Ren of Heavens Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Never heard of it before, but it got 40/40 in the latest Famitsu: The story, set in Tokyo's Shibuya, follows a young man, a virus researcher, a detective, a freelance writer and a cat mascot character as they brought together by strange events of global proportions. The visual novel uses photographs to tell the story. Famitsu seemed most impressed with the game's story, the story's ending and the title's sound design.

D_prOdigy Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Mmm. Not really a game, but then again, they did also give Nintendogs 40/40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 For some reason I had automatically mentally marked this game as being for DS, dunno where I got that idea from. I know nothing about it really apart from the funny sounding title- 428 The World Doesn't Change Even So. I'm not sure what the chances are of this making it out of Japan, but its published by Sega (I think?), who pick up these more curious games from time to time and bring them to the Western market - such as Shiren the Wanderer on DS.

Shino Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 This news is just insane, it's a live action novel and they gave it a 40. I'm so damn curious of what they say about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 So it IS a DS game? According to Kotaku and GoNintendo its a Wii game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_prOdigy Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 According to Kotaku and GoNintendo its a Wii game. Oh yeah, now I think about it, it is on Wii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shino Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Doesn't that make it a film? From what I understand, it is basically an interactive movie. Very much like many that were on Mega CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Yeh it's definitely a Wii game. I think it's in a similar vein to things like Another Code and Hotel Dusk. Not entirely sure but that's what it seems to be like from what I have gathered thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 WHat do you do in it? 40/40?!?! Haven't only a handful of games got this? According to 1up.com only 9 games in the magazines 22 year history. In this same issue though they gave Fallout 3 a 38/40 which is the highest for a western RPG.

Guest Maase Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Don't forget the Japanese Magazines do usually give good scores on franchises that give a lot of money. But 40/40 is actually very hard to get on Famitsu, so i guess this game must be good. I was always curious about it, but i know it won't come here, so i don't care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 wii is the first console to have two games with a score of 40/40 in Famitsu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 ^ well... if you count the Ocarina of Time bonus disc with Wind Waker, it'd be the second. But I don't think we do count that? That would require two ratings. Or.... argh I don't know. Who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Interesting to see that I'm not the only one who's instincts told them this was for DS - I wonder where we got misinformed at...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ninja0 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 They gave a 40 to something that's not a game? How's the gameplay on this thing? Refined? Bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Don't forget the Japanese Magazines do usually give good scores on franchises that give a lot of money. This is not such a case, Chunsoft novel games don't usually get lots of money. They gave a 40 to something that's not a game?How's the gameplay on this thing? Refined? Bad? Pratically non-existant I suppose, this probably plays like an ero-game or something like that. Which is OK, I mean totally different games, must be judged in a totally different manner.

killer kirby Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Wow, this is surprising. And for it to be a VN and score a 40/40, then it has to have a bloody good story behind it. Now I am really interested in this VN ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
