CG?

[Rei]

Okay so I was wondering after seeing a few Let's Plays on YouTube and I noticed a complete lack of CG in the game

Is this because of localization or censoring or is there just something wrong with the game?

[Zirk]

If I remember well, it's something like that :
There are 2 companies who make Corpse Party games, one included CGs in their game, the other didn't. But the one who import Corpse Party on Steam was the one that didn't include CGs in their game, so no CG for the Steam version.

Not exactly.

This version of the game is the first remake of the original early 90s game. "Corpse Party: Blood Covered": this version never had CGs, it was made long before those were put together.

The PSP remake is a remake of this version of the game. "Corpse Party: Blood Covered - Repeated Fear". Both versions were localized by XSEED Games, however the developer of the remake, 5pb, made the CGs and refused to allow those assets to be used with the original version of the game.

Hence why this version lacks them. They weren't taken out, they were never there to begin with.

This is an older version that was originially only in Japan I believe.

However the US would be granted a great suprise as Blood Covered Repeated Fear came along on the PSP and then we proceeded to Book of Shadows a Year later and then Blood Drive would come out in 2013 only for it to take almost 3 years to get a pretty bad US port to the PSP Vita

This games negative reviews to those wondering is due heavily to the fact that on the 30th of this month the 3DDS version of Corpse Party Blood Covered which essentially has everything and basically makes the PSP version and this version irrelevant as ♥♥♥♥ is coming soon.

Making this game unless your a huge fan of the series a waste of money to start with even though there is a few scenes in this game that are not in Repeated Fear.

More than a few scenes. Repeated Fear has an incomplete Chapter 5. You're confusing what this is. The PC version is what the PSP / 3DS is a remake of. (Rather than an "older version".) What this offers is the original Indie experience before 5PB remade the game, offered for the first time on modern PC OSes.

It's been explained thoroughly that this is the best we can get on PC. 5PB controls the remake assets and they weren't willing to share them for the PC version. That and due to the original Blood Covered's coding, it may have well been impossible to put them in at all.

I know this however I was explaining the reason why and more there was no CG in this this is indeed the older 2008 release version in Japan that never made it to the states.

I also explained the negative reviews and more. (Also considering the 3DDS version intends on adding what the PSP version of Repeated fear didn't have along with it's own content it's safe to assume that yes the 3DDS version is the ideal go to.)

Nobody even mentioned bringing the other versions to PC infact if you want to do that well there's only one way and it's Illegal so don't.

What negative reviews, exactly? There's only 6 negative user reviews and only one of them even remotely discusses this.

The original Corpse Party was developed by KENIX SOFT using the RPG Tsukūru Dante98 program for the NEC PC-9801 home system, and was released in Japan on the 22nd of April of the 1996. This game is titled ONLY "Corpse Party" not Corpse Party PC, etc. THIS game was localized by XSEED games and was released in March of 2008. This game is nothing but a port from the mobile version that was released under the titles of IOS and PSP Vita release. This game is, IN FACT, a RE-MAKE of the original game Corpse-Party, or the very first installment. The YouTube walkthroughs you have watched were most likely of "Repeated Fear" version of this game or otherwise known as the IOS version or the PS Vita release which have enhanced graphics, voice acting, full charcter portraits, and additional CG images. The game we are currently discussing now was REMADE into the IOS and PS Vita release. THIS is the PC release that came BEFORE the game you were speaking of.

The game you were most likely watching IS the IOS and PS Vita release that was published by 5pb. and was released in Japan on August 12, 2010 and translated by XSEED Games. Several changes were made from the PC version, such as enhanced background graphics, inclusion of CG event artwork, and professional voice actors.

I know this discussion is a bit of a dinosaur, but I really hope this helps you down the road if you consider to purchase the IOS or PS Vita release. Really hope this helped!
