Zero Time Dilemma: JP Trailer 2
- Thread starter GSR
- Start date
Exactly. Also in VLR the models were only standing there VN style and only did some basic gestures. Here we have this cinema stuff and the models will constantly move around.
Yeah but VLR had vn-style dialogs and VLR gave us exactly the few generic animations and expressions that one would expect from vn dialogs, in the end models just replaced animated sprites, but cutscenes are totally another thing, they need good recitation, bad animations won't bother us most of the time, but i'm sure that bad recitation will ruin great scenes full of pathos or tension that require good recitation, this trailer itself already shows scenes losing impact because of bad animations.

Definitely preferred the visual style with 2D art in 999 over 3D characters in VLR. I think the best would have been to have 2D characters and 3D real-time rendered backgrounds.
Edit: oh, and just 2D artwork for certain scenes, like 999.
The akward lip-sync and animation in VLR actually took me out of it a bit. I was far more engaged in 999.

Even though the visuals aren't the best, I was still left eager for zero escape 3. Still on team d for sigma and phi.

That cover looks fantastic.
I need to catch up with VLR.

I don't mind the visuals. Just excited I get to play this.
Anyone have a good site to summarize the events of the previous games? I have played both and have the main gist of what is going on, but individual story lines and specific events are foggy.

we should just have an all purpose Zero Escape spoiler thread to try and talk over what happened lol
without looking it up
Compared to VLR, the animation looks fine. And I didn't get sucked into the series because of the art style or graphics, I got sucked into it because of the gameplay and story so as long as the quality of that is good then this will easily be game of the year contender for me.

Lol. Yea good luck. Though I do think a "The story so far" thread would be a great idea closer to ZTD.

Why does Phi have orange eyebrows, damn it. WHAT IS UP.

I wholeheartedly encourage more discussion of Eyebrowgate 2016 if it will discourage further gangpiling on the janky animations from this game we should feel blessed even exists in the first place.

That Japanese cover art looks even better than the Western one, if thats possible.

Focused on the characters it looks like.
JP site redone as well with a bunch of new screens and the like: http://www.spike-chunsoft.co.jp/zeroescape/index.php
JP boxart:
Confirmed rated D.
Oooo thanks GSR...
nice to wake up to some Zero Escape news =)
I can't decide if I want to play Team D for Phi or Q for the all new group.
I was honestly expecting more speculation than criticism. We're getting the game so soon.

The awkward animation in VLR was relatively easy to get past with the visual novel format of the game, as you wouldn't expect much animation at all anyway. But if they've dropped that format for ZTD and all the story sequences will be 'cutscenes' like this, it's going to be a whole lot harder to get past.
I get that this is the only way we get a third game, but I guess I'm inherently a bit pessimistic about it since I still kind of think 999 didn't even need the first sequel. (I do hope that ZTD can somehow convince me the sequels are worthwhile, though.)

This game could be nothing but text on a black background and I'd be satisfied.
Looks great, can't wait.

Yeah, pretty much. Hell I'd still take it even if the story was written on toilet paper. JUST GIVE IT TO ME!

I love how most of Team D's interactions in that trailer amount to:
"KILL ME!"
"NO, I'M THE ONE WHO'S GONNA DIE."
"FUCK YOU, I'M THE ONE WHO'S GONNA DIE."
Like, they're all trying to keep the other two alive and it's precious. Though from the trailer looks like Phi wins out on being the sacrifice for the game.

Trailer looks awesome, I prefer it over the first one. I have no issues with the animation or art design. I paused on the flashing images towards the end to see if there was anything cool, I'm not worried about accidentally spoiling myself, since I'm sure the craziest theory I create of what the images could mean would be no where near as crazy as what they actually will mean in game.
I'm a bit distraught though about when I'll get to play this game. I will be away for work when it releases, and won't be home / back to a normal schedule until the end of August. I'll have two hours of free time a day (I won't have time to play at night) but I feel like using all of my free time to play the game in small chunks won't be optimal (Since I'll definitely have other things to do on my breaks). I think I'm going to have to wait until the end of August to actually play this properly. :'(

I'm least attached to team q but I got a feeling team q is going to be the most bonkers and interesting team. There's so many potential heroic sacrifice looking at the participants involved this time around.

Seriously? When can we get the translation of this trailer?
I feel bad about Q. He's stuck with two loonies. Mira is downright psycho.

Damn, I feel like I'm always gonna be the minority on stuff now. The first trailer made me not want to play the game anymore, but I thought this trailer was awesome from start to finish. The movement is wonky, but it was always going to be. The story stuff they hinted at definitely has me pining for more (Voting? Percentages? a Pig)? Voices mean nothing since I'm going to be playing in English since I don't know Japanese, but I guess they're good for people who understand that language, so that's nice.
Roughly 69 days till it comes out (At least in NA, since we get it first for once). Definitely gonna watch a friend play through it, and will pick up a copy if it doesn't have ME3 levels of a bad ending like Junpei and Akane ending up together in a happy timeline or Phi being Brother and Snake and Aoi or something.
Oh, and Mira looks off the wall crazy, and I think Reddit found out her twist.
You think Aksys is going to translate this trailer at all? They didn't translate the second VLR trailer (which was kinda like this one as far as introducing characters goes), but the first trailer did say "trailer 1..."

She's a lizard. Look at those eyes.

I don't what shape or form it will be. I just want to know what will happen. June can't come soon enough.
Nice Zero mask BTW. Is there a png file for that?
The end of June can't come soon enough.
Just like it was when it popped up in VLR.
Edit: HNNNG...that Junpei line from the trailer. Thanks KnightBuster.

I'm just hoping that we didn't accidentally see something spoilerly that's obvious. I mean, the 999 trailer had
and the VLR trailer had
, but you don't understand either of those till after you played the game. The second VLR trailer, though, had
front and center, which kiiiiinda ruined any mysteries revolving around
Ace holding the gun
Dio holding the detonator
Alice killing herself
who killed Alice.
