Hey OP, any plans for an update using the original backgrounds?

As horrible as the original artwork is, the photographs (photoshop-filtered and turned into 256-color BMPs) serving as the original backgrounds add a bit of fitting visual grit to the game, something that is completely missing from the rather sterile PS3 renditions. :shobon:

By the way, could the characters all have English-sounding name because the game makers are targetting the English-speaking world in the first place?

IIRC, the stated goal of the westernized naming scheme, and the western-style manor the game is set in, was to evoke (british and american) golden- and silver-age mystery fiction. Rather than/in addition to the, er, literary and cultural heritage VNs are usually subject to.

The PS3 release of Umineko was in 720p. Do the art assets need to be shrunk down to 640x480 to work with the PC version?

I don't know the limitations of the NScripter engine.

As an aside, Umineko is actually one of few native 1080p PS3 titles.
