Apparently according to his twitter: the creator is now taking a close look at kickstarter (and the crowdfund option in general) due to fan demand Smile

That’s awesome.  I figured there’d probably be a big push from the English speaking fans for this.

I know that handheld gaming units are huge in Japan and so are Visual novels and adventure games there too.

So - the low sales of 999/Virtue’s Last Reward shocked me. However, when Ghost Trick was released on iOS it had huge sales and I could see Virtue’s Last Reward doing the same as well so I hope they go multiplatform in a big way.

I’m noticing this is kind old news but I’ve been out is and I’m really bummed out about this, hopefully everything works out for the best.

I never noticed the game performed so badly in Japan.

To be honest, im not dying for an end to this story… so as long as they find a way to make a similar genre game, i’ll be happy Smile

Well, I for one would like to know where they’re going with the story (and how a certain character lost his arms for instance). They set up so much, and tried to mindrape me so often, that I’d really like to know how it ends…


On a related note, if you just want a similar genre game, you might be interested in this Kickstarter campaign. It’s not by the devs of Zero Escape, but it does claim to be similar in gameplay to Zero Escape and Phoenix Wright. Has potential, imo. Wink

Thats the thing though, im pretty sure the story of the third game is just going to be another collage of mindrape attempts, at the point where i could just fill in the blanks myself “theyr in a volcano, under the ocean, 100,000 years in the past. And the main character isnt who they thought they were, and they really had arms all along because of dimensional physics stuff.”.

Hmm yeah id play that. Definitely could use more visual novels with high interaction.

Spike Chunsoft are my favorite developers (was CING, RIP).

Their “Dangaronpa” games are VERY similar to the 999 series. I like them as much, or even better. And they REALLY sell.

So, they could make a sequel using the Dangaronpa engine to save costs, some people liked the artwork in 999 better than “Virtue’s Last Reward” anyway.

Dangaronpa sold over 390,000 copies - MOST of them in Japan.

If Virtue’s Last Reward sold poorly in Japan, it sold poorly.

However, it got great reviews and lots of awards:

I’d like to see a VLR 3, even as an inexpensive straight to PSN release. Or even as a OVA:

Will 2015 be the year of Zero Escape 3? Kotaro Uchikoshi (creator) is at the very least teasing something that might very well be it!

“It’s looking like 2015 will be the year where everything I’ve built up over the years will come together and be let out into the world in one fell swoop.”

Good news, hope he is talking about Zero Escape… That series really needs a conclusion.

Haha, I like how the developer of Persona went into this long essay on philosophical stuff.  Not surprising from the creator of that series.

Good news though.  Really hoping for a Zero Escape 3.

Hmmmm… I want to believe, but i’m keeping my feet grounded Nerd

A couple of other stuff recently that may interest some:

- Uchikoshi has been working on an anime called Punchline, due for April 2015 release - http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-11-27/noitamina-announces-punch-line-original-anime/.81501

- A group of Zero Escape fans are developing a Visual Novel called Adrift in a Cobalt Eternity. They say that 50% profit will go into supporting ZE3. Most surprisingly they’ve said they’ve got Shinji Hosoe (999/VLR composer) onboard -  https://twitter.com/CobaltEternity


edit: oops, spelling mistake corrected

that seems… odd… They seem to have no website? No confirming sources about their staff.. The twitter focuses awfully heavy on talking about musical recruiting.

Okay so I admit this is very speculative and wishful thinking, but this has been spreading around among fans: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=994175

Maybe we’ll hear good news soon…?

Everything seems to point towards it. It’s only a matter of time at this point (hopefully).
