Glad that a new batch of fans will be introduced to this wonderful game, but mildly distressed that 5pb seems to have taken what was a superior game to any of their own products and, dare I melodramatically say it?, "ruin" it with many of these new story-altering CGs. Like ...

(These spoilers are pretty big spoilers that contain references to events explained in the final path of the game. You should only highlight these if you have completed the game.)
spoiler[That CG of everyone eating together should not be possible since it shows adult Kaburaki (imposter Takeshi) and child Kaburaki (Kid) at the same dinner table together. Adult Kaburaki pairs with fake Kid, child Kaburaki (i.e. true Kid) pairs with true Takeshi. This CG seems to introduce a paradox for the pointless purpose of LOL OMG NEW ART!]
spoiler[What is up with Sara crying CONSTANTLY in a lot of these new CGs? Yeah, her original CGs had a bias towards featuring her crying, but good lord -- half of her new CGs seem to have her bawling. Sara was a pretty strong individual for the most part. She only got emotional concerning Tsugumi and fake Kid.]
spoiler[And what is up with that gun!? O_o WTH!? Talk about your major changes to the story!]

Not to mention that those 3DCG models are so much uglier than the original 2D character art that there's absolutely no point in having them. If they had been an improvement over the original art, that would be one thing, but this is something completely different.

Id probably hold off on assuming they've somehow "ruined" it until getting a chance to play through it myself. Which will probably never happen. A guy can dream though.

Same here. However, I will say I'm not a fan of the new OP - I liked the original OP song much better.

I wonder if 360 is region-free, maybe I will-*Googles it* ...awwwww.

Ah well, maybe if Corpse Party is successful, XSeed and 5pb can partner again to bring this over. Ever17 needs another shot in the US, it was an awesome visual novel.

I wish they would stop remaking this series

I barely touched infinity cure on neo geo pocket and the dreamcast ones are still sealed. but the PC one is definitely the best which is what this new remake is based on. It's sad that US company went out of business when they tried to localize them.

Wasn't Infinity Cure part of Never7, not Ever 17?
