Catherine: Full Body Announced for the PS4 and PS Vita [Updated]
- Thread starter Minako
- Start date
Would be an interesting twist that kind of fits with Vincent's karma lessons. And maybe they'll actually portray the character with some humanity and not be a joke? (doubtful lol)
I am definitely curious what the personality of the third girl will be in with this chapter and how she can relate to the themes of the game and with Vincent.
It says in the OP.
- [There is a new] third "Catherine" named Rin (voiced by Aya Hirano). She is a pianist at Vincent's regular bar, and has an exceedingly honest and gentle personality. Rin's involvement in the story will introduce new branches for the other two "Catherines."
Although I have a ps4 I still hope for an Xbox version. Fingers crossed.
I really hope it doesnt keep you up at night, thinking about how "weird" the platform choice is
Catherine is one of my very favourite games ever. This, even more so than some upcoming new stuff, has jumped up to become my most anticipated title.
All this love and 30 pages for Catherine is wickedly cool to see. We need more mature puzzle story games with good mechanics!
I've also thought SMTV was weird, especially how they positioned it as SMT HD Version at announcement. I imagine PS4 was pulled at some point.
I see that remarking on this gets partisans really riled up, though.
I kinda think they went this route too, but the art book otoh was a total fuck up.
Thread is hot, just the first page alone is.... lol. So I'm not surprised.
Lol. There's an Xbox version of VC4 but not a PC version, despite what VC did on steam . Don't underestimate Japan.
I'm definitely in on picking up the PS4 remaster when it releases. Catherine is one of my favorite games. Also the Vita complaining is an interesting thing to debate, sure the Vita is basically dead in the west, but still strong in JP. Either way, great to see Catherine get some love with some additional content!
I think that could have worked if they had someone calling Tobey out on his bullshit. They call Vincent out throughout the course of the game.
My guess is that it's a test engine to port P5 to Vita or just Studio Zero to get comfortable with the P5/Catherine:R engine and use that to work on Project:RE Fantasy.
I bought the limited edition of Catherine a few years back... I never had a chance to really get into it but i'll give it another try...
The game is already 4K ready if you saw the emulators running it in 4K.
I hope PS4 Pro version is Native 4K.
I hope PS4 Pro version is Native 4K.
Lol, it's funny as hell that when someone mentions anything about the platforms it's almost like an instinct to throw out SMTV like that matters to anything. This having a Vita port is pretty weird and random. There's nothing wrong with that or anything, but ain't no one telling the truth if they say they thought a remake of Catherine would get a Vita port in 2018 lol.
Love is not dead yet :P
Vincent is one of Troy Baker's best voice works for sure (very fond of the dub). Should be nice to see him come back to this character (and the rest of the gang) and hopefully they expand more of the in-between areas. One of the most comfiest parts about the game.
If a designer doesn't want to make a game because they got criticized for a really bigoted portrayal of trans people (and a general attitude of permissive transphobia by people around her), then I don't think much was lost.
As a matter of fact, Catherine and Persona 5 don't share engine. Catherine's engine is Gamebryo, Persona 5 uses a Atlus internal engine.
I can agree with this. Erica is a good character that the cast (and the game itself) treat horribly. Honestly, the absolute worst thing to me is how the game...
plays into the whole "transwomen are trying to trick men" narrative during the Katherine ending. Absolutely shameful.
While I really enjoyed the game, this part really soured my experience of it. I'm going to skip this port personally. Modern Atlus seriously needs to step up their game when it comes to LGBT characters.
Don't be racist. Don't be sexist. Don't be transphobic. I would love to say that this is a very, very low ceiling, but it seems like game developers REALLY struggle with these guidelines.
How so? It's been on Nintendo handhelds last generation.
Vita is a legacy platform in the west and becoming less revelant in Japan by the week.
A big game on a new hot platform like the Switch isn't that surprising.
I'm not shocked at the Switch snub here, more shocked at the Vita inclusion lol.
I warned people in the speculation thread to not expect a Switch version because Catherine ran on Gamebryo, an engine last updated in 2012, but I got dogpiled, and now everyone is working in the salt mines.
I don't actually know if they've continued with Gamebryo, but the shot they released so far looks like the same engine. I would've expected some subtle changes in the toon shaders or lighting if this was ported to a new engine. Since Gamebryo already supports PC, I suppose getting it to run on the PS4 wouldn't be so bad, assuming they have the source code. In 2014 the Korean company that bought Gamebryo was talking about XB1 and PS4 support, but nothing on their site alludes to that since then. Maybe Atlus worked with them directly to get an updated version?
Good ol' Troy Baker. They should be able to get him back for this, right? I remember they had to find a new Kanji for the later P4 spinoffs.
I doubt he'll be back. They'll probably replace him with Matt Mercer, is my guess anyway.
Yup!
daaamn 30 pages for a catherine remaster/soft remake? I knew the game had a cult following but I didn't think it was this popular! not that I'm complaining!!
True. If I close my eyes, I can pretend it's Jotaro Kujo having commitment issues and freaking out over nightmares.
No no. I mean this version of Catherine is using P5's engine since it's a remake and not a remaster. They have to utilize something to port the game over and they're obviously using the P5 engine since it's on PS4, which adds to it being on Vita.
But hey, what do I know. I just think it make P5's chances more likely to be on Vita now. I mean I always figured the remaster would be like P3 FES and it would be on PS4 only but after Catherine being on PS4/Vita, I'm now suspecting it'll also be on Vita.
As far as Vincent being a dick to Erica, the problem is that him being a dick in this respect doesn't go examined, and also that he's far from the only source of transphobia in-universe.
I tried out Catherine after loving Persona 5 but I really dislike puzzle games so I gave up after the second puzzle level. I probably would have continued if the game was more of a visual novel or story based game but these remaster additions may tempt me to give it another try.
Laura Bailey as Catherine will be much harder to replace.
Actually, most of the Critical Role cast is in this game (Matt, Laura, Travis, and Liam), that's kinda weird.
Hope we gonna get somehow Persona 5 costumes.
Wanna dress up Vincent as Joker and Erica as Makoto.
