Steve, the dog with no powers that we let hang out with us all for some reason
Speaking of ADVs (which I tend to follow exclusively for non-hentai oriented games like Ace Attorney), recently I played the Katawa Shoujo demo, and oddly enough the main character is enjoyable to follow. And while I can't say the same for other characters (Misha), I like the atmosphere of the game, the writing is a plus as well for characters like Tezuka and Kenji, I got some laughs between scenes.
Now, I wonder how much different would be the game if it was a 3D game, specially when the interpretation of body language during each scene is somehow lost in the MC appreciation. I guess that's part of the cons in ADV gaming. Regardless, greatly impressed by the team-effort coming from some random sketches.

icecream, can Ore no Yome (My Wife) be considered an ADV? As far as I know the game supposed to be in most part composed of mini-games, much more like Dream C Club.

Tell me there's more to these games other than being artistic simulations of dates people with zero social skills will never have.

Considering that not all ADV aren't galge/dating sims, so yes there is more to them. Chaos;Head certainly wasn't one before it was ported to the 360. It was more a week in the life of a crazy delusional otaku shut-in with murders and such going on.ChoklitReign said:

Steins;Gate is a good reference as well in terms of sci-fi elements (Time travel)

Haven't played Steins;Gate yet so it felt weird for me to try and mention it, but yes that is also a good choice. Going to pick it up for the PC when it comes out!bernardobri said:

There will be a workaround within hours of release. I'm pretty sure Nagato or someone will see to that if it comes to such things.zoku88 said:
Plenty of the ones on my list aren't the 'galge' type of ADV. They have their own story, and ending up with a heroine is just a natural consequence of that journey. For example, I wouldn't consider Sharin no Kuni as a game that can be simply summarized as where one goes and hooks up with girls...InfiniteNine said:
Besides, if you want to experience 'artistic simulations of dating people,' that's what LovePlus is for.
Yes, I had pondered about that one for a while, but in the end, the game itself classifies itself as an adventure game, And most of the game is about the story of you living with your wife via dialogue and interaction, though perhaps in a more structured way than a through-flowing story.Chiaroscuro said:
There are mini-game-like activities that you can do with your wife, but they don't seem like Dream C Club where the games are the primary foundation of your interaction with the heroine, which is what makes Dream C Club a simulation game rather than an ADV.
At the Famitsu360 100th Issue Commemoration Event, Cave's Asada Makoto and 5pb's Shikura Chiyomaru held a special called High Spec Machine；Low Spec Man where they talked about various things. During which Asada announced that cave was in the middle of developing an ADV.
Known info:
Shukura also mentioned that 5pb was 'hard at work' creating the next entry into their 'Science ADV' series.
Known info:
- The motif is an '80s~'90s era type of detective story
- Protagonist is a 40-year old male
- Also how due to 'the circumstances of adults it might change a girl'
- Further details will be announced at Cave's 2010 Summer Festival event
Shukura also mentioned that 5pb was 'hard at work' creating the next entry into their 'Science ADV' series.

While this is bumped, I'll just mention that an English version of the first two episodes of Higurashi has just been released on the App Store.
Onikakushi-hen: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/higurashi-when-they-cry-ep1/id383052917?mt=8
Watanagashi-hen: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/higurashi-when-they-cry-ep2/id383054244?mt=8
Until August 15, Onikakushi-hen is free and Watanagashi-hen is $3.99. If you've been loathe to get the MangaGamer PC translation due to its rather high price, now's your chance! It's one of the better-written visual novels out there, so at least check out the first episode - you have nothing to lose. (Don't expect visuals like the OP though; Ryukishi07 is a good writer but a terrible artist.)

Cave is developing an ADV? Well that is... unexpected.

Looking at their backcatalog, it looks like they already developed an ADV, if this qualifies:
Relased as Princess Debut by Natsume in the US, it looks like a dating sim with dancing minigames.
New information report:
- General release dates updated.
- PHANTOM has been delayed to 2011
- Sharin no Kuni has new screens and a new trailer sung by Katakiri Rekka, who also performed the original opening.
- A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS: Pia Carrot 4 360
- A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS: Umineko no Naku Koro ni PS3
>Will contain Episodes 1-4, original BGMs, 1080P CGs, and Ekusa (Binchou-tan) is doing the character designs for the girls, while FFC is doing the designs for the guys. - CLANNAD PS3 details suggest that... it looks to be exactly the same as the 360 version, with pay-for DLC options and all!

I noticed Pia Carrot 4 on AmiAmi a few days ago, but I did not have any other information. Keep the good work updating this thread, I am trying to get my 360 ADV collection completed.

Who is that red eyed girl on the desk? I don't remember her when I played through the PC version! The CGs... look cropped to fit the aspect ratio... That's disappointing. Four new characters... This includes the fandisk then right?icecream said:
Yeah, cropped CG's:
Really looking forward to this! I do hope they keep the ahaha.wav
It includes the main story of the fan disc, yes. Not the fanservice character-route stories though.InfiniteNine said:
That's how it's usually done, unless the original game had wide-aspect CGs. The original source will always be higher resolution than the 800x600 the PC version put out, but it'll also most likely be 4:3.InfiniteNine said:
There's a trailer I forgot to link too.InfiniteNine said:

I think Houzuki's wrath should be displayed at maximum cane hittage though! I probably wouldn't have noticed right away if I didn't see that one. I remember that scene pretty well, but I remember most of Housuki's scenes pretty well because he scares the crap out of me.icecream said:

Question: Icecream, where do you find the sales data of those titles?
Oh crap, didn't know Higurashi was on iPhone!!!
Great thread, it's been a while since I've played a good ADV game. Last one was Ever 17, which was really awesome. I'll keep my eye's open for Aquaplus' PS3 releases, and Steins ; Gate (now should I get the 360 or PC version?). Umineko also registers on my radar!
Going to have to continue brushing up on my Japanese for sure now! :lol

Well if you want 720p CGs and achievements and such, you can grab the 360 version. (PC version content should be available as DLC on the marketplace.) If you don't care about that the PC version looks quite nice at 578p! Can't really go wrong with a great game!Ramune said:
On the Umineko front you can give the PC version of Episode 1 a try off the official site to see how it strikes you: http://www.07th-expansion.net/umi/soft/umi_taiken_r.htm

- A demo for Sharin no Kuni was released on Xbox Marketplace back in October:

- Suigetsu Ni, a sequel to the 2002 PC game Suigetsu (though a PSP port was released a few years back) has been announced for the PS3!

- Yeti/Regista's new game has been revealed: Root Double
- Nakazawa is penning the scenario. After seeing how Uchikoshi did with 999, it should be exciting to see how Nakazawa fares.
- No platform has been announced as of yet, but it's possible they've finally moved on from the PS2 to the PS3/360
- Characers

Going to have to tell my friend about the new Infinity game! He's a big fan so he should be happy, but the artwork looks...lacking.

I really hope the superior version of Robotics;Notes will be on PC, and not on a region-locked console ><

It won't be the superior version if they continue to down-rez the PC version's assets like they did with Steins;Gate. /:
Not so new information report:
- A bunch of trailers were released for Root Double Before Crime*After Days back during C79. The most interesting to note about them besides the references to Isaiah 24:22 and nuclear meltdown, is that they're in HD which strongly suggests that the game is indeed going to be for a HD console.
- Also would be Nakazawa's tweet stating that "Root Double's platform is still being considered, but at present it is most likely that it will debut on a hardware that has a '3' in its name."
- Supposedly it'll be revealed in March.
- Official page for Robotics;Notes is up.
- Famitsu had some commentary from producer Naotaka Hayashi and scenario writer Matsubara Tatsuya, stating that the game will have artwork that will be converted to 3D models like Idolm@ster or Catherine.
Or presumably they mean like E17
- Steins;Gate Hiyoku Renri no Darling has been announced! Official site here. Looks like the Steins;Gate version of Love Chu☆Chu.
- And of course, Ever17 has been announced! And it's a full-on remake! You can read all the joyous details in the other thread.
- Sega put up a new trailer for Pia Carrot e Youkoso!!4 which can be viewed here.
- The Xbox.com page is up too.
- It might have passed under the radar for some, but CROSSCHANNEL ～In memory of all people～ is getting a 360 port!
- Instead of a simple direct port the 360 version has 150% worth of content in comparison to the recent PSP port.
- This new version will have new after stories, and brand new routes penned by Tanaka Romeo, the original writer, himself!
- The 360 version will also have at least 20 new CGs, as well as additional new character graphics.
- The brand new OP, sung by nao with lyrics written by 5pb president Chiyomaru, can be viewed here.
- Various screens can be viewed here.
- Pre-order goods include telephone and library cards, while the LE will be bundled with... an electrical massage strap.
- New screens have been released for Suigestu Ni... and they're not good.
- L@ve once: mermaid's tears releases next week. They released a trailer a while back showing off how Motion Portrait works in-game.
- And of course, ToHeart2 DX Plus has been announced! To paraphrase from the other thread:
- Will incorporate Motion Portrait (just like WA did) and various other features to make it the definitive version of To Heart 2.
- Mitsumi Misasto, the main artist for ToHeart2, is serving as the director for this game.
- The game will consist of TH2 + TH2AD + new heroines and new routes.
- Scenarios will be rewritten, CGs will be redrawn, and the game will have up to 3 times the content of your average title.

Just making sure before my game gets in next week. Does the DLC for Steins;Gate 360 make it mirror the PC version's added content?
