Amazing news. I love VNs on my Vita.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Surprising choice?!

However since it has the 1st season cast and KAGARI SHUUSHUI it will be a must buy game.

Also that new guy looks great, hope hes a good guy or is he the antagonist?

 

[thequickandthedead]

But is it a good game?

 

[Omikaru]

Just started watching the anime and I'm really enjoying it, so I'm glad to hear this news!

 

[Zareka]

Woah, what? That's awesome.

I'll grab this on Vita at some point.

 

[blacksark]

Nice, going for the vita version

 

[Kresnik258]

Haha. Well, that fits in with what Anihawk was hinting I guess, PS4/Vita game and not necessarily something you'd expect.

Weird that they's skip the XB1 version though.

Cool. Will buy.

 

[names2hard4you]

Well damn. Hopefully the story replicates the first season in how awesome it was. Season 2 was a wreck. How was the reception for this one in JP?

 

[E_Darkness]

Day 1. Loved season 1 so I'm looking forward to this.

 

[Basileus777]

Cool. Will buy.

I don't expect that there is much of a visual novel audience on the XB1.

 

[Brew124]

Completely in for the Vita version.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Um... visual novel or actual game?

 

[Ventara]

Whoah! I loved the anime! Will definitely pick this up.

 

[Shizuka]

So Psycho-Pass for PS4/Vita is coming west, via NISA:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NCkgLOUyng

Banned site posted the news ahead of embargo.

Edit: Not entirely their fault. All the assets are just sitting on the EU FTP with no labeled embargoes.

And boom goes the dynamite.

Edit: And I was a little too late, lock this please.

 

[Takao]

NISA hasn't published a single XB1 game, right? They might not feel it's worth the effort of buying a publishing license. Besides, 5pb. might publish that version on XBL themselves.

 

[SerTapTap]

Cool to see more VNs localized. Platforms would make perfect sense...if it weren't originally an Xbox One game, if I'm correct? I guess they don't think it's worth it in the west (and they could full well be right)

Oh right, that does make some sense. For a single game they might just not want to bother.

 

[mikezilla2]

big fan of the series and didn't think this would come out at all

glad i was wrong just wish it was getting dubbed

 

[delSai]

Awesome, i'll get it for Vita.

 

[kuroneko0509]

edit: oh thread merged...
surprised they don't bother releasing it on xbone, considering this game is originally exclusive to that

 

[sixteen-bit]

in for PC and Vita

 

[Hubb]

I don't know anything about the series, but the more VNs on Vita the better.

 

[E_Darkness]

Um... visual novel or actual game?

Visual novels are actual games tho

 

[GloriousBagel]

Day 1 <3

 

[Anbec7]

So it's a visual novel with anime style transitions??
Really liked the first seasons the others were hit and miss...
Exited for this

 

[SoraNoKuni]

Day one, I really like Psycho Pass.

 

[Quintin DM]

Awesome news, didn't think we'd ever see this one over here.

 

[Se7enSword]

Season 2 made me hate Psycho-Pass, so i'll pass on it.

 

[Shizuka]

"For those who love their physical disks, NIS America also shared that it will be available in both physical and digital releases. Interestingly, voice acting will be exclusively in Japanese, with localized text."

Interestingly? I don't think there's a single pure VN that has English voices.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

The fuck is going on these days? Shmups? VNs? We're drowning in them, and they're coming to the US. That's cool.

What a time to be alive.

 

[Brazil]

Interestingly? I don't think there's a single pure VN that has English voices.

Games with Japanese-only dubs usually don't get released physically due to SCEA's crap.

 

[Shizuka]

Interestingly? I don't think there's a single pure VN that has English voices.

Hmm, I don't think there is. Both Danganronpa and VLR have gameplay.

 

[Basileus777]

Interestingly? I don't think there's a single pure VN that has English voices.

You'd have to be pretty stupid to dub a VN that wasn't a Zero Escape or Danganronpa type thing that caters to larger audiences. Dubbing an anime licensed visual novel would be crazy.

 

[OnionPowder]

Wasn't this an XB1 exclusive at one point? How is that version skipping US.

 

[JayEH]

Awesome.

Is this set during a specific time in the show or is it an original story?

 

[Shizuka]

Games with Japanese-only dubs usually don't get released physically due to SCEA's crap.

That's old SCEA, the one from five years ago. Aksys released quite a few japanese-only dubs games, including visual novels, since then.

 

[Saphirax]

That's not true at all, at least where VNs are concerned. Steins;Gate, Norn9, Code:Realize only have the Japanese dub and they all have physical editions as well.

A lot of Vita games with only Japanese voices get physical releases as well.

 

[Takao]

That hasn't been true for years.

 

[Zippedpinhead]

Going in blind for vita. Visual novels are awesome

Fair point. They didn't publish a single 360 game either.

 

[BTA]

Oh, nice. Guess I should finally finish watching the first season (or just watch new hour-long episode version- is that the better version?) since I only ever got a few episodes in and this seems worth picking up.

 

[kennyamr]

lol I was like meh but as soon as I clicked on the link and the song started... I'm sold ugh, my dumb fanboyism

I stand corrected.

I blame the Vita for being so uninteresting.

Spoiler

[pbayne]

Nice. Hope the art is good for the game and not just ripped straight from the anime.

 

[jzbluz]

Not super interested in this since I never even finished the first season, but I should support more translated VNs for the Vita.

 

[Zareka]

I dream of the day VNs are big enough that dubbing them is feasible. It'll never, ever happen though.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

Can't find an answer online...
Is this an adaptation of the series? A side-story? Sequel? Do I need prior Psycho Pass knowledge to understand it, or is it more of a "prior knowledge just = understanding fun references" dealio?

 

[Olengie]

need more vns for the vita

 

[Hikami]

Wait so is this a new story or the same one from the anime? I loved the first season of the anime, wouldn't really want to watch/read it again if it's the same thing though.
