Support NeoGAF

[Shizuka]

What possible purpose would this embargo serve?

I have no idea. Really, I can't think of one good reason to impose such embargo.

 

[Nudull]

Yes, that was not my intention. I own up to what I did and I apologize if people didn't like it.

I feel like a jerk. Apologies.

 

[Curler]

What possible purpose would this embargo serve?

The only possible thing I can possibly think of is that they forgot to bring their online marketing stuff in order to make the announcement. Or they have to clear it through their PR first. Something like that.

 

[Ibuki]

Honestly I agree about the embargo being stupid. It makes me far more interested in what will be announced if it's that important.

 

[Tapejara]

Perhaps IFI wants to have press assets ready to go when they announce everything tomorrow? If they prep the press on what's coming tonight, it'll be easier to rollout information tomorrow morning if/when press packages are ready.

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

What possible purpose would this embargo serve?

In fairness to media outlets, it lets them write their stories and all put them up at the same time. Like any non-review embargo.

 

[Shizuka]

I wonder how far is the reach of NeoGAF. If anyone from IFI is reading this, just lift the embargo already. This is not a nice way to tease your fanbase.

But, in any case, I'll wait another hour after the announcements take place, hopefully something happens.

It's not like they really need the time. I mean, Gematsu etc does announcements on the spot, adding more as they get announced. Snappy quick is key, then the details can roll out .

 

[YianGaruga]

I tweeted at them but I doubt it matters. I don't think this is the right way to do announcements these days. Live tweets and involving the fanbase seems much more effective.

 

[Auron_Kale]

I'd have gone tonight, but the invite ended up in my buddy's junk folder lol. So we missed the RSVP window.

 

[AlbionHero]

Remember Hawthorne: You can be a hero to the common people tonight.

 

[Curler]

Sucks cause the announcements are like, any minute now

 

[aspiegamer]

.

That Blanc drink actually sounds reeeeeealy good. The others I'm sort of terrified of just by looking at the ingredients which doesn't bode well for how they actually taste when thrown together. A+ to whoever named the things. Can't compete on name with NISA's "Prinny Bomb" drink from a few months ago but that sort of writes itself and an unfair advantage.

 

[Shizuka]

I guess IFI still wants to be like NISA, but this is another opportunity that shows they still haven't reached that point just yet.

 

[Vylash]

nvm

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I'm drubk

 

[Barrylocke]

I'm drubk

Some info deliverer you are

 

[Xenus]

I'm drubk

How many of each drink have you had so far?

 

[OniBarubary]

I'm drubk

This amused me a lot more than it should have

 

[Ventara]

There's an embargo? What is this crap? Why do this to your fans who are staying up late to catch the announcements? This isn't some AAA release.

 

[Brew124]

I'm drubk

I find this hilarious, haha. Hope the drinks are good!

 

[Vylash]

I'm drubk

well there goes our PM strategy

 

[dakkumauji]

I'm drubk

 

[YianGaruga]

That took way too long.
Anyway, less drinking, more leaking!

 

[Vylash]

well, alcohol does have that effect on the bladder so that's inevitable

 

[Shizuka]

That's good, he can't be accounted reliable for the information he leaks while being drunk.

 

[Ibuki]

That's good, he can't be accounted reliable for the information he leaks while being drunk.

It's ok buddy the leaks aren't coming but you will have all the info you need tomorrow.

 

[Xenus]

Not if he passes out first. Though in some events it happens even then

 

[HawthorneKitty]

 

[mankoto]

Well, Nep U has been dated by Amazon.


There is also an offhand tweet, but I don't know if it's legit or not.

 

[AlbionHero]

Well, its good for the girl gamers out there I guess.

 

[dakkumauji]

HAHA!

 

[Vylash]

lol

 

[AlbionHero]

Its been listed as May 19th for a few months now, btw.

Neptunia Rebirth 3 is June 30th too, for reference.

 

[Kirie]

YAY!

 

[Nudull]

Oooo.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

[Crayten]

Well not really that suprising

edit: What ? Steam too ? oookay thats a suprise.

 

[YianGaruga]

I don't care for that announcement but yay leaks

IFI going all in on Steam too. That's great

 

[darkside31337]

So they aren't even announcements... just announcements that they are interested in maybe doing something? What?

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

The Amnesia anime was bottom of the barrel trash, that's all I know about that property.

 

[Shizuka]

Amnesia? AWESOME!

 

[ColetteBrunel]

Oh Steam And PSV

Physical Vita or DD only?

 

[Hexa]

Well not really that suprising

So high chance for Moero too. Woohoo!

Ah okay. I knew about Rebirth 3. Just not that one.

 

[Ventara]

Eh, I'm not really a fan of otome. Maybe it's just me, but there seem to be way more otome games getting localized than galge games.

Edit: Derp, siliconera article is old.

 

[YianGaruga]

That siliconera article is old. Press is embargo'd and the leaks are the real news

 

[dakkumauji]

So they aren't even announcements... just announcements that they are interested in maybe doing something? What?

It's an announcement.

That Siliconera article is from last year, lol

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Physical Vita or DD only?

DD Only

 

[Yasumi]

So they aren't even announcements... just announcements that they are interested in maybe doing something? What?

That article was from last year. IFI's doing it.
