NISA, no. But XSEED had a press conference where they announced nothing but PC ports. This isn't about either/or. No one is against PC ports, and we are aware that announcing PC ports does not stop them from announcing new games and vice versa. It's just that press conferences are usually for new games, so when you end up with a conference that consists of only/majority PC ports, people get disappointed.

Or you know, announce both ports and new games at the same press event
LOL. Dunno, seems less insufferable than "please no steam ports please no oh my god this press conference ruined im 5 years old oh god" group.
ok can we just leave this out of the thread its getting ridiculous now.
Not only that. We received a press release from Koch Media with no embargo whatsoever, so we posted it.
What are the other announcements then?
Yeah that's entirely reasonable, should have quoted the guy saying all PC ports should be announced silently on twitter some other time instead of being shown in the press conference.

There's a reason I don't post in the Steam thread anymore, although i'm sure some people are happy about that.
Anway, the event is live tweeted, if a good part of the event is spent on ports it's gonna be boring as hell.
I WANT Steam ports, I even buy a lot of them. I just don't care that much that I want time spent on them at a press event

The group that gets mad when Japanese games get ported to Steam. Thankfully some of the worst offenders have been banned.
Getting angry that a press event wasn't catered directly to your own needs is pretty silly too.
lets just hold a press conference for every steam port announced then, wasn't that how disgaea was announced?
back on topic, what are the chances of Yomawari? Really want that game localized and surprised it hasn't been yet.
You mean catered to the main demographic that buys their games that wants their titles localized so we ALL can play it? Didn't know that was so wrong to want.
It's a VN game, it'll take most of their time. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the only announcement they had.

woo more vns
i guess this opens the possibility of more vns being licensed by them especially ones not made by NIS or Spike

Well or bundle the announcement/s with a press conference or such.
I see no problem with announceing it on twitter but I see no reason for them not to do this.
Of course having a press conference for only steam ports will be dissapointing for their main audience which most oftenly is ps4/psvita, no way around that and I'm not trying to argue about that either.
I've gotten the impression it's not a very good game.
Well, it's still surprising given 5pb's old behavior towards licensing.
I just want localization, don't care what its for as I have a PS4/Ps Vita and PC. I'm a bit more optimistic about the event hearing Psycho Pass being released in the fall.

We already knew the game was getting localized. Is it really that shocking NISA is the one doing it?

If we're getting more visual novels then please lord bestow unto me Fuuraiki 3 and If My Heart Had Wings.

honestly even if this press event ended up being nothing but pc ports it's still will be something compared to NISA's AX panel last year where they announced literally nothing
I take back what I said tho. Since that's only based on one rating which is a 10, but the bayesian rating skews it to 5.94. I'll have to check the EGS score.

EGS isn't going to tell you much for this type of game either.
Should be 8 hours.
I don't think you know how this works. You don't spend the good part of the year only working on a visual novel, if you want to keep your business afloat.
It is, very. It's 5pb and NISA, there have been no sign of communication or previous attempts at a relationship from them, specially since NISA just got into the visual novel genre.
Thank you, I'm adding that to the OP.
I'd love to be wrong, but it seems AniHawk was right. A VN and no Vita only stuff. Only Psycho-Pass leaking is a little suspicious, it's best to keep our expectations low.

Hmm. I only saw Access Restricted to this Domain. Until I clicked through. Odd. I'm not on a shared connection at this time.
5pb doing anything with anyone other than Degica is really weird and hardly ever happens outside of Steins;Gate.
Mandatory Shin no kamaitachi no yoru(think of a weird and serious danganronpa without minigames) localization beg

Also uppers, net high, ukyo no roushi/shinshi, and many more.
I think it's too early for Danganronpa 3, we haven't seen anything yet!
Wouldn't any Kamaitachi game likely be from Aksys (if it were to ever happen), given that they did the iOS one?
Anyway, PP's a surprising but interesting choice; hopefully we get more VNs in general from NISA going forward. For today, I'm at least hoping for Yomawari and Root Letter, with a unlikely to be satisfied wish for Hero Must Die... though that's based on the premise alone; no idea if it's actually good, I guess, hmm.

They don't exactly have a western branch, they just announced a worldwide release, which could be published in the West by another company.
Yeah, this was my line of thought.
Though, to clarify, it's not like I want NISA to be releasing it specifically. I just want a full announcement and ideally a date sometime soon!

Here's the details......there won't be any. The game is not out in Japan till late this year, we are not getting it until next. Do not expect anything about it at this press conference.

I'm keeping my expectations extremely low because I always end up disappointed by these press events. I almost wouldn't be surprised if Psycho Pass was the only game they mention.
I doubt it. Maybe they'll show some it as one of these games they're working on with only the logo. It's way too early for any details from NISA.

A date for Hotaru no Nikki PC would be nice. If they make the Lumen controls better via mouse too it'll be waaaaaaaay less frustrating to play. Hoping for some Yomawari info as well.
Is that the one where they had a sign telling people they're listening about Soul Nomad or am I imagining things out of a feverish desire for more Soul Nomad?
You're being fucking ridiculous.

Expect new announcements for localizations.
If you want to follow announcements in real time, follow these Twitters:
I really wonder what they will talk about. I don't expect anything too exciting to be honest!

Yes: Those who gets physically ill when a Steam port is announced. On the only one game leaked, its also a Steam announcement. Can we please stop with the port begging accusations ?
Sheeesh I swear. Some people just feel insecure because their favorite platform wont be the only one to get a game.
We already know Sword of Stranger City, Phantom Brave and htol niq are coming. Where's the port begging ??

Someone said "Please no ports (I'd rather have new localizations)" and some Steam cheerleaders got really unreasonably upset about that. That's how this entire dumb argument even started.
But yeah I'm being ridiculous here.

That someone said, please no Steam ports. That's when the argument started. Thanks to that stupid ass comment. And yes you are being ridiculous.
