Get cracking on completing those.I have this pre ordered but I think I'll wait. With TitS SC still supposedly coming soon and Cold Steel as well I just won't have time for it. Still got 4 chapters of Book of Shadows to get through too (despite having bought it day one).
This makes too much sense not to happen.I'd love to see a PSN sale on the first two games...... Come on XSEED!
This is actually not the case with Book of Shadows. Although I will say that "getting things undone from the first game" provides a core driving motivation in the plot of Blood Drive.I adored the first, but I still need to play Book of Shadows. I've also heard that a lot of things get undone from the first game, but hopefully I'll still enjoy what they do with the story in the sequels.
Getting to experience the entirety of the Corpse Party "Heavenly Host" trilogy in one fell swoop would be an absolute trip. I'm envious.Never got very far in the first game back when it first came out, but I've always meant to get back to it and this having the 2 soundtracks sold me on picking it up. Guess it's pretty fitting to be playing through the series in October.
Mayu's chapter (Demise) is easily my favorite of this batch... and of Book of Shadows as a whole (apart from the Blood Drive setup at the end).Four of these (chapters 1, 2, 5, and 6) are alternate-universe takes on the first game, following one of the wrong endings from that game in order to pull a Higurashi-like time-loop scenario that asks a lot of "what-if" questions and focuses primarily on characters who didn't get as much development in the first Corpse Party (like Mayu and Morishige). These four chapters are non-canon.
As a diehard Corpse Party fan, I can't say I've been impressed with any of XSEED's trailers for Blood Drive. In fact, I've been pretty disappointed by them given what they had to work with.
I know the visual style changed but is the sound effects and voices still important/creepy in Blood Drive? I might have to break out my bigger headphones when playing this if thats the case.
Yeah, still uses the binaural 3D audio. IMHO, it's not used to quite as great an effect as in the previous titles, but it definitely still has its moments.

Mainly I just want a trailer that sufficiently hypes up Blood Drive for fans of the franchise without spoiling any of it unnecessarily. That's my only real standard here. I know it's tricky given the conscious decision to not fill a trailer full of Japanese voices despite the fact that they're central to driving the emotion of the game... BUT I think it can be done better than your marketing team has delivered thus far.We have a new trailer in production, and it's looking pretty cool so far. Hopefully you like it (I like our E3 trailer too, though, so we might have different standards here!).
By the way, how's the PewDiePie thing going? Did you guys contact him yet?There's only been the one. I'm not sure why that's being listed as a new trailer, since it's just our E3 trailer again.

Well, I mean, I'm not asking for specifics but did you actually consider the idea at least? It'd be pretty cool.I have no idea. That's not my department. Sorry!

We had a very brief import impressions thread rolling last summer.Are there any impressions or reviews about the game out yet?
Nice. I'm all for more exposure for the franchise.Oh, yeah, of course! I man, PewDiePie's already successfully LPed both Corpse Party and Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, so you'd better believe we're all about establishing a good relationship with the guy. I don't think there's any shame in admitting that we REALLY LIKE IT when people with that many YouTube subscribers spread the word about our titles.

i wonder if the first 2 will go on sale again during halloween. forgot to pick them up last year!
Are they going to put up the first two games on sale beforehand? I'd be so down
Can't argue with the logic there. Trailers are a device to sell people on the series and, ultimately, existing fans shouldn't need to be sold.Also, our trailers for Blood Drive are designed more to attract new fans to the franchise than to appeal to those who are already fans, as... well, fans of the franchise are already in, you know? I mean, if you're into Corpse Party, you're going to want to play Blood Drive -- it almost goes without saying. The hard part is spreading awareness of the franchise to people who DON'T already know all about it -- and that's pretty much our goal with these trailers. We want to show off the game's atmosphere first and foremost, not necessarily go over the story. That's not the job of a trailer, that's the job of... well, me.
Thats the standard price of PSN PSP games. This is full priced because it is a vita title. Theres no english vo.
I'd love to see a PSN sale on the first two games...... Come on XSEED!
At full price I thin English VA should really be included. I'm enjoying BoS more on my second attempt but I have to mute the voices which obviously affects the atmosphere.
Well gee a visit from the man himself; thanks boss that really helps. Now if only I can remember how the hell the first game ended.
Spoilers
Morishige, Shinohara, Suzumoto and the teacher from the school they came from are all dead sadly. Kizami and his *friend* that he kicked down a hole are dead. I can't remember what became of Naho because I cant remember what relevance she had on the story anyway besides being an author of the blog that the one girl liked. Which was apparently fake in terms of the ritual anyway. I am pretty sure they appeased Sachiko but I can't remember exactly how they did it. The rest got out safely and returned back to their school/world/home.
I think I got all that right. And I guess Chapter 8 of Book of Shadows picks up from there which is what I need to get around to reading before this game comes out.

I hope so. Never played any of them but I'm interested.
Yes, we will get news for that tomorrow

I'm not sure English voice actors could do these roles justice.At full price I thin English VA should really be included. I'm enjoying BoS more on my second attempt but I have to mute the voices which obviously affects the atmosphere.
Yes.Does this wrap things up neatly,
Also yes. Or, to be more specific, this lays the groundwork for it. This is still a conclusive trilogy break. Just one that respects continuity.or lead right into Dead Patient?
Oh, yeah, of course!

FFS, really?
Yes they are mandatory, first two are available on psp and vita.Aghh, no dub >.< Ah well.
Oh and I assume playing the other games is mandatory? Aren't the PSP?

Can't argue with the logic there. Trailers are a device to sell people on the series and, ultimately, existing fans shouldn't need to be sold.
That said, I think you can appeal to outsiders without spoiling things for the veterans.

I just watched the OVA a couple days ago. Love stuff like this even though I'm not really into this type of game.
You should play the game(s). The OAV doesn't do the story justice at all. It's much too rushed -- they're cramming far too much into four episodes, and leaving out a lot of really crucial info.

FFS, really?
The game will be available digitally for $39.99, as well as physically for $49.99 through a limited Everafter Edition containing a two-disc compilation of songs from Corpse Party, Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, and Corpse Party: Blood Drive, and a Dying Art grimoire featuring over 100 pages of artwork from throughout the franchise.
Oh yeah, that reminds me!
For those of you who disliked the box art, no need to worry: the slip-cover is reversible, and when reversed, the Japanese box-art is on the front and the Japanese LE box-art is on the back.

Thanks for taking in our feedback on that one. Much appreciated.Oh yeah, that reminds me!
