Catherine Box Art: It's All About the T&A

Well, first there's something I have to comment on: anyone else find it funny that no less than three contributors/editors talked about sex in some or another in the past ten days? First Bob talks about it in his Love and Other Drugs review, Daniel makes an updated version of his sex discussion video, and then Funk and Bob talk about it on the same day with news or video posts. Seems that these past few days have been about sex.

Anyway, I sincerely hope Catherine does make it to the West. Atlus has been one of the few developers to get into the nitty-gritty about sex, gender issues, etc which is something even the boys at Rockstar avoid in GTA. Sure, all the promotional stuff has been overtly erotic and sexual, but it is juxtaposed by the trailers having disturbing implications and horrific themes. The box art is the icing on the cake with it. If I remember right, Katherine is implied to be pregnant and has said it's about time that she and Vincent settle down. Guess this also going to be about Vincent perhaps having to grow up and take responsibility.

Yeah, I don't think I'll be buying this game. I'll probably watch Yahtzee rip into it, though.

Even if it does work for some people, sex is not a motivator for me to buy something. Neither is looking macho. That covers about 95% of all promotional art for games I see on a regular basis. Quirky, however, is much more likely to persuade me to buy something. That, plus a low price on Steam.

I find chicks with glasses very appealing. Mind you we're talking stylish, flattering glasses and not the coke bottle type.
And what's with those bloody sheep? Are they trying to capture the New Zealand market? (A joke to all those across the pond)

I know it's pretty sexual but It's also really well done! I think the artwork looks cool! Anyone know where I can get the poster??

It's for games like this that I wish the Sony/Microsoft would allow games rated Adults Only to be released on their systems. I mean really, what's the use in even having the rating if you can't use it?

My eyes were drawn to their faces, since they are by far the most unrealistic and horrifiying anime women I have ever seen.

Technically it can be used. It's just that most retailers will refuse to stock afterwards, which in turn means no sales. And nobody really wants that.

I would honestly buy it if it only had physiological horror. I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE that stuff.
also anyone else think of the movie "black swan" in how they both have physiological horror and a lot of provocative scenes?

OK... so, other than expensive anime porn (with box art like this, it isn't going to be mature), what is the point of this game?
Should check out some of the videos on YouTube about it, along with the 3 or 4 articles Escapist has had on its pages in the last few weeks about it. Maybe then you'll.... er, still be in the dark like the rest of us :p

Theres been clips that show a platformer like game, adventure style settings and like you mentioned a relationship style sim game. It also features mutilated babies wielding rusty serrated blades attacking you in your nightmares, deformed shrieking girls and walking sheep. I think its the sheer level of mystery around this game that makes it that little bit more appealing (which also makes me wonder if it when it comes out the community as a whole will go, "Ahh... meh.")
So, they are just using the shock factor to sell the games. Only, this one will have everything from evil bloody babies to pure outright sex. No, I believe I'll pass. I still want to see the Zero Punctuation review on it though.
Are you kidding or are you just trying to keep to a pre-conceived opinion?
From what he described, I'd think less "shock factor to sell games" and more "It's likely a horror game, since those kinds of things have appeared in horror games in the past. If Vincent's nightmares are killing people, that further cements in my mind it is probably a horror game." You may as well turn your nose up at Silent Hill.
Yes, I'm less than enthused that Japan is sticking more and more tits in our faces instead of gameplay videos with each bit of information they reveal about this game, but you're clearly trying to hate it no matter what you're told.

In general, I'm pretty sure Atlus does have the balls to localize to NA, but it may or may not make it due to other factors. Then again, Persona 3's "kids shooting themselves in the head" came out fine...

I tried getting into a persona game once. It was the most horrifying, scary things iv ever done.

Maybe this game will be a little easier.
