Zero Escape 3 is "Zero Time Dilemma"; Logo and Key Art Revealed

Very true. As much as I liked it, and lamented the change when it was first announced, going with that ultimately would've been a poor fit.

People getting their hopes up like crazy in this thread, which I can understand, but I myself just hope for some simple things.
Like this game featuring Junpei, Sigma, Phi and Akane while concluding the trilogy in a very satisfying way.
Man I'm so hyped. Also so glad I pre-ordered the game + watch for Vita.
Now I should also pre-order it for 3DS, now that hacking it for region-free goodness is so easy.

Can this just be a general Zero Escape excitement thread? Because I'm super excited! Plus it's coming out in less than a year, in the summer no less, perfect timing for me.
Zero Time Dilemma eh? I told myself I wouldn't look through the words from the teaser site, but it would be kinda fun to see if any of the words have any connections to the new title. Maybe when I'm bored one evening.

Well it's a good thing that opinions exist, yeah? Good.

Just noticed the caged blue bird necklace that Luna wore on the lady in the artwork. Good stuff, either way. Can't wait.

Wouldn't hold my breath. Models tend to be somewhat cheaper than quality 2d art of anywhere near the same animation levels, and that's probably a big concern with this game.

Maybe they will go 2D and have less animations? Honestly would prefer that.

It makes stuff a lot harder, even beyond characters. For example puzzle rooms need to be redrawn from scratch for every viewing angle with 2d art, whereas rotating the view in a 3d model room is almost trivial once it's made.
They could maybe go with 2d characters and 3d rooms but that then I feel it makes any interaction between the two weird.
Plus any 2d art needs to be scalable between vita and 3ds. Not insurmountable, but again something that might be easier with models.
Basically I expect it to be 3d models just for feasibility reasons. 2d art would be great but I don't see it happening.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
If they had a t-shirt with that awesome logo on it, i'd definitely buy it. There's so much going on with it.

I will accept nothing short of a choose your own adventure book.
Oh COME ON.
I can't believe they're giving the shaft to international pre-orders like that. Is there no way to avoid this bullshit?Linkstrikesback
Member
Oh COME ON.
I hope/assume they'll fufill the ones the orders they've already accepted.
If they send me the package without the watch... Ehh, I'd still be down for that. I am not buying it as a download only title when I can import the vita game anyway.

There will be hell to pay if Amazon fucks me out of my watch.

The character designer is different this time, hence the change in styles. We don't know who it is yet.

I very much doubt it. We've only seen the one piece of teaser art, but I'm very sure the actual in game art will be more anime styled.

Not a fan of the designs in 999/VLR.... SO THIS WORKS FOR ME.

I'm pretty excited about this one.
One strange thing I noticed. I pre-ordered a copy of the 3DS/Vita version [with the watch] on Amazon.com way back when it was made available, but upon checking the listing today, I noticed that there's a mention that it only ships within the US. I live in Canada, and my order hasn't been cancelled [yet?], I'm just hoping they follow through with it.
I don't believe the watches were even made available here at all, and I passed up on pre-orders where I could have locked in this game at a cheaper price specifically because I had them already pre-ordered on Amazon.
Oh COME ON.
Don't worry. It listed that while the preorders were open too. The thing is, if something really CAN'T be shipped to you, Amazon warns you whenever you check the total bill at the cart page (something along the lines of "One or more items in your cart can't be shipped to your selected shipping address."). I secured an order back then when it was saying the same thing, and I recently updated it with AmazonGlobal Priority Shipping without any hitches. Don't think there will be problems.

How can you not appreciate dat Kinu Nishimura goodness
I do hope the game'll keep some of the comical tones form the previous games.
GIMME A P!
The digital-only release in Europe is a bit of a letdown. I was planning on getting it for 3DS, just like 999 and VLR. If the price is right, I'll import it for Vita. If it ends up being more expensive, I'll get it on 3DS.
On the other hand, region-free 3DS is now a reality, so maybe I'll just go ahead and import it for 3DS

It was Luna with the necklace, not Alice.
I'd like 3D models with 2D backgrounds.
Not gonna lie, there have been times where I get to that point in life where I just want to be gone, then I remember that I absolutely need to know the ending to the ZE saga.
My friend pointed out that this looks like equipment for a lobotomy, designed to restrict all movement of the patient. If that is indeed the case,
would this somehow be related to Sigma's abilities? Could Diana be targeting a very specific region of his brain?
This game can't come soon enough.
Yeah... It just doesn't feel right.
It's why I was hoping for her to still be the main one on board with some non-Nishimura key art, like the haccan stuff for Trails in the Sky. Still, this looks great and reminiscent of some older Japanese fantasy/sci-fi art and book covers (maybe this new person IS one of those artists?) so it's definitely a great alternative rather than, say, downgrading to ultra generic anime-style art or whatever.

Pretty disappointed by digital only in Europe too. I will have to import. I just hope the japanese voice acting will be on the card, and not to download (like the last Danganronpa I think). Otherwise, being forced to reset the Vita and change account just to play the game will be really bothersome

It's one the things that's pleased me the most, ironically.
VLR's designs were pretty bad. But I love this new piece of promo art.
The art style shift IS a bit jarring. At the same time, the old designs were...eh...999 was hit or miss (Belly Dancing Programmers, everyone!), while VLR just went off the deep end: Circus Ring Leaders, Playboy Girls, and Qwaaark.
There is one thing that bothers me about this though: It kinda has a "Saw" feeling to it. I wasn't a big fan of Saw; I actually liked how the puzzles themselves were actually benign, and that it was either the time limits or restraining devices that caused trouble. Granted, I do have a limit for how much character idiocy I can stand.
That one conversation in 999 where everyone freaks out about being left behind was numbing, and the entirety of VLR was an exercise in cast idiocy.

Whoopsidoodle, you're right. It's been a while, so I mixed the names up.

He reminds me of Chris from Resident Evil 5.
(Honestly I was thinking the same thing but not saying it, since he still kinda looks like Sigma, but with more realistic clothing.)

Hopefully the art looks better when adapted into the game. Not digging the one piece we've seen so far. It's too different from the previous games. It feels out of place.
I'm there for the story, and I implicitly trust Uchikoshi, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that art didn't make me a bit nervous. Title and logo are aces, though.

The quality is not even the issue, it's the fact that you can't even turn the damn voices off.
