Faiblesse Des Sens Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 How are they screwing them? You're not owed anything and it's not like this is a sequel. I think it'll come out eventually. It's Atlus after all. It could be that their business strategy has changed. We know they're not doing the "limited copies" thing anymore so maybe they only want to release/publish games they think will do well (by their new standards) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not giving up hope they're not porting this yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 "I can confirm what's said in that article. "No plans at this time" != "No plans for all time"" Taken from the official Atlus forums, this was posted by a dude who works there. http://atlus.com/forum/showpost.php?p=236932&postcount=20 Other dudes are speculating that this is due to translations and stuff going on.

TheForgetfulBrain Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 So the other day I raged a little on Atlus' official Facebook wall about the Catherine announcement. Today I get an Atlus Faithful Newsletter with, only, this, and nothing more: Strange coincidence, Atlus, STRANGE INDEED. I mean, it really is just a coincidence, but still, what the hell? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 I love how they're acting like people are misinterpreting them. "No plans at this time" means you don't have any plans to do it, ever. Obviously you could change that, and make plans in the future, but as it stands now that statement means you fully intend to leave it as Japan only. Their later comments make it seem like though they are planning to release it, just not right now, and they're like "you misinterpreted." No, fuckers, if you are planning to release it in North America, even eventually, then saying you have "no plans at this time" is a lie. Learn English.

Got that too, the Atlus forums are all over the place thanks to that. Some saying they're just trolling now, others that this gives hope, others just waiting. Some are even discussing the fact that it's the exact same font and background they used for their Valentine's Day email, so yeah, dudes be crazy now. I still have hopes, but in the meantime I'll try to learn Japanese and see if I can import it. Also, Ethan, chill dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Yeah, at first I thought it was a translation issue, but the article linked said it came from Atlus' US PR, so I assumed they were competent at English and that it wasn't due to translation.

toxicitizen Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hahaha I also got that "Do you still like us?" email, and when I couldn't find any clickable area that linked to anything I was wondering what the hell it was about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Kind of an unknown website as far as I can tell, so make of it what you will.

toxicitizen Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Well, turns out the info was good. Catherine localization confirmed, releasing over the summer http://ps3.ign.com/articles/115/1152734p1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excaliburps Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yep. Game is confirmed to be coming this Summer July 26. I actually reported on it earlier in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I'm not going to believe Amazon that quickly. I'll stick with "summer" as confirmed and nothing else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what I posted earlier in the day. http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/84357/catherine-dated-for-us-july-release-pulled-by-gamestop/ But yeah. Nothing wrong with just thinking Summer.

MetalCaveman Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Told you!... Maybe I didn't... But I did told you to chill and wait right!... No?... Ok then, maybe I just thought about it... Anyway, seems like they're keeping the covers intact, so now to decide, which one to buy? Also, I wonder if they'll leave the original difficulty or if they'll change it, apparently it was too freaking hard in some levels or something.

Battra92 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Wow, it looks like they are keeping the two covers. Ugh, decisions decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanaEquiesterer Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 This is why I love Atlus. I don't care if the game is any good, but I feel like Atlus listened to what people wanted and decided to deliver. There could have been plans to bring it to North America for weeks now, but the near unanimous unrest across the internet for keeping things mum until now feel like a contributing factor.

excel_excel Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Good stuff! No European release date confirmed of course, good thing the PS3 is region free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Good stuff! No European release date confirmed of course, good thing the PS3 is region free Indeed. You can play our copies of Catherine and I can get a disc version of Arcana Heart. I still say the 360 cover is better but if I do get it, I'll probably get the PS3 version.

TheMightyEthan Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 After much back-and-forth, I've finally come to the conclusion that I like the PS3 cover better. This is why I love Atlus. I don't care if the game is any good, but I feel like Atlus listened to what people wanted and decided to deliver. Hell hath no fury like video game nerds scorned?

rainetemplar Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) I'm so excited this game is getting localized. Hmm, which cover to get? I think I'm getting the Catherine cover. I'm kinda mad at myself for watching all kinds of gameplay videos though.. I know way too much about the story now.

SanaEquiesterer Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Bumping because a deluxe edition has been announced and can be purchased here The PS3 deluxe edition is already sold out on Amazon.ca, just a few hours after being announced, and those sons of bitches at Amazon.com won't ship to us Canucks.

Saturnine Tenshi Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 God, I am going to be so friggin' angry-face when I move to Canada and have to wait two weeks for NISA to ship special editions. The puzzle-spire on this one has left me dubious. On one hand, I like lascivious lasses. They're nice. On the other, the tower just pissed me off. On one hand, Atlus stories tend to capture you quite well. On the other hand, I like lascivious lasses. They're nice. *sulks off to switch pre-order to deluxe edition* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 yea, just pre-ordered the deluxe, PS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
