Umineko no Naku Koro ni PS3 Version

[AsukaNeumaki]

If you guys released the umineko games in America I would buy them no matter how much you guys charge for them but I doubt that sells will be very good considering the fact that there is already a patch that is getting closer and closer to the PS3 version. They even got the textboxes and everything.

...Actually, I think I've changed my mind. = w=

According to the company that brought over Higurashi, there's basically no market for the Umineko games because the creator approved the translation patches. There's no real point to getting the PS3 version when the english version is basically available for free. With creator approval and everything (as I hear it). So... yeah.

Not that it's that big a deal for me, but this reasoning seems kinda weak. The PS3 version features a completely different art style than the PC version, and there are a lot of people (myself included) who would much rather enjoy something on their PS3 than PC, or actually don't use their PC for 'gaming' at all. And with that into account, even if there were a patch for the PS3 version, it would require either a modded console, or a console of a lower firmware. Either way, you can't play online or do anything with the PS Store or anything with the Playstation Network.

So, while the PC version is basically without a market, the PS3 one is not. Well, not for that reason anyway.

It's not available for free unless you're stealing it.

...No comment on that.

Well, Episode 1 is free, since that serves as the demo.

I wonder... if AKSYS and Rising Star co-oped to release Aki-Katana... Then does this mean they they could Co-op with NISA to release Umineko over here?

[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.

[Shizuka]

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

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