Quick question! Will this be on the PS Store or do I need a hard disc? I'm pretty sure PS4 isn't region locked so I should be able to get this but I want to know if I need to get it hard or digital.

It’ll probably be available on the Japanese PS Store, but not the American/European/Australian etc ones.
You’ll need a hard disk unless you have a JP PS Store account.

Wow, that was fast. Thanks!

i hope this game is good but the gameplay shown in the trailer looks a bit. awkward

this game will feature the long-awaited return of the Kamen Rider shadow villain group, Foundation X.

I hope after this game, people can stop (or at least be less frequently) asking for Foundation X to make reappearances!

Also, the Touto government is probably going to sue Foundation X for stealing their Guardian designs!

PSE likely will not be released in SEA.

Bummer, some of the promotional material seemed to suggest that it would, and a few articles online made the same suggestion.

Quite the contrary on Foundation X, I've been wanting them back in the canon proper since Heisei Gen Final showed they were still in operation. Gimme more Foundation X.

Which are you referring to?

I found this article on IGN:
https://sea.ign.com/kamen-rider-memo...ailable-in-sea

I remember that article because it's quite clear they unfortunately misunderstood a few things -- the way it's worded, it seems to think that the Premium Sound Edition is a pre-order bonus; and thinks the actual pre-order bonus is an early purchase bonus. I wouldn't treat this as any proof of anything.

Zero-Two is in Memory of Heroez!

I suppose this also means we can expect to be able to play as CycloneJokerXtreme, since both Zero-Two and Tajador are in.

i think PuToTyra is officially considered OOO's super form (despite the whole Everything about it) so unless i missed it, then Zero-Two is maybe pointing towards it and CJX

A super form precedes a final form which precedes an optional extra final form. People generally don't base their opinions on what's considered official or these debates wouldn't happen. I believe that FangJoker and Tajadol are super forms, CycloneJoker Xtreme and Putotyra are final forms and CycloneJoker Gold Xtreme and Super Tatoba are extra final forms.

In the Battride War series, there are even different upgrade paths depending on the "strongest form". For example, the final form, Fourze Cosmic States upgrades to the extra final form, Meteor Fusion States, whereas the weaker Double Rocket States upgrades to the extra EXTRA final form, Meteor Nadeshiko Fusion States. So while Double Rocket is weaker than Cosmic, its potential for growth is superior.

Zero Two's appearance means this game must occur after Zero One Episode 40 and since Zea's AI is now contained in the Zero Two Driver Unit then I guess that means Zea is eventually going to get a new satellite to provide animal models for Zero One.

Yeah, PutoTyra's always been considered the official Final Form and so it and Xtreme would be under that umbrella whenever they're used.

There's no real break between Zero-Two's debut and the Ark-One thing so if they're being strictly canon with the game here, clearly it won't be long now till Aruto breaks free and gets his redemption or yadda yadda in the show. Took him a bit too long though.

Sucks for Zero Two to debut so late only to get upstaged 2 episodes later by Ark One. You-know-what really screwed with the narrative. At least the game is a consolation.

Do you think Zero Two will be a separate playable character like Joker or will Aruto be able to jump straight from One to Two?

narrative wise, tajadol is the final form, but marketing wise, putotyra is the final form. it's complicated

also those comments on zero one are... worrying, from someone who hasnt watched any of it

It's been one episode, it's not exactly an overdone arc (haha) yet, especially with how the show's still developing it. Some people like it, some people don't.

Since no-ones mentioning it, they’ve announced that the theme song for the game will have the same artist, lyricist and composer from W. Someone will probably yay that, but for me, the only yay is with the composer, since SHUHEI is the GOAT when it comes to Rider soundtracks.

We have a 16-minute demo of Memory of Heroez. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L1pLgST75A

Looks pretty good. I hope it's a decently long game.

A lot of the older Kamen Rider belt scroll action games on DS and 3DS were surprisingly short.

it looks better than the initial trailer did, only real complaint i have is that the walk animation during fights looks REALLY silly

but the sabertooth fight was pretty good! i think this basically confirms every major dopant aside from taboo, which is giving me hope that every greeed will show up too. i don't know anything about zero-one's villains to say if they'll show up, though

I don't think this is going be be the greatest game ever or anything, but it definitely looks like a fun time. Really excited to finally get a Rider game in English that isn't a bad fighting game. :D

For a game that's trying to be like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta with fast paced combo action, the combat seems a bit sluggish.

Combat does look a little slow for a combo game, but I like some of the things you can do with form-swapping mid-fight. Interrupting attack patterns and reflecting attacks back depending on the form your in isn't something I expected to just be a natural ability in a game like this.

That was awesome! I was surprised to see how situational the form changes are in combat as well as traversal with CycloneMetal being very useful for reflecting heavy attacks. Very excited.

I rather liked what I saw! I think I'm gonna have a lotta fun streaming this!

I just hope my favorite combos(LunaJoker and Sagozo) don't end up being late game, lol.

Give me Fang/Trigger!

This looks fantastic!! Excited to get my pre-order in :D

That was the Premium Sound Edition we were seeing footage of, right? Given there's remixes of W's OST in there and even a remix of WBX

While I'm not 100% certain on this, it's likely those songs are in the normal game, if the Super Robot Wars series is anything to go by.

See, remixes and instrumentals cost alot less than just straight up licensing the songs themselves, which is why SRW has remixes in all of its games, and they themselves have sold "Premium Editions" with the original songs intact.

So the Premium version of Memory of Heroes will likely just outright include the original vocal songs used in the shows.

So I noticed no one posted it but we've got Zero-One gameplay video, sadly being the new rider and not a big old timer, he's a bit more limited in his forms, but hey they remembered Flying Falcon existed!

Not only that but we have an OOO Combat Gameplay video that you're going to want to stick to the end for.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9ih7BNDxzo

Whoaaaa that twist at the end of OOO gameplay! Color me intrigued...

In terms of the gameplay though, yeah, this pretty much confirms that I thought earlier; That this game has a pretty limited budget.

Probably the main reason why Fourze wasn't included, and also why OOO seems to be restricted to Full Combos+Tatoba only. It's a shame, but understandable from a design standpoint.

THEY’RE SEEIOUSLY DOING THAT?! :O

That exceeds, like, ANY expectations I had for the form changes in this game!!! Oooh boy I’m way too excited now.

Maybe we'll get Fang/Trigger for W and Sparkling Giraffe for Zero One?

This form actually exists as concept art and the CSM OOO Driver release, it's insane that they picked the coolest looking one too

Quick question: Part 2! Do I need to import the game from a specific area to get English subs or can I just change it in the settings? I've seen conflicting information about this.

Glad to see Flying Falcon get some love as well, considering Jin and Thouzer prevented Zero One from using it in any meaningful capacity, despite being the first form change and second in the show.

Looks like once you unlock the final form, you can access it just like a basic form change which is broken as hell! Unless the enemies level up with you. However, it's more faithful to the show since most Riders tend to use the final form for everything after they obtain it even when a lesser form would be sufficient.

The Asia release specifically has English subtitles.
