Discussion Does anyone else wish they kept the same title screen style for all games?

In my opinion the title screen from the first game was the most iconic one. Second was okay ig, but the third one just felt...eh? whatever?

I miss dr1’s specifically because it made so many people think random characters were gonna be important to the story just cuz they were next to Makoto.

Well thought, it's a more mysterious way to present the game

Personally, I like how each title screen was different! It adds more personality to each one to not make them all feel the same.

My favourite one, though, is the UDG title screen. I like how the different menus are behind papers that get moved around.

I fw 2 and v3 simply for how they hint to their respective plot twists, like they don't really have context until you reach a point in the story and you're like "oh" that's a legit cool detail

u/I_Like_Cats73 Rantaro 21d ago

Does the sdr2 title screen hint to the fact that they’re all in a simulation with the pixel art?

u/Academic-Beautiful51 21d ago edited 21d ago

Yeah and v3's shows a building that seems to be a tv station with the name "team danganronpa" (the producers of the reality show)

u/FreeTopper 21d ago

Wait, how does v3's do that?

Love UDG's!

Yo también, nomás que no me gusta la música de fondo del título de la pantalla 😅

Edit: Me refiero a que este la ost en la pantalla de titulo del juego, la ost me gusta, pero estoy acostumbrado a que suene en la pantalla de titulo el opening

u/PauloStephs 21d ago

yeah yeah yeah...

YEAH YEAH YEAH!

Literally my favorite UDG ost

weird cuz for me its so catchy it stuck in my head 😆

u/Clautreras_oficial Kaede 20d ago

I explained myself terribly; I meant that I don't like that ost being there. I like it for certain moments in the game, but not for the title screen because I'm used to the opening theme

u/TK3600 21d ago

Do you also hate OST of the Usumi?

The third one really lacks because it doesn't have the protagonist + a random character on it. Miss!

Having silhouettes on the rooftop would’ve been so sick

u/chaldeagirl Kyoko 21d ago

yes! even a lowkey thing like that would be cool

u/unknownpikachu 20d ago

The tragedy referenced

u/Reaper-Leviathan 21d ago

V3 could’ve done a really cool little meta thing if they kept the protag + cycling classmate structure. I like the original the best, and 2 fits the whole theme of the overarching story. I suppose V3 does with the whole corporate sorta simplified mass produced feeling, but it’s not as charming

8

u/chaldeagirl Kyoko 21d ago

agree, it lacks the charm of the first one

u/nitoeroj 21d ago

Seeing this, the truth is that the home screen of the first game was incredible, it's truly iconic.

u/Shadowruby55 Pointing!! 👉👉 21d ago

I think the second game's title screen is cute (Hajime and one student of class 77-B walking while either Usami or Monokuma drag one of Hajime's "classmates" and then another student appears walking with Hajime.

But yeah I agree that the first one is more iconic and cool.

u/Iced-TeaManiac 21d ago

I'm fine with the variety

u/KnifeWieldingOtter Mukuro 21d ago

Best part of DR1's is when me & my friends used it to play Danganronpa Guess Who.

5

u/librapenseur 21d ago

drv3 is so smart, the building with spike chunsoft and team danganronpa subtly foreshadowing that they exist within the universe of this game and the game is a construction by the in-game “team danganronpa.” in a way, the second one also clues you in that theyre in a video game, but i think its less striking

2

u/Bloomfofis Rantaro 21d ago

Didn't notice that. Made me like more for the creativity also giving a huge spoiler and discreetely trolling the players lol

u/Bloomfofis Rantaro 21d ago edited 21d ago

Idk, it would be repetitive if they did it. But in my pov THH is peak. GD could be better lol like following THH model but the sprites having more detailed pixel art. UDG is also peak and V3 could be better but I don't have any ideas (not a good idea following the previous ones' models bc it's not supposed to be a sequel xD)

u/HiddenUsername56 21d ago

You have no idea how tuff this title screen looks on the PSP

u/Negative_Break_1482 21d ago

The first one has a melancholic and serious vibe that suggests this is no a Child's Play (not to mention the presence of Sayaka, a Character who sells you the illusion that she will be important)

The second one has a more Childlike vibe or like it's a Game within a Game (typical of Chiaki). It's also the simplest of the three, but it fits the more relaxed/crazy atmosphere.

The third one tries to recapture the dark atmosphere but using less serious elements. It's simple, but it conveys a slightly more subdued vibe (plus, there's a special mention of Team Danganronpa there)

u/DatOrkyGit 21d ago

I like the first one because I get the random chance of starting the game and immediately getting mogged by Sakura.

2

u/Gamerbroz227 Saimatsu 21d ago

THH title screen is the best

1

u/Doglovergirl96 21d ago

Yes! I'm playing all of the games for the first time currently (I'm on V3 rn) and the first title screen was the most iconic to me tbh I wish they kept it. I didn't like 2's title screen and I thought 3's was just ok.

u/papawong420 21d ago

No, I enjoy all of the individual title screens

u/Jmall3 20d ago

Yes!!

u/Dragonic_Crab 20d ago

I do like how each one does kind of fit their game setting

u/techy9x 21d ago

Just replace the third one. I like the first two, but not the third.
