Class of Heroes 2G physical release

[disgaeniac]

I had expected that this would be ready not too long after the month long purchase fest was going on. Thats been 3 months now? Sigh.

You're obviously not very familiar w/ Working Designs then - they took FOREVER to put anything out.  Heh, side-note, I actually won an auction on ebay several years back for some Japanese PS2 games and it turns out Vic - the main dude behind WD - was the seller.  Took him a solid month to get me the games after the auction ended. 

Which games?

One of them was Devil May Cry.  Can't remember what the other was.

I've been lurking on their website once a week for a while now, and I hadn't seen an update yet. Good to finally know what's going on! Think we will get it by the end of November?

I would *guess* that we will...

Ha, yeah, I set an alert on the site for myself with a site monitor because I realized that they were posting updates there about their Kickstarter rewards rather than actually emailing folks who pledged for their KS 

It's helpful to set up something like that for something that is infrequently updated...

Latest update:

10.13.14 UPDATE: Game is still in final Sony QA.  We've completed internal QA on this submitted version without problems.  Manual, packaging, holograms, etc are ready to go, so we're just waiting on approval for the code to make the discs. Keep your fingers crossed - we're almost there!

I was actually just thinking about this during lunch. Thanks for the update!

Nice - here's hoping!

Cheer! Its getting closer.

Yet another update (at least they're communicating ):

10.17.14 UPDATE: The game passed Sony QA today! Next week we will get our manufacturing timeframe.  We can't wait for you to check this out (especially the dual-screen play!).

image looks pretty good!

After a few trials with the approval process that delayed us about six weeks, Class of Heroes 2G for PlayStation 3 is approved!  Manufacture of the manual and coversheet were greenlighted and are already underway.  All materials should be shipped off to Sony Disc Manufacturing early next week.  We're awaiting our slot for the disc pressing and package assembly.  The digital PSN release, which must go through its own QA once the physical is approved has been submitted and is in the approval process now.  In short, we're rushing headlong toward release at last!  It's the final countdown!

The picture below is of the coversheet as it came off the printing press to be checked for color accuracy.

Wasn't it originally supposed to have a blue PS3 banner on the cover? What happened to those anyways? It seems like PS3 games only had the blue banner for a couple months before they went back to black. I'm assuming the blue was supposed to match with PS4 and Vita games, but it sure didn't last long. Mugen Souls Z, Drakengard 3, and Deception IV are a few that had the blue banner, if any of you are wondering what I'm talking about.

I hadn't even paid attention that they switched back to black. Maybe they realized it was confusing, since it made them look like PS4 games at first glance?

Anyone know when they changed the # on the bottom of the spine on the cases for PS3 games (aka the "region"(#)) from "1" to "All" for NA games?

I noticed that all the games I have from 2014 have the All on the spine, 2013 still had the 1 on the spine. I'm assuming it changed when 2014 came around, but I'm not 100% sure.
