Omg yaaass pls!!
I loved Catherine and would absolutely enjoy another game in the series. Although I do think I'd prefer a different story/set of characters if they did -- like others have suggested, making a series out of the Golden Playhouse could be really cool.

But damn, now I'm all hyped and want to play the first one again.

 

[vato_loco]

I would be absolutely down for a Catherine sequel... as long as it makes sense, story-wise. Catherine was pretty well wrapped up in itself.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Adored Catherine and would play the hell out of a sequel but part of me just kind of wants it left alone. Not everything needs a sequel.

 

[RPGam3r]

So are they going to make the gameplay more interesting this time, otherwise hard pass.

 

[microtransaction]

NEW RECORD! NEW RECORD! NEW RECORD!

More Catherine? Count me in!

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'd be all over that

To me the gameplay was already pretty damn interesting. Its most intense puzzle game I ever played.

I found the puzzle stuff jarring in the context of the rest of the game. I also found it boring, but that's me.

 

[Scoops312]

It's time to finally play Catherine, isn't it?

It's a solid puzzle game but was really overhyped as some deeper take on relationships when it's all pretty one dimensional.

Each its own I guess.

 

[Sevyne]

Kind of dont want a direct sequel to Catherine even though I love it. I'd would like Golden Playhouse to be a series of more experimental games that are all very different from each other and Catherine just being the first of them.

I agree and even made thread about it recently.

[Kazuhira]

Oooh that would be awesome! the thought of a sequel never crossed my mind because i always consider it as a stand-alone game with a story that concluded pretty nicely.
It would be odd call it Catherine again if she is not coming back right? haha
Anyway,i would be all over it..the game was so much fun in a lot aspects but i hope there's more variety in the dungeons this time,not just climbing.

 

[MoogPaul]

I really just need a PC version with a mode to make/play custom levels.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

I'm edging right now.

Missed that thread but completely agree. A Catherine 2 is a fantastic idea in that the first game is stellar, arguably my favourite game from 2012, but the name and story don't really scream 'sequel'.

The gameplay, art style and overall mood are aching to get a second outing. Don't call it Golden Playhouse if you don't need to, but this would only work if it is a new story with new characters being viewed from the Golden Playhouse.

Give me that and I'm there, day one.

 

[silva1991]

don't you freakin jinx it

Catherine is BC and usually on sale. they at least remember the game is on xbox too unlike Nier. i'm going to murder john atlus if Catherine2 doesn't get a xbox version too

I could be wrong, but I think It's Xbox team that decides what games they will make BC. I don't think it's on Atlus.

Also John isn't with Atlus anymore.

 

[Keinning]

I could be wrong, but I think It's Xbox team that decides what games they will make BC.

If only it was that easy
obviously the xbox team handles the BC process but they still need to talk with devs/publishers to obtain rights for BC.

also forgot there was a dude named john who worked for atlus and posted here. sorry it's not you who i am going to murder!

 

[cj_iwakura]

I feel like watching all the cutscenes was enough for me.

Go watch some competitive action and rethink that.

We're keeping the game alive nearly a decade later.

AND it's a main event at CEOTaku this month.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

I know a lot of people just want another Golden Playhouse themed game and are fine with a completely different genre, but not me. I want more of that Catherine gameplay so bad. That core gameplay was sooooo good.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Not to be a buzzkill, but that literally looks like they just dubbed over the existing scene of her introducing the Babel mode. Still cause for hope, but they didn't put in much effort.

Thats were the PS4 version of original Catherine comes in.

 

[MrKeinov]

IT'S HAPPENING!

Make that a Switch version and they can have all my money.

HOLY SHIT CATHERINE MULTIPLAYER ON THE GO HNNGGG

You click the Joycons in and the game says 'EDGE!'

Fuck, I want that!

 

[funkystudent]

Go for it.

Since capcom keeps shitting the bed, Evo needs a new headliner.

 

[pbayne]

Needs a new angle/gimmick but sure id be up for another Catherine style game

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I'd be down for another game using the Golden Playhouse framework. I definitely don't want a sequel to Catherine though, that story is done.

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

Oh HELL yes.

 

[Puruzi]

oh shit son

Agreed, it's a strange thing to say I don't feel that the puzzle gameplay really defines Catherine as an IP to me, it's the tone. I'm all for a sequel, but I hope it's as experimental as the original was.

We're still finding mysteries and exploits within the versus mode to this day.

 

[Murugo]

There's no denying it. That's the theme to Catherine they played at the end of the video.

I would absolutely not mind if they brought the block puzzles back. Happens to be my favorite part of the game combined with its macabre tone.

[Lee Chaolan]

Hopefully best girl Erica is prominently featured in any follow up.

 

[Seiryoden]

I'm another one who'd settle for a remaster with online coop / versus. A sequel would be wonderful.

 

[eyeball_kid]

I would love that. Catherine was my favorite title on the PS3. Golden Playhouse is the perfect outlet for Atlus to experiment with new game ideas. As others have said, I don't want a Catherine 2 because that story is complete, but I would be down for something in the same universe. Definitely something with adult characters, not teenagers.

 

[dragonlife]

Fuck, please be true. I'd kill for a new Catherine, or a remaster for PC/Switch/everything else.

 

[Kuro]

I didn't like Catherine but I wouldn't mind a sequel if it had completely different gameplay.

Same here.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I didn't like Catherine but I wouldn't mind a sequel if it had completely different gameplay.

The gameplay was the best thing about it though.

But to be fair, I remember people being pissed when it was revealed to be a puzzle climber. Me, I never slapped down money on an import faster.

I beat the game while barely understanding it and loved every second. Imagine my joy when it picked up a competitive scene.

Catherine is the only game I consider myself a contender at. I comfortably make ~top 8 at every tournament I've been to. (Though boy is the competition fierce now.)

[xzeldax3]

I'm excited for anything related to Catherine or the Golden Playhouse so I'm in!

 

[tiebreaker]

I don't want Vincent. Maybe a cameo appearance, but I think his story is done.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I don't want Vincent. Maybe a cameo appearance, but I think his story is done.

A similar tale in a new setting would be interesting.

One with a female protagonist would be amazing.

 

[big fake]

I personally think Catherine is Atlas' best work and is one of my top 5 games of all time. I WOULD FUCKING DIE for sequel!!!

Spoiler

OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[_Ryo_]

I'd like a game with a Catherine-esque story, and hubworld and The Witness-esque puzzles.

 

[dragonlife]

One with a female protagonist would be amazing.

This would be great, but some concerns immediately jump to mind:

- The target audience probably couldn't handle a female version of Vincent since "ew, dudes," or, "I can't relate." (lol).

- A female lead of this nature handled by Atlus. I expect a lot of missteps. But who knows.

HOLD ME GAF

Catherine is legit one of my favorite games ever please let this be what I want it to.
