Glad we are getting both and we have a release date. In on day one unless something happens. They have separate pages on Steam for Elite and Dash so I am guessing they will be sold for $30 each on there at launch.
HmmThey are all part of the Science Adventure series:
Science Adventure - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
I am intrigued. Will check it out once it comes out for sure.
Functionally confirmed: DaSH's Steam page has been given an updated release date of October 14th. I'd expect Elite's Steam page to be updated shortly, since release date changes has to be approved by Valve.
Steins;Gate is part of a connected series called Science Adventure, which are all set in the same world. Robotics;Notes Elite is a story that happens post true end of Steins;Gate with a different cast of characters, though there are some returning elements. Robotics;Notes DaSH is a sequel to Robotics;Notes Elite which involves some Steins;Gate characters more heavily.
The original release order of the main games (and remakes) in the series goes:
Chaos;Head (NoAH)
Steins;Gate (Elite)
Robotics;Notes (Elite)
Chaos;Child
Steins;Gate 0
Robotics;Notes DaSH
Of these, only Chaos;Head is not officially available in English, though there is a fan translation for the original PC version of it. A fan translation group is currently working on its remake, Chaos;Head NoAH, though there's no estimate on when that will be available.
Thanks for the info.
I am going to see if I can get a japanese copy of Chaos Head and read through it before this comes out then.
It's a visual novel with no gameplay other than making choices, IIRC.
One character from S;G returns, two others get mentions.
Fun fact, it also takes place 9 years after S;G, and is set in the "Steins;Gate" (1.048596%) world line.
The VN is meant to be a lot better than the anime. Haven't played or watched either though as I'm trying to stay in the dark.
I didn't finish it.....i really like what i played but then i went to vacation and when i got home, i wasn't anymore in the mood. But it was really good !
Not as praised, but then again, Steins;Gate is regarded as one of the best in the genre.
It's more slice of life. It has a IT JUST GOT REAL moment like S;G, but the stakes are nowhere near as high.
The cast are fun, though. The show's been localized, so you can check that out too, but by all accounts, the VN is way better.
Also, the PS3 cover is way better.
Also also, since they show no gameplay:
The 3d models are super impressive. I wish they wouldn't shy away from it.
Fans aren't idiots, they know it's a VN.
You don't need to play Robotics;Notes before Chaos;Child. Also Chaos;Head isn't needed; even though some elements of that game are present in the game, they are quickly summarized at the beginning, and you would just lose some minor references. Instead,, DaSH is a sequel and you should not play it before Robotics;Notes.
Ok thanks! I figured as much. I will end up playing Chaos;Head though, despite hearing it's... not great. I already have the Vita version sitting on my shelf!
I heard that Chaos;Head wasn't great but I honestly really enjoyed it. Probably the weakest entry available in English atm but it was still a fantastic VN with an overwhelmingly oppressive atmosphere. Highly recommended.
I feel like it gets a lot of flak due to the absolutely awful anime adaptation.
Thanks for the recommendation! The truth is I bought the Dual Pack that comes with the dating sim spinoff, so that represents a lot of relatively slow Japanese reading. I didn't much care for the Steins;Gate dating sim spinoff either. So I've been hesitating a bit :p but I'm excited to check it out.
Didn't see it when I was last in the OT claims thread, and was wondering this too.
I don't like the transition from the fully hand-drawn characters and backgrounds to the polygonal character models on the 2D backdrops. The art on the characters was so wonderful, this just looks like generic anime. I'm very early.
Press the L2/LZ button, and go into the IRUO option on the menu, and it will allow you to pan around and read the descriptions for the different named items and people on a screen.

Is there a read order to the whole science adventure series or does it not matter outside of obviously connected games?
Release order. From what I've read in reviews, RN Elite you should ideally read SG before, for Dash you should read SG, 0 and Chaos Child before.
