Some announcement about the new Sakura Wars game about to start

Gameplay's coming at the end, so go do something else for 20 minutes if you're an EOP.

>Switch can't handle this level of graphics
It's running on the Hedgehog Engine, how it can't handle?

Switch is a hard locking piece of shit potato that’s how, switch beggar

Why is it that the west can only do lazy remasters of classic games, while Japan actually attempts to resurrect dead franchises?

most of the industry have no talent just riding on old titles that people care about

pretty sure gameplay was promised for this

Looks like Tetsu Katano the producer is a big Bleach fag and has the entirety of Bleach in both physical and digital hence why Kubo was the first pick when they decided to change artists.
I'll drop some info whenever something important is told so keep the thread alive

there gonna announce a switch ps4 collection please

Oh boy Kubo drawing demons you usually fight. This will end well.

Fully 3d LIPS scenes!

Let's be honest; if anybody needs a good artist for anything, Kubo is the best man.for the job. Motherfucker has style. Even thought his style feels weird, like in this game.

Even if they do, it'll stay in Japan. No way Sega will translate four old games.

>Sakura
>Azumi

What is protag and not-Gemini called?

PC version when? No way in this world I am buying this on the PS4.

Imagine not being able to read.

all those girls are nice

Depending on choices Kamiyama can be a cool ass motherfucker or an absolute crazy perv. Most of the new hanagumi dislikes the captain at the start for "various reasons" as is tradition

Aizen. Everyone knows his name is Aizen.

Didn't know the girl was called Sakura. So it's a hard reboot, huh? That makes me a little sad.

>So it's a hard reboot
What? Sakura is a pretty popular name, and the new Sakura looks up to the old Sakura.

>whole lotta nothing so far besides a brief synopsis and various tidbits about the characters
Guess they're waiting for tgs to splurge their load.

Attached: sleeping-snoring.jpg (992x762, 557K)

no, it's a soft reboot. it's in the 1940's and sumire is the only one left in the old troupe

better to start fresh

It's not hard reboot. It's set like a decade after the originals and the original cast has 'disappeared' due to some event

Not really. It takes place a dozen years or so after the previous game. Sakura Amamiya knows of Sakura Shinguuji.

Is that so? I assumed they wouldn't straight up reuse the name of the previous main heroine for the new one without making it a reboot.

How censored will it be

>Protag reveal to be Satan Aoi

This is what I don't want to happen but if it gets a pc release might just wait for that

He did come back at the start of 2. Might as well pop back up.

Sakura wars games have literally nothing to censor.

Those characters are looking mighty unethical

10-year-old girls in the shower, sometimes.

>Since when you're under the impression Aizen wasn't Satan Aoi the whole time?

>毒舌
Guess I'm going for Claris.

at least better that way
compare to whatever it is in Sakura 5

Snoy will find a way. Fuck snoy and fuck Sega for not releasing this on Switch.

did they announce the systems?

NotYoruichi is already problematic.

Only censorship station 4 so far.

You mean NeoHalibel?

>88888888888888888888
the fuck is this?

Didn’t snoy removed the trailer from their main youtube account?

She looks like a Bleach character.

please dont release the game in some 2020 shit like everything else this is my last chance for 2019

Japanese clapping

is it?

Real women are scary.

2020 for EOPs.

yes

Gameplay now.

Streams of the number eight such as 8888 represent applause. They're read パチパチ, the sound of hands clapping together one after another in applause, as in the phrase パチパチと拍手する

oh. you live in jp land?

SUMIRE

SUMIRE

Man, those were some sweet blue flowers.

oh god its that overacted mocap style, plus no facial animation.

No, this is common knowledge if you're used to watching niconico.

Looks God-tier, let me guess though.. no xbox version?

>no exposed shoulders
KUUUUUUUUUBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I don't get on there since I have no idea what to do

She's not a teenager anymore, it's unbecoming of a lady.

i never played Sakura wars, what is the gameplay like? is it a VN or is it like Super Robot Wars but with sakura trees instead of super robots?

why does she look like Kizuna Ai?

Rival/best friend is voiced by SUGITA. GOTY confirmed

It's basically a timed VN with lots of choices, combined with fairly trivial turn based strategy.

>censorship station 4
It's ridiculous we live in a world where that's not even a shitpost.
Fuck California.

Wtf? She’s ugly now

It's a mix of VN and SRPG, yeah.
But instead of the usual leveling up, your team's battle stats will be dependent on your interactions during the previous VN segment. A girl you give a lot of attention will have massive stats and generally destroy enemies left and right.

There's Shanghai(?) Kagekidan as well. They'll be introduced next time

>game let you save loli's lives
sold.

cute and funny

Sumire's got her old naginata hanging up in the manager's office.

the characters move a bit too much, they overdone the mocap, it doesn't work that well for anime style graphics

Man, this looks fucking sick.

The series has always been very over the top, it's set in a fucking theatre. Looks fine to me.

what is LIPS?

The timed choice system.

I played the Wii one. The srpg stuff was only once per chapter and you had to do both it and the boss afterwards in one go. Kind of a waste.

so we can meet the characters we like at different time?

complaining that your xbox doesn't have anime games would be like complaining about your local mcdonalds not selling ramen... you are in the wrong place for jap stuff. you should be asking about a switch or even pc version because those are at least in the realm of possibility.

What? No, the choices themselves are timed, so you don't sit around like a sperg for 20 seconds trying to decide how to reply.

the shitty idea that will make people reset every cinematics to get the good choice instead of having fun

So Clarice for the first right?

Oh god. Age has not been graceful with her.

>smol ninja rukia with a full body net
muh

man it looks cheap, not surprising but

They're literal bobblehead at times, there's "over the top" and "unatural". And they only showed calm, mondane discussions so far.

Are you crazy?

he expect a constant crowd everywhere to excuse his purchase, empty rooms are cheap indie shit.

are you a gay?

downstairs looked like statically placed unity store assets. maybe it was lack of shadows

did he play the original games? this is a step above the point and click stuff

>working mirrors
BASED

Eh, I'm not a fan of the new hairstyle either. From the left she's still cute as hell.

japanese games not made or funded by square/capcom have AA/indie budgets by western standards.

>player goes into a random warehouse
>EHHHH AHHHHH OHHHHH SUGGEEEEE

Fucking japs can't they at least pretend to be actual humans

Shame the shiny floor was faked. The whole place looks great, though.

If you weren't an EOP zoomer, you'd recognise these locations and have a hard dick right now.

oh no! using the name of something to describe it!

they're not even indie game tier
dragon's crown for example had a budget of 1 million dollars, and it was vanillaware's most expensive game ever
that's mom's basement tier by western standards

I'm looking forward to this sakura wars

lmao 2 Orihimes!

That's nice, SEGA. Now can we finally get localized ports of the previous games?

>I said the magic word! I WIN
adults are talking, fuck off.

it's a dating sim vn, there are srpg segments in mechs but they are a joke. Don't get this if you're expecting SRW, let alone a good srpg

Sorry, but they are too Japanese for western gamers.

The real question is who will sing this timeless classic?
youtube.com/watch?v=gtYNHMlQnqk

they're trying to sell a game

theres no excuse not to release these games now we get other shitty VNs over here that are just as japanese as sakura wars

Amazingly, the few battles you do in these games are still harder than modern mainline srw games.

PC/Switch or die
not supporting californian platform releases

All the troupes

>Switch
Won't run it.
>PC
Only if you want billions of people to play it for free without receiving a single cent for your efforts.

people in these seats would not be able to see the stage

>Won't run it.
nothing shown so far wouldn't run on a switch.

But can i be both ? A badass pervert. Slaying pussy and demon alike.

>when you fight the kouma for the first time and they fuck your shit up
I love when games do this shit.

KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Kubo was a mistake.

god i want a second one

the villains will be hot. what else do you want?

I was worried in the first trailer because the new protag looked "too cool" to be a silly perv like Ogami

Sakurai recently in an interview said that Japanese game franchises with budgets over 10mil dollars could be counted on 2 hands.
It's why Japanese companies dont have massive layoffs or go bankrupt easily just because one game failed.

Ogami looks pretty cool most of the time, I wasn't too worried.

Kubo is a God when it comes to character design, faggot. He's just a total hack when it comes to the script, that's it.

>1millions dollar is "indie"
why do those "people" think they belong o na videogame wbsite?

Look like PS3

No shit, it's a PS4 game. There isn't anything on the PS4 that doesn't look like it belongs on the PS3.

Nobody disagrees to that tho? The comment you're replying to was stating a literal fact. Learn to read esl-kun

Wrong. Right back at you.

It's funny because NIS is currently experiencing exactly that.

NIS is in trouble because they were literally scammed by sony.

>anastasia
>big nigger amazoness
>not small blonde loli

What were they thinking?

Attached: index.jpg (251x201, 13K)

Weebshit, maybe. There's plenty of games that look much better than PS3 titles. But for a shallow weeb game, this honestly looks pretty good

What did you expect from the Hedgehog Engine 2, good graphics?

>Sakura Wars
is that like jap star wars

NIS is killed because of a botched launch of a mobile game.

do you think 1 million isn't indie?

Blonde Orihime already took the blonde hair.

yes. what the fuck, 1million is already a lot. That's not indie anymore. by a large margin.Just because some biollionaire corpo are paying "small studios" to flood the indie tag with professional high budget minigames doesn't mean they are indie, they are backed up 100% with free money.

>redheaded tomboy high ponytail oneesan
>slightly brown classy older (like 25?) lady
Fuck my dick wants to play this.

It's certainly a lot more popular.

Brown lady is 19, protag is 20. She just seems older, like Maria in the original.

You can get a free ps4 theme if you answer and survey + subscribe to news mailing list. After the game releases.

>The cute little yellow one is underage

Just twist the knife you fucks

It's not on PC or Switch so it's safe.

Oh god that is tragic
You couldn't at least leave her shoulders exposed, Kubo?

Attached: 739537_p0.jpg (334x463, 52K)

But that's the opposite of safe.

If they made Sumire too cute, the game would be ruined. Everyone would just be asking why they can't romance Sumire, why they're forced to go out and talk to the actual members of the squad instead, and why they can't have Sumire backing them up with her OP as fuck naginata range.

And will have to watch Ogami come out of nowhere and cuck them, because like hell would Bamco risk pissing off long time players with waifu stealing

She looks fine

>everyone fucking died, even the lolis

Why?

Except if Ogami cucks you, the other players who didn't pick Sumire will flip out. She's destined to be single forever, or at best, left ambiguous.

>mc talks to a girl
>ehhhh?! kyaaa!
Weebkino.

>that cleavage on the red head
>nothing to censor

she's probably not wearing panties

Of course not, she's no western harlot. Fundoshi for life.

I mean she's wearing no underwear at all

Time tends to kill people, you know.
The biggest mass-murderer of our world.

PS4 games still have cleavage

MC-kun is way cuter than Ohgami and his faggot nephew

That's nothing. With the correct context you can even show nude loli bathing, just released this month.

She's from Yumeutsutsu Re:Master. That's yuri vn

Rip-off from German though

the switch would melt trying to run this game.

>Kurarisu
I'm sure it'll be Clarice

NIS was in financial trouble for awhile now. Everything fell apart when the Disgaea director left.

Why do you need it? The games are cheap, ¥500 each

EOPs are still holding out hope for an official translation. Maybe if the new game sells 10 million in the west, guys!

Plus the old consoles that they ran on.

Just run them all in an XP VM for free.

You're doing it wrong if you aren't playing them all on one system anyway, importing your save is fun.

>Just run them all in an XP VM for free.
The XP ports are a fucking nightmare.

>Plus the old consoles that they ran on.
Saturn is cheap. Dreamcast is even cheaper.
And of course

Yeah, and a Saturn would be like ¥2,500 and a Dreamcast around the same. You can't spend $50 on a console and another $20 on games?
That's cheaper than one single PS4 game

I already got that covered, personally. However, in the interests of increasing the number of players who can (easily) play the old games, it'd be nice to have them on a system that's currently relevant. That'd be true even for Japanese players who don't need translations.

Attached: 4718.jpg (900x1200, 362K)

I didn't know they ported them all to Dreamcast

Yeah, Dreamcast got ports of 1 and 2, was the original console for 3 and 4, got Hanagumi Columns 2 (but not a port of 1), and a few assorted bonus accessory discs.
