I believe this was the E3 demo that they promised they would release eventually. Also digital preorders are now up and you get a theme if you preorder.

Put me in a class trial if old.

 

[Big Green Anus]

Love me some Danganronpa! I'm to try demo out.

 

[Gurnlei]

Wish we'd get it on PC. Can't even preorder.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Thanks for the heads up. Not sure if I want to go Vita or PS4. Might try both demos and see.

LFG!! Think im coppin for the Vita. I played the other 2 on that so I think Ill stick with it. Plus my poor Vita hasn't been used in a while, time to take that bad boy out.

Oh man i really hope so!

 

[Loz246789]

Just started playing this, it's pretty neat so far! Very stylish.

 

[Oreiller]

Thanks for the heads up, can't wait to try this.

 

[Sinh_Magnus]

Would play this, but I'm getting it anyways and would make the 1 month wait difficult.

 

[bigkrev]

Debating just skipping this and jumping in 100% blind to the retail release next month. Have managed to avoid everything about the game till now.

I might play the Vita demo for 15 minutes or so just to see how it runs

 

[DNAbro]

It's an original scenario if that changes your mind.


Also goddamn this game legit looks gorgeous. So damn clean and stylish. Visual design off the charts.

 

[NotLiquid]

Did Monokuma get a new English VA for this game? His inflection sounds a bit different - feels like he's slightly more laid back.

 

[MudoSkills]

This thread has gone over ten posts and nobody has posted that fucking gif of the dancing Monokumas yet. Someone needs to get on it.

 

[EdibleKnife]

So glad I've managed to dodge spoilers for this. Debating even trying the demo.

Great news!

 

[Otaku Coder]

It seems very deliberately made to not spoil the full game. In fact, it reminds me of the DR1 demo (only came out in Japan for the original PSP version, it did get fan-translated though) in how it plays around.

In fact (SPOILERS for the DRv3 demo):

Spoiler

There's pieces of dialogue that make no sense unless you're familiar with the DR1 demo!

 

[Sinh_Magnus]

Oh so is unrelated to the main story? I might get it then.

Edit: I thought it was part of the first case or something similar. Just checked it on the wiki. Will download it, thanks gaf.

 

[FDC1]

So no chance we're getting the Vita demo in the West?

 

[Otaku Coder]

Oh so is unrelated to the main story? I might get it then.

It'll introduce you to the cast, but it's, uhh... definitely not canon!

 

[Xeroblade]

Wait what? So I can play it without worrying about the main story?

Edit: yep read the wiki as well, its fine to play since it is its own story.

 

[Eblo]

Thanks for clearing this up. That's what I was hoping for.

 

[DNAbro]

Yup. Completely it's own story that works as in intro to the cast and the idea behind the game.

 

[Caim]

So glad I've managed to dodge spoilers for this. Debating even trying the demo.

The story is unique to the demo, it does not spoil anything, and references the demo for Trigger Happy Havoc which also features a case not in the game.

EDIT: Beaten!

 

[Otaku Coder]

Also: this has save data you can import into the full game, promising that you'll get a bonus for doing so.

It'll probably just be an extra item or in-game currency, but yeah.

 

[lovely ladies]

Main character sounded like Ann Takamaki. I'm guessing it's the same voice actress.

 

[ChackanKun]

Oh shit, I forgot this was coming out!

Goddamn, I need 48 hours days....!

 

[MulderYuffie]

Gonna get on this!

 

[bigkrev]

So no chance we're getting the Vita demo in the West?

It's already up...

[Zeroro]

Are there any images of the theme you get with the pre-order?

 

[Loz246789]

The absolute madmen
I can't believe it
Demo only spoilers

Spoiler

Hagakure's fucking dead. In the demo.
AGAIN. This is everything I ever wanted.

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

I really hope the story is good in this one after they botched the anime.

Curious to see how Danganronpa 1, 2 and V3 stack up against the Zero Escape trilogy when it's all said and done.

 

[D-Man]

Did Monokuma get a new English VA for this game? His inflection sounds a bit different - feels like he's slightly more laid back.

Nope, it's still Brian Beacock.

I haven't played it yet so this might be wrong but V3 is meant to be a reboot so it's not really fair to compare it to the Zero Escape trilogy.

 

[DNAbro]

It also plays the V3 version of the main DR theme.

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

I haven't played it yet so this might be wrong but V3 is meant to be a reboot so it's not really fair to compare it to the Zero Escape trilogy.

V3 has nothing to do with the previous Danganronpa games?

Like a totally different universe, or just set in the same universe with a new story not tied to previous events? Disappointing if it's the former...

 

[FDC1]

It's already up...

I asked because NIS said it was PS4 only:

We still don't have it in Europe

We won't know until we play the game...or you ask someone who completed it in japanese.

We don't have it in Europe

Can confirm. At least not for the vita.

 

[Nightwing123]

Cool I can't wait to try the game out. I hope this game ends up having a character that I love as much as I did Nagito Komaeda <3

 

[t_wilson01]

Thanks for the heads up op.

 

[Zeroro]

It's been pitched as a sort of soft reboot from what I read in interviews, but that's pretty suspect coming from Kodaka...

There are most definitely going to be some Danganronpa-ass shenanigans.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Only the PS4 version is coming up.

 

[Semblance]

Demo on Steam should be up shortly.

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

I'll be getting it on PC when it drops. Want to play some more Danganronpa. Also I'm guessing Makoto and Hajime aren't supposed to be in the actual game. They're placeholders to avoid spoilers I'm guessing.

 

[Zeroro]

Only the PS4 version is coming up.

Weird. Seems to show up when you look for it through the online store.

 

[PorygonVandal]

Awww yeah, Steam version demo, let's see if my computer can handle this thing..... Which I doubt lol

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

Awww yeah, Steam version demo, let's see if my computer can handle this thing..... Which I doubt lol

Do you have a potato computer, lol

Seriously though, I think you'll be fine. It's a visual novel.

 

[PorygonVandal]

Yes, I do

It suffered during the last trial of the second one thanks to the 3D model, and after watching screenshots it will suffer during the walking parts....

 

[GSR]

Yup. The DRV3 demo is basically a response to the DR1 demo for fans, so they tossed Makoto and Hajime in there for fun.
