Umineko no Naku Koro ni PS3 port (Episode 3 α released!)

Hey guys, I thought I'll create a topic where people can discuss about port of Umineko EP1-4 made by Umineko Project.

 

Core points of the Umineko Project version of Umineko:

  • Features 1080p assets (game looks beautiful)
  • Features simple animations (rain, lightning etc.)
  • Features Trophies
  • Features "polished" Witch-Hunt translation
  • Features Music and Picture boxes
  • Features Controller support
  • and much more...

There's also a lot of things to be implemented.

Some screenshots (I guess we can call them spoiler-free, they're from EP1 and beggining of EP2, they may take a while to load):

Right now there are two episodes(beta phase) available for everyone who owns the PS3+PC versions of the game. There's also on-going alpha-tests for up to third episode, which was released today. Anyone who's willing to join alpha testing and help with fixing translation/finsing bugs is free to do so.

Well, couple words from me about the port. The game looks stunning, everything is very well-drawn. Original Witch-Hunt translation is pretty bad, as I played through first episode and partially second, UP translation is a bit better in couple parts, so don't expect unimaginable level. I think it still could use some polishing, but that might just be me. The port started in 2011, so the guys behind it (Umineko Project) are working on it for quite a while. If everything goes alright, we should have all 4 episodes in beta state by the end of the next year(I think?)

It has a password only for owners of both the original and the PS3 version, right? Is that a way to play it with only one? [aka does anyone has a password?]

Alpha testers have access to all available episodes.

I have it. Sorry for the stupid question, but are there any rules against posting it?

It is already borderline enough to allow a translation like that (which packs the whole game and not just a patch) on the forums, I'd rather not make it an open distribution of illegal software.
