I've only heard of four of those. And only played Shadow Hearts. =/

This is a case of a C-list developer (Idea Factory), getting together with 3 rather sizable other companies and licensing their C-list games to put in a SRPG crossover. It's doomed from conception. :lol

duckroll has to be one of the most pessimistic posters on the board...

Too bad he is almost always right....damn gackt...

More Gungrave = has to be a good thing.
And on the bright side, it can't be as bad as Namco x Capcom.

Their games are bleh, but not true awful. They at least have some understanding of how to make an SRPG. NxC is nothing short of an abomination though. I shudder to admit I paid good money for it.

okay pretty much anything witht he name chaos wars is likely to be great... throw in the fact that its a 4 company crossover and one of the properties is Shadow Hearts, definitely top-notch weirdness, you have pure gold.

DAY ONE, PEOPLE. DAY ONE.

Bah. Of all of the crossovers Sega has to be involved in, why this shit? Where is my Sega vs Namco fighter? where is my Sega X Namco X Capcom X Not Shitty This Time? :(

Shadow Hearts is not a C-list game :(

but this is still going to suck ... which is too bad, because I like the SH universe :/

I'm surprised they teamed up with Atlus and didn't get any of the MegaTen characters. Or maybe Atlus just wouldn't allow it.

So basically, if IF didn't suck, we could be cramming together, say, Sakura Wars and MegaTen along the shared occult bits (and, for that matter, pick up SH on similar lines and time period).

Outside of SH, Growlanser is the headliner games for this, and we're probably not even going to get Urushihara art out of it. That's very, very sad.

They "teamed up" with Sega and got Gungrave and Shinsengumi Guraw Den out of it. That should tell you what kind of budget and arrangement they're working on. :p

I enjoy Namco X Capcom :p nice fanservice and great music. As a srpg is certainly not good, but I like it in a odd way.

I guess you can't blame them for trying. Someone should try to get NIS to do one of these collab SRPG's in the future.

Is this in the new Famitsu?

Looks like it's in Dengeki too? Looks pretty damn bad, the art is by the Idea Factory artist and they look like horrible approximations of the original characters. :lol

Why do I think that even with 4 possible companies bringing it...it will stay in japan?

Idea Factroy -> NIS
Sega
Atlus
Aruze -> XSEED

Not that I'm very interested in it...I don't know many of those characters :/
