So why are they changing the sprites again? The first Alchemy sprites were the best non-Ryukishi ones in my opinion.

>>12736866
If you're talking about this ps3/vita game, they're just porting the ds assets (literally the 2.0 ps2 sprites and more bgs/cgs) to 1080p that came out in 2008.

If you're talking about the Steam release, that's because they couldn't get the rights for the Alchemist assets, so they decided to simply hire a (hentai) artist to do the job instead.

I still don't get why they aren't also doing the new Hou arcs. I'd kill to hear Hinamizawa Bus stop voiced.

>>12736901

2nd image going left to right still best

>>12745069

>>12744177
Probably won't happen, but maybe they'll announce that later.

>>12745182

Or maybe it'll be DLC.

>>12748481
vanilla, Mangagamer Steam, Alchemist ps2, Alchemist ds/ps3/vita.

A lot of new stuff from Sui just came out. There are way too much images to post here, so I'll just dump the tumblr links :

What is the extent of the content in Sui? What is there besides "oh Vita/PS3 release"?

>>12751722

It'll have all of the arcs from the PS2 and DS in one single release, and as such, the redone sprites and extra event CGs. The DS-exclusive arcs will also be fully voiced this time around.

>>12751722

It'll have all of the arcs from the PS2 and DS in one single release, and as such, the redone sprites (pic related) and extra event CGs. The DS-exclusive arcs will also be fully voiced this time around.

Alchemist also said that the soundtrack will have over 100 songs, including some new ones.

I already played the DS version ages ago. I thought it already included everything that Matsuri had? Did the DS version omit something?

>>12752479

There were a few arcs that the DS version omitted, yeah. For example; there's one where K1, Shion, and Rena decide to kill Satoko's uncle, and all hell breaks loose.

>>12752479
>>12752555
And the arc where Kei just tries to ignore the secrets of the village. The end is kinda the same as the exclusive arc of Kai's anime but with Mion instead of Satoko.
Besides those two arcs, it will also have the swimming pool arc that was only available in the anime and as a light novel until then. We didn't get any information about Outbreak or Bus stop tough

Any news about Space WTC?

>>12752738
Wasn't that arc real short? Like it just fades to black at some point and BOOM the end.

Any news on Steam release?

Any idea on when they're releasing the OPs for Sui instead of the upscaled OPs of Matsuri? Or even upscales of Kizuna's OPs?

>>12760855
The release of the remasterized Openings of Matsuri weren't announced, I doubt we'll get any date for the real opening of Sui and maybe the HQ ones of Kizuna.

So how about that blu-ray release? Both seasons are out now.

>>12761486
It's shit.

>>12766835
Is the BD version on the left? If so, that's not much of a difference.

>>12767003
Yea, afraid so. And s2 better not be an upscale also, it has to be in 1080p. I'll just take a guess.

New page for the Steam game :
http://store.steampowered.com/app/310360/

>>12768864
If they're not already familiar with when they cry, then no one is buying this based off this page.

>>12768864
They're not redoing backgrounds? I though they're gonna redo backgrounds too...

>>12768984
Wow, you'd think they'd at least do that. Although all I really care about is an option to use original sprites and a better translation.

>>12769007
>Although all I really care about is an option to use original sprites and a better translation.
I really wish I could use the original sprites and redrawn backgrounds... I have nothing against Ryukishi's art (it's kinda cute), but the way they do backgrounds pisses me off.

>>12769015

The original backgrounds are just photographs with a quick filter applied to them.

>>12768864

I really hope they'll draw their own original covers based off of R07's.

>>12769034
I know, I know, it just sucks. If he simply left the photos without the filter it would look much better.

>>12769015
Don't worry, the game will be easily moddable, the programmer clearly stated that. Backgrounds won't be a problem since the ps3 game with 1080p graphics will come out in March along with the Alchemist sprites and CGs.


>>12769044
This.

On a side note, began updating my patch for the french edition to 1280x720 since we'll get Alchemist's assets in HQ soon.
The sprites and backgrounds here are just the 480p ones resized for the new resolution, hence the fact they're blurry and deformed, it's just in wait until they get replaced by the HQ files.


Not really sure if making an english version is still relevant tough, modding the Steam game may be a better idea, will depend how much we can mod it I guess. I wonder if it will be possible to switch the ratio to 16:9.

>>12769156
Also, I began that, so I guess I could make a patch for fix some of MG's sprites after all. Maybe not for characters with many sprites (already had my way with Kizuna's sprites, and it's fucking long), but ones like Chie/Tomitake/Oishi/Takano shouldn't be a problem.

>>12769168
*to fix

>>12769156
Also, here is how the 720p main menu looks.

From Doddler's ask.fm :
>While looking at Higurashi's new Steam page, I saw that it has the OS X/Linux symbols ! http://i.imgur.com/59rG3nk.png?1 So is it confirmed ? Since I don't think you ever said anything about that before.
> Since Higurashi is running in Unity, the goal is to be able to build it for all 3 platforms. Still working on making it happen, but it should be good!

>>12769176
I hope you don't play this shit french translation, pbsaffran can't trad for shit.

>>12769168

You think you could fix Rena's collar? It may be tedious, but at least it's a simple fix.

>>12769290
Well, maybe, but like I said it's annoying to fix characters with a lot of sprites, since I have to put all the expressions on one body trough layers, then save each of them manually.

Would expecting the steam release before the end of January be ridiculous?

>>12769632

Not really. They said they'll most likely release it sometime this month.

Why is R07 such a fedora tipper?

WE

NEED TO GO

HIGHER

so, the PS3/Vita rerelease is going to be the definitive version, right

>>12745069
i agree with you on that

>>12749904
Akasaka looks like shit.

>>12766835
Is it better quality? I can't tell.

PS3 one isn't coming stateside is it?

>>12774247
What the fuck makes you think that's going to happen?

http://ask.fm/MangaGamerStaff/answer/121276845042

>We won't be redrawing the covers, but we slapped a banner together in paint for Steam!

God fucking dammit. Nobody outside of the fanbase is gonna play the game based on a picture of a random anime girl and a description on how VNs work.

>>12780635
It's almost as if they don't give a shit.

>>12780781

Well they should, considering how much money they must have sunk into getting redrawn sprites.

>>12769044
Ryukishi's art may be shit, but his composition is great. I love his covers.

>>12736901
>they decided to simply hire a (hentai) artist to do the job instead.

It's stupid to characterize artists like that. Most artists draw porn at some point (hell even r07, as incompetent as he is, has drawn porn). Just because an artist work on eroge doesn't mean they're incapable of drawing things that aren't porn and it's an idiotic argument to claim that because someone has drawn porn at some point, everything they draw is tainted.

Whatever happened to nipaa0imi or whatever his name was.

>>12780635
Glad I'm not the only who got one angry after reading this. Fuck, I can do better than this banner in 20 minutes. The title of the arc has got a shitty font and isn't even translated, do they even know how to make something sell ?

>>12781008
There is still a difference between guys specialized in that and others who aren't. But thay doesn't really matter here, was just purely informative.

On the other hand, this artists still sells thanks to his smooths lines and good coloring, but the anatomy is quite terrible.

>>12780635
>>12780975
>>12781168

Maybe someone should bring it up with Doddle-kun or something.

I hate to ask the obvious question, but how the fuck do I even go about playing this series now? I have the original Mangagamer version, should I just patch the sprites and music and play it? Or do I wait and buy the new Steam version?

>>12787315
Even when the steam version is released, it will only be the first chapter. You might as well just play it now. Sprites are your choice, music and sound effects should be patched.

>>12787315
Patch the music, but not the sprites.

>>12787315

The only mandatory thing you should patch is the sound. The sprites are optional, and they come down to personal preference.

>only two weeks until Comicet
>still no news about the new WTC

>>12794995
Forget about it. Maybe summer 2015

>>12794995
>>12795551

On the other hand, I could see Ryukishi's "once a year" release schedule being better since he has more time to put into editing and refining his work.

>>12795749

Definitely. He occasionally released only one arc of Higurashi per year, and it worked out for the best. Umineko might have been much better later on if he had done the same with it.


Anyways, there's new artwork for Sui, and a sample of one of the new OPs. I can't read moon, but I sounds like Kanako Itou.

http://www.kaga-create.co.jp/higurashisui/contents/special.html

>>12800986
It is Itou.

01. Side effect (OP1) - Itou Kanako
02. Ascension (OP2) - Itou Kanako and Ayane
03. Hitotsu no Inochi - Uema Emi

>>12801030

>Kanako Itou and Ayane

We're just about half way through December and still no release or date announcement. Are they gonna release it on Christmas or something?

Quick question: Would editing the colors/shading on the alchemist sprites help to make the PS2/DS only character art blend in more with the Steam sprites?

>>12749904
JACKIEEEE

>>12794995
>>12795551
>>12795749
>>12800986


R07 is literally going to distance himself from WTC slowly year after year just releasing small simple works. WTC requires to be a masterpiece to sate the fans, if it's anything less than that, he will be criticized for becoming washed up. His side works like RGD and Higabanana aren't subject to the same treatment as they don't have that expectation that wtc's have.

In other words, no more wtc. Go home

>>12736901
Am I the only one that still prefers the original sprites (The left most)?

>>12814950
Nope. The newer sprites are all shit. Same with Umineko.

>>12814950
Most people prefer the original. Vocal minority whines and wants pretty nukige artists to make new satoko images.

>>12816331
>Vocal majority whines and wants to hear nothing of people liking something they don't like

God please don't shit up this thread with muh art bullshit.

It's kind of sad how quickly the 07th discussion died when we found out we weren't getting WTC5.

Do I patch kai's sound, or is mangagamer's release fine? I know you patch ni's sound, but I'm not sure about kai.

>>12822376
Ryukishi's career was basically over after Umineko's shitty ending, dude

>>12822376
>when we found out we weren't getting WTC5.

Mind filling me in on this?

>>12823600
The recent 07 Party confirmed it on Animesuki. People on /jp/ say it's legit so meh.

In the R07 October party.
Some guy on Animesuki and /jp/ confirmed it but I'm still crossing my fingers that it's fake.

People were all expecting Alien When They Cry and Ryukishi denied it.

*07th Expansion is switching to releasing once per year instead of twice per year
*07th Party 3 may or may not be the last one; the future is uncertain
*Producing more non-electronic games or taking part in commercial works like Rewrite or doing something completely new might all be paths Ryuukishi takes in the future
*This December is another one-off work, as it always has been, but everyone thinks it's going to be Aliens When They Cry for no reason whatsoever. It's about three worlds, ONE of which is sci-fi. Ryuukishi also said he hopes to have it out this year the last time he talked about which was a while ago, so there may be a delay.

And considering how no new information has been announced concerning his recent work and Comitek is around the corner, I'd say it's pretty much confirmed overall.

I'm insanely sad since I've been heavily expecting a WtC 5 in space.

>>12825040
Man, is R07 ever going to release a new WtC?

>>12825040
Thanks a lot for sharing. I haven't been very updated with WtC lately, so it's a nice refresher. Makes me feel a bit glum hearing about this nontheless though.

Cautiously looking forward to what they he has to say at Comiket soon.

>>12825040
Doesn't producing one work per year create a better working situation for Ryukishi to spend time on making another WTC?
I'd also have hated the next WTC to be sci-fi, but maybe that's just me.

>>12825393
It would be but him working with other people might be his excuse for only making 1 work a year.

It also means Witch Hunt will likely not do much.

>>12830424
>Witch Hunt
>doing anything
>2014
>almost 2015

It should be pretty apparent to everyone by now that WH is done. That is, of course, it suddenly gets an influx of new members.

>>12830477
I'm just sad that they've decided to just take it endlessly slow as fuck.

https://twitter.com/The_Doddler/status/544395472312365056

So Mangagamer has less than a week to put Onikakushi out. Is it going to happen?

>>12833460
>this old geezer
Why?
>>12833541
Never.

>>12833541

Nope, and not likely January either(because that's gonna be eden*'s launch). Probably February.

>>12833541
Take a fucking guess, they're lazy as ass!

>>12822376
We will be getting it eventually. We'll just have to wait longer.

>>12830424
>>12830477
Looks not to me, since they just annoucned they're nearly 100% done with RGD Season 3 and 4.

Will Hou ever be translated?

New OP revealed

Those animations. I can't stop watching (though honestly the song itself is so-so)

>>12837612
I feel like it gives away too much for first time readers, but other than that pretty damn top notch.

Well other than Renas blank stare. It's pretty bad.

>>12837612
Here is my version, which I'll now use for my Festival patch instead of the first Matsuri one. The problem of the opening is that it spoils way too much (besides having Kizuna only scenes), so I adapted it for the Questions arcs :
http://youtu.be/vWHeHkTI0G8

>>12837612
>>12838153
The part with Rena's skirt before she breaks the windows is hypnotizing.

>>12838077
Apart from the Miyo thing (which first timers might gloss over) it's actually not too bad on that issue. I remember Steins;Gate's 2nd OP spoiling CGs from Chapter 9 and the true end but never realised it until quite some time after finishing the game

>>12838153
The Mion doll thing is pretty spoilery

>>12838222
> The Mion doll thing is pretty spoilery

That was already in the Matsuri opening, way better than showing both Mion and Shion. And I don't think it spoils much, that's a scene from the start of the second arc, it's a "important" as showing a depressed Satoko with Teppei's shadow.

>>12838227
Mion and Shion both existing is revealed pretty fast, while most of us are as in the dark about the doll thing as Keiichi for a good chunk of the second arc. Both are more minor than emphasis on Miyo, but overall the OP is still passable on spoiler issues

anybody have Hou game rip?

>>12838608
Think I saw it on XPearse website, the one who translated the game. Don't have the link anymore tough.

>start up the first Outbreak chapter
>'you're' instead of 'your' every single fucking time

Don't get me wrong, it's fucking awesome that we got a translation, but holy shit it's like I'm reading fanfiction

>>12842049
Seems like that got fixed for the download release.

>>12842091
What the hell is a 'download release'?

>>12842049
Yeah, it's not the best translation, but it's certainly better than nothing. It's kind of amazing how people can fuck up very basic things in the english language while having a relatively well formed vocabulary.

>>12842049
The dialogue is stupidly formal too, which funnily enough was the issue with the subs we got for the actual Outbreak OVA. A lot of the lines are also just straight up translated and stuck in the passive voice with no restructuring whatsoever.

Oh well. We're not getting any more Ryukishi this year, so I'll take it.

>>12842106
Because he only released his translation on YouTube at first ? He waited for some feedback before uploading it.

>>12842316
Well all the typos are still there in the version linked in the thread, so unless there's some other DL out there no changes were made.

>>12842328

>Lambdadelto

my sides

>>12842188
I'm thinking of editing a proper version of the translation, though I'd have to learn how to patch Onscripter first.

It's serviceable, but it is the worst fan translation I've ever seriously read.

I''m still trying to figure out what exactly "bamboo basket people" is supposed to mean.

>>12736845
What's up with Ryukishi? Where's my WTC5?

>>12736901
They all look like shit. They should've just made some looking like the anime.

>>12816290
The PS3 ones are easily better.

Will the steam release have voice acting?

>>12842837

>>12842863
Obviously not.

I finished Hou today. That was one hell of a wild ride.

So, how much of it was cannon in your opinions?

>>12842828
That's just one of the many translations of the characters used, and that was just a temp name I'm using until I finish everything. I just entered that in since a bamboo basket is what is shown when google imaged and is one of the meanings.

Anyway, here's the specific characters if you want to see yourself.
ざる
I'll probably replace it with colander though, although I'm unsure what it should really be.

Also, my translation is very literal, so I'm sorry if it comes off rather robotic but that's generally how literal translations go, and I don't want to re-write what is being said. Example:

Literal
Hey, how are you doing?
Re-write
Yo, waz up my *****?

>>12842828
Found any errors or mistakes I made, you could actually inform me about them. But, if your talking about the your you're thing, a guy on animesuki said he'd "have a look at it" but so far nothing. The documents still there if you or anyone wants to fix that up.

Anyhow, I'm not finished so there's room for improvement but I'm pretty much satisfied with it for the most part.

>>12842968
I'm wondering if it always refers to Tamura's tribe (as opposed to Hanyuu's "tribe of the horn"), or all the parasitic tribes in general?

>>12842968
>Anyway, here's the specific characters if you want to see yourself.
>ざる

I checked the Jisho online dictionary and I'm wondering if it might be the first listed meaning:

http://jisho.org/words?jap=%E3%81%96%E3%82%8B&eng=&dict=edict

Auxiliary, Archaism: not; un-

Basically, they're being referred to as "non-humans."

>>12842968
>Found any errors or mistakes I made, you could actually inform me about them. But, if your talking about the your you're thing, a guy on animesuki said he'd "have a look at it" but so far nothing. The documents still there if you or anyone wants to fix that up.
>Anyhow, I'm not finished so there's room for improvement but I'm pretty much satisfied with it for the most part.

Sure, I'd love to. I greatly appreciate the translation, but I'm also a writer and perfectionist myself so I'd like it to be as well-written as possible, and using proper English grammar.

I'd gladly edit the full text of the translation patch, if you could provide it for me.

Besides the "your/ you're" thing, there are also many instances of the wrong word being used, like when it refers to people being "cooked up" inside of houses instead of "cooped up." Also, it refers to "panached mobs" instead of "panicked mobs." Along with many other expressions that are just very unnatural in English, like "I, have awoken very much."

>>12842978

>non-humans

That's what other people have translated it as. It makes the most sense, in my opinion.

>>12842978
I'm such an idiot, I never even thought about it like that. Many thanks, I'll change it to non-humans.

>>12843032
Well, those are the specific expressions and words it uses, so even if they may sound unnatural, it's what I'm going with.

>>12843610

The problem is that they sound unnatural to the point of most people understanding what is being said. That defeats the purpose of a translation.

So where can I get Hou now?

>>12843676
I wouldn't say it's not understandable. Anyway, I won't be changing the stuff you mentioned.

>>12844843
Buy it off Amazon/any other site that sells it or use other means, like here.

>>12854570
Yes.
Ryukishi said so many times. He reconfirmed it with Rose Guns Days when someone asked why Buttler looked the same as Battler.
Ryukishi said that it was like hiring the same actor for a play.

As such, you can now imagine the actor Hanyuu playing Maria. Or Takano wearing a wig and playing Eva for example.

Was R07 a fan of Tezuka or did what ?

This is the case for all of the other sprites as well.

>>12865918

>>12866328
I wonder how much can goat-kun bench

>>12864970
>>12865918

That's how it is with every single character R07 has ever made. The reason they don't look "generic" in the first place is because of his inability to draw.

>>12866328
Does he even lift?

>>12745069
am i kawaii uguu

>>12863318
He got married and had a kid before he even started Umineko, but, in his words, he married Umineko when he started writing it.

Unfortunately he couldn't blow his wife up with 900 tons of small bombs, so he now has to attend to that whole deal.

>>12866779
he can't draw characters, but he sure can draw expressions, and better than the guys drawing the generic animu faces of the PS3 version.

>>12870757
Eww, someone married a baby raping otaku. I can't imagine how ugly his children must be.

Oh there is actually Vita version coming.

A PV for Higurashi Sui :

>>12883750
fuck it

More screenshots of my WIP 720p patch.

Began adding Tomita and Okamura, along with some CGs and a zoomed sprite taken from the recently released PV of the ps3 game. Again, all of them are supposed to be in low quality, I’m just working on adding them in the script before I get the HQ assets from Sui.

Quelle verve.

Très bien.

Just curious, how does the omelette du fromage here feel about the muslim attack in Paris?

How hard is the moon in this game? Might import the vita version

>>12886293
>the muslim attack in Paris?
There was an attack in my country recently?

>>12886359
Yes, mon baguette ami, very fucking recent at that.

http://edition.cnn.com/2015/01/07/europe/france-satire-magazine-gunfire/

>>12886332
anyone?

>>12886293
How should we feel. Our freedom of speech is attacked, every french guy is sad and mourning.
Fucking extremists, man. But the whole country stands united, atheists as catho as muslims, so... well...

>>12887384
Will you guys do more satirical cartoon?

So Onikakushi magically got a page on steam today, so it seems like it'll actually be getting released some time this month.

>>12825040
>*07th Expansion is switching to releasing once per year instead of twice per year
>*07th Party 3 may or may not be the last one; the future is uncertain
>*Producing more non-electronic games or taking part in commercial works like Rewrite or doing something completely new might all be paths Ryuukishi takes in the future
>*This December is another one-off work, as it always has been, but everyone thinks it's going to be Aliens When They Cry for no reason whatsoever. It's about three worlds, ONE of which is sci-fi. Ryuukishi also said he hopes to have it out this year the last time he talked about which was a while ago, so there may be a delay.

>>12887389
Nearly every single paper published satirical cartoon today.

I guess those retarded extremists miserably failed. They probably wanted to create anti-muslim hate to recruit more people, but everyone is just standing united, right now.

>>12886293
Pretty fine.

The newspaper in question, Charlie Hebdo, was a leftist anarchist paper in the 80's. Nowadays, it has become a racist and shitty hellhole, with permanent in-joke about Mahomet's sodomizing 9 years old.

By 2012, several articles by serious papers, like the Monde Diplomatique, explained that Charlie Hebdo's turn to the shitty was both irresponsible and dangerous. By adding fuel to the fire, they only bred hatred and contempt, hiding behind the "freedom of speech".

Fast forward to now. They all dead, john. You reap what you sow.

>>12887800
Except freedom of speech is a right, and murder is a crime. They are not responsible for their own death. Saying they are responsible is the same as saying that a girl is responsible for being raped. This is fucking retarded.

>>12887815
>Except freedom of speech is a right, and murder is a crime.

Hate speech is a crime. Freedom of speech stops where hate speech begins. It's what being responsible is about. It's what being adult is about. It's what Charlie Hebdo has forgotten, because being racist is so much fun and clever.

>They are not responsible for their own death.

Define "responsible". From a purely causes and consequences standpoint, they have a causal responsibility in their own death. That's a pure fact.

>>12887820
>Hate speech is a crime

Dark humour isn't. You don't have the right to decide what is humor and what isn't.If someone say something and say "You don't have to take this seriously", then just don't.

They have a responsability for their death, as you say, this is a fact, but the only one who violated the law are the extremist faggots.

>>12887800
Go rape a goat, Abdullah.

Seriously, what is someone like you doing here of all places?

>>12886332
I remember seeing a table with vns listed by translation difficulty with Higurashi and Umineko in the top ten. Higu had just over 2000 unique Kanji.
Couldn't find sauce though. Maybe one of the other anons knows where it is?

>>12888439
So basically I'm screwed at a beginner/intermediate level?

>>12888439
Didn't Ryu say that Umineko was pretty hard even for native people?

>>12888490
Maybe he just meant stuffs like the epitaph.

>>12887886
Did you read the article of Olivier Cyran about the casual racism of Charlie Hebdo? The half-dozen article by Acrimed? The article by Alain Gresh on the Monde Diplomatique about Charlie Hebdo? All of them boil down to: "They're being irresponsible, they add fuel to the fire, they're racist (they even support a neo-nazi), and that's a fucking dangerous position to have". You reap what you sow. First rule of reality. I'm sorry I'm making you take a reality check, but you're not a child anymore.

It's a sad affair. But I'm taking it easy, and you're not. They could have prevented this. They just thought that being racist had no consequences, as long as they had support from powerful people and money was flowing.

>>12888575
You spout a fuckton of bullshiting nonsense.

>>12886099
Can you make Tomita and Okamura shorter?
They seem to be almost at Mion's height when she's clearly a good number of years older.
And they're only kids.

>>12891758
Well, didn't bother modifying that since those are just files set until I get the ripped ps3 sprites.
Comparing with the preview screenshots of it, you can that Okamura/Tomita are indeed a bit shorter, and Mion is taller.

>>12892612
*you can see

Also, most sprites have more "space" in the ps3 game compared to the ps2 game, thanks to the wider screen. Like, Akasaka was taller than the screen previously, while he's not anymore, and even with that we still get to see more of the sprite.
As for Tomita's and Okamura's heights, I think that was an error in the ds games, they're now shorter.

>>12769203
Nobody gives a shit about an English release. Back to /a/.

>>12892612
Ah, I see.

I like that there is more space and that characters actually seem their size.

Think there'll be a timely release of the album for the OP? And the chance that we coud get a hand on it? A flac version no less?

But he's right.

So now that Rose Guns is actually going to get a complete translation, how many of you are fucked because you looked up spoilers?

>>12736845
English Ps3 version when?

You know what higurashi needs? A full remake like umineko's ps3 version: good sprites, good backgrounds, expanded OST, CGIs, and VOICES.

>>12903941
You do realize it's getting one, right?

>>12903468
Not too bad. I only got a few accidental spoilers.

>>12904138
Gameplay sample anywhere?

Either way, we need a group like UminekoTweak to make a PS3fied and translated PC version. Unless there is actually going to be an english PS3 version, but I doubt it.

>>12904168
Seriously ? Even the fucking OP was talking about this ps3 release, and the thread already have plenty of images/links/informations, stop being a faggot.
http://youtu.be/LoikcG2g5NY

>>12905584
Sorry I'm a little retarded. Not really.

That's awesome. I take the date at the end means March 12 and not December 3? Is there any translation group that's going to port it to PC?

>>12907073
Nah, you're still a little retarded, especially if you're asking a question like that.

>>12908062
There are two questions in that post you little autist.

>>12908120
Both questions are equally retarded.

>>12908120
Oh, my bad anon, I didn't see your second question.

Not that I have anything nice to say about that one either.

>>12908150
>>12908166
They did it with Umineko, there is no reason they couldn't do it for Higurashi.

Yes idiots, I know it's not a literal port, just ripping the sprites, backgrounds and voices and patching the original VN.

>>12908173
Pretty much all of this has been done already.

>>12908185
No it doesn't. The current patches are fucking shit, they leave half the backgrounds unchanged. And the most important thing by far, the voices, there is not a patch for that even after all these years..

>>12908173
Have you looked up any info about Sui at all?

>>12908193
I assume it's all in runes, so no.

>>12908192
07th doesn't have enough of a following anymore for people to want to patch Higurashi any further than it already has been. The most you're ever going to get from here on is that french patch.

>WTC5 is still not happening
You'd think he'd actually want to make some money now that he has an angry wife and kid to provide for

>>12908319
There is a reason he keeps shitting out more and more higurashit.

>>12911046
he just made Hou because he didn't have enough time for a full project this year. Stuff like the Steam and ps3 releases are unrelated with him.

>>12911072
Nah, Hou was an obvious cash grab. The whole 'give the anime faggots everything at once so they don't have an excuse not to buy it' thing aside, the ending wouldn't have sucked and been as completely out of place as it was if he didn't need to appeal to the Kira-shits in the first place.

So how deep a hatred does the western 07th fanbase have for 07th fan fiction?

>>12911718
I hate him because he keeps shitting out unnecessary higurashit instead of shitting out uminekoshit once in a while.

>>12911718
There's some good fanfic, and some (mostly) bad, just like all other fandoms.

>>12912165
Its not like its all self inserts, is it? Please don't be.

>>12912406
Some of the shit you find on tv tropes is nothing but self insert shit where the writers don't even bother giving characters Japanese names. Some of the stuff on there is actually decent, though, despite how some of them have OCs.

Bump.

>>12912470
Hmm, I was not aware that TV tropes hosted fanfic. I mostly use Archive of Our Own; I feel it has a better quality ratio.

>>12918313
>H
What a pointless change.

>>12919774
They don't host fanfics. They link to fanfics from other sites. Everything is organized by series and there's not that much for WTC to begin with so it's fairly easy to find something that doesn't suck.

>>12918313
Oh cool.
That was relatively fast.

And Rose Gun Days S3 and S4 was going to finally be translated any day now.

>>12903468
All I know is that S4 is a bloodbath.
I mean, it's not like you could tell that literally everyone, except that one guy that is still alive in the future, will die.

I just want to see how Ryukishi handles a three way war. Especially since he's been hyping up that China and America have their own uber intelligent leader.

>>12925690
Oups, it's not like you couldn't tell that everyone will die.

>>12925690
>three way war
I've got bad news for you, anon...

>>12925690
Well, giving away as little as possible just so you don't go in with certain expectations, technically it's a 4-way war in a 2-way war, and America doesn't really do much of anything until everything's basically over.

>>12825057
I don't think so.

>>12926240
Well I know that It's China vs Japan since it's been building up since Season 2 and they've been hinting at it.
But there's a bunch of random characters that seem to be added in Season 3 that seem like mercenaries or some shit. I dunno.

>>12926267
>America doesn't do anything
So basically America doing what it always does.
Are you saying that it does nothing in the war or that it does nothing in the story. Both China and Murrica are suppose to have these elite smart leaders that are coming to Japan to take control. Are they going to be given the spotlight?

>>12926421
Alright, this is slightly more specific, but Butler and pretty much anyone he's friendly with on that side don't do much of anything until the end.

>>12926267
Wait, that doesn't make sense, unless you're considering Kaworu Clone #5000 not American since he's a crossbreed.

>>12926442
Really? Huh. But does the 'america' side do anything? Seems weird if they just don't get involved until the end.

Especially with the shady assassination shit they pulled in S2.

Does that blue haired Battler do anything important? I've seen images of him shooting a rifle so I'm sure he has to be involved in the war somehow.

>>12926459
>but does 'america' do anything?
It's basically GHQ vs everyone while taking advantage of other peoples' grief to get them to fight with them.

>does that blue haired Battler do anything?
He does a lot of edgelord shit with his sniper bro and basically nothing else. One of them gets their hair dyed silver.

>>12926466
Hmmmm, sound fun.

Did you think S3-S4 were good?

>>12926471
Far better than 1 and 2, that's for damn sure. Mainly because he finally discards the crappy shonen atmosphere and people actually die when they're killed.

>>12926474
>Far better than 1 and 2, that's for damn sure.
Finally.Perfect.

That's all I wanted to hear.
At least now that Leo, or whatever his name is, is no longer there to help Rosa and Japan, it seems like a tight fight which seemed promising. If S3 and S4 are better than the first two, that just hypes it even more for me.

>>12926466
>>12926466
>One of them gets their hair dyed silver.
It's kind of amazing Ryu didn't do this to any Higurashi character when he went back for Hou since he's done this to at least someone in everything else he's worked on.

Battler in Umineko, Marie in Higanbana, and now this guy.

>>12926483
>Marie in Higanbana

I don't remember that ever happening for her. What chapter are you talking about? Unless that's an idiom I'm not familiar with.

>>12926554
Marie's Mesomeso form is given silver hair in the manga. Ryu never drew her different art for the game.

>>12926582
OK, I gotcha. So that's why I didn't remember it; I've never read the manga. Thanks.

>>12926582
Don't we never see it in the VN?

>>12929656
Yeah, in the VN we got a featureless silhouette. That's one of the main reasons why.

IT'S NOT DEAD YET

The thread or SJW antics in general
Because one being alive is much less surprising than the other.

>>12932472
Fuck off and die for linking to that shit.

VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION why does mion's mom have a sprite but her grandmother doesn't?

>>12932755
She does in Kizuna and Sui, but not in the vanilla game because that was "too much for Ryukishi".

>>12932755
'Cuz the Mom is cute

taiboss a shit

Bonus for the limited editon of the incoming ps3 game are quite terrible compare to the ones we got for Matsuri and Kizuna.
It's litterally just a notebook or a poster depending on the place you buy it.

>>12939837
DAMN LOOK AT THEM TITTIES

>>12939837
>>12939913
Damn, now I want a douible paizuri.

>>12939913
HQ fucking when. What's more, seems like the shmion one IS a poster or something like that.

>>12939837
>no sextoko

>>12940123
Satoko wil probably be on the last pic that wasn't done yet.

>>12940123
Feelio when I have a old poster of Sextoko in a lewd outfit

I don't remember where the hell I bought this thing.

>>12939837
Arghhh, I need all of those images.
But more importantly, I need those two Rika images.

Hanyuu's ass and that Shmion combo is just too good.

>>12939837
So this is all we're getting for LE material, right? Seems kind of shitty since the bulky Alchemist releases for Umineko had uber LEs.

>>12941508
Umineko was a new product and this is just a redone of an old product.

I would also love more but anything is still good.

>>12850743
Wait Rika and Satoko have tits?
I never noticed that.

>>12941750
Satoko has hella tits, for her age. See the original sprites.

>>12941810
Well that's what I get for only watching the anime and only reading Onikakushi-hen.

So when is it not going to take a minute for posts to go through? That mangagamer release can happen at any time and I want to be able to bitch and moan about it with everyone else as promptly as possible.

>>12941750
If you look at the original sprite, Rika has noticeable buns. Even though she was suppose to be as flat as a board.
Satoko are just more visible and grown.

For that image, it's just the outfit that makes it look like Rika has breast when she likely doesn't.
It would be somewhat funny if she took that bathing suit to make it seem she has breast even though she's completely flat.

I still prefer the swimsuits shown in Rei.
Everyone had much better swimsuits, especially Satoko.

>>12942177
Dammit anon why did you post this image? I made myself swear off this image forever ago and actually forgot about it

NIPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~

>>12942692
Nipah~

>>12850968
especially mister delicious.

I reread higurashi, and it's absolutely crazy how Bernkastel is actually quite similar to Rika. She just really is a jaded Rika, even if she looks bitter.

>>12951301
Have you read the Dice Killing chapter yet? I think you'd find it quite interesting, considering that.

>>12951288
Just look at this fucker.

>>12951301
She's similar but in no way Rika.
Bern is just the worst aspect of Rika, namely her endless cynicism and disregard to anything that might not be of use to her.
