The only time stopping me from buying the vita version right now, is that i'm a bit unsure of how well it's going to control on PSTV. I haven't played VLR yet either, but as far as i've heard that game is pretty manageable with a normal controller. Perhaps people who have played ZTD can imagine how it's going to play on PSTV, based on how much touch is needed?

I need a recap on VLR. Is there a good YouTube channel you guys recommend?
I hope the game being a good bit shorter is due to cutting back on the redundant dialogue. My biggest problems with 999 and VLR dealt with having to hear certai things overexplained. I don't mean the science/philosophy babble. I mean stuff like "If we do X, Y will happen" being explained over and over and over again in the same timeline.

I plated VLR on PSTV and it was super easy to control, I'm sure ZTD will be the same.
I believe the OP has a link to a recap video for both 999 and VLR.
You're going to be worried till the last minute then. The majority of Amazon release day deliver orders don't ship till the day before release.

That's nice to know, thanks!
Hope it applies to PS3 controller as I don't have a PS4 one yet.

PS3 controllers work fine on the PSTV. It's what I used before I got a Vita.

I tend to have mine shipped two days before the release date so if mine doesn't ship by the end of tomorrow (I've never had anything ship out on Saturday or Sunday) then I'll definitely begin to get worried too. I talked to an Amazon rep and they assured me that I will get my game on the 28th though so I'll try to trust him haha.
This does apply to PS3 controller!
No problem!
Both videos linked provide great coverage of the stories.Yeah I know, sorry if i wasn't clear. I meant that hopefully "super easy to control" applied to the PS3 controller as well, since it doesn't have the touchpad that the PS4 one has.
his does apply to PS3 controller!
Awesome

Um sorry to be a negative nancy but my experience was so far removed from this one. I played the game first on the Vita and that was great but the second time on the PS TV (with a friend) was it...exceedingly awkward and unwieldy for the puzzle rooms. I would call it basically unplayable with the PS3 controller and barely passable (C-) with the PS4 controller.

Is there a better video for recapping VLR than the one in the OP? That one is just a Let's Play video of the finale.

Have to disagree with you here. I've been playing it again on PSTV and it controls identically to the Vita version 99% of the time. Navigating the escape rooms is barely any different at all, since the touch controls felt far worse than the analog sticks on Vita. The only difference is when you have to solve a puzzle, since those require touch controls, you have to click L3 once and use the cursor to solve it, but that works fine. Not sure what made the experience so bad for you, but it definitely didn't for me.
no one has a shipping date for any version, switching won't make it come faster

Maybe this will explain why I saw someone on my friends list playing this a few days back

Thank you so much for this. I've been reading the reviews posted in the thread but I'm gonna go on a blackout here shortly I feel.

That's the thing, I want the watch but if that order gets delayed I have no problem cutting it loose and getting the digital version so I can play right away.
Volcynika and Nachos. They said it will be up on Monday.
I never found any good summary video for VLR; someone in this thread recommended watching that part of the Let's Play because all the important information for ZTD is included in it.
If you've already got a PSTV, there is a VLR demo you can download. I imagine ZTD's controls will be about the same.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Too bad about the 3DS version, but I don't own a Vita nor have a great gaming PC so I'll have to settle for that...
Do we know the size yet?

So I finally finished-ished ZTD. I say finished-ished because there are still questions and shit and it seems like there should be more unless that is just a set up for a fourth game if they decide to.....
:/
Buuuuuuuuut apart from that it was worth it all.
Anyone find out anything about the supposed rumor of them remaking the watches from the first 2 games that someone posted earlier?

9,558 blocks, or 1194.75MB.
WHERE?
Manhattan, as soon as I get more info, I'll PM you.

That's surprisingly small, considering the game must have a ton of voice clips recorded.
Thank you! =)
I think we haven't heard anything about that since the Aksys Momocon Panel a month ago, nothing official so far.
From a redditor who attended the panel (RPG Site also tweeted about the same things and everything else has turned out to be true).
From what I've heard, unless you've platinumed it, you haven't finished it yet.

Aren't most Vita saves less than 2-3 MB?

Whatever it is, it's completely irrelevant unless they start releasing patches. It has to be on the scale of a few MB.

This is going to be the best Summer. Zero Escape 3! And those review scores. Can't help but get a little too excited right now.
I guess so, I just have very little memory on my 4gb for my PSTV and all it has on it is P4G digital with save data and Danganronpa save data. I can always just delete P4G and reinstall it later on if I really can't fit ZTD save data.

I just hope the physical Vita version isn't stored on the cart like VLR.
Overall how was the 3ds version? Got a vita but i already have money on my eshop account so im just gonna get it there first.
i know a lot of people have asked this already but i REALLY need to know how bad it runs on a 3ds... is it really game breaking or it's like VLR but with laggy cutscenes =/? I don't mind the graphics but if it's unplayable because of small hit boxes and textures i may have to wait untill I get a new pc ....=/
( i have a 3ds XL, and a friend that'll probably spoil everything in this game if i'm not finished with it in two weeks after launch so, yeah :| it's a matter of ruinining the experience because of console performance vs. ruining it because of spoilers )

a few have been released, but apparently theres a strict limit on how many minutes and which scenes you can show, so theres (almost) no footage from the game in them:
