Black★Rock Shooter: The Game Out Now For $20!

[affinity7799]

is Vita compatibility worth the investment? I think there still are more PSP owners than Vita owners. Vita is still too new to really determine how solid companies can make decent sales from it in the west, and also considering how expensive the darned thing is, not everyone would have money left over for niche titles (and Vita really too small a market to get it for specifically niche titles.) the amount of money to even localize Vita version alongside PSP version would be maddening, and could cause spending more than gaining more profit. BRS already has a lot of criticisms and less fan attention than even Dynasty Warriors games. Well I partially blame the developers from choosing PSP over PSN, but psp is said to be easier to program. Well basically it's understandable things are quiet about Black Rock Shooter, no one really expects it to sell as much as Neptunia or Atelier series. but you know, since Vita is compatible with PSP games, it makes sense why they PSP localize it with Vita in mind.

so basically, they can localize Black Rock Shooter for PSP on PSN, and it would technically be playable on Vita too. So it probably wouldn't need much work aside from adding labels that it's compatible with Vita besides PSP. So yea in that sense they could expand the market and sales for it. ^_^

Things are quiet because of contractual issues. Meaning, Imageepoch is making them keep their mouths shut -_-

That's business!
Ta-dah!

[vampko]

Well, they COULD be doing this because they have some sort of neat trick up their sleeve, and that's how I'll look at it so that I don't see Imageepoch in a negative manner.

Oh so it could be a surprise debut campaign when Black Rock Shooter promotions are ready! ^-^

I don't recommend anyone banking too much on this.

It's long since drifted into 'when it's done' territory, so not a lot to do but wait.

Sup guys ^_^

one question, has NISA said the release date of this game already ? It´s been a long time since they announced they would localize it but I still haven´t heard anything,

[PringlesXD]

Nope, we're still waiting.

[vampko]

Now that I've seen the anime, I want this MUCH more than before T_T

Please! Imageepoch, if any of your employees reads this somehow, work things through, and get things going. We've waited so long.

A question to those who've played the game does it seem similar to the anime at all? I'm not talking about the fighting only, but the story as well.

[Unvivid]

not sure... i got the jpn one and i have no clue as to what is going on XD First boss is a bit disturbing (or slightly imaginative) though

Spoiler:

THe first boss f*king licks you... and yes its a girl that lick you... BRS.....a girl....was licked.....by a girl....I believe the boss was called MEFE

I havent finished watching the anime yet sooo.... in gameplay terms, it has its similarities, though most of the time your shooting at your oponents and activating buffs and special skills

[myskaros]

From what I understand, the game follows a completely different world/storyline than the OVA/anime does. Like, the only similarities are the character designs, the premise is not even remotely alike.

Disappointing...

I'm sure it'll still be fun, but that really does put a dent in it.

Yeesh...it's a freakin sausage fest...I just got introduced to a team (very Metal Gear like) and they're ALL guys...EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

There was like 10 guys!

Ugh...

I'm starting to wonder if Imageepoch should have even bothered with this. The story seems interesting, but I've just started. Battle's pretty good.

Still don't like the Opening.
