5PB throwing another Corpse Party in Japan
We've just received our first Corpse Party game in the west thanks to XSEED. Meanwhile, in Japan, the unfathomably icky adventure game series is getting a third PSP installment, published by 5PB. Dengeki PlayStation magazine reports (via Siliconera) that Corpse Party 2U will be released on PSP in Japan sometime next year. That's good news for those of us who have experienced the delightfully dismal Corpse Party -- another game is the first step toward another localized game. On the other hand, it's bad news for some fictional Japanese teenagers.
Portabliss: Corpse Party (PSP)
Did you know that you can download handheld games now? That's amazingly convenient! The only inconvenient part of it is finding the right games to buy -- and that's where we come in, with our Portabliss column. In each installment, we'll tell you about a downloadable game on the iPhone, iPad, Android device, DSi, 3DS, PSP, etc. Today: Corpse Party. Technically, Corpse Party is a full-sized PSP game that just happens to be PSN-only, but it is a downloadable portable game, so I'm using this column as a convenient venue to talk about it. Because it is really, really cool. It may look cutesy and SNES-like, but the cognitive dissonance between that presentation and what is happening only serves to amplify the profound wrongness of every single moment of this game.
Corpse Party starts boogeyin' this November
On today of all days, the haunt of all haunts, Corpse Party publisher XSEED chose to announce a November launch for its upcoming download-only PSP horror title. And while XSEED is "sorry to have missed Halloween," this carton of rotten eggs we plan on throwing in the company's general direction just isn't hearing it, frankly. At very least, the publisher has a decent explanation for the missed opportunity. "We wanted to make certain everything was perfect," a statement from XSEED localization specialist Tom Lipschultz on the US PlayStation Blog reads. He unfortunately didn't nail down a solid date for the game's launch, but did drop a brand new trailer, as seen above.
