| Giovanni said: Since Double Eleven is porting PixelJunk to the Vita?PS4, can they work with other studios to port more PSN games to the Vita? Sure it won't sell Vitas but who will complain about more games? I also feel like PSN games are meant to be Vita game, I don't why, I just do. Also, what is a Visual Novel game? I'm hearing good things about Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc but I don't understand what Visual Novel is or how will you play it. And finally, what is Akiba's Trip? I'm sorry for asking these questions, I've never bothered to play a Japanese game on PS2 or PS3 and now that I have and played P4G, I'm getting an interest in those type of games. |
Kresnik already said something abut it... but actually, Danganroppa, Virtue's last reward and TWD are more graphic adventures... actually TWD HAVE NOTHING of Visual novels... and the other two features some vVN components on the social interaction with other characters, investigation and story dialogs... but aren't actually Visual novels...
Visual Novel is a genre pretty popular in Japan obetween PC users, most ofthem are Erotic VN, the key characteristics are LOT OF TEXT, voiced dialogs and ilustrations for characters and some key scenes(Yeah, the Erotic ones too ;) ). Mostly don't have gameplay features, although some have (Tears of Tiara have some SRPG components) are just dialogs and take decisions and choice answers, wich affect the flowof the story.
Some games recently, specially Graphic adventures with puzzling gameplay and story, have Vn components... some other games like Blazblue serie ahve its storytold trougth VN dialogs and illustrations between each fitgh.
This genre is for You if: You like to read, actually if YOU LOVE TO READ, Japanese people loves to read a lotthat's why is "fairly"popular genre...is well spread because is relatively cheap to produceand have high profit ratio... some VN with 10k sells are profitable...a lot of animes are based on VN and they uses to have LOTS of Merchandising... so making it more profitable if ithave a good fanbase.
basically is a voiced novel with choicesand ellegible endings. the most proper VN You will se soon: XBLAZE from ArkSystems, spinoffof Blazblue Fighting game serie... on PSP in Japan are a LOTof VN and some make it to the west recently, Hakuoki Shinsenguumi, by example. Vita have a fairly bunch of VN in Japan, I hope we'll see Stein's gate and Fate/ games with this iniciative.
