That would be nice. But assuming that that doesn't happen...
Having taken another look (since I was focused on actually playing the first time), I have my survivor predictions ready (assuming
Rantaro and K1-B0 stand where Makoto and Hajime were
Survivors predictions:
Kaede, Supreme Leader, Inventor, Astronaut, Maki, K1-B0. At least I like the last three. And Kaede is okay.

Based on the Japanese release, there should hopefully be some free DLC to improve audio quality (the high-quality audio couldn't fit on the cartridge).
So is there still no word at all on that?
I've been checking the PSN daily but still nothing.
I also tried asking NISA Europe on Twitter, no response, how hard is it to just state what's happening, if it's not coming say it clearly, if it's coming and you have troubles say so as well, if it's coming very soon you should say so even more.
A bit infuriating to see friends playing the PS4 demo while I'm unable to join them and discuss about it :<
I'm kind of wondering if it wouldn't have been better for them to just localize K1-B0 as H0-P3, but then again there might be a case where his name is an important clue to solving the crime, making such a change pretty dangerous.
Is it already known how much the game's going to cost upon release?

$60 for PS4, $40 for Vita.
Sure, but those cardboard cutouts are jarring after seeing what's possible in games like Phoenix Wright or even Despair girls which mixed both sprites and 3d models.
I disagree, cardboards are one of the many reasons why danganronpa games look so unique.

Yea a, I gotta say I'm really attached to the art style and delivery. It would be so easy to lose the charm if they abandoned it.
Monokuma finishs the trial just to mess with everyone. But the former protagonists then explain everything at least to the viewer.
What about the PC version?
Haven't found any prices for it, and didn't see one listed on Steam when I checked. I would expect $40, but I'd rather not make any assumptions.

For any worries about PC performance, I put everything on max (full screen had no 1600x900 option so I used Borderless) and my 2012 laptop got 50 FPS
Well in case anyone else care the PSV demo is now up on the european store, finally!
Nice, thank you.

How is the demo on Vita? I heard some visual effects were not present, but how's performance?
I have HENkaku, so I can't download it myself right now (might update for the full game though)

It's fine, the audio compression is a bit bad though.
The Danganronpa 3 anime is a trainwreck of despair, which can be quite entertaining if you're fond of trainwrecks (I was), but it will not improve your enjoyment of the games.
3 and V3 are unrelated. 3 ends the story of 1+2 while V3 is a new start.
Without being spoiled at all for V3 (well, someone posted what the V stood for on here once without a spoiler tag, so maybe that's a spoiler?), it claims to be unrelated to the originals and though I don't inherently trust that, I very much doubt it would expect you to know anything from 3 regardless.

I can't wait for this game, seriously. Doing the social link stuff in Island Mode and I surprisingly like Mahiru more now.
Disagree. The main DR games have a pop-up book aesthetic and V3 really sets it off. Game looks great.
I do think UDG looks real good too though.
I started the demo last night but had to stop right at the beginning of the class trial because it was getting too late. I like most of the characters so far at least and a lot of the dialog was pretty funny.
I burst out laughing when I saw who the victim for the demo was. That's some meta shit right there

I need to get around to finishing D2.
Listened to some of the OST tracks for D3. Wow. Takada has no limits! This might be my favorite OST so far.

The vita audio is garbage in the demo. I heard it is suppose to be fixed with dlc. Does anybody know anything about that?
I wanted to get this on the vita but I may have to get it on pc if it's truly this bad

Japan got a voice quality patch a week after it launched in Japan, so I would assume we'll get the same, hopefully on day 1. I think part of the problem was that the higher quality audio couldn't fit on the cartridge.
I tried asking NISA about it, but never got a response.

Thanks. I suppose I'll just wait and see. Won't buy it at launch unfortunately until I know if it's fixed. Will wait a few weeks and if nothing I'll get it on pc. Don't even want to play the demo until then.
Oh good, they confirmed it as a day one download. I figured as such, but nice to hear it officially.

I'd pretty much checked out of this series after the DR3 anime, but playing the demo has me hooked again. I forget how good the soundtrack is in these games.

Can't go wrong playing it on vita right? Would feel weird getting the PS4 ver.
Did you try the demo? Folks are saying the compression is noticeable. On PS4/PC you're getting uncompressed audio/visuals, 60fps; it really seems like it's made for those.

PC version is great as always, these guys are great with their ports.

The visuals on Vita don't look compressed, but rather they seem to lack partial transparency or filtering (which is most noticeable on sprites that are rendered smaller than fullscreen, like the protagonist). It's not that much different from the previous games otherwise. Though, the FMVs would probably have some compression.
As for audio, there's the day-one DLC for that.
Finally played the demo (was looking for it the last few days via the PSStore search function, not finding it because the store is trash)
Anyway, enjoyed the demo. I like that you can now see the protag's portrait as well (btw also really cool that the protag is female this time, went into the demo basically blind and I didn't expect that). As for the new minigames/mechanics, Logic Drive seems fun, not really a fan of that match 2 or more thing, the
mechanic seems really interesting though, could lead to some crazy fuckery.
As for the characters (I'm bad with names so I'll just use their talents)
I liked: Pianist, Magician, Caretaker, Anthropologist, Inventor, Maid
Neutral: Entomologist, Tennis pro, Aikido, Astronaut, ???, Detective
Dislike: Robot, Supreme Leader, Cosplayer, Artist
As for my predictions (assuming DR2 ratio here but that can and will probably be wrong)
Killers: Magician, Entomologist, Cosplayer, Supreme Leader, Aikido
Victims: Tennis pro, Artist, Maid, Detective, Astronaut, Anthropologist
Survivors: Pianist, Caretaker, Robot, Inventor, ???

^ I feel like Aikido is more likely to be victim than a killer. I can see a trial having a red herring clue with no signs of a struggle and make the assumption that the killer was not male(since she auto-throws them), but that turns out to be false for some reason or another for maximum predictable twists.
Also feel like leader will last to the end(for the purpose of fucking over trials) and probably cause a few people to kill each other but not get his own hands dirty.

for the demo? not sure. for the main game it was made with the ps4 pro in mind.
How does it profit from the Pro?
pretty sure they made it with 4k in mind. that's the extent of it though - i don't even know what hdr is let alone whether or not v3 supports it.
Thanks for this information. Managing the Vita memory card is a pain.

Finally able to play the demo!!
The opening
Now, onto the new characters...
Don't dislike anyone in particular so far, but some of them have some weird mouth expressions lol
Favorite characters so far are probably Maki, Tenko, Shuichi and Kokichi. Kirumi and Korekiyo are interesting and have cool designs too. I like Miu's design and talent but comments are too much lol Himiko's probably my least favorite but I'll wait for the full game to judge her.
The new mechanics are kinda weird lol but that's always the case with DR.
Alright, after being introduced to the cast, Rantaro, Shuichi, K1-B0 and Maki all seem like important characters. But since DR
and loves to pull all kinds of twists, I'll try and guess these could be this game's survivors:
Kaede - Kokichi - Maki - Miu - Kaito (and maaaaaybe Ryoma if there's 6 survivors)
Can't waaaaaait for the full release.
The opening
doesn't seem to spoiler any major death like SDR2's. Good. I would rather have Hajime as my partner than Makoto but aight.

So Rantaro's the ultimate ??? this time, so I guess he's plot-important. Same with Shuichi being Ultimate Detective, K1-B0 being a robot and Maki being the last one before the gym. Most of other characters are funny/cute. Kaito reminds me of Hagakure/Kazuichi, let's see what to expect from him. Kokichi's a dick lol. And of course Ryoma has that kind of voice.
HAGAKURE? LOL Monokubs are alright. Kaito seemed desperate around them. So Keebo and Rantaro won't be participating, huh. I hope neither of them is the first killed/culprit in the actual game.
The new mechanics are kinda weird lol but that's always the case with DR.
Nice ending. I wonder if the hair and different blood on the knife handle will play a part in the actual game.
Alright, after being introduced to the cast, Rantaro, Shuichi, K1-B0 and Maki all seem like important characters. But since DR
normally has an equal gender ratio of survivors
Kaede - Kokichi - Maki - Miu - Kaito (and maaaaaybe Ryoma if there's 6 survivors)
Can't waaaaaait for the full release.
