STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT is officially confirmed to release for NA on October 29, 2026 now https://www.spike-chunsoft.com/news/steins-gate-re-boot-pre-orders-available-now/ But the question is why is there a delay of over 2 months from the JP release date? Especially when the JP version will include English? And why is the “limited” edition for English so shit compared to JP??
>>739707884the better question is why is this shit even a thing in the first place?
>>739708252Mages is burning money and on the brink of bankruptcy and need something to turn a profit and an S;G remake is an obvious thing to do
>>739708681That means their non-nintendo projects before this weren't profitable since they had the highest sales with nintendo's detective club games.
>>739707884>JP version will include Englishhow difficult is getting a japanese account and buying a game from the store on the switch 2?
>>739708873Trivial, you just make an account and buy Japanese eshop gift cards online.
>>739707884>remake of a VN
>>739708764They botched the fuck out of the YU-NO remakei wonder if they sabotaged it with that art because of seethe toward it being better than Stein's;Gate
>>739708764Did those detective club games even do well? I’m a Nintendo fan and no one talked about them and I didn’t even buy them because they were too expensive and short compared to other equivalent VNsAnd since they’re published by Nintendo, Nintendo would’ve gotten most of the revenue anyway, no
>>739709035There's alot of VNs that have terrible and dated art. While S;G does look like shit I don't think it needed a remake. When you get into mdos or early type moon or higurashi though it's clearly bad to the point of dragging the story down.
https://twitter.com/distantvalhalla/status/2059727610804949443https://twitter.com/blockwonkel/status/2059684568446206439Oh yeah, another reason for it to exist, both of the original translators for the original VN PC version, Steiner and Blick Winkel, are the translators for RE:BOOT as well; and given the quality of the original PC translation, RE:BOOT should have a good translation too
>>739709826Clannad remake when? The original art is so terrible that it’s made people online feel like creeps for just looking at it; let alone playing it
>>739710135The art is bad but not because of what people are bitching about. I'd take a remake for sure.
>>739710338Did you forget the recent stuff on twitter where looking at Clannad made someone feel like they were a pedo?
>>739709389They did but just like you said, Nintendo must have taken most of the money
>>739710535No maybe my post wasn't clear enough. I agree they should remake it even though you're being sarcastic, but not because people(retards) on twitter are crying that clannad is some how pedophilia. Injust think the art looks like shit, same for the anime.
>>739710624Should J even try them? The first two games are old and faithful remakes of very old games and have never ever gotten discounts because Nintendo; and I don’t think the third is any more reasonably priced with regard to value, no?
>>739710730Is Key in a strong enough position to be able to make a Clannad remake?
>demake of a fucking VNthe image of smart japanese people l had no longer exist, also be prepared for censored fanservice
>>739707884whats the difference from steins gate elite
>>739710731They are good but way too basic for the price, at most it’s like playing the investigation sections of AA but yeah the price sucksIf you get them through humble bundle it’s cheaperEmio gets discounted more frequently or you could look for a physical used somewhere
>>739707884Steins Gate was a masterpiece, it doesn't need a reboot.
i still haven't seen the anime of stein's gate 0
>>739711391You get to pay $40 to play it again instead of what you have already paid multiple times already.
>>739711847why would you watch the anime of either of these if you already palyed the vn
>>739712429i have not done that
why does the xbox version release before the other console versions
So what's the actually selling point for this? Cause I see no reason why this needs to exist. The original already has perfectly good production values.
>>739715558Mages needs money and nothing but Steins Gate and licensed games like Famicom Detective Club sells any good
>>739715963Blame Chaos;Child for opening at 1,415 units sold during launch week
But what do you think about the differences between the original (left) and Reboot (right)
>rebootAh shit they're gonna retcon Kurisu's death
Do you think the weird visual “glitches” in the backgrounds of RE:BOOT will actually be relevant to the plot and new route/ending? Look at the weird stray pixels scattered around the background and the distorted clock here, they’re there in gameplay
>>739712429The 0 anime is technically a follow-up to the VN, actually
>>739707884i don't support companies with such a psychotic anti-piracy stance
>>739707884>actually wanting a woke agenda-fuel trannylation that butchers the original version's plot just to push political rhetoricWhy don't you faggots all kill yourselves?
>>739720047fuck you
>>739711453>Steins Gate was a masterpiecelmao no
>>739707884I've read Goosebumps books with a better plot than this cartoon
>>739718095it looks like paint marks from like when you bump a painted object on a wall, it's probably a way to capture the old S;G style that looked muddy, which actually was just them emulating huke's style from the late 2000s, you can look it up and see for yourself, all that grunge look in S;G was never original, it was just huke
>>739722978But look at the official comparison, those weird colored lines streaking across parts of the image like the monitor and the cupboard as well as the distorted clock are entirely new to Reboot, the equivalent original background has none of thatSo could it mean something for the story?
>>739718095TIME JANNIES CONFIRMED
>>739723115KEK new timelines would actually make it worth buying for me
>>739713075Xbox and Steam don't have any physical releases, so they release at the same time as Japan.
>>739718095>>739723085Last game had dead real kurisu talking to maho through the computerin fact it had an entire kurisu living in a computerthey are probably in a simulation or something
>>739707884Steins;Gate was never good, no point in spending any money on this.
>>739723538>they are probably in a simulation or somethingWasn’t that already the whole point of Anonymous Code? Which of course also applies to the other SciAdv games in their world layers?
>>739707884I haven't seen anyone talking well about the artstyle change. I know that artists change their style over time but it looks really off here
>>739723693The signature look of the original was Huke brushing a rusted metal pattern over everything. I'm guessing he's not into doing that anymore even though it made for a genuinely cool look
>>739723693https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kW0BO2yWd4I mean look at this shit, doesn’t this look uncanny as hell? Especially the moving sprites?
>honest to god was hoping they would make a sequel/spin off where they save rintaro and everyone else at end of time>it is just a demake
>>739723859what are they gonna do? have two rintaros and two suzuha and two mayushi?theyre dead bro
>>739723848>check comments>WHERE IS DANGANRONPA Kek
>>739723859>>739723983Didn’t the final scene of the final episode of the S;G 0 anime address that?
>>739723848These VA's are getting old man.
>>739723983>>739724063Been a while i have played but wasn't the end of stein gate 0 where rintaro meets mayuri and suzuha at end of time? They basically go there to prevent the world line from adjusting. But i was under the impression that they would just live their own lives somehow, or get back to a world line where their presence wouldn't fuck it up.
Also, compared to the JP website, the English website is just missing PS4 as a platform meaning that the NA version of S;G Reboot will likely not release on PS4 at all…..Which doesn’t make sense at all, right?? JP is getting the PS4 version digitally and it includes English, why would they skip the English PS4 release??
>>739724665It happens.
>>739723085Where's future gadget 4 moad snake the claymore? >>739723693It's hit or miss at times but maybe they wanted to try something to appeal to anime fans? Huke's art style in the original has that uncanny feeling at times which I really like but can see why some might not like it.
>>739725406I wish Huke’s art style still looked like it used to…
>>739707884I already read this shit in 2010
>>739725406the new ending depends on if they have created the moad snake or not
EL. PSY. KONGROO.
How the fuck are we not done with S;G yet?They tell one fucking half-good time travel story with a million plot holes and the most obnoxious cast of """quirky""" anime characters imaginable, complete with the loser self-insert who somehow gets the hot girl in the end, and we have to endure their shit for actual decades.Do people really line up to buy rerelease/remake/remaster number 86 of the same VN you've read before when the source is this generic gray slop?
Is this true? Is it too expensive?
>>739730060Vns are niche so publishers jew people much as possible.Be glad that is only 60bux instead of japanese premium of 100 dollah.
>>739730418If only they bothered to do any of the cool limited edition and super limited edition stuff JP gets
>>739729707You got filtered anon.If you can't even appreciate the original S;G you don't deserve to have an opinion on this.
>>739707884Maybe it will be good
>>739708252Maybe it's a precursor to the next one in the series. the one that was announced a couple years ago.
>>739707884>Reddit;Gate
>>739709035The Tsukihime remake was kino. So it can definitely work under the right circumstances.
Why is it a complaint that a VN has no English dub, this seems to be a common complaint with S;G Reboot in particular and idk why
>>739708681I believe this only because I've never seen anyone who seems to give a shit about A;C
>>739720047Is it? I only watched the animu. I assume the VN goes more into detail about that chie-looking bitch who apparently also has reading steiner.
>>739735341What was there was good but it's 2 routes out of 5 (actually supposed to be 6 now since Sacchin is getting a route). Fuck Nasu for making 30% of a remake. Red Garden never ever.>>739735479That's because A;C fucking sucks and the twist retroactively affects every single vn in the series negatively. Sasuga Chiyomaru. He needs Nitro+ to do the writing for him otherwise he's just incompetent.
>>739735747The 0 anime is essentially the final iteration of a near-infinite series of worldlines of the events of 0 where each worldline builds on the next all on the long road to the final Okabe who can initiate Operation Skuld and also addresses some plot holes from the VN…I think Kiri Kiri Basara has a better explanation of this than I can
>>739735451They had a survey on whether having a dub is a selling point to fans and it the results heavily skewed towards "don't care about dubs". They're a minority.
>>739717443Right looks very sterile and as if they used a picture, put a filter over it.
>>739707884Amazing that anyone still cares about this dogshit series.
Is it okay to fuck your bro's daughter?
>>739737032Always.
>NSW>no PS4we ps4 gamers are the most oppressed group of people on earthyou just know they are doing it on purpose because the dogshit NovidyaStation 5 is not selling shit and most games would easily run on it
>>739738781JP is getting PS4 digital and the JP releases include the other languages, I really don’t understand why the EN releases are skipping PS4
The franchise is over
>>739707884I heard they made Kurisu's boobs bigger...How big?
>>739741636Look at this comparison
>>739742406Bottom looks more grabable.
>>739708873piss easyt. bought bravely default from the JP store because it is uncensored and has english text.
jesus christ how many times did this got a remaster/remakelast time i check they're using the anime scenes and turned it into a whole VN
>>739707884Why would I buy it, though. I know the story, I know the tweest, I have enjoyed it.Why would I want the exact same with redrawn CG and minor adjustments?
>>739744330You need to buy eshop cards now though.Those have a massive markup unless you can buy from Amazon JP which also recently restricts non-JP accounts.
>>739744930ah fuck, i didn't know that's a thing now.Yeah, there are other ways but as you said they seem to be about 25% more than what the actual conversion from JPY to my currency currently is. Blows.
>>739707884shit;stein
Not a remake.
>>739707884Route where I text Luka's mom in the past and tell her to eat a lot of meat while pregnant, so that Luka will turn into a gigachad WHEN
>>739746674I still don't know why they started region locking shit again. They're making people buy markup Eshop/iTunes cards from 3rd party sources instead of letting us pay directly to them.
>>739708252If theres one thing Mages knows well its releasing new versions of S;G
>>739708252Chiyomaru cannot write a Steins;Gate sequel to save his life.The first one got cancelled so he wrote Zero. Then he made Elite and now this.
Why would you want to play old vn though? This troupe had been exploited to max.
>>739709826>>739710135>>739710338>>739710535Glad to see /v/ becoming majorty tourists and normalfags, which is why opinions like this garbage are being said so openly. Finally this website is dying.
>>739752038Seethe more tranny those VNs look like shit.
>>739709018>>739744930>eshop cards>scalpers pricedude. then what are my options then?
>>739711391different art based on the original and apparently there is going to be new routes, possible they might expand small bits of lore like they did in Elite.
>>739707884oh that sucks.i liked the original vn and anime and nothing else after that.
>>739707884YOOOOOOO THIS IS SO LIT I CAN'T WAIT TO RE READ RICK AND MORTY WITH ANIME GIRLS
>>739753641>melty this hard over ugly, dated artEmbarrassing
>>739751726When are they going to do a single good VN?
>>739707884why did they style this advertisement like a Warez release? I was so confused, I thought I was looking at ASCII text.
>>739724665Same reason you won't find the ps3 og game translated even if it had JP release or SG elite PSVita/xbox versionThe publisher isn't interested
>>739752469Fly to Japan directly to buy eshop cards?We're forced to buy from 3rd party vendors now due to JP's retardation. They'd rather protect the foreign eshops instead of their own.
what happened to 'Steins;???'
>>739755325Wasn't that the gacha?
why did huke make nakabachi look like a gigachad in the remake
>>739755325they need to fund it with the reboot but it won't sell so it won't be released
>>739754803That one is actually decent. It's still purplesoft ge but it's short so they could not fuck it up so much. It's like short modern monkey's paw/stein;gate.The plot and ending is cliche but this kind of story are always kino when execute correctly which this one does.
>>739710135>>739709826Bait bait bait bait bait
>>739752418Shut up troon>>739752038Trvth nvke
>>739760475Back from your 3day already?
