Any idea on how much space this game will take on the Vita? VLR EU was around 1.3GB, and I have 4GB available on my memory card so I should have enough space, but I'm just making sure.
And come to think of it, have we had any news of 999 Vita beyond that vital tweet?

I think it's just below a GB.

or at least put that in the OP about 11 times lol
Hi again. I didn't want to ask more questions but I have a new concern now: how the Steam edition will run on my computer or IF it can even run. At first I wasn't afraid despite my computer being over 5 years old--I mean, it can at run Overwatch perfectly at 60+ fps and Dark Souls 3 at around 25 frames. But, I checked Canirunit and apparently I need 14 more mbs of dedicated video ram to even REACH the minimum requirements of ZTD. Everything else (my i7, ATI 5770 graphics card, etc) checks out but I don't know. I'm wondering if the game will even run even with no anti-aliasing and a relatively low resolution (1400 x 900).
I'm not sure how many people have gotten an early Steam key yet, so I apologize if no one can answer me. I do have a friend with a gaming laptop so I might be able to borrow it...I just don't really want to unless it's 100% necessary.

Oh, that's good. I was expecting it to be more seeing how it's dual language, but that's great.
Heh, that's one way to make it clear. The OT banner should have that in larger writing than the title of the game itself.

If you can run Overwatch and Dark Souls 3 I am literally positive you can run this game.
Thanks. Yeah, I guess my concerns were pretty silly. I was just confused by the whole not hitting minimum requirements thing (gonna go check the website again and see if my computer can, uh, "Run" those two games). Some games are just incredibly poorly optimized, even ports like ZTD that don't even have the graphics to justify it.
I wonder if the game's requirements are overestimated or something. I look forward to hearing what Steam players have to say about the game's performance, especially on higher settings.
Edit: What the heck, I just came back from checking whether or not Overwatch and Dark Souls 3 can run on my computer and apparently I don't even hit the minimum requirements for either. Really? High settings in Overwatch and 60 FPS?
Guess that system really is just subjective over objective. My fears have been quelled.

That's the perfect OT title.
We also need to have a spoiler thread go up simultaneously. Heck, given the number of people playing the game and sharing spoilers in this thread already, one could legitimately make the argument that it's needed before the OT goes live.
Zero Escape Vol 3: Zero Time Dilemma | OT | Can I skip the first two games? Nein Nein Nein
I'm so sorry
don't be sorry, that's perfect
also agree that a Spoiler Thread really is needed when the OT goes up tomorrow. Maybe someone who's already played the game can volunteer?

Do we know if Volcynika is already doing both?don't be sorry, that's perfect

Just need to chime in to say this is a perfect OT title for this game. Now I'm abandoning this thread for fear of accidentally revealing some of the spoilers being posted.
I think Volcynika only mentioned the OT so far, with help from Nachos.
This gets my vote as well

Just a question before amazon starts shipping them since people in here already have the game: How many escape rooms are there? I usually use gamefaqs to lookup a table of content in games since I always like to know how much longer I have, but obviously since this is a new game there won't be an easy answer. So I'd figured I'd ask here.
Edit: And yes put the "Play 999 & VLR first" in the thread OT!

If that's the OT title, the spoiler thread needs to have "Zero Time for Black Bars". Just cheese city up in this
I would rather convince people to play this one, because it is quiet different to the previous ones.
And there are probably people who can handle to not understand everything and may get interested in playing the previous ones. I know I can unerstand stuff even I don't started at beginning, some people can understand that characters have a history and
Well haven't played the game yet, but it's probably better to encourage people to try it than to scare them away by telling them that there is no way to enjoy the series if you don't start from the beginning-

I wholly disagree. There are all kinds of games where it's perfectly sensible to jump into a later installment. There are some where it's less easy, but still doable.
This is not a series where it makes any sense to start here. The stories in these games are so meaty, so convoluted and so interconnected, that it's honestly stupid to encourage anyone to start here. Would you suggest someone pick up the third book of a trilogy? No. That'd be ridiculous. They'd be confused and out of their depth.
I know Lik was interested in making a spoiler thread, so feel free to collaborate?

Thanks!
Sometimes, if you tell people to keep in mind there are previous Books. Well encourage is a bit to much, but every Game Book, Movie should be strong enough to stand on it's own and the first two were strong enough and I believe the third will be too.
it's depends on how you enjoy consum media, but in my opionion saying there is no way to enjoy this game without playing the previous two is exaggerated.
That's true of some games, but VLR wasn't self-contained to begin with (mostly by being too open-ended), and Zero Time Dilemma is going to expect players to be aware of a lot of plot elements. The fact that the creators felt the need to include a plot summary at the very start of the game is a sign of how important they felt it was to playing this game.

When do we expect to get the game on eshop, us euro peasants? On thursday, as usual?
Knowing nothing about the plot of ZE3, I assume it functions in the same way that VLR did to 999: You can play and enjoy it fine without previous knowledge but it will definitely impact your enjoyment of playing the previous games if you want to go back to them after. Anyone who played VLR before 999 certainly had the impact of several moments lessened due to their knowledge from playing VLR and with so much of the cast of the previous games seemingly playing a part in ZE3 I can't help but worry playing this first would make going back to 999 & VLR even harder.

I don't think that's really a sensible way of looking at this.
An individual, self-contained story should be able to stand on its own, sure. But most "series" are functionally one long story told in multiple installments. Sure, each installment needs to be well-written on its own, but they make the most sense in the context of their series.
An example that comes to mind is Lord of the Rings. Technically, most people know them as three books, even though they're really one book/story. Could you read The Return of the King and get enjoyment out of it? Sure, I guess so. Would you get any depth or nuance of the story and characters by doing that? No. And anyone who told you "Oh yeah, go ahead and read the third book to 'get into the series'." would be doing you a disservice.
On top of that, if anything, ZE is a more convoluted piece of fiction than most. People diving into ZTD without playing 999 or VLR are going to be wildly confused by what's going on. Hell, I've played them and I still get confused. I don't think we're doing people any favors encouraging people to jump in at the end.
There are enough videogames out of here that people can avoid starting a series from the third chapter of a trilogy.
Where's the rush? No one is going to destroy all the copies of ZTD in a month.

I really like the idea of the OT title telling people to play the first two games first.
What's with the 20% discrepancy? Compression?

can anyone who has played the game on Vita let me know if it requires use of the right analogue stick at all? my vita's right stick is broke
Looking at the controls, the right stick is only for the camera, and you can just use the left/right triggers instead like VLR for that. It seems looking up and down can also just be down by moving the cursor with the left stick to the top and bottom of the screen. And of course if all else fails you can just use the touchscreen.
You should be fine.
I don't know how tuesday can be the delivery date if they haven't even shipped yet. I also don't have any option for release date delivery in the first place, so...

IT FUCKING SHIPPED

hates soccer, is Mexican
Damn this game is going to be hard to find on Tuesday.
Best Buy here in Austin is not getting any copies, and I just called GameStop and they're getting one. If I can't get one, screw it - I'm going digital on Tuesday.
edit: LOL preorder from Target.com and get it shipped by 12/31!!!

I'm not sure, aren't Vita download files ZIP files and the game install itself will take up a bit more space? Could explain the difference.
Just passing on what Aksys is saying on Twitter, I’m skeptical as well but at least that’s what they are aiming for right now.

What are you trying to pull here, Amazon?
All these positive impressions and I've gotta wait two weeks? Paaainful.
