Kyle Hyde/Hotel Dusk - The Last Window thread

>b-b-but piracy doesn't hurt sales...!
>it makes good publicity for the games, meaning it keeps the industry alive!

Cing died for our sins. Capcom deemed unnecessary to translate and localize the investigations games in Europe or to translate AAI2 in English for this reason as well. Ghost Trick sold poorly because everyone bought it instead of buying it. Et cetera...

I was ten and had shit taste, if I knew about the game at the time I would of bought it, recently got a physical copy from amazon tho
also how does a burger get last window cheep, even outside of the box its damn expensive due to being an import.

Im sorry, pirating on DS was too easy even for a twelve year old. And the ROMs were small as well like 10-20 mb.

What is this of a spiritual successor? I need to know. Every year I played through Room 215, and when Last Windows came I played the shit out of that as well.

The only other game I invested so much time in was the Phoenix Wright series, but Kyle Hyde games was better overall.

But I did, user.

For once I'm glad youtube comments are a thing. Based mystery games fan making references to the Ace Attorney series.

My favorite tracks from this series are :
youtube.com/watch?v=bbvLGOZmHJM (insomnia)
youtube.com/watch?v=i5f-3U5Vu8s (insomnia in the Last Window)
youtube.com/watch?v=9X_XofqHX3I (Silent Moon - forgot where it played but I believe it's either the game over music or the MUH Bradley theme)
youtube.com/watch?v=jcXfPaz5t7w (Hangover Blues - Dunning's theme)
youtube.com/watch?v=nT3SW_gMmGU ( Misty Time or as I like to call it the KINO AS FUCK track when you recap over learnt events in The Last Window)

Maybe if Nintendo weren't such useless faggots and actually bothered releasing Last Window in burgerland more people would've bought it.

It's a real shame Cing went bankrupt, the story, music and atmosphere were great in Hotel Dusk and Last Window.

It's one of the best mystery games ever made, in my opinion, and it's got a really unique feel to it.

It hurts knowing that this and Another Code died with Cing.

The art style has me sold, honestly. Gonna try it out soon.

Great thread OP.

every company clink worked with fucked them over, nintendo capcom, they never got a break
I think that's why its more appealing then telltale adventure shit, its an art-style that isn't generic and adds to the tone of the story.
take the investigation segments from AA, add in some puzzles involving the touch screen and a story that builds on tone constantly and atmosphere and you get hotel dusk.

Personally, one of the things I liked the most was the ability to take notes and write things down without getting a piece of paper IRL.

Damn Dylan

Deus Ex in spite of being released in 2000 gave the player so many things that should be taken for granted now.
>you can take notes, your save game has a when-where-custom namefile and screenshot.

Anyway, just what did Red Crown do? I don't understand what was Kyle's job, salesman? Uh?

The note book is great just to fuck around with for the numbers and to have story details recalled in it if you have the time tho the end of chapter round ups do it fine as well

>But of course this is not something I could have done alone. So I've called for external help, for instance external production companies. But, by getting outside help, there's always going to be a degree of difference between your images and theirs. That's why I always had to rework those images and adjusting them so they match my own.

I maxed out his spirit and using it

Him and Ms.Patrice almost gave me an heart attack

At the time I wasn't into visual novels. I only discovered my love for them after cing died.

Dont know about contact but I dont think the rest would work oustide the DS, or if they could would need so much fine tuning it might as well just be a remake.

Hotel Dusk, as in the location, was comfy as fuck. If ever I have the means, I want to open up a little middle-of-nowhere hotel myself, my dad already kind of looks like Dunning too. Maybe there'll be mysteries, who knows.

I know they all have their own things, but if Capcom can port the Ace Attorney games to phones, then I'm willing to bet something could be down to fit these games on one screen.

I was one of the five people that did.

at least with AA they had the GBA versions to consult when it came to the cases that were not rise from the ashes
It's possible but really harder then the trilogy was to port all things considered.

That's the problem

fuck i should replay it
how should i go about playing it now?
what ds emulator is the best?

I think desume is the best right?

Cing games had a few puzzles built around the peculiarities of the DS hardware. I remember this one puzzle in Trace Memory/Another Code specifically that was solved by looking at the glare on the DS's top screen.

What exactly would you guys want to see in a third game? And would that be where you want it to end or have Kyle star in more games as he grew older?

Attached: Iris bikini book.jpg (553x500, 76K)

Trace Memory was also amazing. I would sacrifice Kojima Productions to get Cing back.

Attached: full_6375295AmericaBackccc.jpg (800x709, 547K)

heard once the creator had an idea where ashley from another code meet an older, gruffer kyle and they helped each other. That honestly sounds perfect as they could merge both styles of interaction into one game, plus you could close out both of their stories in one story.
maybe have a game in between that and last window but I think that both staring in one would of been a fitting end to cing.

Only thing I wasn't too keen with that idea was Kyle encountering supernatural stuff. I liked how grounded in reality Dusk/Window were, aside from the shadowy organization, which even then was handled pretty realistically.

I literally did you bandwagoning faggot.

Attached: IMG_20150206_184428.jpg (2048x1536, 501K)

I mean depends on how they take it could see kyle, a man whos always had rational explanations for how the world works, being shaken up by supernatural stuff with an entire new aspect of reality that is not logically explained.
tho I never played Another code so I dont know how that game works, just going off what I know about Kyle from dusk.

Didn't one of the Kyle games feature a puzzle that required to close the DS at the right time?

I think the game should be ported to telephone, because on a PC it might require to change some puzzles and stuff.

>someone else actually played Lock's Quest

That was Trace Memory. Directed by the same guy.

both fantastic games

Attached: 1557433129145.png (1075x1440, 759K)

Yea, but it would still mean that supernatural had always existed in his world, which didn't seem to be the case in his two adventures at all.
The one where you revive Mila? That was a clever little way of making him perform CPR where some people thought you just had to blow into the mic.

maybe he got a job, right? RIGHT?

I even bought the spiritual sequel.
Kyle Hyde and Cing are long dead.

His last game was in 2016 and exclusive to the eshop. Aksys did fuck all to advertise it. I didn't know it existed until right now.

>Chase: Cold Case Investigations - Distant Memories is an adventure game for the Nintendo 3DS about two detectives working in the Tokyo Police's Cold Case Division. The title was developed by Arc Systems Works and was directed by Taisuke Kanasaki, who was previously a character designer and director on several CiNG games including Hotel Dusk and Trace Memory. Arc System released the game exclusively on the 3DS's eShop in Japan on May 11, 2016 and Aksys Games published the title in the West on October 13, 2016.

was the wii sequel any good?

No idea. I skipped the Wii and WiiU and didn't play a lot of games in general those years.

This game is bizarre. I've tried it at least five times but I can't go past the first hour. While Theresia or Time Hollow were perfectly fine as far as DS gems went

It is pretty rough and the awful translation didn't help.

I couldn't get into Theresia but I fucking love Time Hollow.

That's a good woman.

The deepest darkest reaches of the Eshop and Steam where no one bothers to look.

Kyle wasn't a real person iirc

Ostensibly a salesman, but his real job was to "clean up" and find lost things

that's still too vague.

And yet Kyle won't put a ring on her and start a family.

Not really. Ed's business was kind of like information brokering and occasional evidence retrieval/disposal. While they probably never did business with any criminals, they helped out people who didn't want certain items getting into the wrong hands. Bradley's only important item for Kyle was the box with the letter, but he knew it'd be too suspicious if it were just the box and left the magazine and lighter as red herrings.

Ah, thanks for taking the time to reply.

Definitely want to replay 1 then finally play 2. About how long are they? They look like the comfy type of length where you can beat each in a weekend, right? Maybe 2-3 solid sittings each?

it'll take you a bit longer than that

Is this now an underappreciated DS gems thread?

They died. The DS was an experimental era where developers took risks to make more unique stuff but the sad truth is most of those aren't profitable.

Now there's a crossover I never expected to see.

Did anyone here play Again: Eye of Providence?
I remember how back in the day it flew under the radar so far below that some people don't even know it's the actual last game Cing ever made (Last Window had already been released in Japan). It was fucking garbage, didn't even finish it, Cing deserved to die even if it hurts to know.

You're not alone. The translation was awful but I put up with it for best girl.

Attached: luxpain1.png (960x720, 77K)

I also beat it on the first try without realizing until later just how hard it is top get the true ending.

Has a good plot idea, but was a bit rushed and the translation didn't help at all. Also, the JP VA list is pretty amazing with the MC being Noctis's and Joker's VA I believe.

some of my games don't seem to work anymore anyway, rather odd, all my N64 games still do.

I've heard of this game. Apparently the original Japanese version is supposed to be good, but the English version is horrible and has an atrocious translation that completely ruins the game.

>but the English version is horrible and has an atrocious translation that completely ruins the game.
It's true. Half the characters say you're Japan and the other half say you're in New York. It's like two different people were localizing and not speaking to each other. Also awful grammar.

I always come back to these games around my birthday. The Kyle Hyde games speaks to my soul, it's so interesting seeing a character that isn't a teenager dealing with life in a realistic way

man I feel lucky getting Last Window before it became really expensive

Speaking of DS visual novels, has anyone heard of Kabu Trader Shun? It's a Japan only stock trading VN from Capcom. It's kind of like Ace Attorney in a sense, but with a different profession.
