Greetings, my fellow doods! Chris King from NIS America here to give you some fresh information on our upcoming title, Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness.

We are happy to officially announce that the game is coming to Europe on 16th September for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita!

For those who may not know much about Psycho-Pass, allow me to share with you a brief history: Psycho-Pass originally began as an anime television series, airing in Japan in 2014. The anime received critical praise and quickly made its way to the West and grew to become very popular within the anime community. Written by Gen Urobuchi, best known for his dark style and unforgiving plot twists, Psycho-Pass tells a dystopian sci-fi tale for the ages…

Niceeeeeeee.
Don't know much about the anime so I won't say day one, but I could see it be that way.

PS4 and Vita

 

[StrikeFirst117]

Oh damn never thought this would have came over, insta-bought on pc, decent month of release as well up to now.

PS4 and Vita

Cool...I see nothing.
Wonder though...maybe those prices can follow suite in Europe. The £65-75 price tags plus £11 in shipping is kinda killing it for many it seems.

[GhostTrick]

PC confirmed too ?

 

[Li Kao]

PC confirmed too ?

Yep, in the official site.

[GoldandBlue]

Cool. Hoping the story is better than season 2 and the movie.

Japan loves their pencil boards so I'm surprised we don't see it more often.

 

[Durante]

I liked the first anime season well enough. Will get this on PC eventually.

$12 for shipping is pretty brutal.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Day one, I love Psycho Pass, might even take the LE.

 

[AniHawk]

$12 for shipping is pretty brutal.

it's on amazon and gamestop

 

[DrunkShogun]

Will get the standard edition when it comes out in the uk. Should be a good vita break from ffxv.

 

[DryvBy]

$12 for shipping is pretty brutal.

It's on Amazon though which is free shipping. That's why I stick with them. And with Prime, it's getting that Prime discount.

 

[WickedLaharl]

If Urobuchi is only providing supervision i'm not touching it because of how absolutely awful Psycho Pass 2 turned out.

 

[Tizoc]

How's the english dub for the first season?

 

[dallow_bg]

Thankfully I didn't miss the LE this time from Amazon.

 

[Grim Patron]

Seems like Steam release may not be the same time as consoles because the press release mentions PS4 and Vita release dates for EU and NA and then mentions this line -

The game is also coming to Windows OS via Steam, and we will have more information on that at a later date.

 

[Acquiescence]

Hmmm, I'll opt for the PS4 version I think. The frame rate will undoubtedly be better than it is on a handheld.

 

[Li Kao]

Hmmm, I'll opt for the PS4 version I think. The frame rate will undoubtedly be better than it is on a handheld.

I mean, are there even gameplay sequences ?

 

[Mass_Pincup]

I thought it was a VN?

 

[Acquiescence]

I mean, are there even gameplay sequences ?

I want to see that text scroll by in silky-smooth 60fps.

 

[EvilKatarn]

I mean, are there even gameplay sequences ?

I thought it was a VN?

Some people prefer to read at 60FPS!

E: see my joke would have been delivered on time if I was posting on a 60FPS browser.

 

[Li Kao]

Some people prefer to read at 60FPS!

30 fps, more cinematic that way.

 

[Loudninja]

Seems like Steam release may not be the same time as consoles because the press release mentions PS4 and Vita release dates for EU and NA and then mentions this line -

Yeah I am confuse

 

[TheMan]

Is this a visual novel game?

 

[Li Kao]

Is this a visual novel game?

Yup.

 

[jrcbandit]

Was the Japanese release of the game well received? The second season of the anime was pure trash and not worth the time, I think most of the staff of the first season instead worked on the movie.

 

[SliceSabre]

I conflicted on this because I loved the first season of the anime but was not thrilled about the second.

Glad its localized either way though.

 

[lazyproblems]

I pre-ordered a copy of the game for PS4. Not sure if I'll keep it, I still need to watch the anime. I've heard the first season is good, second not so much. I'll have to get on watching it.

 

[calc84maniac]

Well, it takes place during the first season, so there's that.

 

[breakfuss]

Woooowwww. Really?!?? I'm hardly what you'd call an anime fan but I absolutely loved this show. Was completely hooked to season on Netflix.

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

In for a Vita copy, of course. Hopefully Amazon.ca doesn't take to long putting up the POs.

 

[Grim Patron]

I preordered the LE on both. Will probably get an extra Vita physical later or end up with Vita LE and PS4 standard. Lets see.

 

[Arkeband]

I pre-ordered a copy of the game for PS4. Not sure if I'll keep it, I still need to watch the anime. I've heard the first season is good, second not so much. I'll have to get on watching it.

The first season is incredible and has its own contained story, just ignore the second season unless you're extremely curious.

 

[BumblebeeCody]

At least I have PS4 now since this looks awesome!

 

[cj_iwakura]

How's the english dub for the first season?

Bad. Use JP voices.

 

[Lain]

I'll day 1 on Steam. Hopefully it's just as good as S2 of the show proper was.

 

[Luigi87]

Just reminded that I forgot to watch the anime when it was on Netflix.

... Dammit!

 

[Olengie]

Went for the Vita ver. Vita is life.

 

[sturgboski]

Damn, that 20% discount on Amazon is making it so much easier to buy stuff like this. Mmmm. Two LEs for two games on Vita in one day? Amazing. Thank God NISA and IFI are supporting Vita.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Did the Vita version as well.

 

[Accoun]

Well, I literally finished watching the first season like 15 minutes ago. What a coincidence.

 

[SOLDIER]

If Urobuchi is only providing supervision i'm not touching it because of how absolutely awful Psycho Pass 2 turned out.

That seems to be the magical buzzword that turns Urobuchi's name from excitement to dread.

"Story by Gen Urobuchi..."

(woo!)

"...(supervisor)"

(oh....)

Happened with the Madoka portable games too, aka "Isn't Homura just awesome and everyone else a complete and petty idiot you guys?"

But I believe this VN got positive buzz, so I'm a bit more hopeful. Also it takes place during season 1 so no appearance by the Ana Lucia equivalent of season 2.

 

[WickedLaharl]

Bad. Use JP voices.

Terrible suggestion. The english VA is fine.

 

[Shizuka]

I'm in like an ice cream.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

Terrible suggestion. The english VA is fine.

Yup. I thought the english VA in season 1 wasn't in any way "bad".
