I edited my previous post with more info. They already started to work on the remaster before ZTD's release, and it was already more than a simple remaster. It's not related to ZTD sales, "they launched the development of another game only based on pre-orders" seems ridiculous. 

 

It's not working on a dead series at all, it's a re-release allowing a lot more money with a huge userbase. When a Japanese game release on Steam months/years later, it doesn't mean that the game will get a sequel, just that they want more money for their game. 

Im not saying thats definely happening, but there are strong signs that it may be not that dead.Yes, many companies re-release their games on Steam just to get an extra money, but this isnt just releasing on Steam.And its not just a simple port.Thats the whole point.

And I mean, ZTD did quite well for what the franchise usually does.If you use vgchartz numbers, and add numbers from both versions, it adds up to 210k.210k for a game that surely had limited supply, and that digital sales must have been really high, due to that limitation I just said, due to the Steam release in which many must have gotten through that, and that Europe didnt even receive a physical version.

Zero Escape is a masterpiece(the first two games are anyway).Cant you be a little more optimistic about it?

I can be optimistic about it. But for me a new game wouldn't be a good news. They ended that story, already with some difficulty, with ZTD. Creating a new story about that out of thin air would just look like lazy money-grabbing without any interest for the story. This story is over, I hope we won't dig it up and damage it just for money. Useless money sequels when something is over is the best way to damage the whole series. 

 

Let's support Uchikoshi in his new project, and hope for him to turn the page successfully instead of staying stuck on something that is over.
