Juniors.
Anyway, really excited about that. Played the DR1 a year or two ago but haven't had the chance to play Super Danganronpa yet, so I hope it gets released on Steam shortly after the first game.
That sounds really cool actually.
Nice to see another confirmation from the leaks. Probably won't get it day one unless it's very cheap, though. I replayed the game just before DR2 came out, so it's still fairly fresh in memory. I can't imagine it being much fun to replay anytime soon. I might end up throwing money at them anyway if it's priced reasonably, though.
Also, it's safe to assume DR2 will follow but I wonder about Another Episode. I still haven't played my Vita copy so I'm not sure if I should get around to it ASAP or just hold off for a potential PC release that will certainly run better. Hmm...
Also, before anyone else says anything, the sequel is objectively worse.
*runs away*
edit: seriously though buy both games when they come out on Steam because they're great

It'd be neat if this resulted in people cracking the Dangan engine wide open and being able to create their own class trials. Of course there'd be a ton of poorly made crap, but someone might come up with a really cool, original trial.
Another Episode looks and runs great on Vita, barring one or two very small instances. Go ahead and play it before you accidentally get spoiled.
Yup yup yup it's super good. Just try it! Like watching the trailer in OP kinda makes me cringe because of how not-good it looks when taken out of context. But it's reaaaaally good.To add to this, it's a very high energy game with an inconsistent tone (for greater effect imo). There's humor and characters hamming it up, but also a bleak atmosphere and people being killed in legitimately cruel ways with other characters reacting to said deaths without a hint of humor. It was actually going to be much darker, but the developers changed it quite a bit since it was becoming too bleak.
It takes elements from several other games (Ace Attorney, Persona 3/4, Zero Escape) and yet somehow manages to be completely distinct. I can't think of another series that's so unique while simultaneously being comparable to other stuff. It's really something that needs to be experienced for anyone that has even a passing interest in the genre. Hell, I've seen it win over people that were adamant in their hatred of the genre.
Let's hope the leaks were true.
Never forget the #1 rule of Danganronpa: don't get attached to anyone until the game is truly over.
I didn't and so 3 out my favorites died within the first 2 chapters :/
Does the localized version have voice options? I had read a little of a let's play from before it was even fan translated and I watched a little bit with the English dub, and Monokuma's just not the same when he doesn't have the Doraemon voice.
That's a bummer. I thought the first game seriously failed to live up to the hypebut I still enjoyed my time with it.
This only happened to me once or twice, throughout the entire game, and even then they were only characters I kind of liked. You just need to pick a good favorite! 😁Never forget the #1 rule of Danganronpa: don't get attached to anyone until the game is truly over.

Already off to a great start.
Can't wait. Heard so much good stuff about the series but never got to try it. Don't get all the dislikes on that announcement video.
Vita owners are weird.Can't wait. Heard so much good stuff about the series but never got to try it. Don't get all the dislikes on that announcement video.
Hey, how did Spike Chunsoft got this approved without going through Steam Greenlight?

I've dreaded that since knowing the concept. Have yet to really get started on one though, despite receiving that as a gift close-ish to release.Never forget the #1 rule of Danganronpa: don't get attached to anyone until the game is truly over.

Wouldn't surprise me if more and more they're paying attention to how prominent a publisher/developer is and just where that game was made available. This is one that was pretty popular online, had a full Lets Play and fan translation before getting an official release, and 2 more games following it, so it's clearly an established series that's reasonably safe to just let get onto Steam without any Greenlight roadblocks.Going to assume it's because they're already a known entity and Valve lets them bypass it. Quite a few other developers don't have any of their first Steam games on there either, despite releasing said games after Greenlight became a thing.

Our sources on this are murky at best, but legends say there used to be a time before the light shone green and publishers had a way of contacting the sacred halls of Gaben directly. Alas, such knowledge is now surely lost, but the old pacts of yore are stil respected by Valve to this day .Hey, how did Spike Chunsoft got this approved without going through Steam Greenlight?
It MIGHT be expected being a niche VN-style game from developers/publishers who weren't prominent on PC on Steam or internationally (Agarest, Gurumin, and even Deadly Premonition were on it I think), but I also expect Valve is paying attention to how games like this never seem to actually have trouble passing Greenlight so it ends up being a silly song and dance.Most games on Steam don't go through Greenlight.
In other news we have discovered the internet kills long term memory. Even 60 year olds can't remember what it was like to have their phone stuck on a tiny ethernet cord!Our sources on this are murky at best, but legends say there used to be a time before the light shone green and publishers had a way of contacting the sacred halls of Gaben directly.

I was worried about this, kinda bummed that this really does seem like a no-frills 544p Vita port so far (based off these screens), just like Sayonara Umihara Kawase was. I don't wanna jump to any conclusions without more info, but the screens don't instill confidence. I suppose it was too much to hope for higher res art of the characters.Screenshots are at Vita's resolution,not a great sign:
But if this is getting a PS4 release too at some point, wouldn't it make sense to have HD art assets?
Well that is mighty interesting. I wonder what other series they are bringing onto Steam.As for other games, Spike Chunsoft isnt yet ready to divulge plans for future Steam releases. However, the company has confirmed that the Danganronpa series is only the start, and it does have other plans.

If this game only use 2d art its not big deal?I was worried about this, kinda bummed that this really does seem like a no-frills 544p Vita port so far (based off these screens), just like Sayonara Umihara Kawase was.

Hopefully the sprites will still look somewhat nice and clean at fullscreen 1080p, and that there are at least resolution options for the environments. If resolution isn't even an option... well, there's always Durante. :/
