Catherine Gets Its First Mysterious Trailer

By Spencer . August 19, 2010 . 8:47am

The first Catherine trailer opens with Vincent talking about a rumor where if you die in a dream you die in real life. An unseen woman says she hasn’t, but has had a dream where she killed someone.

 

 

Vincent’s nightmares are populated by lambs wearing ties. One of them falls to their death on top of the Catherine logo and a man is found dead in his bed.

 

Aside from Catherine, the trailer gives us a glimpse at some other characters in the game, Vincent buddies, a bartender who appears to be watching them, and another woman who is really upset at Vincent.

    It has my interest. Would love to see or hear more about the gameplay before I sink in, though.

    Hahaha, so I was not the only one thinking that <3

    While I generally don’t like rap, it think it suits the trailer.

    Yeah… but never something like this (and i outline, “this”)… also, we have to see if this is more like an “action novel” or what… remember Sony dislike these kind of games for the US ._.

    What’s the deal going on with disqus? I have another comment that disappeared because it’s waiting for approval? Err?

    Can anyone shed some light on this?

    B-b-but we did get Disgaea Infinite.. Although I’m not sure of the chances of a vn game on a console, but let us put faith in Atlus

    Yeah I can, sort of, somehow real comments are getting fielded as spam. We’ve been under a spam attack recently so perhaps the system is being overzealous. I’m looking into it though!

    Spencer, thank you for the clarification. =)

    Vincent (Yamadera Kouichi): say, Catherine. Have you ever dreamed you were… dying? Well, actually… dreamed you were getting killed.
    Catherine (Miyuki Sawashiro): Not getting killed, I don’t think so. I dreamed I was killing, though.

    Vincent: (didn’t get that)
    some guy: (same)
    barman (Koyasu Takehito): There’s still tomorrow, but we might be dead then.

    Catherine: You’ve grown quite fond of me, didn’t you? It’s alright… you can do whatever you want to me.
    Vincent: What the hell… is this??

    Well I’m buying this game.

    Also I love the music at the beginning of the trailer. I <3 Bach.

    Studio 4C did a wonderful job on the animation, it miles better than the work Gonzo did for Blazblue…

  • Aoshi00

    Vincent is voiced by Yamadera Kouichi (Spike from Cowboy Bebop / Kaji of Evangelion), w/ that suave voice he can just carry this game all by himself :) Is Koyasu like the bartender or something.

  • Aoshi00

    yeah, everyone said Vincent betrayed his girlfriend in P3P, I guess that’s her.

  • Aoshi00

    I’m pre-ordering too, Yamadera Kouichi just sold me the game (you had me at hello). The 3D models in HD look really nice. yea, that must be the gf you mentioned. I think I would import it on the PS3 to continue the playstation tradition and if it come to the US I’d get it again on the 360 (I’ve bought the Jpn & US ver for both P3 and 4 and haven’t even scratched he surface of either of them :(…. I hope it leans more toward visual novel instead of a dungeon RPG.

    I quite doubt this is actually a visual novel game.

  • Aoshi00

    I thought the BlazBlue opening animation was kind of bad, compared to the char portraits, not as bad as the SF IV cutscenes (or stills rather) though, it’s too bad they don’t pull out all the stops for such brief animation sequences..

  • Anonymous

    Oh man, I thought the Opening animation was fine, but the cutscenes in CS…made me laugh… I don’t think that was supposed to happen…

    The SF IV cutscenes were bad too. (No wonder…I didn’t know they were done by Gonzo as well).

    Production I.G. does a good job as well, but Studio 4C is more appropriate for this game with their interesting visuals and mindbendy-ness

    My thoughts exactly.

    And few can match the breath of work she has done cross oh so many genres, nyu.

    I hope the FeMC of P3P will make an appearance in this game,
    Lol just joking.

  • Anonymous

    Oh, that’s why Vincent’s voice sounded pretty familiar too. :D

    I was hoping he’s not voicing the bartender, but seems like he does? Can’t he voice some sort of sexy character again? That dude he voiced in Ar Tonelico 2 was not much sexy either. D: …I wonder if I’ll ever get my second season of Neuro… now, that was sexy. XD

  • Anonymous

    Hmm… now that you mention her… both Miyuki and Koyasu did work together on the Persona anime too. Coincidence? :>

    I can’t figure out what that first song is. I’m pretty sure it’s a famous classical piece. Either way, this game looks freaking awesome. Looks more like an interactive movie so far, but even if it was, I’m not complaining one bit. The storyline will be fantastic!

  • Anonymous

    I knew it! I just finished watching Cowboy Bebop so as soon as I saw Vincent I thought “…Spike?” and then I heard his voice.

  • Aoshi00

    yea, 99% of the chars he voiced are so handsome and have long hair :) I loved Neuro too, one reason was Koyasu :), it would be cool if we get a 2nd season.

    Sex, Demons, Knives, Play Naked, and Sheep. I am getting this.

    Did you know he also voiced one dude in an otome h-game? XDD He’s using another name tho, but it’s unpossible to not recognise that voice, haha. XD Funny thing: Hoshi no Oujo 3 was my first otome game ever and I wasn’t very familiar with japanese VA’s back then… last year I installed the game again and went all wtf!? when I noticed Koyasu was voicing one of the characters…. it was pretty strange to hear him moaning at me then. XDDD

    I also love all his freaky voice roles… like Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo… XDDD or Il Palazzo-sama!!! XDD So awesome! Olivie from Angelique was pretty hilarious too. :D But Neuro really made me go all crazy for Koyasu… *__* Kelpie from Hakushaku to Yousei was awesomely hot too… especially since I’m so addicted to fairy stuff anyways. :D

    I think that it’s easy to forget in the age of sequels, but Atlus deserves immense credit for stepping up to the plate with a new IP. (Which is to say nothing of my bloodlust for P5 ;P)

    I’ll just assume this is accurate because I want it to be. Thank you so much!

  • Scallion

    This doesn’t look anywhere as impressive as Mind Game…sheep with ties?
    This Vincent guy has some of the most boring dreams ever.
    Still, I hope I’m pleasantly surprised.

    There’s more to it than just sheep with ties…

    Haha, basically. They do look quite nice already, so I look forward to seeing them in HD. I feel like importing, but if the translation above is anything, I might be better of just waiting for it to be localized. Me and my kanji haven’t been getting along so well.

    I honestly think it’d lean closer to the dungeon RPG style, but it seems like it could be a mix of both. I believe someone in on the Atlus forum said they thought it’d be something like the stairs of Tartarus in P3? I don’t know. But just visnov style, I can’t see them going that route with this game. Maybe blending it with something else, yea. And it’d probably go well. But I also doubt they’d go full on dungeon RPG.

    Oh yea, did you get your Shigenori-sensei artbook on playasia? I’m thinking of checking out Kinokuniya because of the playasia shipping, but if there’s some place better…?

  • Aoshi00

    You’re probably right, w/ the stairs and all it would be dungeon-esque.. I hope it isn’t too much like P3, it was too repetitive for me, I just want to experience the story w/o too much repetition.

    I got my artbook from YesAsia, I think they have the best deal all around. You just need to throw in a manga or something to round up to $40 for free shipping. Their packing is meticulous too, they use 2 pcs of cardboards and layers of bubble wraps. This is strictly for Persona 3/4 fans though, I would probably enjoy it a lot more if I had played more of those games. At the end there’s interview w/ the artist too. I was hoping there would be some Trauma Center art in it :(..

    Not to sound snippy, but…the “if” in my comment is pretty visible from here. As in, if 4ºC goes for a tenth of the strangeness of Mind Game. ;)

  • Anonymous

    It would be worrisome if it did come out like P3. But I think they’ll add enough variety. P4′s dungeons were fun, with all their few and yet many differences. Hopefully they’ll think like that, but still add more variety and innovation to it.

    Oh, I see. That isn’t bad at all. I can think of a few manga. I’ll have to see if they have anything by Fukumoto in stock. And that’s understandable, I heard it does cater to the P3&4 fans mainly, which is sad. Because I would have loved more art from the other SMT series and the other works Soejima-sensei has done. Maybe at another point though~?

    Thanks for sharing the information with me!

    I think that first song is Bach’s Fugue in G Minor.
