IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER
Spike Chunsoft is a wonderful, wonderful company

Trailer for Zanki Zero, gameplay sorta looks like Etrian Odyssey from what I could see

 

[Mathrin]

They had me on Zanki Zero with Team Danganronpa. Time to get aboard another SC hype train! You can definitely that TeamDR have covered it in their "style", if that makes sense?

Pretty sure Spike Chunsoft are the saviours of localisation right now. Most of these games wouldn't have a look in at a western release if not for them, I'm sure.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

This is amazing in all ways, gonna have three VN preorders going as soon as Amazon updates the discount.

 

[E.T. Waifu]

Cool, but what about Psync?

 

[NovumAngel]

Cool, but what about Psync?

I had to look that up to remember what that was, totally forgot about that.

A reddit thread seem to think that *something* will be shown at GDC, Spike Chunsoft have already made their announcements but the conference itself still hasn't happened yet... so maybe there's still a chance to see something?

Yeah, I know about Funyarinpa's posts, they're good. It's just that after all the announcements today, I doubt we'll get anything about Psync, especiallly with the fact they released the schedule for the stream. You know, it'd be fine if we didn't get any info today

(not really i'm starving for it)​

, but the hashtags for Zero Escape was a shitty move just to hype up the stream. Oh and there were Danganronpa hashtags too, but at least they gave away merch, which is nice.

I'm sorry, i'm mad.

Oh I hadn't realized that they had a schedule put up for the stream, sorry about that.
And yeah I agree it sucks to not know anything, it's not a good way to get people interested in your game.

Looks like it could be real time turn based. So more like Legend of Grimrock and less like EO.

 

[ExpandKong]

More Steins Gate is always good.

 

[mishka_]

Looking forward to Steinsgate Elite.

 

[michaelius]

Is SG Elite something new or retelling of same story?

 

[GrayFoxRJ]

They are streaming right now on twitch

 

[E.T. Waifu]

Aaaaaand we got nothing. I expected that, but i'm still disappointed.

 

[Speedwagon]

Same story with Anime cutscenes IIRC

 

[Battlechili]

Steins;Gate 0 is coming to PC via Steam!
https://gematsu.com/2018/03/steinsgate-0-coming-pc-via-steam-may-8

With all these 5pb titles, I wonder if Spike Chunsoft will ever bring over Punch Line

 

[NovumAngel]

Aaaaaand we got nothing. I expected that, but i'm still disappointed.

 

[bufkus]

wow it's amazing that 428 is being localized. i have my Wii copy still but will definitely get the eng version on steam.

 

[E.T. Waifu]

I mean, that's great and all. But I knew the game was in development hell or something. What I was asking for was a trailer or literally any other kind of info about it.

 

[Graven]

Steins;Gate have my interest, despite having played it already.

Hmmm yeah I don't really know what's happening with this now, siliconera have had to "correct" themselves regarding that story.
Spike are interested in bringing over more VN's but haven't specifically said they're bringing over Robotics;Notes
