Steins;Gate on PS3 and Vita in English

>>118396168
I don't care that I already have the PC version, I'm getting this too, so maybe one day we'll be able to get C;H Noah and R;N Elite.

>>118396168
How unexpected, but there's no actual link to where PQube announced it.
Where's the link?

>>118396168
Cool, guess I'll pick it up on Vita since I've been meaning to check it out.

how come the characters in steins gate wear the same clothes everyday when they aren't even uniforms

No English Xbox 360 version?

>>118396593
Because they spend all their money on figurines, doujins, and other otakus things

>>118396609
Xbox a shit.

>>118396593
because visual novels don't have that kind of budget

>>118396593
You could say that to basically every other anime character in existence

Pro tip; it's easier for the people making the manga/anime

>>118396609
Implying is true, why the hell there is no Xbox version?
When it was first released it was even a time exclusive.

VNs on consoles are so relaxing

Steins;Gate is only getting this because of how popular it is with casuals.

>>118396609
Xbox versions aren't even that common in Japan, bozo.

>>118396168
can someone explaint to me what would the game be about ? how is this entended to be played..?

>>118396754
Because the weeb console in the west is the PS3/Vita. The Vita's a great handheld for VNs.

>>118396754
Because the PSP became the defacto console for visual novels in Japan.

Then the Vita.

>>118396609
>>118396754
likely because nips don't buy xbox

>>118396820
But Chaos;Child is Xbone exclusive

>>118396869
Not for long

>>118396869
And it will unfortunately flop.

>>118396869
For a year at most.

Anyone have the PQube twitter post where they talk about comfy VN reading?

Also, let's hope this brings over those Fate Vita VNs.

>>118396888
PC when?

>>118396922
Never. Last SciADV game on PC was Steins;Gate.

>>118396922
Never.

>>118396922
Make a petition.

;^)

So how long until Tanaka Romeo's VNs get localized?

>>118396788
Well, and I longed to see it on my gamertag.
Better PS3 or Vita? There's not that much difference in price.

>>118397083
Vita's comfier.

>>118396168
>playing an all ages VN.
>ever.

>>118397019
I have futile hope, but not time to waste

>>118397083
I may just get both to support things.

>[REDACTED] - (86+20)/321
We're over 100.

>>118396784
The VN came first you fucking casual

>>118397249
In fact, I believe it's just about 1/3 translated.

Also, who's shitty idea was it to remove the B ending from Noah?

Was the PC version originally a porn game?

>>118397391
No

>>118396168
Not Chaos;Head first?

>>118397402
Okay, thanks.

>>118396913

>>118397249
Will Reading Steiner be receiving shekels for the console release of S;G?

How many chapters does it have?

>>118397410
Why would they? Chaos;Head isn't translated yet, Steins;Gate has been for a while.

>>118397470
Nope. We don't get royalties, the translation is 5pb's to do what they want with it. First I'm hearing of this too, their marketing sure leaves much to be desired.

>>118397104
I meant consoles.
Anyway it will show up on the psn id

>>118397529
Maybe you should try to contact PQube to change Christina to Cristina, etc.

>>118397557
Nah, wouldn't want any inconsistencies. Even if JAST fucked up a few of the last-minute changes I made like the name of Kurisu's university and the phone song translations.

>>118397613
What if they change things on their own volition?

>>118397653
Then I'll be ass-frustrated but have no power over it.

>>118397529
>First I'm hearing of this too, their marketing sure leaves much to be desired.
pqube has been plastering blatant Steins;Gate jokes all over their twitter and FB account for a while now.

>>118397678
Will you try to reach them for Chaos;Head Noah?

>>118397736
[REDACTED] has a few possible routes right now, we'll see what happens.

>>118397613
>like the name of Kurisu's university
It's not Victor Qondria?

>>118396168
Well, ok.
They should make a Android and IOS version too.

>>118397790
It's Victor Chondria.

>>118396963
That robot one wasn't?

>>118397864
Heh, we wish.

>>118397838
VNs on android literally never

>>118397864
It never came to PC.

>>118397887
>>118397917
Fuck, I never realized

Well whatever, the anime was shit anyway.

>>118397986
That's because it was a poor adaptation.

>>118398020
>>118398020
nah, when the show was airing I remember reading how disappointed Japan in general was with the VN itself. It was semi-entertaining, but not really that good.

>>118398254
The VN flopped due to piss-poor pacing, the story was fine. The anime was just even shittier.

>>118398254
>trying to tell Reading Steiner himself that the R;N VN wasn't good

assuming that's him

it's something he would've said anyway

plus Elite fixed most of its problems

Robotics;Notes is good

>>118398254
>>118398325
The VN got a rerelease for Vita that fixed the pacing too, so if we get that version we'll be fine.

>>118396168

If more VNs get released in the UK and the West in general I might just have to get myself a Vita.

>>118398401
The Vita is already a pretty good handheld from an /a/ perspective.

C;H Noah when?

>>118396168
I wonder if this will have any of the extra features added to the PC version? (Song lyrics, I'm looking at you)

>>118398457
Probably not, those actually required engine modifications and assets exclusive to JAST.

>>118396168
Looks like Kurisu is about to drop the beat.

>Steins;Gate Vita opening isn't Uchuu Engineer

Why, oh why.

>>118398588
What is it?

>>118398620
Nonlinear Geniac.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc5GyIpzaS4

>>118398588
Does Uchuu Engineer at least come up in the cycle of movies when idling on the title screen?

>>118396820
>>118396781
>>118396897
Do you guys have any idea what you're talking about? Steins;Gate was released as an Xbox 360 exclusive in 2009. It only got a PS3 port in 2012, though the PC port came out in 2010 and PSP/iOS ports in 2011.

Why am I not tired of buying S;G stuff yet?

>>118398746
Yes, though the 360 at least had a fanbase when S;G came out and it did sell more on PSP than anything else I believe. Japan loves their portables.

>>118398714
What I really wish was that it had received a new and exclusive opening.

Since that wasn't the case, I'd have prefered the PSP one over the PS3 opening.

>>118396168
/a/ doesn't care, it's full of anime only fags.

>>118398857
Have you read this thread?

>>118398857
I think this thread proves otherwise.

>>118398891
>>118398893
>25 posters
I'm a supporter of this whole thing, but we do have to keep things in perspective.

>>118396168
Fuck I wish the 3DS would get VNs.
Who the fuck uses the inferior in every way vita anyway?

>>118398929
That's enough posters.

Some shows each season get like 8 posters.

>>118398937
I have both and Vita is infinitely better for VNs. Please go to /v/ for console war bullshit.

>>118398937
>wanting to scale Huke's art to 240p
why

Also, what would they do with the second screen?

>>118398937
Vita's better for weebshit.

>>118399000
They don't have to use it. Also
>implying I don't have an XL

>>118398929
Any other Steins;Gate thread is filled with secondaries, this one might be an exception. Probably because of the image, and a lot of the fanbase couldn't even recognize the characters in the original art style.

>>118398937
There's Ace Attourney. In Japan there's more, like Island Days.

I'm a Nintendo fanboy and honestly, the Vita is a godly VN machine. The 3DS has a much lower resolution which makes it worse for this type of thing.

>>118396168
Do any of you think there's a possibility of a localization for the Vita remake of Fate/Stay Night now? That's the other big VN I want on my Vita without moonrunes.

>>118398929
I'm posting just to let you know that thread popularity isn't directly correlated with unique IPs.

I am a unique poster and this is my first post in this thread.

>>118399041
XL is still 240p.

This has to be bait.

>>118399041
XL has even worse DPI, you know.

>>118399057
Why should the localization of a 5pb game have any bearing on the localization of a Type-MOON/Kadokawa game?

>>118399055
Yeah, 3DS is a reading nightmare.
If the text is too small, it becomes illegible unless you have an XL, and still hard to read

>>118399145
Isn't this the first true VN to get localized on the Vita?

Could open the door for a new age.

>>118399092
>>118399100
>>118399150
Ayy, I have really good eyesight anyway so it doesn't bother me at all.

>>118399204
>>Isn't this the first true VN to get localized on the Vita?
XBLAZE Code Embryo came first

>>118399204
XBlaze came first, but yeah, I think Steins;Gate will be the first big one.

>>118399204
There was XBlaze: Code Embryo, but that's not a very shining example.

>>118399221
I'm playing through Ace Attorney Trilogy right now, and there's something to be said for the 3D effect. However, it works better for art which is supposed to be pixelated in the first place.

>>118396869
Because Microsoft money hatted them for it.

>>118399265
>3D effect

fuck, now I want a R;N Elite port to 3DS.

Though the models would probably be worse, and there'd be jaggies. Hm.

>>118396906
Do you think they'll bother porting it to PS4 before PS Vita? The latter is where it'll really sell anyway. Maybe they'll release both Vita and PS4 versions at the same time.

or maybe they'll wait to release an improved Chaos;Child Noah on the Vita.

How about last-gen consoles? I don't see any reason for a visual novel like this to require being on a next-gen console.

>>118399507
I think it will be PS3/Vita release, since there is a ton of PS3 in Japan.
Well, they can go PS4/PS3/Vita, I don't see why not.

>>118398714
That's a pretty decent opening

>>118396593
>he doesn't wear the same clothes everyday to keep up his image
full pleb

How do you pronounce huke?

>>118396593
That's the plot of one of the IBM-sponsored Steins;Gate shorts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsPsHMHuXL8

>>118399777
huke

>>118399795
How wet was Kurisu?

>>118399795
I want to lick Kurisu's legs through her sweaty stockings.

>>118399353
Virtue's Last reward looked pretty decent on 3DS, I think they used a lot of anti-aliasing.

>>118397838
Pretty sure it's been on android for a while, just in Japanese of course.

>>118399910
The video cutscenes all looked like shit on 3DS, though. Ghosting everywhere.

>>118400038
There's been a translation patch for the android and iOS versions for quite some time too though they're still in beta.

>>118399910
Alright, then I definitely want a 3DS port of R;N Elite.

How about a Wii U port too while we're at it. The GamePad can serve as the PokéCom, it's a perfect fit.

Come on 5pb, show Nintendo some love.

>>118400133
VLR was built for the 3DS and upscaled for the Vita though. Downscaling usually produces much worse results.

Maybe if it sells well enough they'll localize the spinoff VNs as well.

Committee of Antimatter in a few weeks, too. Fucking pumped.

>>118400133
SciADV characters for Smash Bros.?

The anime is better because it isn't filled with hours of fake science and irrelevant text messages.

>>118400255
Fuck, you just reminded me Nitro+ is working on a crossover fighting game between their heroines and that I'm afraid SciADV girls won't be in it because they hate 5pb now or something.

I'm all aboard for the VNs. Maybe the Date A Live VN next?
Please don't hate

>>118400346
Danganronpa isn't a pure VN, it's an adventure/detective game.

>>118400255
I wanted to create an Okabe mii, but there isn't "shitty stubble" facial hair feature.

>>118400346
Danganronpa isn't a "true VN", it's full of gameplay elements. If you count DR, there's plenty of others too, but those are easy to get a localization, unlike pure-bred VNs.

>>118400347
SciADV girls were already in a 5pb fighting game, they won't be in this one.

>>118400409
Just because they were in one fighting game before doesn't mean I won't be upset they aren't in a different one.

>>118396168
I'm guessing they're using the PC translation, how much money is Reading Steiner getting out of this?

>>118400520
None. Steiner already clarified tons of times that the team won't get any money from future stuff because they sold the script rights itself to 5pb for future releases. Plus they just got a flat rate when S;G came out and that's that.

>>118398937
Me too anon. I mean, besides Ace Attorney and I don't think the Layton games count.
I still love my 3DS though and its games.

>>118400553
At least JAST isn't getting any money either.

>>118400553
That doesn't sounds good, 5pb is going to keep making money out of this, more if they decide to localize the mobile version. I hope they at least sold the scrip for a good price.

>>118400724
It was part of their contract for releasing it in the west. 5pb demanded the script rights for any use in the future, royalty-free. If they didn't agree then we wouldn't have gotten the release.

She pretty much creamed herself.

Is this VN worth a buy if I already watched the anime? I'm assuming that there are multiple endings, so that might warrant a purchase.

>>118400984
>Is this VN worth a buy
Yes, not just for the other ending but also cut scenes

>>118400984
Yes, of course.
The anime was really faithful adaptation to one of the endings, but it missed some shit and references.
Well worth the purchase, in my opinion.

>>118400984
The anime is the condensed version with some censorship, the VN is far superior.

>>118401041
I'd say it's worth it just to revisit the characters and world a second time.

>>118401043
>>118401041
>>118401028
Alright, looks like I finally have an excuse to get a Vita. I just can't get enough of these characters.

>>118399795
Okabe and Daru's plea at 0:54 cracks me up

>>118400765
Sounds like 5pb took advantage for all they were worth. Though I guess they didn't translate the game for money in the first place and the release may not have happened otherwise.

>>118400984
Yes, it's great. I even recommended this to people that have never read a VN before and they love it.

Want some recommendations on games? Danganronpa 1 and 2 have some great characters and it's a pretty good VN/Phoenix Wright game

Thus where the "excuse" comes in, I assume.
