Corpse Party: Blood Drive is now available for the PS Vita!
The horror game ‘Corpse Party: Blood Drive’ is now available at the japanese Playstation Store, exclusively for the Playstation Vita.
After the first 2 games, published for the Playstation Portable, were a huge success in japan, north america and europe, a third game of the series got published for the PS Vita, instead of the PSP.
You do not know what Corpse Party is? Well I can explain this, but beware. The game is not for the faint-hearted people…
Corpse Party is a horror game that takes place in japan.
The main characters are highschool pupils that tried to use an obscure good luck ritual, which went horribly wrong.
After failing their ritual, the pupils got transfered into a twisted dimension, which takes part some years in the past.
At the place at which their current school got build, used to be another school, in which a horrible crime has happened.
In the twisted dimension there is still the old school building, which is haunted by some malicious ghosts, which want to take revenge.
To successfully escape the death trap of school, you will have to find a way to appease the ghosts. But beware! Do not die or else your existence in the real world will vanish, and it is as if you’ve never existed in the first place!
The first 2 parts of Corpse Party can be bought as Playstation Portable titles from the Playstation Store for 9,99€/14,99$ each, from time to time even as a bundle for 14,99€/19,99$.
The North American and European version of the game got localized into english, while the audio of the game should still be in japanese.
If you are a fan of japanese horror games, then Corpse Party might be the right game for you.
The third part, Corpse Party: Blood Drive, released for the PS Vita instead of the PSP, is currently available at the japanese PSN Store for ~6500¥ (~45€/60$), but it seems that is unfortunally only in japanese.
It has yet to be confirmed that the game will be localized for the western world, but since both previous games were localized and released in North America and Europe, it is pretty likely that this will be done with the 3rd installment of the series as well.
FINALLY! With how BoS ended, the cliffhanger has been annoying me for 2 years already, and now BD is out, so hopefully spoilers about the story will start to appear, because I am DYING to know.
Importing my copy as soon as possible. Ps vita I love you. Corpse party 3 and phantasy star nova. It heaven for a gamer. : D
God dammit, as always with the good Japanese games, neither of the PSP Corpse Party games are available on the NZ store… With the vita such a pain in the *** to change accounts, I doubt I’ll be swapping to a US account to play them either… Only option I can see is to pirate them, that or buy a PSP just to play them…
Leaves a sour taste in my mouth, but if they don’t get released on the NZ store, I might have to grab the next kernel exploit (If another will eventually be made public) and pirate them.
So errm is this website deciding to become a game news too?
I would like that too so i don’t need to go somewhere else other than this site
We talk mostly about hacks, but once in a while one of our bloggers decides to talk about games or non-hack stuff they particularly like 🙂
Nice! I didn’t know that they were working on a third episode. You made my day, thanks!
(and i agree with the request of Sky Yuki ;).
It has kind of always been there. As wololo said, once in a while the bloggers cite interesting news about games, non-hacking related.
two years and still nothing close to a real exploit… at least the vita makes a pretty alarm clock
Not publicly, at least.
Dude, the ps vita has a native exploit, but only to either those whom found it on their own, or those within the scene… (disclaimer: I do not have, and will not furnish, proof of this statement).
Nothing is publicly released because they are trying to understand the inner workings some more, and find different ways of gaining access (in the event that this is completely true). If they release, Sony fixes it, and any future attempts at modding an updated system will be more locked down and futile unless a new exploit is discovered.
..That, or no one wants piracy on the vita now and/or because of everyone that has been crying and throwing a fuss for a native exploit so now they are not giving you the shiny toy for misbehaving..
@Dockotis I call ***, unless there’s something I’ve missed? I’m aware that more has been achieved than is publicly known, enough has been hinted for that statement to hold true, but I don’t think anyone has gotten as far as you’re making it sound like.
If I’m wrong, then brilliant, that’s an excellent achievement – though if it’s big enough to allow piracy, then I don’t think it should be released. I worry the vita just isn’t strong enough to be able to withstand piracy without any impacts.
I love this anime! (SssseeeiiiiiKkkooo!!!)
Come on english version! I can play all manner of 3D horror games and nothing bothers me. Rev up some corpse party and I sleep with the lights on!
Yes, there is a native vita exploit. Its sort of sub-native. The exploit works in a similar way to porting VHBL to the vita, via a PSP exploit; except the exploit is on a native vita game. Its called vita UVLoader. https://github.com/yifanlu/UVLoader
Yifanlu is behind it and although not much information has been released about it, a small amount of slow progress is being made with it.
UVLoader will grant you a native user mode, but you’ll be limited to the functions and availability that the current game that is exploited has to the vita hardware. It won’t be capable of running pirate ROMS either.
Ohh I stand corrected, Sorry Dockotis. I completely forgot about that, we haven’t heard anything in so long haha. That’s making me curious on whether anything has happened in the development of the SDK in the last two years.
I would be very interested If yifan released a followup to this post http://yifan.lu/2012/12/12/playstation-vita-the-progress-and-the-plan/
With any extra information found in the last two years, I’d assume going any further than that post (If much more progress has even been made) would mean giving too much information though.
The exploit used by yifan was patched a very long time ago.
Oh that’s a shame, was the game title ever released after it got patched?
