Finally a platform announcement!

5pb. says goodbye to XBOXONE.

Dio · Sep 19, 2015

This remake is old news, but we didn't know what platform it was on.

YU-NO is a revered classic, and deserves to get a remake (let's hope it's not a bad one, though.)

Bebpo · Sep 19, 2015

Woah, pretty crazy seeing a Sega Saturn game getting remade 16 years later.

Heard good things about this back in the day.

Requeim · Sep 19, 2015

Doubtful that we will ever have the chance to play this in english, but i can't wait to hear the soundtrack.

Taruranto · Sep 19, 2015

Fuck YU-NO! The second half was shit. Also

giant incest.

Never played the game, but the soundtrack is incredible.It's like being in FM heaven.

That's all FM/PSG, even the drums/808 conga.

Looks like Ar Tonelico's artist. What is this VN about anyway?

sensui-tomo · Sep 19, 2015

Designs looks like shit compared to the original (which basically was basic anime back then).. Hope the OST stays the same.

I wonder how much they're going to change considering the creator has passed away and they seem to want to modernize the game for a new audience. There's quite a bit of iffy taboo content story-wise, but that aside, I hope they don't do what C's Ware did with Desire, adding a super happy "good ending" to the story which defeats the purpose of the scenario's message to begin with.

Deft Beck · Sep 19, 2015

Now, if only we got the game in English.

yeah one route in particular is gonna be fun to see how they change it up

That step mom route... i never finished the game, backlog got huge

Jazz573 · Sep 19, 2015

Too bad it will probably never get an English version. I might still pick it up anyways. Probably Vita version.

duckroll, I just wanted to ask you, I know Eve was poorly translated, so how's Desire in English?

Lee Chaolan · Sep 19, 2015

Holy shit, I have the original Saturn game. Bought an import bundle on eBay years ago and this was included.

Don't think I ever played it either. xD

Walpurgis · Sep 19, 2015

Where is the trailer?

I said the same thing.

There's a great HG101 article on it. Kind of NSFW, though.

Same artist as Atelier and Ar Tonelico series, Ryou Nagi.

Great art, but that first character looks straight like one of the Ar Tonelico characters I just forgot the name. Protagonist of one of the games.

Can't really say for certain since I played these games so many years ago, but I recall that the English versions of Desire and Eve Burst Error both had the same translation tone and it was very liberal and somewhat offputting sometimes.

Is it still good enough that it would be at least somewhat enjoyable?

If you can survive Eve Burst Error, you can probably survive Desire. The new ending they added for it in the Complete Edition is a huge slap in the face of the intent of the original story though.

Yeah, I read the topic. I'm just saying that that particular character looks exactly like one of the Ar Tonelico characters.

Visual Novels have been a thing since the PC-98 days? god damn.............

Yes. The earliest VNs in VNDB are from 1983. The term "Visual Novel" was coined by eroge dev Leaf, in 1996 with their Leaf Visual Novel Series. In Japan the term Adventure game is usually used. VN refers to something very specific in Japan, but I'm not sure how they define VNs differently.

As for the PC-98, VNs probably make up a large portion of the library. There's quite a few RPGs, but many of those also are VNs.

Guymelef · Sep 19, 2015

Today I have remembered why didn't play YU-NO in the past.
Anybody had this problem with text being cut on the right side?

Sumio Mondo · Sep 19, 2015

Will we get this? Always been interested in the original creator's work and Umemoto's soundtracks were all ace.

ranmafan · Sep 19, 2015

Glad to see more info finally being revealed. Looking forward to this remake I really need to play through my Saturn copy sometime. Always meant to get to it but never did.

Moronwind · Sep 19, 2015

I think I'm gonna prefer the look of the old game. Visual novels in general tend to have pretty poor art (and YU-NO is no exception), but the really old ones that came out before the advent of high color displays had that high res pixel art which almost made up for it.

Video in the OP was made private =( Was it a trailer of the remake?

Jack Videogames · Sep 19, 2015

Was this game originally an eroge? Just curious.

Perhaps the relative success of Steins; Gate will make an English release possible?

Shameful confession : I played Desire 10 years ago... and I liked the new ending back then.

The game was such an emotional downward spiral, starting with the straightfoward Al route, the... urgh Makoto route, and the last... route pretty much just leaves you completely drained and emotionally wrecked by the end of the game, that I liked the vague-trippy happy ending of it.

Looking back, it was a huge cop-out that was a disservice to the plot of Desire, but I definitely remember smiling at that new ending.

Yes. The original had literally a panty shot almost in every CG.

Honestly, YU-NO was the game that turned me off from VN.

pje122 · Sep 19, 2015

Played through this about 2 years ago. It's great. The music is damn good, too.
