FUCKING FINALLY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.




Some gamers die never to see the game they always wanted to play come out. Thankfully this is the game I'm waiting for and I'm glad to survive 2020 to see this get announced and have a solid release date

 

[TintoConCasera]

Dunno what this is, but yesterday certain imageboard was filled with this so I guess it must be big.

Anyway, glad you are happy man.

 

[JORMBO]

Will they translate and release it outside of Japan?

 

[MaxwellParrish]

Look quite High production value for a visual Novel, but wasn't the original version an eroge? I can't see this remake to be too faithfull, then. Do anybody know if a western release Is to be expected?

 

[Jill Valentine]

I feel really old right now. Duke Nukem Forever tier.

 

[killatopak]

Will they translate and release it outside of Japan?

Almost assuredly as this is a console release.

I would have been doubtful of a translation if it was pure PC. Still PC release would have opened it for fan translation.

The question is who will make the translation cause that changes some things.

It was an eroge at the time but it was such a minor thing at the end of the day. Fate/Stay Night was also an eroge but they released Realta Nua which was a PS2 rerelease without all the lewd bits. Removing the sex isn't that big of a deal.

 

[Fuz]

...it's a visual novel.

 

[Jack Videogames]

That's great now we can hope they someday release an anime as Tsukihime never had one.

 

[Jack Videogames]

...it's a visual novel.

Yeah but it's one of the biggest names in the genre. I'm sure Japan is going nuts over the news.

Glad to hear this. I will try to keep an eye on this game, hoping the release It at a reasonable price

 

[FStubbs]

Isn't it sad, Sacchin? (Hope they finally fix that)

Yeah but... it's a visual novel.

 

[killatopak]

Yeah but... it's a visual novel.

who are you again and why should I care?

That about sums it up.

 

[Fuz]

That about sums it up.

It's still a visual novel.

 

[killatopak]

It's still a visual novel.

So?

 

[Fuz]

So?

I'm just kidding around, there's no need to get salty and take it all personal like you just did.

Anyway, what's the point in a remake of a VN? People who played it know the story already, which is the whole point of the game.

That's true of any remaster. Prettier graphics, story and gameplay stay the same.

I mean, it's a visual novel. It's pretty safe to assume that people who are into those kinda care about the visual aspect of it and would appreciate an update.

 

[Komatsu]

I still recall the early 2000s in anime boards such as hongfire, when everybody was ON FIRE about Tsukihime. It's been a long journey...

Supposedly added some previously cut content. An additional route, a redone ost and artwork. A much more cohesive story and closing up some plot holes regarding its connection to other Type-moon works. There are already changes like possible new character and plotlines in the trailer that wasn't there in the original game.

The first Tsukime was done in 2000 long before Type Moon was big as it is. It was a 3 person indie studio just planning on releasing their game on Comiket. The writer, the artist and the music composer. Their team was barebones. Basically, you can't buy the first game officially in any capacity as there are just limited number of copies. There are no official translation as everything surrounding Tsukihime which was the base game, Kagetsu Tohya and Meltyblood didn't have official english releases and only had fan translations.

This is a big deal for me and probably some fans of Type-moon along with the Fate series because the characters in the game are featured in numerous Type-Moon series works such as Fate/Grand Order and Carnival Phantasm without english speaking fans knowing who they are or where they come from. An official translation would help put that to rest as that would make it more accessible.

 

[Bernkastel]

Still have to wait for Steam release .

 

[The Pleasure]

Only reason Tsukihime is known is for Melty Blood and the toilet tournament.

 

[RavageX]

I thought this was an anime? I remember seeing one a long time ago with that vampire looking girl. About some guy who could see the lines/points on how to destroy anything.

The anime is very very poor adaptation of the game. Like arbitrarily adding parts like a hot spring episode where there is none in the game. Most fans choose to ignore it even exists.

And yes it is about a vampire girl and a guy who could see lines and points of death.
