BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
That semicolon placement is giving me an aneurysm.

One of the very first times the tag is sort of wrong.

Who will be bringing what to the PS3?

I hear good things about this title. Hope it gets translated someday.

Whats with the fucking semicolon?
It's a visual novel in part about time travel. It's also widely regarded as one of the best visual novels yet released. Don't read the story description on Wikipedia as it basically spoils the entire thing.
The usual caveats about visual novels apply - crawlingly slow text, a variant on the LOL ANIMU aesthetic and characters, limited interaction (although more than many VNs) - but it's reputedly very good indeed.

Thank you to the mod who changed the title.
Nice news though.

What's with the missing apostrophe?

It's supposed to be possessive?

Both the possessive and plural forms of "what" require an apostrophe.
Also, I just checked the iOS price. $35?!

I thought you were referring to the thread title.

Semicolon is supposed to be there folks. Damn, I really hope they can bring this and Chaos;Head over.

"What" does not have a plural or possessive form. "What's" is a contraction of "what" + "is." You were right that it needs an apostrophe though.

I have played the Japanese 360 version. It is good. Even with my very limited Japanese skills (and a lot of guides).
I still need to play Hiyoku Renri no Darling, I have that still sealed.
Don't expect any of those games to ever come to the West.

Does anyone know how the anime stacks up to the VN. I was thinking of just watchin the anime when it was announced since I figured Steins;Gate would likely never be localized

I never read the manga but the anime was fucking great.
The anime is great, however I didn't read the VN so I can't compare the two. It was one of my top 3 shows last year.

I thought the anime turned shit and handled the concept of time travel pretty terrible, but I'm in the minority there so I would still recommend at least giving it a try.
Same here, I watched the anime, but haven't played the actual visual novel outside the demo. The voice actors are the same between the two, and the intro song (though different) is also sung by the same artist. So I'd imagine it's pretty faithful outside of the different visual style.
I really wish this would get picked up for a US release. At the very least, importing the PS3 ones will be easier.

I doubt it. Not even the iOS version of Steins;Gate is in English, and that would be easier to push through cert than a PS3 version.

Would love an official English release, but it'll never happen. At least the anime was fantastic.
Why are people acting like this is the first time anybody has ever seen the game's title and its fun-loving semicolon?
And seriously, somebody bring this over. It'll totally tank financially, but... wait, I probably shouldn't say that when trying to convince publishers to give it a chance.

Well they also made Chaos;Head right? I think the semicolon is just a thing with them.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Maybe they can release it via Corpse Party style: sell it for 19.99 (if that's possible) and release it via PSN.
Consider me interested. Thanks for the explanation.

The anime is AMAZING. Seems to be a favorite in the AOTY thread too, so I know I'm not alone on that one. Haven't read the VN though.

Maybe this belongs in another thread, but are they just impossible to be profitable here? Has no one (companies such as JAST, etc.) ever tried to pick one up for translation and maybe sell them on PS Store?
I'm being very naive here, aren't I?
