[CielTynave]

YO THAT LOOKED FUCKING RAD

 

[Chasing]

Oh yeah this definitely looks like Danganronpa

 

[ohlawd]

nah never trust anyone involved in a Danganronpa game

 

[RochHoch]

Open world Danganonpa?

Sold.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Ah it's new trailer, Spring 2023

 

[Wayoshi]

DR4 basically, I'm in.

 

[Lightjolly]

Danganronpa + Persona looks amazing

 

[BabyDontHurtMe]

That looks dope. I'm in

 

[Byakura]

Looks interesting, I'm in

 

[Kolibri]

Super excited for this

 

[Future Gazer]

Love the setting. Please be good.

 

[Dust]

I kinda hate that floating ghost thing. Looks like Yokai Watch rejected design.

 

[Soriku]

This looks awesome. I like how Kodaka is now leaning into detective games like Uchikoshi lol. But this looks bigger budget than Somnium or at least the art direction is better. The realm you jump in to to try to solve the mystery does give me Somnium vibes.

The expert detectives or whatever are basically just the other Danganronpa characters, and the boss bottle at the end is a different take on the courtroom trials.

Looking forward to it.

 

[TheBuddy]

Let's hope this is a single story and not something with a huge amount of loose ends they "resolve" in an awful animation. Haven't touched DR3 because of that.

 

[Helix]

this looks so fucking good.

 

[Gavalanche]

I am playing immediately.

 

[Akiba756]

Switch Only?

 

[Symphony]

Kodaka's last few Danganronpa works make me cautious (especially UDG and the DR3 anime), but overall that trailer looked extremely interesting.

 

[Astro Cat]

This was my favorite thing shown during the direct. I'm a recent Danganronpa super fan so this looks amazing.

 

[RedLangley]

Game of the show for me, in for anything directed by Kodaka.

This basically looks like a spiritual succesor to Danganronpa so I'm pretty excited.

Also, don't know what kind of budget this has but Komatsuzaki's designs looks great like that.

 

[Waxwing]

In for day 1. Automatically in top 3 most anticipated games. I do prefer the closed cast setting of danganronpa, but Kodaka seems to have a pretty strong grasp of mystery and twist structure (even though I did not care for the end of DR3).

 

[BlueStarEXSF]

Considering I love the Danrangonpa games, I'm obviously gonna be keeping an eye on this one. It seems very interesting.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I am playing immediately.

Don't know yet. Waiting on 3 press releases for like 3 titles. Will update when they're out.

 

[AndyVirus]

Switch Only?

Click to shrink...

Timed exclusive.

 

[t26]

Sounds like it will come to other system later on?

 

[SiamShade]

Looks real good.

 

[Tab]

Looks cool. Detective game feels like an obvious shift after Danganronpa.

 

[Blindy]

Looks great, hope the story and mystery/plot twists are going to be up to snuff.

 

[Mediking]

It actually looks really good

 

[Lastbroadcast]

This looks sick - exactly the type of game I love

 

[NSESN]

Switch Only?

Click to shrink...

iirc timed they said in the direct

 

[Jawmuncher]

Looks like this is definitely switch only atm. The tweets aren't bringing up any other platforms.

[The Lord of Cereal]

That looked pretty damn good, quite excited

 

[cw_sasuke]

This was one the Direct highlights for sure.

 

[Mandos]

I'm interested

 

[wrowa]

Don't know yet. Waiting on 3 press releases for like 3 titles. Will update when they're out.

They said in the Direct it'll release first on Switch and the Japanese website only lists Switch as a platform.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

iirc timed they said in the direct

Curious what else it will come to

I'm guessing Steam at least

 

[CeVee]

It was a Surprising highlight for me. Never knew about it before now and tbh, it kinda 'woke me up' foe the rest of the Direct. It seems really fun!
