Hyperdimension Neptunia- U for PC launches March 21



About Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed

Gamindustri – a world protected by the four CPUs and their CPU Candidates.

No world can remain unseen by the eyes of evil, but due to the combined efforts of the CPUs and the CPU Candidates, no strong enemies or monsters are able to cause any chaos. Thus, the CPUs and their people find themselves in a peaceful boredom.

Amidst this relaxing time, the CPUs are approached with a fascinating proposition…

Key Features

• Street brawling in 1080p! Your favorite Neptunia characters get to hack ‘n’ slash their way through waves of enemies in real time with updated, 1080p graphics!

• Two-person party! With the Dual System, you’ll be able to switch between two characters on the battlefield. Balance out each character’s strengths and weaknesses to create the ultimate battle duo, and even get some new playable characters – some of whom might be familiar from previous Neptunia games.

• Let’s get physical! The heat of battle can cause some wear and tear on your outfits. When you experience a “Costume Break,” your outfits will tear, lowering your defense but increasing your critical rate and EXE Drive Gauge. The road to comebacks is paved with ripped fabric!

• Skills get the kills! Fill up the EXE Drive Gauge in order to clear the room with two tiers of special attacks, and you might just get a helping hand from your friend later on to perform some super special attacks!

《极限脱出3：零时困境》未解谜团正式揭开

　　日本杂志Fami通网站公开了本周最新杂志图，正式公开了3DS以及PSV平台ADV新作《极限脱出3：零时困境》大量新情报。本作是《极限脱出》系列的最终作品，本次也是《极限脱出3：零时困境》日版的首次公开。本作剧本以及导演依旧由打越钢太郎担任，人设由友野るい担任。本作音乐由細江慎治负责。





　　本作将有10名角色登场，事件场景部分将会是实机3D建模来表现。《极限脱出3：零时困境》故事发生在2028年12月，也就是在《极限脱出：9小时9人9门》一年以后。在《极限脱出：善人死亡》发生的时间中间，发生了《极限脱出：零时困境3》的事件。2028年12月31日，在内华达沙漠的核试验场里，这十名角色将会分成三组——C·Q·D共同生活9天来试图卸下手上的死亡手环来拯救全人类，保护80亿人。



　　本作将会把主人公们分为三个小队，具体情况如下：

　　Team C

　　・卡里克斯(CV：杉田智和)：具有强烈正义感的热血男子汉，作为消防员救过很多人的命。对于患病的妹妹十分溺爱。

　　・淳平(CV：鈴木達央)：在第一作的事件之后，就一直通过侦探寻找消失了的茜的下落，目前是个逃亡者。

　　・茜(CV：沢城みゆき)：看起来打扮非常得体整洁的女生，实际上是一个非常有野心的人。

　　第一作中的两个人物登场。



　　Team Q

　　・Q(CV：豊崎愛生)：一个失忆的少年，头上戴着一个奇怪的球，性格淳朴。

　　・埃里克(CV：石田彰)：一个在冰淇淋店工作的青年，和米拉正在交往。

　　・米拉(CV：坂本真綾)：埃里克的恋人，一个非常性感的女孩儿，本人神经迟钝，不敏感。



　　Team D

　　・戴安娜(CV：能登麻美子)：不喜欢争斗的和平主义者、普通的护士，上司劝她来参加Dcom实验。

　　・西格玛(CV：小野大輔)：身体上是22岁，却有着复杂怪异的人生，经常会被法伊叫老头子。

　　・法伊(CV：小見川千明)：性格比较粗鲁的女生，被西格玛和茜卷入到拯救世界的实验Dcom中来的人。

　　第二作中的两个人物登场，戴安娜身上也戴着和露娜一样的一个坠子。

　　其他组

　　・Zero(CV：???)：漆黑衣服包裹着的不明人士，死亡游戏的主谋，目的不明

　　・加布：奥斯的老犬，可以从人无法通过的通风管道通行，来往于各个分区。



　　同时在于打越老师的专访中，还透露了一些重要信息：

　　・当初在开发第一作之后是有2、3作一起开发的打算的，但是当平台换成3DS、PSV平台时，就变成了先看粉丝们的反应再做决定。

　　・国外想要续作的呼声非常高，才有了现在的第三作。

　　・在游戏中即使作出了正确的选择也不能说一定会达到完美结局，所以选择的变化势必影响剧情以及结局的变化，这些也是很好的提升游戏性的办法。

　　・(剧透醒目)本作将会全部解决前作留下的疑问，所以这作毫无疑问也就是最终作。现在仍然保留着四个谜团是：《极限脱出：善人死亡》中西格玛为什么失去了双手和一只眼睛;《极限脱出：善人死亡》的西格玛和法伊究竟是什么关系;2028年的最后一天，实验设施究竟发生了什么;致命病毒根号6病毒究竟是怎么泄露的。

　　・打越老师有信心本作的品质要高于前作。由于本作的三位主人公并不知道前作的故事，所以这里需要主人公们一点一点从其他角色那里了解到这些大家已经知道的信息。



　　・最终的选择包含了很多强刺激性的镜头，这里也请大家多多注意

　　・由于本作尺度问题，肯能在3DS初次评级中被评为Z级。

　　・本作人设友野老师的想法也被充分的考虑了，因为要做更多的过场动画，所以人设方面也不得不进行一些微调。希望大家在看这些动画的时候有种看电视剧的感觉。

　　・本作将不会有文字诡计

　　其他方面，本作将会尽量把西格玛这样的人物打造成第一次出现的人物，如果让大家感受到他们是第二次出场，将会对游戏的体验造成伤害。

　　游戏开发进度为80%。

Official Japanese site launched (First trailer coming March 17)



December 31, 2028—Nevada desert.

It was six days since the start of cohabitation in the experimental facility Dcom.

That day, they woke up, and nine men and women were in confinement.

On my left wrist was a black bracelet I’d never seen before—a bangle.

Then a person wearing a mask showed up, and announced the start of the the Decision game.

“The survival of all of you, me, and the human race hangs on this game.”

After that, they were transported to an underground shelter, and divided and admitted into three sections—C, Q, and D.

Which team will survive?

The future of all humanity—all eight billion people—rests on their Decision.



This is an an adventure / escape game where a group of people locked up in a facility by a mysterious character known as “Zero” are forced into a death game.

The underground nuclear bomb shelter that is the setting of this story consists of three sections and a central elevator hall, with three people in each section for a total of nine people imprisoned. While it is necessary to get to the central elevator hall to escape above ground, the path to the elevator hall is locked behind six passwords (X Doors).

The passwords required to open each X Door are revealed for every one person that dies. Will you kill the other team to escape through gimmicks prepared in the facility, or will you seek another solution?

The choice is in the hands of the player.



During “Cinema Part” event scenes, you’ll experience conversation scenes displayed through character acting and dialogue without the use of text windows. The characters are fully voiced to create a sense of reality similar to a movie or foreign drama.



Team C

- Carlos (voiced by Tomokazu Sugita) – A hot-blooded firefighter with a strong sense of justice. He has rescued many lives before. He is always doting on his younger sister, who has an incurable disease.

- Akane (voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro) – A neat and clean, ideal Japanese woman… or so she pretends to be—she is actually a shrewd woman skilled in trickery. She presides over a secret society working towards a peaceful future.

- Junpei (voiced by Tatsuhisa Suzuki) – A childhood friend of Akane. After the incident one year prior, he joined a detective agency through the underside of society in order to pursue Akane, who has not been heard from. His heart has become hardened.



Team Q

- Q (voiced by Aki Toyosaki) – A boy who lost his memory and knows not what kind of person he is. He wears a strange, spherical helmet for some reason. He is naive and kind.

- Eric (voiced by Akira Ishida) – An ice cream shop clerk. He is naturally cheerful, but has a temper as soon as he falls into a crisis. He is in a relationship with Mira.

- Mira (voiced by Maaya Sakamoto) – A woman who brings about a dubious charm. She doesn’t show too much emotion, but her reasoning seems to be that she’s “just insensitive.”



Team D

- Diana (voiced by Mamiko Noto) – A bright, gentle nurse. She is a pacifist who dislikes fighting and always has a kind smile on her face. She participates in the experiment after a recommendation from her boss.

- Phi (voiced by Chiaki Omigawa) – A cool, intellectual woman with a blunt way of speaking. She participates in the Dcom experiment together with Akane and Sigma in order to save the world.

- Sigma (voiced by Daisuke Ono) – His body is 22 years-old, but because he’s led a complicated and mysterious life, his mind is that of a 67 year-old man’s. Phi sometimes knocks him as an “old man.”



Other

- Zero (voiced by ???) – The mastermind behind the Decision game. What are the expectations behind his plan?

- Gabu – An old dog, male. He can pass through vents impassable by humans, and is the only character able to go to and from each section of the facility. The characters of the story attach cased messages to Gabu’s collar in attempts to communicate with the teams of the other sections…
