Ahhhhh, new charachter you can pursue. That doesn't change anything about Erica being in the first game though.

Also, both Erica and *Rin* being traps and employees of the stray sheep seems kinda lazy writing.

Could be just a ploy to stir "speculation" and interest. Hashino mentioned in an interview that doing announcements of announcements and all sorts of other attention grabbing hints and teasers is the way going forward for them since they found it being very effective.

Looks like the PC port is 'playable but underwhelming'.

Regarding the reports of fake unlocked framerate: https://steamcommunity.com/app/893180/discussions/0/3300476731141200871/

FRAMERATE - 11 January 2019

Hi Catherine fans,

Reports of 30fps gameplay have brought to our attention a bug where the camera and animations are not updating faster than 30fps in the puzzle sections.
We are aware of the bug and are currently looking into it.

Some further clarification on the framerate:

- Videos are locked at 30fps, due to the original assets being fixed at 30fps
- In-engine cutscenes render at vsync or higher
- Animation, movement, camera and rendering should be at vsync in all areas (currently bugged, as explained above); however as the game logic is extremely precise for elements such as sheep, blocks, and bosses, they are triggered at the equivalent of 30fps as in the original console game. Unlocking these elements would have fundamentally altered the gameplay, so the timing for them was preserved.

We’ll have another update on the above and other bug fixes once we’ve cleared QA.

Thanks,
SEGA Dev

Also reportedly whoever did this port used fan-made tool to unpack resource files and waifu2x to upscale UI elements.



(BTW the developer of the unpacker is cool with this.)

Makes me wonder if Atlus lost source files, or worse, refused to give them to the port house.

It is only proper that Waifu2X would be used on Catherine.
I mean game is all about Waifu2x.

And yes Waifu2X is amazing free tool.

Seems kind of a waste considering there's a superior version on the way, but I wonder if this might be SEGA trying to replicate the Valkyria Chronicles' success aka porting an older game with a fan following and appropriately priced as such.

Is it an rpg?

By modern definition, absolutely. You play the role of a guy having nightmares about having cheated on his incredibly boring girlfriend, in which he's a half-man half-sheep pushing and pulling boxes in order to climb up the stack, which gets smaller and smaller as the bottom row of boxes fall down every few seconds and if he's on them when it happens he lands with a SPLAT. And when he wakes up he tells his friends about it every night at a bar where they drink until they pass the fuck out.

Yes, it's really that awesome.

The weird thing is the title they decided to go with, Catherine Classic as to not be confused with Catherine Full Body, that begs the question ... why? If they had no intentions of releasing Full Body for PC why they didnt just release it with just Catherine as title?

I suspect they intend and just released this as Classic to get people to buy it and then later release Full Body at Full Price.

Why this new interest by Atlus in PC gaming? Maybe they are shitting in their pants after seeing what is possible to do now with RCPS3?

I would have bought Catherine and Persona 5 if they were released for PC some years ago... But now it's too late. I have already played them on my PC, thanks to RCPS3.

Probably to prevent people from getting confused and complaining about being fooled into buying an inferior version.
