Umineko no Naku Koro ni PS3 Version

[Daverost]

I imagine if Aksys had any intent to release Umineko, they'd be doing it solo. The staff is gaga for it, but the higher ups apparently don't see much profit potential or something.

The staff were gaga for it, but the higher ups apparently don't see much profit potential or something.

Fixed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Words like that are actually treated as singular in American English.

[Shizuka]

Oh okay, was.

[LAMV]

I took that to mean, "They used to be gaga for it, but now they aren't."

[Daverost]

*Shrug* Not like I ever used past tense in the first place. I'm sure they're still big fans.

[Shizuka]

Not that it's going to change anything at this point. I'm just bitter about it, that's all.

[Houk]

And I'm just incredibly anal. Sorry about that folks! Back to your regularly scheduled program

Gahhh its killing me, If this just got a limited release I would be so happy

Doubt NISA has the money to do a limited release of a game (they ain't Square Enix)

NISA has done limited releases before. Like look at Ar tonelico III and Hyperdimension Neptunia 1 used to be a limited release. Plus not many companies are supplied with NISA games anyways because of them being niche for most stores which is why it's like Gamestop, Amazon, and maybe a few other places besides the NISA store carry them.

Limited releases do vary since well the company who localizes it wants to at least break even on the localization cost(but of course making some money off of it as well doesn't hurt either). But it seems to me that sometimes companies go with the limited edition only routes and then see if there's a market for a standard release(which was why Hyperdimension Neptunia no longer became a game that was a limited release).

But it's hard to really know exactly how many copies they should make for each game(or at least I would think so) since it depends on how well it's selling.

[Reminus]

I wouldn't mind a limited release of this game. It's indeed possible, since they have had a couple of games that were limited release (like mentioned above, AR Tonelico Qoga and Hyperdimension Neptunia)

Plus as I am aware from what I looked up, the only mention of a patch I find is for the PC version of the game and I see no mention of a PS3 translation. What I did see though, is that people were being told to swap the PC sprites of the characters out for the PS3 version, and that's supposed to suffice for not being able to own the PS3 version.

Limited release, yes, but expected to sell. *Coughs* That aside, is there any real reason to bring the PS3 version when the PC version is available and, apparently, approved of by the creator?

I think a few people have posted why before... Here's what I saw.

- People who don't use their PC for 'gaming' at all.
- there are a lot of people who would much rather enjoy something on their PS3 than PC

Here's other reason I can actually pull out of my head

- The lack of information what to actually buy the PC version of the game
- lack of understanding how to download the game
- The lack of understanding how to patch a game to the language
- this lack of understanding can cause the person to mess up their computer
- What kind of translations are these? Fan? From most games I have played that are fan patches, few fan patches are completely okay for a person to just pick up, put in, and everything is fine and dandy. Most I have seen have messed up the programing of the game itself. This causes problems such as and not limited to- badly wrapped the words, weird text, some paths not being available due to crashing, some things not being even translated at all due to the game crashing, things you can accidentally do to cause the game to mess up, having to save a specific locations because if you don't the game will never load, etc. Granted there are a good amount of games that do things fine but I've always usually see some sort of problem with fan translation patches.

Not every single gamer knows how to easily maneuver into their computer to ensure that a game with a most likely fan patch, doesn't go crashing or even messing up their computer.

I would say convince is a good reason to bring the PS3 version over.

PC mod version is not supported by the creator. The only patch that is is the English patch.
