Ha! Oh, yeah!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.Uchikoshi confirmed this will have a 999 vibe to it instead of VLR
dog is zero
Cool that it has the vibe from VLR. While I think VLR was more consistently better than 999 and far improved in the gameplay department, the general tone and atmosphere of 999 and final ending made me prefer it overall.
This is Summer 2016 right? Is that US only or Europe as well? I don't mind importing if it takes a while. Heck I imported VLR because I wanted the English voice acting.

Yessss. I figured it would be, as this release is definitely more geared toward the west, but good to have some confirmation.
Nice catch.
It's definitely the blue bird in a cage necklace, so that's gotta be Diana.

Dog in a spaceship, no doubt.

this is even better news than the game's existence
Me too but the concept art just screams (bad) 3D models.
That isn't a surprise. The reason they went with a lighter tone with VLR was because they felt that 999 was too dark for the Japanese market. VLR ended being even less successful in Japan (leading to ZE3 taking this long to get made), so there's no reason to stick with that decision. Still, this game is looking to be already better than VLR. I do hope that they don't decide to leave major plot points hanging though.Uchikoshi confirmed this will have a 999 vibe to it instead of VLR
what
Kazutaka Kodaka isn't, Uchikoshi is. Kodaka is there as a friend and said that he'd like to work with Uchikoshi on a game some day, but it's just moral support in the case of ZE3.
Kazutaka Kodaka isn't. Of course he wouldn't be.
That tease was cool, though. Wonder what Uchikoshi and Kodaka together would come up with.

He's just there to talk about Uchikoshi. No big involvement in the actual project.
The creator of the black and white bear game.
The Danganronpa director, not Uchikoshi.
I wouldn't want a crossover, but I'd love to see a collaboration
I really love dr's styyyyyyyyyle, but it almost always falls apart on the actual game design - it always leads the player far too much
"He loves women"
At least 4 more women confirmed
For Danganronpa 3?.
Ma' gad.he really does
Ze3
I was obviously joking about the number of women lol
As soon as Hooters entered the conversation, my mind went blank.
Have they talked at all about how making this game makes financial sense? Weren't we told that the series was unprofitable? Unless it has had a huge tail or the iOS port did really well (in which case it's strange an iOS version is not announced), why would another direct sequel be expected to do any better?
The keyword here is Japan. It was unsuccessful in Japan, while Aksys kept reiterating how the series did very well in North America.
I caught a bit of it, but they said that basically when Uchikoshi tweeted that ZE3 might not happen, they talked about this and worked with Aksys on this since there was a western audience. I didn't catch all of it though.

I think they talked about how fan demand made them reevaluate things and changed their mind on it.

ZE3 was actually not going to happen. Uchikoshi took up Punchline to show fans that ZE wasn't continuing. The fan and news response to that made the higher ups reconsider.
The first two games were designed with Japanese gamers in mind, but they're more popular outside of Japan, so this title will aim more at Western gamers. This should mean no more stuff like VLR Clover's uguuisms, and more old-fashioned science fiction elements.

Really digging how we will have 3 games with 3 different art styles. Although I pretty much shreked in happiness at the end of VLR when
Maybe something like this again?
You saw the old-ish style anime portrait of Akane at the end
Punchline instead of ZE3...I'm glad we're not in that timeline.
