Ayyyy.

So was Carlos actually missing an arm in the trailer, or was it just hidden?

>>135492840
I think he cutted off his hand.
Source is my butthole and my intuition.

>>135492840
Nah, he has his arm.

His left hand is hidden, though. Maybe he cut it off to null the memory loss thing

>the game will have randomized outcomes
Wonder how this is gonna work.

>>135492589
Shit game, shit thread.

>Visual novels
Consider suicide.

>>135492908
>>135492958
Hold it i just realised, if he cutted off his hand wouldn't it be the one with the watch?
Would Zero allow it?

How much PC-version will costs?

>>135493048

I wonder if the 90 minutes thing will be an actual real time thing.

Like you have 90 minutes to do the story fragment or you get game over and need to do it again. Don't know.

>>135493134
Only the Decision segment is going to be timed I think.

>>135493096
$0

>>135493502
Then it seems like it will be the last Uchikoshi game. Consoles just can't appreciate creator enough.

>I want to fuck fags general

>>135493048
zero willl remember when you reset/save scum and call you out on it, possibly taunting you.

Calling it now.

May 28th 999

June 14th VLR

Duh.

>>135492820
Hopefully mods for it come through and polish it up compared to what it's looking like now (or the PC version does that to begin with).

Not that it currently looks bad, just something more.

>>135494351
This whole thing with the drug making you forget everything that has happened seems specifically directed to fuck with (You)/?/Blick Winkel.
Zero has to know that you are there, overwatching everything from the perspective of the 3 MCs.

>>135494351
Hopefully they go full circle with the bootstrap idea and implement it similar to Dangaronpa's (only example that comes to mind) "fake" endings.

For instance, in DR1 you can call somebody out and get a complete, unique ending which abruptly ends the story and proceeds on a "what if" universe. But instead of getting a game over or "ending" you instantly snap back to when you made the original decision seamlessly.

The bracelet is most likely the thing administering the drug to make people lose their memories, so Carlos chopped off his hand to avoid that

/v/ is literally killing us, who knew.

Hopefully we can switch over to this general primarily.

The only problem being exposure.

>>135496492
But would Zero be okay with that?
What's the point of the bracelets if they can just remove them by cutting off their own hands?
Wouldn't their be some kind of penalty to ensure they don't do just that?
Or maybe it's actually one of the bad endings where Carlos "say screw it" and do it anyway.

>>135497752
Did you ever watch SAW?

What do you guys think about the seven endings?

>>135497869
Actually no.
But i get the "would you cut your own hands off to get the watch off?"
My problem is the memory erasing drug.
If they're in the bracelets would zero wants the players to remove them?
Or does he not care if they still remember things?

>>135497752
>What's the point of the bracelets if they can just remove them by cutting off their own hands?
Then everyone could have just done that in the previous games

>>135498102
Well, in the first SAW movie, two dudes had to cut off one of their feet to remove the shackles and escape a bathroom before the time ran out and killed them.
Sure, they had to do it with a handsaw instead of a swift chopping, but the thought was the same.

>>135498050
That's a good number.
7 real endings + who knows how many bad ends/game over.

>>135498050
Par for the course but I wish it reverted back to the same if not smaller narrative branches of 999.

It gets quite unwieldy to manage information across multiple branches without getting conflicting information yourself. More so if you jump around constantly instead of backtracking to the last branch.

>>135498226
Guess i'll marathon the Saw movies even though i already know some spoilers.

>>135498336
>I wish it reverted back to the same if not smaller narrative branches of 999.
Why would you want a less ambitious narrative?

>>135498517
That wouldn't make it less ambitious, just more "linear" (which it still is with or without the branches).

The only thing that changes is the delivery.

Is he gonna kill Q /zeg/?

STOP BULLSHITTING ME, YOU DAMN BRAT.

>>135498509
They're gorefests I can't stomach anymore, but they're still death games.
SAW 5 and 6 seem to be a little related to ZTD format about a group of people who must survive/kill each other and moral choices.

>>135498623
Nice.

>>135498584
I think in the context of Zero Escape, more linear is less ambitious.
What is the main selling point of Uchikoshi's stories if it's not complex storylines across multiple routes/timelines/dimensions that all end up making sense in the end?
You can't just ask him to back down and give you something linear where the player has no choices to make and doesn't feel personally involved in the story.

>>135498929
For me, and fortunately this is only in retrospect, Phi's path in VLR was obnoxious.

It had 4 or 5 locks, so just when you thought you could proceed you halted again and had to jump elsewhere. Now in this new jump hopefully you remember everything that happened then ride it out hoping you get an unlock. After getting said unlock, jump back into the route and once again hope you remember everything that's going on.

This is the casual and probably intended way, and rewards(?) the player with multiple dead end scenes which can actually be missed if you never hit a lock. It does well to drive the narrative home, sure, but it's quite overwhelming and tedious.

>>135499187
Nah, I think the locks were done good. It's much better to come back later with new info and see the timeline proceed.

And of course Phi's route had the most locks. You need every other ending for it.

>>135499465
If you can recall the timeline up to that point.

Without replaying the entire thing you're at the mercy of the flowchart's brief descriptions.

>>135499585
If you have the memory of a goldfish you can still replay the entire route from the start and fast forward through pretty quick.

Reminder this was made by the frogposter from /v/ and we should stick to /v/

>>135499764
Different strokes I guess. I just believe a single complete route is a lot more flesh out if you're not constantly jumping in and out of it.

I wonder what Akane originally had in mind for the 9th Man if "her getting a fever right after he died = timeline deviation".

>>135500138
I think you can also appreciate the entierty of the flowchart as a single beautiful thing, rather than just a collection of routes.
You know, termites nest and all that.

>>135498119
You mean what Sigma did in Quark's ending?

>>135497752
I guess if he wanted to Zero could just hold the other participants hostage by saying that if someone removes the bracelet then everyone else still wearing one gets a lethal injection. That would make the participants hesitant of doing so and would make them want to stop others who are trying to.

Uchiiiiiiiiiii ;_;

We should have revived /havng/ instead.

>>135503668
Yeah

>ZTD this summer
>AA6 this summer in Japan, probably fall for the West
>What used to be Cing is coming up with a new game featuring NotKyle
It will probably be a good time when the games actually releases.

REMINDER TO LET THIS TH READ DIE

ONLY A "VNS ARE NOT GAMES"FAG WANTS THESE THREADS ALIVE

>>135503014
I really hope he delivers a satisfying conclusion.

>>135498509
Just finished the first movie.
And you guys say Akane is evil.
Well, even knowing the twist it was still nice.

Never make this general again.
