Nope absolutely nothing. Makes you wonder whats taking them so long. I personally think they cancelled the game halfway through or something. Seeing how their recent prinny bomb had no info on BRS whatsoever strengthens that possiblity.

From the Spring Premiere thread in Gen Chat:

BRS is still on track but they can't announce anything else due to contractual issues. The biggest issue is programming - which is still being worked on.

Jack stated that they hope to release it within this year.

The common wild theory is they're mostly working on Vita compatibility.

Ugh, I knew Imageepoch seemed like a bad idea....

Ah well, at least we're going to get BRS someday for sure.

Yeah, who knows? When it comes out we'd both have long white beards. Wouldn't that be cool?

Its too bad I won't have a Vita to support them with. But hey I have 3 Japanese copies though and that supported the original developer so thats always a good thing.

Is this going to be a digital download only release?

[Ringwraith]

Yup, it's been confirmed multiple times before to be DD only.

[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.

[affinity7799]

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.
