I need to give it a second chance. Its an amazingly beautiful and written game but by god is it smartly written and proud of it
Huh ... that's weird. They already talked about the sequel ...

While it's entirely possible the team were being coy for the sake of being coy, that they were tossing around ideas for a sequel circa launch doesn't necessarily mean they didn't decide on a different project for their next release.
Would've liked more detail on the controller mapping. Having to double click R2 like a mouse would be pretty lame. Hopefully you can just use the joystick to get around.
Same. I hadn't read that it was getting fully voiced until this thread. Even more stoked to finally play it now.
I swear if this suffers from the usual PC to Console port of "tiny text" syndrome, I'm gonna punch a teddy bear.
STOP DOING IT DEVELOPERS. AINT NO ONE WANNA SIT 2 FEET AWAY FROM ANY TV IN THE LIVING ROOM.

Yeah, you're right. They even mentioned "future projects" so maybe they're already working on different things, but it would've been better if they clarified that cause I really liked those ideas :(
Super excited for this, and had no idea they were voicing it or adding new content for the port. I've been wanting to play this for years.
I read the quote in the pushsquare article more as them saying that they simply do not want to talk more in depth about the project at the moment rather than a denial that there is one in the works.
Thank you for the Bioshock flashbacks... I'm really happy they put thought into a text heavy game in a console.
That's the first thing I thought of when reading that "fully voiced" comment. I hope the ant book club isn't back in session.
I don't care much about the full voice acting, but the new content sounds great. Is it going to be patched into the PC version, or be PS exclusive? Might need a replay...
Never got around to it, but got it on sale for the big EGS sale at the end of last year. When the update comes out, I look forward to finally checking it out.
I took it as them realizing that if they kept talking about very early stage ideas and ambitions then they might build expectations that these projects were certainties rather than possibilities.
They're a very ambitious team, and there's a lot they want to do, but I think they're going to be exploring different options a bit before they fully commit to telling the press that they're definitely making a Disco Elysium sequel with a pregnant playable character. If they tell players about a path they're headed down now that doesn't work out over the course of development, then they get stuck with the unfortunate choice of either cutting something people were expecting or keeping something that distorts the rest of the game.
Oh you can't read that from 6 foot away. Too bad. What a shame. Get super duper High text density PC.
No release day yet. Still just listed as March on the offical website.
I had no idea this was coming out in a few weeks and am ecstatic. Tip of the hat to new content!
So basically confirmed that Sony payed for timed exclusivity on this, if they didnt help with porting or whatever. Unfortunate. Really want to play on the Switch
The one from Iam8bit? That's the only one I've seen. I'd love to get my hands on the artbook, but not for $250 lmao.
They said a regular physical would be later. :/ I'm just going to wait, which sucks because I really want to play the game.
So, er... How does that work?
I mean, are they talking about how the PlayStation 4 game would run on PlayStation 5 (i.e. backward compatibility with some perks), or is there an actual, separate PlayStation 5 version of the game planned? And if so, is there an upgrade path?
