Teaser trailer is pretty cool though. Holding off on a pre-order because I want to see if there will be a special edition. Also, the little pull chain at the start of the site is neat. Been refreshing to see what different options there are." First NA teaser trailer and screenshots are now up at http://www.catherinethegame.com/ No voice acting in this one, so no hint at the English cast yet. "
Catherine
Game » consists of 14 releases. Released Feb 17, 2011
The first game developed by Atlus for the PS3/Xbox 360. Made by the Persona Team, The game is an "adult oriented" action-adventure/horror game with puzzle platforming stages.
Catherine Is Coming
"Any news for a release in England? "
All I know:
Atlus doesn't decide what is released outside of Japan and NA. Some other publisher will have to pick it up for EU, so I guess no one really knows anything about it right now.
I could be wrong, like usual, of course.
"Just import it on PS3 from VGP or something, it runs better and it's region free. "
Not everyone has a PS3. And wasn't the difference between the PS3 and X360 versions minimal in every way?
Either way, if this isn't released in EU (or is region free) I'll be a sad panda. Feels like Culdcept Saga all over again. :(
Also, Catherine is coming?
I thought Vincent's whole problem started because Catherine came.
So to speak...
I'm glad that Catherine will have a US release, but I'm still not sure if I'm going to be picking this game up. I'm most interested in Catherine's story, as it's hard to judge how fun a block puzzle game is from a video.
" Awesome!INCEPTION
@animateria said:" Also, Catherine is coming? I thought Vincent's whole problem started because Catherine came. So to speak... "I'm greatly disturbed that I see what you did there. "
Anyway, totally saw this one. If you're subscribed to Atlus' newsletter, you'd have received two pink-colored e-mails, one for St. Valentine's Day and one simply stating "Do you still like us...?" For those of you not... surprise!
Was hoping for a budget-price on this. 60 seems a bit steep for the content I've seen of the gameplay.
I wonder how the localization team is going to work around issues of ambiguity with the two Catherines. As I understood it, it was going to be a central plot device that there is no differentiation between the Japanese spelling of Katherine and Catherine and so that would create confusion and what not. Maybe they could substitute the K or C in those moments of ambiguity for a symbol like...
This: lc but like together? like a k with rounded edges or something.
How do you think it will work?
" @G3RHRT: Maybe the ambiguity isn't all that important. Or maybe they'll just blur out "Catherine/Katherine" in a subtitle when a character says their name. "I'd say he ambiguity is quite important in a few scenes, so at least for those I hope they figure a censoring method out for the C/K.
" Finally, kinda weird how Jeff thinks Persona 4 was "out for a long time." It had been out for exactly two months in America when they started the Endurance Run. It didn't come out in Europe until a month after they started! Yeah Persona games would reach their sales limits faster due to being more niche titles, but it's not a very long time at all. "I fucking love you for making this point. Everytime I hear Jeff himself or anyone else use the "we don't want to spoil anything" or "Persona had already been out for awhile" lines I just scream inside my head "It had been out for two months in the states and not even out in Europe yet by that point. What the fuck are you talking about!?"
And as for there "probably never being another Endurance Run", that's just nonsense. Unless they're deliberately being stubborn about doing one, that statement runs contrary to Jeff saying that they just sort of happen when the stars line up and everything falls into place. If that's the case, it's impossible to declare something so serious like "never again!"

I'd solve it by calling both characters "Catherine". I don't think the part where her name is writing with a "k" is super relevant." @FluxWaveZ said:

Given that two web pages right now are /cat and /kat along with the names in the trailer I'm guessing that is not happening" @G3RHRT:

" I've always wondered why there is soo much hype for this game on GB, i mean yea ill be getting it, but i thought "anime is for jerks"? "The problem there is that you seem to be taking the 'anime is for jerks' thing seriously. :D Anyone who genuinely thinks that 'all anime is bad' is a little on the silly side.
The GB community just loves stylish and unique games with crazy storylines!
Cool, I'll probably import this to EU then for the ps3,
although the PS3 is currently banned in Europe so who knows what'll happen..

fuck just got spoiled all the plotpoints of catrine in the comments on the trailer on igns channel that fucking sad guess i wont pick it up after all also yo that game is much more fucked up than you can possible think
this is a mindset of someone who doesnt understand animes and probably doesnt give it a chance. if you dont like it, fair enough, your entitled to your opnion, but labeling someone a 'jerk' for liking anime is absurd" I've always wondered why there is soo much hype for this game on GB, i mean yea ill be getting it, but i thought "anime is for jerks"?

i dont watch anime religiously, but of all the anime i have watched, it has far impressed me more than any tv drama i have seen
you should break the habit of hating on things you dont understand
and i assume the GB community are more hype than others, probably because of the P4 endurance run :)
that being said, i want this game
" @m1k3 said:Thats just a saying on giantbomb, while annoying they are still getting the game, nor did they hate on any anime... They were just asking the question because anytime anime IS brought up you get that statment and people hating on it, yet all of giantbomb is now rallying around Catherine.. you see?this is a mindset of someone who doesnt understand animes and probably doesnt give it a chance. if you dont like it, fair enough, your entitled to your opnion, but labeling someone a 'jerk' for liking anime is absurd i dont watch anime religiously, but of all the anime i have watched, it has far impressed me more than any tv drama i have seen you should break the habit of hating on things you dont understand and i assume the GB community are more hype than others, probably because of the P4 endurance run :) that being said, i want this game "" I've always wondered why there is soo much hype for this game on GB, i mean yea ill be getting it, but i thought "anime is for jerks"?
