to be corrupt and the CRC matches the XXX release?

Layton gets no-where near as much hype as it deserves, considering how much fervour there is over teen games like the latest Gears of War or whatever.

Well if you took a look at a few DS releases before Layton all people would say is "IT'S NOT LAYTON, I WANT LAYTON". I'm sure Chanser would agree that it's very annoying for people to go to a release thread of one game to cry about another one.

I think if you look at the ratio of critcal acclaim to sales there no way you can describe this series as "over popular"

All I am looking at this in disbelief over is that the London Life component of the game...
...won't even be available on any version available IN London.

Capcom, are you losing the plot about what people want where?

The header of the XXXX release was fine, so I would have a hard time seeing the header here being corrupt (which it isn't). Besides that though, yes, the data is completely identical between this release and the XXXX release that was going around before it.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Damn Frontier is offering 5Gbps now lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I honestly can't recommend any of the big 3 this years I'd say buy a rog ally z1 if we're being honest
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Honestly after the PS3 and 360 I just went full PC
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    nintendo needs to up their game soon
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah even bt support for Xbox one controllers are just as easy as pairing
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    considering the steamdeck can emulate the switch (yikes) theres almost 0 reason to buy the switch apart from playing online and using cartridges
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Xinput and 360 dongles were a driver nightmare
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I remember having to manually put in drivers and what not
