Yeah, I love how much Japan has been going nuts over this. Wish it was the same here, but it's gotten enough reaction to make me happy.
Right now, many Gaffers excited for TSC probably know about it because of that great thread you made a while ago, the game is pretty obscure and the Suda connection might be lost on many outside of GAF. There will definitely be more people interested in the game once it is officially announced, when other sites write about it and it becomes really clear that this is "Suda's early masterpiece, never before seen outside Japan".
It might also be a bit limiting that the game is only announced for PC right now, a lot of Suda fans are probably console/handheld players.

I wonder if a Vita version is feasible. I got TSC running on my PSP a while ago through some emu-fu:
Also, an awesome art nicht-alles-gold did for me:
Few other wallpapers (from Ward 25):

They made it for the Super Nintendo Playstation add-on and kept it to themselves.
Suda coming back with a vengeance would make me shed tears of joy
It's fine, I hope we get a cool trailer and a release window but that would be asking for too much.

I wonder how long they've been at it for, especially since Suda teased it in The Art of GHM... (Never in a million years did I really expect that to bear fruit.)
But it's always been clear TSC is near and dear to him. I'm glad we're finally getting the whole story of KTP.
haha, nice. I did the same thing a few years ago after buying a PS1 copy, but I never got around to play it. That famous "a game so complicated, even Japanese people found it too hard" line always kept me from even trying the game
A Vita version would be fantastic, but I'd even be happy with an ios/android port that gets released after the PC version. Since you've played through the game, do you think touch controls would work for vita/mobile?

That's ridiculous talk. There's one puzzle that was completely in Japanese and I figured it out entirely on my own just by process and elimination, and I can barely read it. I highly doubt most players had a hard time with it, apart from that stupid hotel segment near the end of Chapter 4. That was more annoying than difficult.
It requires searching key rooms over and over again.. It was like FSR from hell.
And the game is basically a slow paced point'n'click, so I don't see any reason why not. There's nothing that requires fast timing, it's all investigative.
It's arguably perfect for mobile.
I have a gameplay video here from the second chapter(so no spoilers).
The red icons indicate where you can move to, solid yellow suns indicate places you can interact with.
Interesting, thanks! I always associated the game with being incredibly difficult, must have been people exaggerating the difficulty because of the language barrier.
Playism have published games on PS4/Vita and they list both App Stores on their website as platforms they support, so there might be a chance this gets ported.

Ever since I read the primer on it and read up on the cancellation of the fully finished DS port, I thought they would never release it at this rate. This seems like a dream come true. ;~; Also thanks for the wallpapers cj_iwakura! They look amazing(especially the turtle one).

The site's up to 15 polygons, nothing major, but now if you use the retweet widget, this is the message:

I think at best they'd update the DS port to use the PS2 graphics. Anything else would be pointless, IMO. Heck, I don't feel like TSC needs much of an update either.

Fucking sweet. I'd rather a remake of Michigan tho.
Your review of the artbook actually got me to buy it a week or two later. Seeing Suda's comments about TSC made me mildly hopeful, but actually getting remake news was bliss.
Michigan was something else. Especially with the encounter with the infected guy.

I've never played it, but it's been localized, this absolutely deserves to be priority #1.

There's an archive of tweets here:

Some of them are direct quotes from the game.

It's so exciting to slowly see the new English logo coming together. But is the hashtag implying we're waiting until the 6th for the full reveal? I thought Suda tweeted about waiting for 5/1.
Anyway, I really hope that, should this be successful, we get HD ports of PS2 FSR and killer7. It's so great to see the return of classic Grasshopper.

Is the シ in this tweet a typo? It's been bugging me.
Even with Capcom's affinity for remasters, I'm not sure if a killer7 port would be something they see any value in working on; regardless of how well this does. There's still a lot left in their backlog with much more of a reliable audience.

I remember Capcom USA members saying on a K7 stream last year that they'd love to, but they need some financial incentive (enough fan demand, publisher help, etc) before thinking seriously about it.
It's understandable yeah, even if I'd love it. At least it still looks great thanks to its timeless artstyle...

Newest update:
19 polygons. I love how professional the dialogue sounds. I was concerned about whether or not their translation team is up to the task, but it sounds like they are more than capable.

So is this a fair estimation of what we can expect from the logo?
looks like we're slowly getting there, you can clearly make out the R, E and A now that more shards have appeared.
For comparison's sake, the Japanese logo from the PS1 version spells out シルバー事件 (the silver incident/case) but written from top to bottom

not sure if the silver "case" was the official title when the game came out or if that's just what fans called it and it stuck; it's also called the silver "incident" on the box (the word 事件 can mean both, depending on context)
that's what the full logo looks like:

The opening song explicitly says 'The Silver Case', although the JP title is 'Shiruba Jiken'(incident/case). Boy was it fun trying to track down a copy in Tokyo. 
Watched a Teen Reacts video to Doom today and now I want them to do that for this game...the mind melting would be glorious.The opening song explicitly says 'The Silver Case', although the JP title is 'Shiruba Jiken'(incident/case). Boy was it fun trying to track down a copy in Tokyo.

Would never happen, it'd bore them silly.
Unless you did the camgirl section in Kamui Drome, I suppose.

Can already see the reactions in my mind:
"Oh my god, a talking head in a washing machine. Whaaaat"
"Why is that guy telling me to fuck off?"
"Who's Harman?"
"What do I do here, argh the controls are so bad"
"The controls suck."
"This game is so weeeeiiiiird".
lol.

They teased more about the silver case at PAX East! I imagine things will happen soon!

Yeah, it really does look like it's spelling it out...
Part of me's glad they decided to drag it out and not just drop the curtain.

Looks like they're speeding up the rate of the messages? I just woke up and they changed it twice now. (There's not the latest one on @believeinthe_en yet)

Not much longer now. I hope we have a LOT to see after waiting this long.

Boy, am I glad Playism didn't do the reveal today. You all would've gotten seriously overshadowed by P5.
Hope the way's clear tomorrow. Any idea of what time the shroud drops at?

Final countdown, logo looks sick.
