xZoneHunter Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I know it's old news, but i felt i had to make a thread about!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A third game has indeed been announced making the games a trilogy. The final installement will give light on the giant cliffhanger VLR had aswell as all the loose ends from 999. Junpei, Phi & Luna will be in the 3rd game aswell. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/120906-Third-Zero-Escape-Installment-Confirmed Now the sad part comes... Due to lack of sales of the previous games in JAPAN, the 3rd game wont be releasing any time soon. Uchikoshi (lead scenario writer and game designer) needs to find funds for before he'll release the game. He wants to release the game but he can't, he needs the help of the fans! http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/02/zero_escape_series_director_struggling_to_find_funding_for_third_title Now, we, the fans were VERY displeased with this news. So we started a facebook group called OPERATION BLUEBIRD. Even Uchikoshi fully supports this initiative. Uchikoshi's twitter: https://twitter.com/Uchikoshi_Eng Operation bluebird: https://www.facebook.com/operationbluebirdze3 ^ give it a like! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 999 & VLR belong in my list of "best games ever" and i'd really be devestated if i'm left at this cliffhanger. I'm sure many fans will agree with me. I know a facebook group isn't an effective strategy in most cases, but it's for sure the least we can do. We need to show that people will actually BUY the game, so Uchikoshi finds the funds he needs. Edited March 3, 2014 by xZoneHunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Tron Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 This game set a milestone for visual novel games here in the west. I really enjoyed 999 even though I didn't play it. i watched a playhrough of the true ending and I watched all of it. A lot of playthroughs don't keep me hooked until the last part. I did play VLR (courtesy of PS+) and loved it. If they don't make a third game to tie up those loose ends then I will cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Just give them time so they can put it on kickstarter... I was also sad when I read it, but there's always hope. There's no bear that would put us to despair by destroying the possibility of a 3rd game... And well... in Japan... yea... Japan has huge amount of Escape games (that never made it to the West) so they unfortunately aren't so hyped as we are... And I don't see Chunsoft omitting Japan... so kickstarter is the only possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Mayus Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 If this goes on kickstarter I will support it. VLR was amazing and I would love to see how the story ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemisthemp Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 They can't put it on Kickstarter since, they have no Western offices to publish the game from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRANGEgenius Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I hated this game, but the story was very interesting, reminded me of the CUBE films. I hope they get funding for a 3rd, its got a great story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xZoneHunter Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) UPDATE: http://www.siliconera.com/2014/04/10/zero-escape-director-reveals-hes-working-new-title/ Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward creator Kotaro Uchikoshi recently spoke about the fate of the series and how it might be a while until we see a third game in the series. In this week’s issue of Famitsu magazine, Uchikoshi broke the silence and revealed that he’s actually working on a new game. Here’s what Uchikoshi had to say on the subject of a possible new game. “Yes, that’s right. This time, we were able to go through with a project thanks to the help from the folks at Mages. At the moment, we are zealously developing the game. The scenario if already complete, and while this may be my own opinion, I’m very confident in this title!” YESSSSSS!

Satoshi Ookami Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Actually... that's Uchi's new work... it's 97% nothing related to the Zero Escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nenugalimas Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 i hope this game gets released soon, and hopefully it will be available in EU on launch... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xZoneHunter Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Actually... that's Uchi's new work... it's 97% nothing related to the Zero Escape. Well yeah you're right... But then again i had to post it somewhere. Besides for now, i'm just glad Uchikoshi is working on something. And hopefully as nenugalimas said, it will come to the west. If we lack games in one genre it's really visual novels.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Well.. the whole problem is that budget isn't high enough and thanks to Kickstarter's policy, Uchi cannot put it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful84 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 . Man, this sucks to hear! Especially since I'm half way through Virtue's Last Reward at the moment. What an amazing game! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
