Dead Patient: New chapters

[Dolpi]

I have not played the game yet so please dont spoil the story to me. But now to my main question. Has there been any news about the other chapters for the game? We were told that more would be added after all. But even after all this time, there have been no updates on that whatsoever. So I'm curious if there has been anything at all. Especially since I am a huge CP fan and would love more content than a single chapter

I think people have been spoiled by the Telltale cycle and expect updates to these kind of games a little too fast.

This game is made by a group of indie programmers who work for multiple other companies and basically make this on their time off. The original, first game in the first series wasn't even fully complete until after this game first came out. (We're talking decades.)

There is occasional word from the studio via twitter but it's mostly just reassurance that the game is still being worked on. NEUES here is a remake of the first chapter that was extremely buggy before and they built a whole new engine for it. The real timeline waiting for more is actually very short when everything is laid out.

I was just wondering since it came out in October last year and there weren't really any news Ive seen about the topic. But well, just knowing that it's at least being worked on, does answer the question for me. Didnt know the game was that buggy the first time though. And that they built a new engine for it either. Sounds like a lot of work. Them taking a while does make a lot of sense then. Guess all we can do is wait and see. Thanks for the quick reply. It explained a lot

The game is 7 years old, it released in Japan back in 2013 and not even the Japanese release has a chapter 2, so this so called "Telltale Cycle" has no weight to this topic.

The Corpse Party 2 Japan twitter account that is available on their website hasnt been updated since 2018, and even then surfing through their Twitter there is no mention about any Chapter 2 release.

but to reply to you, There is no news about a 2nd chapter, the only thing that is able to be dug up is an old Drama CD Vol 2 from 2017 https://www.animate.shop/products/30029878 but this isnt a "Chapter 2" to the game its just an audio file that was suppose to lead up to Chapter 2's release. I could only find 1 clip of it on youtube aswell, so I assume it was very obscure and released under the radar before being taken off stores https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs3QFcjh03A&ab_channel=RikosLover

and Gabby, your statement "The original, first game in the first series wasn't even fully complete until after this game first came out. (We're talking decades.)" I have no idea where you are getting that from and would like source, because if you are talking about Book of Shadows, that was only released 2 years prior to Corpse Party 2 in Japan so I can see why you would say that. but the 1996 version was complete long before they decided to retell the story with Book of Shadows.

7 years ago would be the original release. They took that down and built an entirely new engine because it was too buggy.

The Twitter Account you’re referencing even shows the revamp’s release. So you looked for updates yet apparently missed the major flaw in your own argument?

You skip facts dude.

I’m talking about the original Corpse Party. Chapter 5 wasn’t even completed until the Steam PC Port, and a definitive version was not put together until the 3DS version.

You’re really reaching too hard here dude.

id like you to post your sources please, I find it hard to believe they decided to release Book of Shadows and Blood Drive even though you claim the 1996 game wasnt complete until 2016

Dude.

The 1996 game was the NEC PC-9801 version of the game. It takes 1-2 hours to beat, has a grand total of 6 endings (1 good, 5 bad), and was built in RPG Maker and has actual combat. From there, Gris Gris took about a decade to release the version most players know today, and only one chapter at a time after that 2006 release date.

You finding this hard to believe means you have no idea about this game's history, how it was made, or anything about it's releases. You're welcome to find your own sources, we have multiple threads in this forum and others where Jakkal and I outline the series history in detail. You're acting like an expert but your initial challenge shows you have no idea what game you're talking about to begin with.

You find me proof of your outlandish claim that this game was released complete the first time it came out.

Also Book of Shadows and Blood Drive were not made by the original developers. Some fans even argue they're not actually canonical because another developer took over the creation of those games. After Blood Covered ... Repeated Fear came out in 2010 (not 1996), 5pb pushed through the productions of Book of Shadows and Blood Drive. Leading up to the PSP Port of Blood Covered (Repeated Fear), the Windows game (which first launched in 2006) was released episodically over the next few years chapter by chapter. We didn't see that version in the US until years after the PSP port too (in 2016).

If you've played both the PSP version and the PC 2016 release, you don't need citations, you know Chapter 5 in the PSP version is missing several scenes. They weren't finished until after that port came out. <_<

i see no sources

[Gabby]

Neither do I.

But since you really want to look like you're silly, while not understanding that the burden of proof is on the person challenging the facts...

CORPSE-PARTY (コープスパーティー Kōpusu Pātī?) is the original survival horror adventure game in the Corpse Party series created by KENIX SOFT. It was made using the original version of RPG Maker, the "RPG Tsukūru Dante98" program for the NEC PC-9801 home system, and it was released in Japan on April 22, 1996. It is usually known under the abbreviation Dante 98 (Dante98版 Dante98 Han?) in Japan and occasionally as CP98 overseas.

The original version is essentially lost to time, but you can play a remake of it here, even runs on RPGMaker: http://www.memoriesoffear.com/games_corpsepartyrebuilt/index.html

The original Corpse Party 2, which was made and abandoned in 1996:

https://corpseparty.fandom.com/wiki/Corpse_Party_2:_Satsuki%27s_Heart

Corpse Party 2: Satsuki's Heart (コープスパーティー2 さつきの心臓 Kōpusu Pātī Tsū Satsuki no Shinzō?) is an abandoned project created by KENIX SOFT. It was made using the RPG Tsukūru (Maker) Dante 98 program for the NEC PC-9801 home system, and it was slated to be released in Japan on 1996.

It was supposed to be the planned sequel to CORPSE-PARTY and the storyline was to pick off after the events of Ending Rank: A. However, it was abandoned around the time ASCII Media Works released RPG Tsukūru Dante 98 II in July 1996.

The version of Corpse Party you claim was made in 1996, please note the release period from 2008-2011, meaning it was released in parts episodically:

https://corpseparty.fandom.com/wiki/Corpse_Party_(PC)

Corpse Party, released in Japan as Corpse Party: BloodCovered (コープスパーティー BloodCovered (ブラッドカバー) Kōpusu Pātī BuraddoKabā?), is a part of the Corpse Party survival horror adventure game series created by Team GrisGris for the PC. It was released in Japan from March 2008 to July 2011. It was localized by XSEED Games under the title Corpse Party and distributed by GOG, Steam, and The Humble Store. It is known under the abbreviation BC in Japan. This game has inspired a manga, drama CDs, and original soundtracks.

The version of the game you actually think this was, released in 2011 with enhanced assets on the PSP:

https://corpseparty.fandom.com/wiki/Corpse_Party_(PSP,_iOS)

Corpse Party, released in Japan as Corpse party BloodCovered: ...Repeated Fear (コープスパーティー ブラッドカバー リピーティッドフィアー Kōpusu pātī BuraddoKabā Ripītiddo Fiā?), is the remake of Corpse Party survival horror adventure game series created by Team GrisGris for the PlayStation Portable and iOS. The game was published by 5pb. and was released in Japan on August 12, 2010. It was localized by XSEED Games and released on November 22, 2011 in North America and on December 14, 2011 in Europe. It is known under the abbreviation BR in Japan and as CP overseas. This game has inspired light novels, fan book, web radios, and an amusement attraction.

I'm assuming you didn't actually play Book of Shadows, because if you did, you'd know it was largely side stories based on early bad endings of Blood Covered, and the only canonical chapter in it is the prelude to Blood Drive:

https://corpseparty.fandom.com/wiki/Corpse_Party:_Book_of_Shadows

Which means I'm also assuming you didn't play Blood Drive, as it too is built off a bad ending that was developed before the final version of Chapter 5:

https://corpseparty.fandom.com/wiki/Corpse_Party:_Blood_Drive

The final, definitive version of the game, released in 2016, 2 decades after the 1996 original RPG Maker game:

https://corpseparty.fandom.com/wiki/Corpse_Party_(3DS)

It is a remake of the original CORPSE-PARTY for the NEC PC-9801 and Corpse Party for PC, and an enhanced port of the PSP and iOS version of Corpse Party. The game features updated character sprites and CG artworks, remixed soundtracks, an extended scene (from the PC version), new Wrong Ends, and new Extra Chapters.

Facts are hard?

You said it was impossible that the original game could take 20 years to make, and that you saw this as impossible with sequels coming out during this time.

I just laid out the 20 years it took them and all the releases leading up to the 3DS version, which is the only version to contain all the definitive content. Released after both sequels, which you insisted couldn't have happened. I've also explained how said sequels are built off of older produced content so they are perfectly capable of having happened before the final cut.

You wanted evidence, I gave a mountain of it. It's up to you to accept them or not, but if you're going to insist otherwise, it's now on you to prove it.
