So just one day left but here's what we haven't seen;
-Any effects apart from the Umbrella, Knife and what is apparently the Lantern.
-Masada and Mars-San
-The White Desert
-Hell (Could the red areas they've shown be that?)
-Block World, Eyeball World, Candle World, Numbers World, Dark World, Neon World, Shield-Folk World, Graffiti World and Puddle World.
-Stairway of Hands
-Kamakurako
-Mafurako
Probably more, but this is a lot already. I'm not saying they've definitely cut all this out though, but I don't think it's likely all of this will be in. If it somehow is however we could be looking at a huge game.

Ok, I had my doubts about the game. Honestly, I thought it would have been decent enough for it to be worth $20.
Now, this trailer has my heart feel warm and tingly. I can tell that the game looks awesome,

It barely feels like a whisper of what made YN so special to me but I'm morbidly curious so I still want to play it. Was anybody else reminded of a certain Silent Hill 2 soundtrack by the music at the end? (Speaking of which, the Henkei Shita area gave me SH vibes too.)

Every new location looks like generic horror "warehouse"/"hospital"/"lab" tropes while they added more characters that kill Madotsuki for no reason other than scares and not weirdness like the original.
Now it just looks like a generic horror title with some Yume Nikki characters attached to it. It looks amateurish too

No.1580
>>1577Let's repeat what new areas we see in this trailer and how they're generic
-Some platforming nonsense with a former shower cause "it used to be a house". high metal fences give an abandoned look
-candles with drawing on wall cause cult = creepy
-Random meat factory cause gore blood bad hygiene horror tropes
-back alley
-some lockers with flickering lights in a daaark hallway in an abandoned school
-outside school playground at night
-more factory platforming but this time so dark and vague you cannot make shit out besides random lights again
-back alley again oh no a killer hand!
-solve the puzzle in the lab/factory by getting the code in three different locations!!!
The new locations have a few things in common, they aren't surrealist like the original Yume Nikki, nor colourful, nor calm or inviting like some of the original locations. They are generic "gritty" horror tropes 101 that we've seen in 500 games before
Another thing I noticed: The train person already has a red single eye, which it only has when you use the cat effect. Thus = cat effect gone

Well… We've got something, folks…
My only problem is that effects will be treat as items, instead of effects, hence the name (which I discussed in another thread), and that it seems to aiming for the horror genre. I don't think it would work to well, since the original was based more the weird, rather then the creepy. The game being "horror" was a mere suggestion. Seems like it won't be as bad as I thought, and got my hopes back up, despite the shitty start, but I wont be surprised if it ends up being garbage, anyways.
