As if Project Diva wasn't enough (I know they aren't relaited, but c'mon)!

Looks very interesting..

Too bad the OVA sucked.

Hype alone can't sel me on it. Specially after the OVA really wasn't anything special. Let's see that gameplay first.

Can someone explain to me what Black Rock Shooter is? From the brief information I got it seems like Touhou the FPS.

Setsuna F. Seiei · **Reply #8 on:** July 20, 2011, 10:01:02 PM

Holy [tornado fang] I forgot I had a thread here for this.

Well, Basically, it originally started off as just in illustration by the artist Huke on pixiv.

http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?id=9794&p=1

Ryo, the head of the doujin group super cell that specialized in making music videos using the Volcaloid software, loved the character and asked Huke to get involved in a project to make the music video for it. Which was posted on nico nico.

That music video turned into a huge success with a cult following, and eventually lead to much bigger things, like the OVA.

The game itself is basically it's own thing not related to the original BRS from the music video or the OVA. Gameplay wise, it's an RPG.

I don't know what to think of this game. Looks like it could be good fun, but the areas look empty.

A full length TV series looking like that would be godly. The closest animation i've seen to this was Kara no Kyoukai (ironically).

Setsuna F. Seiei · **Reply #10 on:** July 20, 2011, 10:35:38 PM

The game is actually a pretty huge project, and set to be a series. The games not even out till next month, and they're already working on the 2nd game since a few months ago.

I'm mainly getting it for story reasons. the main scnario writer is Kazushige Nojima, I can't say no to after he did the story for Crisis Core.

Some of his other works were

Quote

Bahamut Lagoon (1996; as Director)
Final Fantasy VII (1997; as Scenario Writer) (w/ Yoshinori Kitase)
Final Fantasy VIII (1999; as Scenario Writer)
Final Fantasy X (2001; as Scenario Writer)
Kingdom Hearts (2002; as Scenario Writer) (w/ Daisuke Watanabe and Jun Akiyama)
Final Fantasy X-2 (2003; as Scenario Writer) (w/ Daisuke Watanabe)

Final Fantasy XIII (2009; as Scenario Concept)
Kingdom Hearts II (2005; as Scenario Writer)
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (2004; as Scenario Supervisor)
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children (2005; as Scenario Writer)
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (2007; as Scenario Writer)
Final Fantasy Versus XIII (TBA; as Scenario Writer)

The game itself is coming in 3 versions.

Normal which comes with a WRS charm

The digital DL version where some of the profits go to charity

Black Rock Shooter the Game - White Edition

White Premium BOX bonuses:

-WRS Figma
-Original Illustrated Deluxe Box by huke
-Black Rock Shooter THE GAME Regular Ver.
-Black Rock Shooter Art Works book
-Limited Soundtrack

I'm glad I pre-ordered the White Edition ASAP because it sold the [tornado fang] out instantly in almost all shops.

Frozen Potato · **Reply #11 on:** July 20, 2011, 11:35:18 PM

Wow, I'd really hoped the story of this game would be decent.
If it did NISA should really translate this game since they had a thing with Imageepoch.

Setsuna F. Seiei · **Reply #12 on:** July 20, 2011, 11:43:32 PM

That's the biggest misunderstanding about the game at the moment.

Westerners think the game is coming out here, but it's not. The president said that they have a partner ship with NISA to bring over their titles to the west, but no one ever officially said BRS would come over. That was back in November.

A few months ago there was another article that basically said it wasn't being brought over along with ImageEpoch's other PSP titles because the PSP is basically dead over here, where as in Japan it's still alive and well to where the major devs are still working on PSP game for the next few years even with Vita out. Like how Japan did with PS3 years after PS3 was out.

The 2nd BRS game was already confirmed in development with an ETA of summer 2012.

Frozen Potato · **Reply #13 on:** July 20, 2011, 11:47:45 PM

Wow, that just sucks considering how awesome it looks.

I'd just hope there's a chance they'd translate it even if there's only little hope.

Setsuna F. Seiei · **Reply #14 on:** July 20, 2011, 11:50:58 PM

The MOST you can hope for is probably digital download only since that would transfer to Vita.

Well,we could only hope this is true....

Krystal · **Reply #16 on:** July 21, 2011, 05:59:00 AM

Setsuna it's supercell not super cell.

Anyway, I remember when this was first announced. It was a bit after I whinged about how amazingly shitty the OVA was, then explained that no I do not like BRS because she is an empty character with nothing to her than a bunch of 'cool' things to make fans squeal. And that that kind of character would only work in a game.

Somehow I think it's gonna be a pretty little thing with sucky gameplay.

Rin · **Reply #17 on:** July 21, 2011, 06:08:19 AM

I don't [tornado fang]ing like Black Rock Shooter outside of her design (and Black Golden Saw).
Buuuut... I am waiting for this game since the moment I heard about it.
Dunno why, even though we didn't even knew what the gameplay will be.

Krystal: Since they are making a sequel already, then I guess... it's actually good?
I shall report with my thoughts once I OBTAIN this game upon its RELEASE.

Krystal · **Reply #18 on:** July 21, 2011, 07:06:12 AM

What's to stop people from making a sequel to a bad game? There are thousands of mindless I LOVE BRS EVEN THOUGH I DON'T KNOW WHO SHE IS people out there who preordered the game just for the figure and thousands more who will buy the game just because it looks good, or just because BRS is in there, or just because it sounds cool.

I want proof that the game is worth playing. Even if the story isn't anything amazing or whatever~ I mean, let's face it, BRS, from design alone is a tiny little mary sue.

Setsuna F. Seiei · **Reply #19 on:** July 21, 2011, 11:23:11 AM

Official site update for this week is they unlocked the Battle section. 1st video up is the attack and Evasion.

The video from last week and BGM kinda gave me flashbacks to Rockman X Command Mission, and the music in this weeks does as well. Hope we get a full OST and not just the limited from the White premium box.

Setsuna F. Seiei · **Reply #20 on:** July 26, 2011, 06:21:59 AM

From this weekends Wonder Festival 2011 aka the giant ass model and toy event

Figma BRS The game version. aka loli KOS-MOS

Although i couldn't care less about Black Rock Shooter as a series, i would buy those in a heartbeat.

Krystal · **Reply #22 on:** July 26, 2011, 07:38:25 AM

^ And this is why BRS is such a money-maker.

Rin · **Reply #23 on:** August 25, 2011, 12:09:54 AM

I'm obtaining this game now.
Gonna soon posts with results and my early thoughts on this "money maker the game".
