I said this in another thread about some site showing the typical panty shot, Tom replied saying there is fan service but not over the top. Something along those lines anyway.

Corpse Party |OT| You thought your high school was hell
- Thread starter Takao
- Start date
14 year old girl who is designed so she actually looks 10 + panties = over the top. In fact, not over the top, but revolting.
Yeah, there definitely IS fan-service -- there are some pretty extraneous panty shots here and there, one somewhat extraneous bath scene (I say "somewhat" because it actually DOES serve to develop one of the characters' personalities a bit) and a few somewhat risque comments (mostly from one character who's a bit of a perv, who's also the character involved in the aforementioned bath scene) -- but most of the game is pretty clean (well, in terms of sex, anyway!).
All the sexual content that IS there, too (save for the panty shots, which I really can't defend -- but again, there aren't that many of them!) actually serves to make the game's atmosphere a bit more believable, since it's... pretty much exactly the kinds of things hormone-addled high-schoolers in Japan say and do. It's honestly quite authentic in many ways (especially the pervy character, who I guarantee will remind every one of you of SOMEBODY you know in real life, since we all have a friend like that!), and helps make it easier to identify and sympathize with these characters, in my opinion.
And yeah, those miniskirts? Japanese high-schoolers actually wear those. Hell, the ones these characters wear are CONSERVATIVE compared to some of the skirts I saw high-school girls wearing during my 2 years in Japan.
Also, Toythatkills, that Forza car is amazing! Good show, man!!
And Creid and Phantom: The exact size of the download is unknown as of yet (we won't know until it's actually up on PSN!), but the uncompressed version we've been working with is right around 750 MB, so that's the absolute max it'll be. Most likely, it'll be less, since Sony typically compresses PSN titles -- possibly less than the 600 MB earlier stated, though only time will tell.
Also, Takao, thanks for making the OT! It looks great, and I'm really glad to see so many people taking an interest in the game!

Oh, and Nekofrog: I assume you mean Yuka? Yeah, everybody hates Yuka, don't worry. Fortunately, as far as I can recall, there are not actually ANY panty-shots of her anywhere in the game.
You'll learn to hate her too, I'm sure, and will purposefully follow every route that leads to her grisly demise just so you can see it.
At least, that's what I'm anticipating will happen. I know many of us certainly enjoy it when she dies... more than is healthy to admit, I'm sure!

I will be purchasing this as soon as my new memory stick comes arrives.
Totally loving the 2D art. Thankfully there are still game companies interested in localizing these types of games.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Conveniently, my Thanksgiving Break starts on the 22nd... this game is going to be played.

I believe this is my cue to chime in (as Tom is assuredly referring to me here).
When I get CP in my hands I will spend all my time and energy trying to kill her. KILL HER DEAD.
Just went to check them... You're telling me these girls are 17 in the link below? Holy shit. Looks like 10 years old max.

Thanks for you honest reply. Will definitely skip for sure.

Does rustle actually do the art for this game? He is a lolicon artist.
EDIT: Nope, that rustle picture looks like guest art which isn't really a good representation of the in-game art.
Bought a PSN card for this two weeks ago! Can't wait.
Yeah, there's nothing in-game that's quite so blatant, don't worry. And those happen to be two of the youngest characters -- the one on the left is 16, and the one on the right is 14 (the aforementioned Yuka).
Again, however, that art is not representative of what you'd see in-game. It is "official" art, but it's officially-recognized GUEST art -- as you might imagine for a game that started life as a doujin/indie project, its sphere of influence (and fandom) is rather wide, so quite a few guest-artists tried their hand at drawing the characters, and some obviously had different intentions for them than others. The original creators determined which art to consider "official," and I guess they just really liked that particular piece (and subject matter aside, I don't blame them -- the coloring, perspective and detail in that work is quite impressive!).
Sorry to hear you're skipping this one, Vamp. I'd urge you to reconsider, as the fanservice in this game really is quite minimal -- but if you're that concerned about it, then please, do what you must. I just hope you'll respect the opinions of other gamers who are less offended by this content.

Not sure, I'd help you out if Amazon still sold PSN codes on their website but it looks like that ended for some reason.

Both of those are more expensive than HDMovieSource, so I'd use them. PCGameSupply in particular are pathetic, pretending it'll cost $20 and then throwing a $5 "activation fee" in the basket at the last minute.
Best Buy ?
Never tried buying from them, but it should be okay.

Should probably be in your PSN message box by now. I got mine a while ago.

Yeah I know, I wondered if they'd ban purchasers from outside the US, though.

The Japanese version of the game is about 479.64MB so expect it to be in that ballpark and tomorrow (Nov. 22nd) whenever Grace Chen feels like it.

So what time should the game be up on PSN? I've finally found a Wi-Fi connection, but have won't be able to be her past 5:00 PM due to Thanksgiving break.
Oh thanks! It was sitting in my PSN message box and I had no idea it was already there. $20.75 in my wallet now so I'm ready to get this Corpse Party started!

Anywhere between 3PM and 12AM EDT. US PSN is the least reliable of the three.

well I decided to buy it whenever it goes up on PSN today
I'll play it until it scares me to the point I jump up in the air and drop my PSP which then breaks

I'm really conflicted about this. I definitely want the game but... PSN only... I would need to buy a memory card and they're all pretty pricey everywhere I've looked (I'm in Canada).
You can get a 4GB for about $20 which would cover this.

Depends on if you have a PSP Slim or a Go. I got a 16GB M2 for my Go for $25 6 months ago.
EDIT - DAMN! Amazon has a 16GB M2 for $18.99!

Amazon also has the 16GB Pro Duo for $33.29

Amazon.ca has a 8GB Pro Duo for $26CDN

The video isn't loading for me
I know $20 isn't a whole lot of money by itself, but I would be buying the memory card literally for this 1 game. So the way I see it, it goes from being a $20 game to a $40+ game. That's the part that gets me.
I have a PSP Slim. The 16gb one looks nice but it's US and doesn't ship to me.
I'll probably get that 8GB memory card I guess. It's a bummer to have to buy a card just for this game.
I'm tempted to just wait and get it on the Vita, but I also feel like supporting releases like this is kind of important if I want to see more. I know that's a really dumb way to think about things but I can't help it.

I'll buy this on Friday when I get paid. Been looking forward to this for a while.
I hear ya'! And once Europe gives us a date, we'll pass it along. But until then, we're in the same boat as you: just playing the waiting game. (Which is nowhere near as fun as the horror game!)
Nice, it's coming to Europe? Really great to see you guys bringing niché games out over here, it's much appreciated! Will definitely buy this on UK PSN
Tried Best Buy and they don't accept non-US Paypal accounts, but this worked great, thanks!

So I got the game. But it doesn't have any super robots in it or anything. So I might not get around to playing it until this weekend or later.
