They just need to take the hacking/scanning of people from Watch_Dogs and do it RIGHT this time. There's actually a lot of cool approaches to take with a Psycho-Pass game. You get a cloudy pass early, and have to hide from the near-infinte pass scanners--Stealth game. You're with the investigation squad going around trying to solve crimes--mystery/detective game. Hell, what if they made a game where you play as the Sibyl system, and need to keep managing the general population and keeping them under control? That one would probably make for a good cell-phone game, and I know those are all the rage in Japan. It'll probably just turn out to be a crappy game that follows the plotline of the show though. Better to have it exist than not, I guess.

Pretty sure it's a Visual Novel type thing rather than an actual game.

Ah, okay. That actually could be pretty cool then, sticking to telling a good story and not worrying about making it work in a game-y way. I hope it's something akin to a dating sim, or other choose-your-romance game like Steins;Gate, and the only way to get a good ending is to date the person SIBYL TELL YOU TO DATE. All the other choices should result in various bad ends.

Any game based on this series that doesn't tell me exactly what each and every color variation of my Psycho-Pass says about my psyche, mood-ring style, should be regarded as an instant failure.

I think if anyone tried to make a Psycho Pass or really any kind of GitS type video game they're going to fail to meet the expectations that the show presents. It would have to be open world and include all the awesome features of the show as completely dynamic mechanics that work completely on their own.

The SAC game is a pretty generic 3rd person shooter/brawler. Also for some reason you can't really make out anyone's character portrait.

A really good GiTS game would involve playing each member in different game types toward a single objective. Like stealth, detective work, sniping, heavy weapons action, and of course some sort of hacking. Heck, they could arbitrarily assign roles to the less distinctive members, like driving and melee combat. Too bad that will never happen! By contrast, a psychopass game would work fine if it was primarily detective work with some light action components.

Psycho Pass as a P&C adventure game would be pretty great, but that type of game doesn't seem to have ever taken hold in Japan.

I was about to be disappointed about that but then I checked the ANN article; apparently he did the series composition for Le Chevalier D'Eon? Maybe it's not so bad after all.

He's an okay writer and the Mardock Scramble movies are pretty good, even though I wish the second two held up to the action scene the first movie had and I believe Urobuchi is at least going to supervise. I don't think there's any cause for concern.

It appears (if Wikipedia is right) to have been serialized in an old-school Science Fiction magazine. gently caress, I guess what I'm trying to ask is: Are the novels good on their own? I kinda want to revisit the story without having to hear Megumi Hayashibara doing her most  performance that I can recall.Great Rumbler posted:He's probably not entirely out of the project, but it sounds like he'll be in more of a supervisor role instead of writing all the individual scripts like he did in the first season. Is he gonna be able to manage, though? I mean, Kamen Rider Gaim is still on the air (and I'm loving every single tasty, juicy minute of it), so it seems rather unlikely.

I'm not sure if it's because I already know the ending, but after watching the first episode of extended edition (2 first episodes roughly, I suppose?) I have to say the show feels a lot less psychotic and pacing seems better than before than in the original. Noticed few small nods to the ending which were the lab person saying to Akane that why'd she pick her job considering her high scores/non-cloudy Psycho Pass, and telling her to become an official and change the system (Which, as I understand would be kind of difficult since the system pretty much ranks people how much threat they are to the system itself). Akane being all expressionless regardless of her teasing, completely being somewhere else. Also the old guy mentioning that he can see latent criminals by just looking at them/observing them and that's why he has so high score himself is clearly nod to the ending. Not sure if those parts were in the original. But I did notice a few small scenes added in which made the pacing better and explained the setting a little more.

I'm watching the new redo and enjoying it. I can't say that I recall any specific differences, but I'm really looking forward to the new season. I really want to see Akame as a hard-bitten, seasoned detective with the knowledge of how things really exist in her society just doing stuff. Maybe it's because I already know about Makishma, but his role and purpose seems more clear the second time around. Spooky-Boogie is as delightful as ever.

Anyway, I've had this on my "to watch" list forever now and thought that since i'm trying out Funi's streaming again now was the time to give it a look. Anyway, I watched the first 4 episodes and have been enjoying it, but I just now realized that they are also streaming the newly repackaged version.  So, being as I'm only likely to watch a couple episodes a week anyway should I just watch the new version? Is it literally just two episodes stuck together per week or is it an entire re-edit?

Even if the man is only an OK writer, some of his previous work is similar and it seems he has a decent base to work off of. I've only watched the first few episodes of the re-work, but I've noticed some animation improvements. Mostly re-watching to pick up on anything I missed since I liked it so much though.

Finished up watching the fancy special edition version of this, and while it didn't totally blow me away I do think it was a pretty solid show over all. Nothing particularly hilarious jumped out at me in regards to the bad animation either, so it definitely seemed they fixed most of that up for this version too. (I'm not the harshest critic of wonky animation though) While it did end with some obvious sequel hooks, I'm not sure that it actually needs a second season, sometimes things should just end and you can let your mind play with the idea of what might happen from there. Of course, that's moot since a second season is coming soon, hopefully an almost complete change of staff and studio will still make a decent show! It worked so well for Gunslinger Girl... also  Spoooky Booogie

And that was arguably some of Gunslinger Girl's strongest material... But it worked out for FMP! Of course, it's not exactly a herculean task to be better at anime than poor old Gonzo. The staff and studio changes has me pretty worried about S2 Psycho-Pass. I fear the cardboard filler insert in my S1 artbox may be taking up permanent residence...

Just watched the S2 trailer and debating if I should watch the Extended S1 to refresh my memory? I thought the original was 7/10 for interesting world and lackluster ending w/no resolution. Akane is one of my top anime protagonists from recent years if that counts for anything. Kougami should've died along with Makishima. He didn't change much apart from once cool detective gone bad.

The new scenes they added to s1 don't seem like required viewing. A lot of internal monologue over still frames that don't really add much.

From what I understand they didn't add anything new to the plot so you're not missing any new revelations or plot points, but if you just want to re-watch it my guess would be that the new edit would be the way to go. I thought it worked quite well as 11 hour(ish) long episodes.

Good to hear I kinda assumed it'd be choppy or rushed since they might have had to skip over minor scenes to stay within the series limit. I wonder if someone compiled a list of all the added internal monologues somewhere so I can just read it to save time.

I watched the extended edition in preparation for S2 because I didn't remember S1 very well. Now, having admitted that I don't remember S1 very well, I think the EE was better. Most of the stuff which appeared new to me seemed to be scenes introducing and fleshing out Makishima and his motivations, which made the whole thing feel more adversarial, which I liked. Plus they added a scene which gave some more background for... uh... the red-headed enforcer who had no real personality. Which was nice. But not enough to make me remember his name.

I really hope Season 2 is good. I feel like so much anime just lucks out at being good and then they do a sequel with no one from the original and it's terrible a la Eureka Seven vs Eureka Seven: AO which totally forgot the plot and characters of it's predecessor.
