Ben-DutkaWhen it comes to Atlus, we wouldn't normally have to supply the "NSFW" warning. But here, it's probably warranted.
Announced last week for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Catherine is the veteran game maker's very first high-definition title. You should read the detailed breakdown over at Andriasang (taken from the latest Famitsu): "key members" of the Persona team are hard at work on Catherine and in the game, you will play as Vincent, a 32-year-old single salaryman whose life changes dramatically upon meeting the very forward 22-year-old Catherine. Not long after the two hook up, Vincent starts having nightmares; there's a huge set of stairs in each of those nightmares and if he can't reach the top, he won't wake up. For some reason, he'll meet a large number of lambs in those horrific dreams, and all the lambs are being chased by a pair of gigantic hands…not sure what that's all about.
Here's the trailer but be careful; don't start viewing at work, or something.
Yeah, well, that's what usually happens, right? You get the hot girl that rocks your world and pretty soon, you're plagued with nightmares that somehow affect both the dream world and the real one. So what else is new? Anywho, we're not too sure about the gameplay just yet but it does seem like vintage Persona , as those RPGs always had a lot to do with an alternate universe of darkness, one that was sorta half-real. The article does suggest that the gameplay will take place within those nightmares, and it'll be a single-player experience (no big surprise there).
Producer and game director Katsura Hashino said the game is "very adult-oriented" – duh – and that it's very "different from usual." Will it be an RPG? Well, it certainly appears that way; it's really the only type of game these guys do . As for the style, well…it looks like Catherine is going to throw her fine self into the ring for consideration in the ongoing "most appealing video game vixen" contest. For more info, check out the Japanese retail poster that has been spotted (good God!) and also, if you speak Japanese, you can always go to the game's official site .
Now, is the game coming here and if so, when? It's slated to release in Japan this winter.

This is my must buy game. I love Persona series and this is the closet thing to Persona on PS3. I am an adult and I will fully enjoy adult theme game such as this. Can't wait!
Did anyone catch the song that played when you fight Megaman Juno?
In any case, Catherine looks like an interesting piece to add to my collection. I don't recall ever having a bad experience with any Persona game so this is definitely something I will look forward to.
oooooooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk………..
now if thats not the wirdest sh*t i have ever read, than i dont know what is!
hope it releases here though it certainly does sound interesting!
but if silent hill homecoming got banned, well, yea this has no hope in hell getting through!
but than it is the OFLC were talking about, how GOW3 is ok for 15 year olds to play but L4D2 is not is beyond me!
ripping a guys head off with your bare hands is fine, but blowing a zombies head off with a variety of weapons is not?
ooooooooooooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…………………
LOl! definitely weird.
But you *know* how the usual media whores that object to anything that's not 100% wholesome will react… I can almost hear the uber-puritanical parenting groups salivating at the prospect of protesting this game.
thats the problem, and thats why we never see games like this.
developers know what the end result would be, a AO rating and banned in most countries, limited sales and the media will rip them a new one.
why we have lost so many cool looking titles, six days, one of the only original looking war games and its the only one to get put on hold.
🙁
Hope it comes stateside, looks like it could be real neat.
should i be aroused, intrigued, disgusted, freaked out, or preordering? i just dont know…
All, or none, of the above….
that could truly be the $65 dollar question!!!
(I'm speaking of US dollars)LOL
Why are all the white people completely fluent in Japanese here? Wtf? We're not quite that multicultural in the world yet. Drives me nuts–seems so unrealistic.
Oh and the animation sucks something fierce, so you'll never see me buying this game.
