Zero Time Dilemma (Zero Escape 3) featured in Famitsu

First, the zero design is fucking awesome. Great idea too. I hope they are more involved in the story this time. The 3D models look waaaayyy better too. One thing that surprised me is a camera angle in the second famitsu image with Carlos and possibly Diana. It was on an angle over Diana's shoulder, so I guess the games are no longer from a total first person perspective, this is probably what they meant by full animated cutscenes. Also the other image looks like it's from an escape room, it's to blurry to tell but the ui is VLR. God I am so hyped for the full reveal next week, the trailer is going to kill me.
P.s. I wonder if the dog is a zero the third situation or it's just an OG dog. I hope for the latter personally.

So, random thought;

615

248

379

It seems to me as if the order of the characters on this promo are the way these participants will be "grouped". If so this would explain why the firstly mentioned group is shown in all of the screenshots. This could also explain (VLR spoilers)
the discrepancy of Diana's recording, as she wouldn't necessarily be privy to the events of what is happening with the other groups.

Incidentally, if you read all the character numbers in order including Zero, you get a number of 6 billion.

Serious question: Which of Troy Baker or Nolan North are the Sugita of English voice acting?

Sugita and Mercer are the closest matches when you consider their voices, how often Mercer gets Sugita's roles, and how similar they are in real life, but I expect Mercer to take over for Sigma. There's almost no way North is going to be in the game.

I could see Carlos being played by someone like Grant George or Ray Chase, though.

I can't wait to learn more about our creepy little pig friend. He intrigues me.

By the way, I wonder if the trailer will be in English or Japanese. I'm dying to hear some English voice acting!

Seeing as how DC Douglas already the game on his resume, I'm sure the entire English track should be done or near done by now. If so, it'll be an English trailer.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT LOOKS SO GOOD


Throwing out a random prediction about Q
Young Left clone.

That's if I remember VLR correctly. Need to replay it.
 
Incredible! :D I'm so excited for this.

So. Much. Awesome.

I'm still thinking Mila is connected to Lotus in some way. I need for Q to matter in this game, cause Quark brought absolutely nothing to the table in VLR.
 
Guys, I seriously can't get over how perfect literally everything is. They haven't done a single thing wrong so far. I really think this is going to top 999.

The trailer is going to end me.

Are you feeling it? We look at the GOAT.

it will be fuckin teddie under the pig mask

Got me

Oh boy

Are there any extreme scenes?

“The ‘Ultimate Choice’ is a thing where one’s life is put at risk. I want the player to be well-worried. Since we don’t want to soften up the presentation for the sake of age regulations, we’re putting out the presentation how I want it without changes. So the possibility that this is the first Z-rated game for 3DS is high. (Laughs.)”

Cleavage chick is the best character.

Truth. I like Phi too, she looks awesome. And Young Beautiful Akane and Young Jumpy.
Edit: From the interview, if you're playing ZE for the first time, why the holy hell would you play the third in a trilogy of games?!?

Is this still only a digital release in Europe? Amazon UK has a listing for this game, but I haven't heard anything.

Sounds like it's going to treat itself as a soft reboot in Japan (probably to try for more sales), which would mean that they'll give the context for everything that resurfaces from previous games. They're actively encouraging new players.

It's a bummer that Nishimura was dropped solely to give the series a different feel, though.

■ Interview
Uchikoshi interview with the director posted.

- Was originally scheduled to be at the same time develop a few of his after one of his, but there in the development of two from that PSVita and 3DS was announced, 3 became a look at the reaction
Especially evaluation is high abroad, to be able to develop the third installment from that voice of sequel wish there were many
- The title was neat to
· Correctness and on what you want to raise something to the players
- During the game there is the ultimate choice which can not be said even with the correct answer, the dilemma in the subtitle to choose it. Even game effects, such as ending changes

- The mystery of the conventional work also, to solve all the mysteries of the work now
Confidence that, all of the quality is up from previous work. In Chara three people do not know anything of the hero, it has become conversation from such as to know that of the previous work
• The ultimate choice has prepared an intense scene that life took
Because - do not want to relax the expression, is likely to be in the 3DS's first Z specified
- Anyway serious in this time, gag element crammed to the "punch line" that are making in parallel
· Kyaradeza the idea to ask to silk's was in the basic but was changed trying Uchidaso the differences from the previous work. Also the relationship because the production was in cinematic of the 3D character from the background + Standing picture
- Character, including characters from the conventional work, a good design that came out of originality while responding to demand
Events scene in a representation like watching a drama
Statement of - land is not but there is a trick
Also to enjoy the latest series in the non-consolidated

Other, protruding to draw the story in killing each other and a plurality of viewpoints of team each other was the hero in the multiple in part, initially sigma was scheduled for the hero, the flow of the route to become a figure such as the sigma his second the thing is dangerous.
And so on.


Development situation is 80 percent.
 
Good Lord I'm drowning in info!

So it seems as if it's bye bye to characters standing in poses while they talk? Instead it looks as if it's all 3D cinematics. Interesting. If that's the case I'll miss the characters standing still while talking, but still, HYPE!
 
DOG CONFIRMED

DOG IS ZERO'S ALLY

Gab really was the name of the dog all along :) edt: he's an old, male dog that is able to reach tight space not accessible by humans like air ducts. he can move between the different sections.

starting to read the original article, most interesting bit so far:

3 teams, their leader will be the protagonist(s?)

edit: really reads like there will be 3 different protagonists

3チームが存在し、そのリーダーが主人公に。
 
If it's split between three fixed teams, then maybe there isn't a single protagonist at all.

Or the dog could be the protagonist, since apparently it can move between teams.

Where does it say that?

It could be that the sets of poses have been subbed out with sets of more interesting little cinematics. Just stabbing in the AB Room dark, though.
 
Junpei as detective?

Q is amnesiac?

wheeeeeeeeew

**brain explodes**

What’s the reason for changing the character designer?

“I thought about asking Kinu Nishimura this time, but I wanted to give the impression that [this game] has changed significantly from the previous game. Also, since the production method went from backgrounds and characters drawn in standing poses to 3D cinematics, I wanted a more impressive design. I asked Rui Tomono this time, whose [work] was likely to be accepted without any resistance overseas while still having a typically Japan-like touch.”

Dang. That sounds a wee bit too much like something else by him.

But the thing is (only open spoilers if you know what I'm talking about)

Those concepts in ZE... OH MAN
