Thanks for telling us about this JB2448. I had no idea this was in the process of being Greenlit on Steam. I love Gurumin!

This is truly awesome news. I sold my PSP Gurumin before completing it, since I just had too many games at the time. I will gladly get this on Steam even if I don't get it for free for voting it up.

Been waiting for this! The momentum is really picking up. Hey Red or MP, one of you should do a stream once it gets greenlit

So... I'm assuming this will probably be the PC version of Gurumin, that one had watched on Red Hairdo's streams, ne? I'd definitely want to get this! *votes!*

So... I'm assuming this will probably be the PC version of Gurumin, that one had watched on Red Hairdo's streams, ne? I'd definitely want to get this! *votes!* That's what Mastiff replied in one of Steam's threads! What is very confusing though is how the trailer shows footage using the PSP version's user interface, but the screenshots are clearly from the PC version, with there being some japanese text here and there. The trailer also mentions "19 costumes to unlock in total!", which is the amount of costumes the PSP version had! But if they said it's the PC version, I hope they mean what it HAS to be, instead of them beng mistaken and think the PC version also had 19 costumes, and so by localizing the PC version solely, they won't have to add all the PSP costumes into it. They also said that for now they can't include the JP voice acting like they did as a secret in the PSP version, but that they really want to do it and may be able to if people show enough interest in it after the game releases! Also, thank you JB2448 for showing us this!!!!!!! And yeah, I wouldn't mind streaming this as well. But doing that or not, eitherway I'll play the hell out of it once more! Plus, it'd be cooler I think if MP83 streamed it this time since he hasn't tackled that game on for a very, very, veeeeeery long time now. Also, this reminds me I have yet to play the Japanese PSP version of Gurumin. And I wonder what also may have changed between the EU and US releases of Gurumin. *played the EU version*

Also, this reminds me I have yet to play the Japanese PSP version of Gurumin. And I wonder what also may have changed between the EU and US releases of Gurumin. *played the EU version* Have you checked the video title? It's clearly called "Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure for PSP - The Official Trailer". This usually happens when they don't have a trailer ready for the specific version being announced. The screenshots are also from the Japanese version, raw. I think their work is simply not presentable yet. Either way, hyped for this. While I probably won't play it *hugs US PSP version*, I'll keep it installed on my PC, just because. It's obvious I haven't checked the video title, you don't need to ask. When you click on a link about "Gurumin coming for PC on Steam!" and get fisted with a trailer on the face, you don't really start looking away from the video itself and decide to look around for titles. Anyway, you are missing the whole point: Will this be a mere localization of the PC version, or will it also have additions to it, such as the exclusive PSP version costumes? We already knew the footage was of the PSP version and the screenshots of the Japanese PC version. (Which could very well not be raw, by the way. There was no indication it wasn't from the raw game, but that does not mean it HAD to be from the raw japanese original. Could perfectly be screenshots from a work-in-progress. Just pointing that out.)

Yeah, you are right. I shouldn't expect people to be sensible on the Internet and check stuff out properly before saying stupid shit, I'm sorry. :V How ironic. You should hear your own words of wisdom better then, since they apply even better to you: Did you check the description of that very video? Oh, but now I'm contracting myself; it's obvious you didn't, so I shouldn't ask. I shouldn't have to explain the obvious, but it seems needed: with the PSP trailer they announce the Windows PC product solely. No word on anything PSP, other than the fact that they had brought it over in the past through that platform. A trailer of one thing with a promoting speech towards something else. Your whole point is based around the fact that you didn't even bother to check if the trailer was in fact for the PSP version of the game, or just used footage from it. Read above. And of course I bothered to check, but I actually missed seeing it, there is a sea of difference. Just how you ironically missed out the video description I pointed out above. (Funnily enough I didn't miss that, yet I missed the ending of the title?) I even went as far as to check every Steam thread created (12, last I checked). The whole point is based around the fact that people WILL and ARE confused (source: the forums themselves) about the nature of this release, regarlessly of what the main promotional video's title says, which actually clarifies nothing new, since we already knew all the footage was from it anyway, and also given all the other sources, Mastiff's own responses to the public included. As mentioned, the trailer to this release promotes, among other features, "19 Costumes". One may think "Mastiff certainly wouldn't let other people think they can unlock these features when they can't, else they would clarify that somewhere! But they didn't, so that HAS to mean they are including the PSP release's extras to this!", but others may suspect "they legitimately slipped there". Of course, in their defense they can naturally say "oh, that trailer showed the PSP footage, not our PC one", but then their decision would have been one that really begs for trouble. People were still asking about it in the forums. So, which one of the two is it? How does the title really affect the whole point? Spoiler: It doesn't.

...Isn't all this getting a bit too blown out of proportion? Before going on and asking stuff like "OMG IS THIS THE PSP VERSION PORTED AND WHERE ARE MY HATS I LIKE TF2", I'd probably check the video properly. :'D But yeah, maybe I shouldn't expect people to do that. I don't think anybody was going like so here either. ^ ^; I think it's pretty natural when one sees a game one is fond of getting another release, one tends to post excitedly one's speculation in the forum where others like the same game? On that note, I haven't seen the trailer. Actually, I can't - for some reason they aren't showing up for me (I wonder if the videos are hosted on youtube..? Though that makes no sense somehow...?). :/ But hearing you all mention that they actually posted the PSP trailer now makes me wonder if they are just porting over the PSP version to the PC, or actually bringing over the PC version.

Someone on Steam asked which version it will be. Here's Mastiff's reply:

So, does this sudden announcement has anything to do with XSEED trying to approach Mastiff about Gurumin? :V Nope. Actually, we were just as surprised to see this as you guys probably were -- if not more so, since we chat with Falcom all the time, and ask them about their PC titles all the time, but they never said a word about this to us! Guess because we never asked about Gurumin specifically -- we hadn't gotten to it yet. -Tom

I did check the description, but them announcing the game there (as well) doesn't mean that the trailer is for the PC version, as it is still a trailer for the PSP version. The video is not for the announced title, but for a different version of it. So yes, the confusion is still pretty stupid. :V The trailer is to promote the PC version. That means if you did check the video description as you claim, then you don't know how to read, nor how to apply context, which is the real stupidity given your attitude. The trailer is for the PC version, as in, to advertise they are selling specifically the PC version only, through that trailer, and not the PSP version. That in itself is undeniable. Furthermore, and also addressing especially WyrdWad at this (whom I never expected to see supporting out-of-line asshole-ish behavior), it's not that people won't "read the text above the trailer", but upon further inspection, I discovered what's the real problem: The text above the trailer is not there in the first place.What happens when you click on the link that takes you to the Steam greenlight page is that the trailer's title is not there, and once the video loads, its title appears, but IMMEDIATELY disappears, a moment before the video's timespan reaches even past 0:00. Check it out for yourself, and you will see. (Unless if the mouse cursor happens to be on top of the video, something you naturally wouldn't do, because you don't want to obstruct your vision of the trailer itself!) And when you think you could see it after the video ends, well, if you were watching the video the whole time, before you notice anything else, Steam automatically loads the next video for you! A making-of video, giving you zero room to suspect you missed what you did. ...Although! Again, how does this change anything we already knew, Wyrd? Without even the hidden tittle, we all knew it was all PSP footage eitherway, so that changes absolutely nothing, including your implication being invalid, as the viewer was aware of what the video was. So why you are posting this is unknown to me, since it lacks any purpose, unless if you were actually being ill-spirited, as well. Or maybe you just didn't read my previous post completely, but I won't assume anything until you say it yourself. It's just like when you state in a trailer that a certain game is coming for other consoles as well. When you see a "The Amazing Spider-Man" trailer and see that it's also coming for the DS, you don't expect it to feature the same things as the high-end gameplay footage, right? Terrible example: The PSP localization is not an upcoming game, and they are not promoting that version either, unlike in your analogy. Plus, in such a case, they always make sure to announce by the end of the video and/or in its description what platforms it's coming to. The video description you missed/can't read, and the whole reason this video was uploaded for, is to promote solely the PC version, while the poor analogy you provided specifically promotes a whole game, without a single version in mind. Once we have a trailer for the PC version, we will know what features are in. Until then though, there's no reason to wonder about this thing. Oh? So there's going to be another trailer? Are you assuming that or are you certain of it? Because while I see room for assumption, I don't see room for certainty. Mastiff in the least didn't give any word on anything like this, so far. But yeah, until Mastiff provides more material or info, there's nothing else to discover. Although this is a forum; We like to speculate. Otherwise there's no point in even being in, y'know, a fan game series forum?! Lurking would take care of everything if so. I'm pretty sure I would expect my fan base to bother with what's in front of their eyes (because yes, the video title on the Steam page actually appears), before jumping the confusion train. "What's in front of their eyes"? Read above. Before going on and asking stuff like "OMG IS THIS THE PSP VERSION PORTED AND WHERE ARE MY HATS I LIKE TF2", I'd probably check the video properly. :'D But yeah, maybe I shouldn't expect people to do that. Why you walk in circles with your ears blocked I don't know, but it's been long stated there was no mystery the video shows the PSP footage and that Mastiff was bringing the PC version, so stop being juvenile in implicating that I ever wondered for a single moment whether they were porting the PSP version or not, in your typical, childish attitude. My very first sentence in my very first post was me stating Mastiff's clarification which GMF just directly quoted in his post. I guess this addresses all. Now I'm eagerly waiting for Mastiff's next input!

... I can't believe that's what you meant. xD But I see now. I'm glad I chose not to assume anything. No harm done, and thanks for clarifying!

To be honest, I'm a bit skeptical about all this.
The trailer is from the PSP version, the screenshots are from the japanese PC version and are they REALLY going to give out 30k copies just for voting yes on Greenlight? Mastiff is a known publisher they could've just put the game up on Steam, no need to go through Greenlight (unlike Treasure who put Ikaruga on GL because they didn't know they didn't have to since Steam's ToS was in English)
Maybe we're being sold smoke, but eh it's a free Falcom game (which I was gonna purchase anyway)

Awesome, so it happened as expected. I haven't had the time to look into anything the past few months, but now I have some time to keep an eye on things like this again. I don't think I can dig up all the Gurumin Steam threads right now, though, but I wonder if anyone or Mastiff itself revealed anything new on their plans? Having peeked at a few threads, it doesn't seem Mastiff has revealed anything new ever since. All I saw was someone wondering if this would support widescreen natively, mentioning how that was done for Sora no Kiseki's Steam release.

So Gurumin is out on Steam. If you did their little promotion earlier for a free copy, you are supposed to go to this siteand log in with your Steam account to get your code. Semi-sketchy and they claim to not retain Steam info, but the code I got worked.
