Deception IV: Blood Ties Receives Official Launch Date
Tecmo Koei announced today that the upcoming title Deception IV: Blood Ties will launch in North America on March 25 and in Europe on March 28 2014 for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and the PlayStation Vita handheld entertainment system.
In this imaginative follow up to the classic Tecmo title ‘Tecmo’s Deception’, first released in 1996 on the PlayStation, players get a taste of what it’s like to play on the side of evil. Much like its predecessors, Deception IV: Blood Ties is a strategy-focused action game revolving around a deceitful main character known as the Devil’s daughter who, assisted by three Demons, defeats her foes through trickery.
Deception IV: Blood Ties follows the story of Laegrinna, an animated fragment of an imprisoned Devil’s soul, as she battles her enemies by mischievously luring them into strategically placed traps. From rolling boulders and spiked walls to spring boards, iron maidens, human cannons, falling bathtubs and banana peels, the player can choose from a multitude of dramatic, sadistic, and comical traps in order to finish off an enemy.
However, simply setting traps is not enough, as they need to be activated in turn. Timing also plays an important role, as an untimely activation could result in Laegrinna falling into her own trap or allowing her rivals to catch her. Depending on the manner in which an enemy is killed or captured, the Devil’s three servants - Veruza, Caelea and Lilia (each representing a different aspect of cruelty: Sadistic Torment, Elaborate Death and Humiliating Demise) - reward points and upgraded traps.
Those playing the PlayStation 3 version of Deception IV: Blood Ties will be able to upload their combos online or challenge other players to beat their highest-scoring, funniest, or most sadistic combos.
The PlayStation Vita version boasts additional features, like Cross Play and Cross Saves between PS3/ PSVITA and touch-screen functions to select and activate traps.
Deception IV: Blood Ties is produced by the creator of Fatal Frame, Keisuke Kikuchi and developed by Tecmo Koei. The franchise as a whole has sold more than 800,000 copies globally. For more news and information on Deception IV: Blood Ties please visit deception4.com.

Want to get this, but really not sure which version I want. Not sure I am keen enough to get both. Hmm...Comment

Really interesting premise, I've never even heard of this series before. A lot of stuff I want is dropping late Feb and March though, so I might hold off on day 1.
I think I'll be going for PS3 with this one.Comment

Think I'll go PS3. Shame more publishers aren't doing cross buy.Comment

Rab's review of Trapt is pretty damning but is probably as good a primer as you could ask for in 5 minutes.

PS3 version can upload videos of your ultra violent trap combos to Youtube.Comment

If Amazon are to be believed, the rather nice Japanese box art remains relatively intact!

Hooray!
No idea if this is going to be any good or not but I remain optimistic.Comment

Let's hope this is good. What were the first three titles like?Comment

Seeing as all I want to play lately is obscure Japanese vita games...I just preordered this.Comment

I've played trapt a while back, it wasn't too bad nothing amazing but fun. I didn't get too far having gotten stuck I think or maybe could be that it was a rental...
Seems the PS3 box will get a redesign possibly starting with this, at least in the US anyway. I quite like it but I honestly don't know of many more titles I want on the PS3 so a little disappointed this didn't come into effect earlier.
