      @Buuhan1:

      I never doubted we would get it, but sure didn't expect it THIS soon.

      Beautiful DP sig. Just saying. I agree with you on that. I was looking for it sometime in the winter. I'm turned off by the puzzle based gameplay but the story is interesting and I've never been able to say no to Atlus. I am so getting this.

        So… you're going to play a game with gameplay you don't like...? :wassat:

          I don't care for puzzle games either, in fact I've never played one before. But I decided I was going to be with Catherine in the long haul even before we got 100% confirmation on what the game play was like. And even if it was, I probably still would have been all for it. The games style is what got my attention, so even if the gameplay isn't my cup of tea let at least hope the story is good.

          Also, this seems to be the day of release dates. Catherine for July (supposedly), and Alice: Madness Returns and Shadows of the DAMNED for June.

          Announcement Trailer

          It's basically the same Flight of the Valkyrie's trailer from Japn, but a wee-bit different in areas.

            It would seem that Troy Baker (Snow from FFXIII and various other anime and games) is hinting that he has been cast as Vincent: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Troy-Baker/35058755892?_fb_noscript=1

            Many were hoping for Steven Blum due to Vincent's Japanese voice actor, but I for one am glad. I love Blum, but he's too damn recognisable.

              I got almost excited there when I mis-read it to be Tom Baker.

              If only. If only.

                So, we know Troy Baker is voicing Vincent. Well, now we know who's voicing Catherine. The one, the only, Laura Bailey. Apparently she was a popular choice for the role among the fanbase. All that's left to be revealed now is who will voice Katherine.

                  Went ahead and reserved my copy of Catherine and also Michelle Ruff is voicing Katherine in the game.

                    Thank God for Troy Baker. He did a damn good job voicing Yuri from Tales of Vesperia.

                          Catherine has leveled up from an original IP to a franchise.

                          http://www.siliconera.com/2011/04/15/index-holdings-have-various-plans-for-catherine/

                          But I'm curious, can they really make a sequel? I haven't played the game or have had it spoiled, but it doesn't seem like the characters and story could continue. Guess if they did make a second it'll be new characters, except one or more will be named Catherine? Or again, maybe the game does open itself up for future outgoings, but again I don't want to spoil anything for myself.

                          I'm curious tho, with so many having bought this game thinking it was basically a console ero game, I wonder if the sales would be so high for a sequel now that the cat's out of the bag?

                              It could be as much of a series as Persona, really. The whole subject matter of Monogamy and Relationships can be bent really easily for new characters, plenty of character content that can cross over (whether it be allusions or directly the same character), and etc.

                              You know, the typical SMT thing.

                                    Yeah, I'm definitely not getting it, as the shirt won't even fit me. (I wouldn't wear the boxers, but definitely would the shirt) Only way I can see me getting it is if Amazon somehow drops it close to $60 before release… doubtful.

                                    Also to anyone who shops there (which I have done a lot lately), Kmart will not be stocking Catherine. Shame, cause I'd have credit from Alice and Shadows of the DAMNED I could use on it.

                                      No Japanese audio option for the domestic release, strictly the dub cast (I hear the weeaboo cries already). Also the difficulty will be indentical to the Japanese release post-patch. English demo hits this week and it'll be identical to the Japanese demo.

                                        Hey the dubs of Persona 3(besides Fuuka sometimes) and Persona 4 were great, I don't know why people would complain.

                                            Ooh! Looking forward to that. I downloaded the Japanese demo a while ago and enjoyed the gameplay, but it will be very nice indeed to actually understand what the characters are saying now.

                                            Indeed. I've already read some comments from people who are saying they don't want to buy it now that they know it isn't dual audio.

                                            Pfft.

                                            a mood come alive.

                                              Doesn't this game take place in America or am I wrong? It would make more sense for then to speak english.

                                                Ugh, I've seen so many bozos complaining about the lack of dual audio for Overclocked, despite the fact that the dev team could apparently barely even fit one voice track on the cartridge, let alone two.

                                                  Not that it matters as IGN reviews are worthless, but they gave it a 9/10.

                                                    Why don't they just start a petition asking Atlus to make a PSVita version that'll have the option I mean yea the petition wouldn't accomplish anything but at least it would keep them preoccupied.

                                                        Must say, I'm surprised it is getting such good reviews. Too bad I kinda had the story spoiled for me today.

                                                          Since i absolutely love Laura Bailey im contemplating on whether i should get it or rent.
                                                          I dont think its worth the buy, but honestly i dont really want to purchase games anymore.
                                                          Ill most likely rent or just wait till the english dub is available on youtube to watch, since i want to hear the game and watch the story in english.

                                                            The story is really predictable and minor, honestly. Like if you've played a Megaten game you know where it's going on every end.

                                                            It's nothing that being spoiled ruins, since it's more interesting to see how it carries it, while also playing the game itself, which is more interesting than the actual plot side of the narrative.

                                                              This was the spoiler I read, maybe it is not as major as I'm making it out to be, can you tell me?

                                                              ! > Katherine is preggers so yea she is a crazy lunatic Catherine is a bat shit crazy soul eatting homicidal maniac though
                                                              ! But turns out several previews on sites (including G4's site) state that Katherine is pregnant, now while that is actually a plot point that is revealed very early on, or merely sites being careless I do not know. But the thing with Catherine I think is more serious. I mean, it kinda seemed obvious from the start that she was some sort of succubus or something like that.

                                                              Also, the gameplay does not interest me ONE SINGLE BIT, only the story. So are you saying in that case the game isn't worth it?

                                                                          ! But I can't say for certain.

I kinda assumed she was a demon from the start, just it is a mystery on what kind, good, bad, misguided. Guess finding out is still something I can experience for myself, tho I can only think of so many ways it can end up.
                                                                            ! I guess just… tell me if she's good or not, cause otherwise I'll go through the entire game not trusting her rather she is or not.
