This is an RPG?

If people can call Mass Effect an RPG, anythings an RPG!

[duckroll]

Yeah, he makes most sense, considering the Game Tengoku interview also. Honestly, he gets a bad rep on GAF for some of the stuff he says, but he's been involved in some solid games in the last couple of gens. I totally enjoyed Onimusha, Dead Rising and Lost Planet.

I liked a lot of the games he produced in the old Capcom days too, I just hope he still has it in him to make cool stuff outside of Capcom. The real question would be who the developers are and whether Sony is giving him enough of a budget to make a game which doesn't feel cheap.

But it has a leveling system!

I guess that would make COD an RPG. Too true.

CoD does have RPGs in it...

[Luigiv]

All the same to me. Who died and made you God. Just let people have their fun. :P

No one had to die, I've always been god. :P

Anyway, I'm not telling people how to think just having my own fun by venting my amusement of how others are reacting.

If anything I was actually trying to encourage more speculation by pointing out that people are pigeon-holing themselves with their biases.

Well actually I guess I also was trying to temper the expectations of those who have already gone into full hype "D4Y-0N3!!!!11!!1" mode over just this little teaser. They can at least save themselves for the actual unveiling. It's always tragic to see a respectable poster decline into a state of extreme disappointment then shit up the board with overzealous whining because they couldn't keep their hype in check. :,(

Then you know nothing about how hype works. It is the hype itself that is fun.

The unveiling is in 2 days, and by tomorrow Famitsu will already reveal a good amount of information for the game. If people want to go wild with speculation and unrealistic expectations, I say let them. It's more fun this way. It's not like we're going to have a drawn out wait while something counts down for weeks this time. :P

I'd like to believe that Sony knows they need a hit here and are putting the necessary amount of money in.

Especially since they were talking about the high quality visuals or something back when they first announced the existence of the game.

And I too hope that Inafune still has it in him. He's produced some rock solid stuff.

[RooMHM]

CoD does have RPGs in it...

Well the main gameplay/the basics are FPS. Same for Mass Effect which is a a TPS.

Finally an RPG I can get behind. No stupid anime characters with girl hair and zippers everywhere.

I think you missed the joke. :p

[Mondriaan]

That's a pretty stupid comment to be honest... Especially considering what DS tries to achieve with its co-op is something that nobody would care for in MH. The goals are totally different. (I never understood why MH gets compared to DS so much btw, they have almost nothing in common)

What would be the difference in my goals if I'm joining the first open city/room in MH and if I make myself summonable as a soul in DS? If I'm calling an online coop system seamless, it's going to based on how little it breaks immersion for me to join in some coop gaming.

(There's almost no similarity other than huge bosses in a fantasy setting that have exploitable patterns, not letting equipment overcome fighting poorly, fights that put emphasis on not getting hit rather than making equipment that lets you soak up damage, and coop play with 3 other people)

Seems like they have a marketing budget at least.

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the part where the character slides across the ground all vanquish-like toward the monster.

I'm by no means implying its Inafune or even Mikami (lulz), just that I found it to be interesting. I also think the guys arm turned into a sword on that one snip. So far so good though. Digging the art style from what I can see and the monsters look like some outrageous fun.

Edit: if this turns out to be 2014 when it hits the states then I will be severely disappointed in Japan studio. Hopefully it's the same timing that demons souls had with it's US realease, as well as Gravity Rush.

[Kyoufu]

Yeah I checked the Famitsu page. They're playing up the creator by teasing that there will be comments in the mag from the executive director and conceptor. They also mention that the creator has worked on many major titles in the past. Inafune confirmed. :P

Should I be excited?

[toleoring]

It looks more of a Bayonetta/DMC feel than souls games to me..

Hype!Hype!Hype!

[The_Darkest_Red]

That would be a pretty big disappointment to me, personally. I really want a meaty action RPG for my Vita.

Well they've already said it's an action game. They never promised a RPG...

[ironcreed]

Looks like it could end up being something I would really dig. Too bad I am not fond of the handheld thing.

[miladesn]

"True Fantasy"

maybe Level-5 is the developer!

[The_Darkest_Red]

Well they've already said it's an action game. They never promised a RPG...

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. In that case I'll just irrationally hype myself up under the belief that the action they referred to is just the action part of action RPG. :)

In all seriousness though I'd be interested in a straight up action game as well if it's well done.

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Not their style.

[Kyoufu]

Not their style.

He's not serious.

[michaelius]

I'd say that distance from God Eater Burst to action jRPG is very very tiny ;)

[Lord-Audie]

True Fantasy Online.

Get it right :P

[Arxisz]

True Fantasy Online. Get it right :P

True Fantasy Live Online.

[kyubajin]

Monster Souls: The revengeance (against Capcpom)

[cyborg009]

Anyone notice the cat?

[Kyoufu]

So this could be Inafune directing and SCEJ producing? Maybe the same people who worked on Demon's Souls (SCEJ's Takeshi Kajii was the producer).

Interesting. Can't wait to see it on the 10th.

[KennyLinder]

Anyone notice the cat?

Is it the cat from the Forest Hunters covenant?

[BruceLeeRoy]

Looks great. 2 days baby!

[Elios83]

Looks like Monster Hunter and Dark Souls have met. If it's good and marketed well this could be a big title.

[thetrin]

Please be multiplayer focused, please be multiplayer focused, please be multiplayer focused...

[Ravage]

Keeping my hype in check but damn does it look good

[eLZhi]

Anyone notice the cat?

No, where?

[cyborg009]

No, where?

Looks great so far. Let's see if it's MonHunXSouls

[eLZhi]

here

OK, yeah then. I thought it kind of looked like a cat, but wasn't too sure. It's like Jaba the Hut meets the Cheshire Cat.

[lunchwithyuzo]

Is Comcept a full developer or just a planning studio (a la Mistwalker, Flagship, Armor Project, etc)? If the latter I wonder who the code house will be?

[DarkSoul520]

Monster Hunter with a dark, gothic vibe? I'm in.
As I said before, those monster designs look great. Can't wait for the full reveal.

[Yjynx]

LOL that's um you know...? Anyway as a cat lover I salute you.

Please be multiplayer focused, please be multiplayer focused, please be multiplayer focused...

Please have good story mode and single player, please have good story mode and single player....

Where the hell do you guys even find other handheld owners to play multi with them ? I generally see around 1 person per month with psp/ds

That's a cat?

There's this thing called the internet. Using magic, it's possible to play with people nowhere near you, provided they have the handheld you do and this thing called "wi-fi."

[Toma]

That's a cat?

Pointy ears and pupils, plus whiskers. Yeah, I'd say its inspired by cats too.

[cyborg009]

OK, yeah then. I thought it kind of looked like a cat, but wasn't too sure. It's like Jaba the Hut meets the Cheshire Cat.

now that you mention it does, expect the second mouth and face on it body

[Emitan]

Those brief snippets of gameplay looked cool. Keeping my eye on this.

[eLZhi]

now that you mention it does, expect the second mouth and face on it body

Oh wow, I didn't catch that. Good eye! I'm not sure if that's another mouth, but there's definitely another face next to it.

[theBishop]

Based on the rumors, I'm guessing Inafune as director/concepter with members of Team Siren doing the heavy lifting. Maybe expats from Team Ico. It's hard to see from the outside how Japan Studio is organized.

[OmegaZero]

Well, inspired by a cat is one thing.
Being a cat is something else.

Either way, the designs look pretty cool. Can't wait to see clearer gameplay footage.
