That makes it sound like it won't be Grisaia or Fault since they've already been porting those for a long while (with no mention of Mighty Rabbit), which would be a massive shame since those are probably the two I care about most. I guess Planetarian is a possibility since that was on PSP/PS2 already, but with Key not partnering with Sekai any more that seems unlikely.

What, not Grisaia? I hope that gets a physical release too.

I hope we get Clannad. I have no idea how realistic that is.

edit: I should say though, this is absolutely fantastic news and I'm thrilled to hear of the possibility of more VN's on Vita, and physical too.

 

[Curler]

Darn, still gotta wait tomorrow for titles

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Clannad was already released on Vita in Japan, so it'd just depend on how the relationship between Key and Sekai still stands.

 

[Olengie]

Better be goddam Grisaia.

They weren't porting them for a long while. They just started porting them a few months ago. They could port the rest.

 

[Shizuka]

Just made a thread for the partnership announcement.

 

[YianGaruga]

Now this a lot more crazy news than I expected to wake up to. LRG/Mighty Rabbit will port Ren'Py to Unity so their VNs can be ported to pretty much any console.

Although that does make me wonder if Sekai has actually done any porting work at all until now.

Anyway, exciting!

Unless you're selling these games after you beat them, or waiting to trade them in for PS5 or something, you're likely collecting them.

I disagree with this. It's just not worth the time or effort to trade or sell used games.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

I disagree with this. It's just not worth the time or effort to trade or sell used games.

So the appeal of having the games outweighs the appeal of exchanging them for money or goods. People who don't value games as something worth keeping see more appeal in selling or trading them.

Maybe he just throws them in the trash

 

[lazyproblems]

They didn't specify whether it would be shown at the actual press conference, so it might just be an announcement on the PS blog, but they said that Sony was really supportive and wanted to announce it themselves... I don't want to get my hopes up, but maybe they will give LRG a bit of time at the conference during their indie segment?

Spoiler

and announce a physical release of Yakuza 5 with it

Wow, if Sony is actually getting involved in the announcement that's a big deal for LRG. I don't think they're doing their PS Livecast tomorrow, so it may actually get a mention during the press conference. I'm excited to see what's announced.

Valuing your time too much to mess with EBay or GameStop doesn't make games a desirable collectible. That's what I'm trying to say with the previous post.

There are plenty of people that don't fit your black and white definition. I suppose the word likely leaves some wiggle room in your original post.

 

[YianGaruga]

Valuing your time too much to mess with EBay or GameStop

I think that's usually called laziness. It takes no time at all

 

[NinjamicWZ]

If you don't desire them, why do you have them? Throw them in the trash.

 

[Kresnik258]

So, can anyone explain this to me:

https://twitter.com/TheMightyRabbit/status/742128985904193536

They're porting an engline (Ren'Py) into an Engine (Unity)? Or am I misunderstanding something?

Which of Sekai's VN's run on Ren'Py?

 

[Hobbun]

With Gamestop, I could agree with you, as you could just stop at one on your way home from work/school. But I can see his point in not wanting to bother with eBay. I wouldn’t want to bother with trying to sell a game through eBay. You need to set up a seller’s account as well as the information (usually including pictures) to sell the game. Then package it up and send it to the buyer.

It’s more than I would want to deal with. I have used “I sold it on eBay!” a couple of times, for my more expensive collectibles that I no longer wanted, but I would never do it myself because I just don’t want to bother.

If he truly doesn’t want to keep the game, what I have done sometimes is sell it to Half Price Books, who do take video games. You’ll get peanuts for it, but if you are just looking to get rid of it, it is better than throwing it out.

However, I do agree with him that just because you keep a game, doesn’t automatically make you a ‘collector’. Someone could hold onto their games just in case they want to revisit them again. As I said in my prior post, I feel a true collector is someone who tries to preserve the value of the item, and would usually keep the item sealed.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

That's collecting. Continuing to do so results in a collection. Comic collectors read their comics too.

I wasn't saying you can't be a collector and play, but you are also not pigeon-holed as being a collector just because you hold onto games for your own reasons, as well.

It isn't one or the other, collector or non-collector, there can be several variables involved.

But this is getting to be off topic, let's get back to LRG.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

hold onto games

That's collecting.

for your own reasons

Those would be the reasons for doing so.

 

[AuthenticM]

Please do a release for Stardew Valley on PS4!

 

[Hobbun]

That's collecting.



Those would be the reasons for doing so.

We are just going to have to agree to disagee.

 

[Pellegri Testament]

It isn't one or the other, collector or non-collector, there can be several variables involved.

Another variable is being a pack rat who's too lazy to do anything with their stuff after they're done with it and have no intention of going back to it. Collectors are usually one in the same with people who hold onto their games to eventually play through them again. There's also a small amount of collectors who just like to collect and never actually do anything with most of their collection, thinking that it will hold value later on down the line or they just have some sort of issue that goes beyond collecting.

Being a collector isn't a bad thing like you're seeming to make it out to be, there's more than one type of collector. The type that people are talking about is the kind that collects with the intent to play, not the pack rat type or the type that has an issue they possibly need to seek help on. If you hold onto your games for an extended period of time, with the intent to replay, there's a high chance you consider yourself a collector.

Sorry, wasn’t trying to indicate being a collector as a bad thing to be. Not at all. My point was just that I feel collector isn’t a black or white label.

I’ve never viewed myself as a ‘collector’, as I don’t go out of my way to collect obscure or expensive games. Or, I don’t purchase multiple copies to keep one sealed. I purchase one copy (even if on different systems) to open and play, although I do appreciate the games I have and rarely have gotten rid of any.

So I guess in your definition I am a collector, and I am ok with that.

Considering the collector market on the SNES original, the PS4 game sounds like a good match for LRG.

Hope you guys were able to cut some deals, take some names this week.

If they somehow got a magical Nintendo partnership going: Please, get BoxBoy and Pushmo and Crashmo and Dillon and Fatal Frame and especially Earthbound Beginnings too.

Such a partnership wouldn't happen though.

Great announcement, haven't played nuclear throne but wanted to.Thanks LRG!

Its actually been like 6 months. I remember the game being launched during PSX 2015 in December. I also bought it then. I still havnt beaten the game because of the crashes.

 

[Kresnik258]

Nuclear Throne falls between the border of "obviously I'm buying this" and "ehhh not interested" for me, so I think for that reason I probably will try and get it at least just in case

Octodad this Sunday! \o/

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Received my replacement Futuridium. Thanks! Disc was loose, so I opened it to reset the disc.

How will the Octodad batches be divided? When are they going up for sale?

Nevermind: This title will be released on Father's Day - June 19, 2016 at 10AM EDT. A second batch will be available on the same day at 6PM EDT.

Really surprised they are doing this as a DD-title. An Atlus first.

LRG plz. The cover looked amazing too

 

[Prelude.]

They should consider announcing games way earlier than what they're doing now.

I'd like to know if it makes sense to wait on buying a game if it's gonna end up published by LRG later down the line.
Like in this case with Caligula, they showed interest in it, so I'm not gonna buy it digitally, but what if they'll never publish it?
Same with, for example, Severed or Ray Gigant. Are they happening? I'm waiting because I'm hopeful they'll happen but if I just keep waiting I might lose interest eventually. And no, I don't have that much money to waste on "double dipping".

Yes please! I was really interested in it, but I don't want to have to upgrade my Vita's memory card just to get a digital version. If it gets a physical edition, I'd be there day one!

Thing is, they announce some things wayyyy in advance (YIIK; Volume by the looks of it). I assume it's beneficial to some of these devs to get people to buy digitally and then again physically, but equally they may get people holding off too.

I don't think they'd be too affected by announcing a game early, this kind of news doesn't reach the majority of their audience.
