Looks pretty sweet. Interested to see more.
I guess that's true, and even if it played the same, it doesn't mean they couldn't make both, they're very different visually, and thematically no doubt. Just seems odd to me.They can do both. Having seen only the trailer. if it ends being an action hunting game it looks and probably plays completely different from Soul Sacrifice.
Looks interesting, I imagine it's for Vita, strange though, certainly looks to evoke MonHun, and if so, why SS? Are they not going to iterate on it? That seems short sighted.
It's like saying they have Killzone so no more FPS is needed from them (or they have GT so why make DriveClub?)
Of course a game company can produce more than one game to the same genre
Well I would argue Sony shouldn't be making a second major shooter franchise, Resistance was a mess, and was always compared negatively to Killzone, and Sony ended the franchise, and MS are wise enough not to have a rival to Halo made internally.It's like saying they have Killzone so no more FPS is needed from them (or they have GT so why make DriveClub?)

woah I LOVE the music...art style is good...that setting is very interesting..a countdown on everyone, alternative reality? setting is very intriguing
I want to see gameplay and hopefully this is for vita. (could be anything really..I mean are we really going to call every game with a big boss to fight with group members a hunting game? :S)
And I HOPE you can actually ride a mecha beast in the actual game too..would be badass
Have to say since the new guy took over SCEJ, they have been pumping out some really cool stuff at much faster rate than before. Good to see

Secondly, I don't think GT and DriveClub is an apt comparison. One's a track sim, one's not. It would be more like if Sony made Gran Turismo and Forza, and I would suggest they not do that too.
I also think it's a bad idea because of platform library diversity. Lots of reasons really.
You don't know what this game is, so you can't possibly know how different it is to SS.That's where I disagree with actually. People (ones not interested) generalize arena-based cooperative boss battle genre too much...

I didn't dismiss it, so I don't see why you're telling me.And neither does anyone else, which is why it is frustrating to some like me that people are dismissing this so fast off of a CG trailer.
I find it fascinating that SCEJ's output is getting better after a Westerner took over and brought in Western talent to head projects. Both Knack and Puppeteer are led by western people. Is the talent pool in Japan drying up that badly? I suppose there is a noticeable lack of fostering young developers over there, as evident by the lack of a good indie scene. What are teens going into? Engineering and accounting instead?
Their website told me they have over 400 people.
Fuck Yeah!
I hope this is single player JRPG! And Vita exclusive.

This probably looks more like Phantasy Star Online.

Well, we'll see, I don't think anyone is going to write off a game before we know anything at all.Lol, it wasn't directed towards you, just more or less agreeing and reaffirming what you were saying.
You don't know how it would be same to SS either
Well, I just made an assumption that it's more like God Eater (at this point I think it will be likely, though I maybe wrong).
Those are just two games though. This game alone looks cooler than both the games you mentioned. All these games are still Japanese developed.
I'm comparing these two years before they both had a young handheld, an aging home console, and a successor in the immediate future. Their output has decline dramatically.
Haven't you heard bro? All SCEJ pumps out now are MH clones to compete with MonHon. There's no chance this is a different game altogether!
If anything SCEJ's output has worsened:

But their quality is much higher.
Quality>quantity.
Also, how many of those were just published by SCEJ?
What do you mean published? I listed no localizations in that post, but I did use collaborations. If I didn't their 2013 lineup would be dire:
Puppeteer
The Last Guardian (?)
Knack (?)
I left Panopticon off that list since we don't know if it's an internal project yet.

same day as the next Xbox reveal. SCEJ sure has a lot of balls
Gotcha. I meant it more in a support manner or even just straight up hey we will fund/publish this for you. Like Bomberman for instance, was curious in what manner they were involved if at all.
Looks like another Monster Hunter clone. How disappointing.
For Microsoft employees, the day they unveiled the new Xbox was one of the most important days of their lives. But for Japan ... it was Tuesday.

... Or they couldn't care less. This teaser and the announcement of the game was geared towards people living in Japan in the first place.
Definitely too many story elements going on for it to be a straight MH clone. Also, those look like actual characters instead of the more generic ones of the MH genre.
Hopefully for Vita. Really digging the overall design sense for this one.
