Question about the PC version and 3DS version

[Ragnawind]

What are the differences between this release and the 3DS version this Summer? Also, as an extra question, what are the differences between all versions, if possible? I heard that there was a 1996 original version and 2008 remake, a version by 5pb, etc. and that this was based on the original.

That would be quite a task to explain, but I'll try.

This is the original PC remake of Corpse Party called Corpse Party: BloodCovered. It's all original artwork and content by GrisGris. When 5pb remade the game, they used this version as a basis and expanded on it, replacing the art assets and sound with their own assets. The 3DS version will be more or less an "enhanced" version of that remake. While this remains the original PC game. The differences are numerous, the PSP version has an incomplete 5th chapter and 7 Extra Chapters. The PC version here has 3 Extra Chapters that are on the PSP PLUS the previous removed version of 'Tooth', which became a part of Book of Shadows.

This version also has the complete 5th chapter, which the 3DS version will also have. I would honestly say the 3DS version will be the definitive version, while this is a chance to look back at the classic, original work and appreciate it for what it was.

Thanks for the answers. Back when I first saw the Corpse Party Tumblr post, it didn't really have any info on the differences between versions, but reading that and comparing it to what Seraphina said, I will probably get the 3DS version and maybe get this version, if I don't get Book of Shadows on my Vita later. I never got the PSP version, since I never got the chance and forgot about it until this announcement of the new releases.

I know they need to sell it but I couldn't help but go ಠ_ಠ whenever the 'original indie art' was being played up as a positive. Not to mention less extra chapters.

It could be seen as one. Some people are looking for the original experience.

With that subjective kind of phrasing it can be turned around: 'Some people are looking for the updated experience'. See?

I guess I'll stick with the PSP version and I'll play the 3DS version later if I get the chance.

Yes, I do see. I also don't get your point then when you agree it can legitimately go either way because it's a completely subjective matter.

I guess I'm saying is, why not give everyone options?

Also, the 2008 art looks downright amateurish, not something expected on Steam outside of subpar RPG maker games.

This is the only version they were allowed to use. That's the "why not", and the remake has no PC port to speak of that XSEED could otherwise work with anyway.

I'm sorry it doesn't meet your expectations, but those are the brakes.

Fair enough, and I'm not trying to chide anyone, just verbalizing my mild disappointment. Also, it's the site itself that tries to play up the indie art as objectively better, almost sounds like it's downplaying the PSP version with barely any positives compared to the other versions.

Can we agree that a website from a company trying to sell a game NOT trying to play things up is effectively not trying to sell you something and therefore someone's not doing their job?

This is kind of like complaining that a Burger King ad is trying to play up the flavor of their flame broiled beef. Or that the sky is blue.

It's also not trying to play anything up as objectively better... you're kind of twisting a sales pitch into a statement of fact that it's better... when what they say about it in no way claims that.

Does the sky advertise itself as red instead?

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Anyway, would you happen to know why it's this version and it couldn't be another one?

[Gabby]

5pb wouldn't share it's assets, I think. Though I've heard word that the PC version simply wouldn't work with the new assets no matter what they tried. So that could be it too. XSEED simply told us they exhausted every possibility of getting them in.

Also the sky can get red during a sunset.

The PC version has less extra chapters than the PSP one even? What?

[Gabby]

Because those extra chapters were created by 5pb, not GrisGris. They're also really the extra chapters without any actual gameplay. You more or less just sit and watch for a few minutes.

The PC version has an extra chapter the PSP version lacks, and a completed Chapter 5, which the PSP version does not have. (It was made after it's release.)
