Atlus' New Catherine Screens Tease and Titillate

[lord.jeff]

Not a persona game but close enough, guess I'm finally going to buy a new console.

 

[Carnagath]

So basically it's Persona without the boring combat? Cool, if it's atmospheric and emotionally engaging enough it should be well worth checking out.

I feel like a douche, but I want to play this fucking game NOW.

"Our game has breasts... Wait, shit! We meant depth! Our game has depth!"

Yeah, this looks like it is going to be a smoldering pile of shit.

Aaaaaaaand here we have it: essentially EXACTLY how i feel about this.

Thanks for posting that; makes my day slightly easier

I played a bit of it this weekend (import - with art book and soundtrack ^.^).

While I don't understand the story due to language barriers and my translator being in Montreal for a few days, I can tell you all this -

This game is h-a-r-d.

Playing on normal, I got to the last part of stage 2 where a giant fork impaled me a few times (until I ran out of continues). Will have to play again from my last save.

Have you patched it? From what I've heard, they rebalanced the difficulty settings.

"What do kids like these days?"
"Well, tits obviously."

You think only (male) kids today like tits? Beacuse I'm preety sure previous generations were the same in that regard. But anyway, it's not like we adults can claim to be all that different.

Anyway, Catherine has a nice dress in that picture, although it's not quite as..."exotic" as I expected it to be (although certainly much more so than Katherine's clothing).

 

[Elyxard]

This is Atlus, they're going to treat sexuality with maturity in the way they did with Persona 4. I have no doubts that it's going to be great.

 

[Jamous]

Well that looks very VERY pretty. I want it. I want it now. GIVE IT TO MEEEEEEEEEEE.

Why does his shirt say what it says? Seriously, that's messed up yo.

 

[ph0b0s123]

Hah, I love it how whenever there is news about this game someone has to sneak in a pun in the title. XD

Show me the boobs damn it! Don't promise screens with boobs and then don't deliver. That's just mean...

In their defense, there are boobs in the pictures. Just, you know, covered...

There's more leg shown than boobs, so it did not really deserve a headline. A picture or two showing a bit of cleavage for a video game does not deserve a headline like that, unless it is really out of the ordinary. Which this was not, by game standards....

 

[Weaver]

Guess I'm the only one who thinks it will be bad.

 

[Pearwood]

I have no idea what the hell this is but I want it.

 

[NickCooley]

Eh, the one with the curly blonde things on her head looks ditzy, which usually translates to irritating in Japanese games and anime. Now the one with the glasses, she looks like the sharp, bossy, domineering type. Ohhh yes. Shout me down! Tell me I'm worthless! Now get the cane! I'll... I'll... Err.

I'll be in Religion and Politics... must think pious thoughts. Must be clean!

If you have a quality, be proud of it. Let it define you, whatever it is.

(Now lets see who can name what movie that's from).

I've been waiting for this title for some time, I've even thought of pre-ordering it....

 

[DanDeFool]

Looks pretty sweet. Extra glad there'll be an option for English subtitles.

Still, putting "Rape" on the guy's t-shirt? Not exactly very subtle in the imagery department, Atlus. If I walked around downtown wearing that shirt, I would be lucky if I got away with just getting spat on.

 

[kellith1stnonly]

I've been psyched about this ever since it was first announced. I'm still holding off on preordering it until I'm sure there won't be a collector's edition/retailer bonus. I actually signed up for Atlus' newsletters just for Catherine news.

Sadness... I'll be leaving for Japan right before it comes out, so I will have to wait about a month to play it until my boyfriend brings my copy over with him.

 

[DustyDrB]

Erotic horror? I just thought it looked like a fun game.

Though I have to be honest, and it may make me look weak. I'm definitely not going to buy it in store. Maybe that's my slight prudishness coming out.

 

[Paragon Fury]

DO WANT.

Now I just have to decide who I like more.......
