How can a game called Freedom Wars not come to the United States of AMERICA?
Did i miss something?
Lol, I was going to say the same. Except for the ground textures it looks great to me as well.
Light Yagami finally pays for his sins!
Shitty? For a handheld? I agree that the terrain is not great but please do not exaggerate!This seems to confirm that shit pic in the official site is also a gameplay screen:
If that is shitty than how do you call monster hunter 4?

Just watched the trailer, it seems like it is similar to Gods Eater Burst. Was this confirmed to not be coming overseas or am I missing something?
Didn't SCE Europe already trademark this also?
It's a shitty pic because it's cropped, low-res, and has text slapped over it. What do you think I meant?

I think he thought you meant that the game itself looked bad.
It's quite sad that it has become like semi-standard to slap huge text for dystopian themed games, or anime.
Thanks to Evangelion
Looks good, but I'm a bit less interested because it's a hunting game. The multiplayer/near integration sounds cool though.
Sounds like a COD spinoff title for the Vita.

That trailer got me interested so I can't wait until they start revealing more stuff for it, I'll keep an ear out for this.

Looks very cool. Hope it comes to the states.
Sorry i misunderstood! Lol
The male character is showing more skin than the female? Is this opposite world?

I like what I see, except for the wings on that creature. Could have used a better texture methinks, but I probably won't care when the game is in motion.
I think the color is a matter of lighting rather than the texture. The bright color is simply the light coming from the laser blast in that pic.

Speaking of more shitty pics on the official site (why can't they just do proper direct feed stuff instead of this? lol), I don't think this is a gameplay screen:
But some of these might be, hard to tell:
Its funny in the famitsu they had marked the pictures of which was from the CG trailer and which were "not" lol

I may have missed something, but didn't Japan Studio help develop Soul Sacrifice?
More games like Soul Sacrifice is never bad.

With the new pics Im starting to wonder if its still going to be the same general 4 human player formula, though the catch is, each player also has the accessory android with them which makes it appear as if there are 8 players. If so really do hope that SCEJ is investing a good amount of cash on the AI for the friendly characters.
No, it's a 8 player game, the only question is whether there are 8 players in co-op, or if its 4 player in co-op and 4v4 in versus. The accessories are just partners, they definitely don't count towards the number of actual players.

Why would a 4+ player monster hunting game be anything else?

The single screen shot we have of what appeared to be the VS part of the game did look like 4vs4.
Was hoping for some 8 player co-op instead though, but have doubts about that. All of the shots in the famitsu for the PVE stuff looks to be 4 players + the accessory partners. Was just flipping through the magazine here at the desk.

God's had his chance.
Rocket swords!!!!
Really digging the style they are going for. I would definitely get into playing something like SoulSacrifice with guns instead of big leafy hands. Score.
quick question - was GodEater good ? and did it release in the states? really need to fill out my vita roster.

I enjoyed God Eater quite a bit. Plus the fact it has an actual story with NPC characters that are not dumb as shit + useless unlike Soul Sacrifice.
It takes a bit getting used to though. The later missions are also pretty brutal so be ready for that lol The combat system isnt as deep as monster hunter for example, but it is enjoyable and battles can be pretty fast paced.
It did come out in the US also.

I'm hoping for more chaos to be honest! Make it like full on action, less standing around and waving to your enemies
But yeah it doesn't look like it's going to be slower...That would be cool, even if it was just a wing colour change, mid-effect. The ground doesn't seem affected or anything else though but yeah it seemed odd when the purple was so much better. It looks so flat as well. I know handheld game and all but still, the rest looks decent while that looks something from many gens ago.
I could have sworn I counted more than 4 people attacking a single enemy, even in that dragon shot it looks like 6 I think. Not sure if that's just the arrangement for the screens or for early advertising/sp missions or whatever. Guess we'll have to wait for confirmation but 4v4 sounds like it could lots of fun! (I'm remembering some early guild wars games). Probably best not to hope for that though.

The extras that you are seeing are most likely the androids. In the famitsu magazine Ive only counted 4 player types at the most in all of the shots showed off with the large monster. The players seemed to be the ones with the headphones on in the picture with the androids being dressed like the one everyone saw in the trailer.

Duckroll you think this is going to be more PSO rather than the whole "Monster Hunter" type of game?
in the sense of a dungeon type of field where you have all sorts of quests / objectives to perform which then leads up to the big boss fight at the end?
Thats kinda the vibe Im getting
Ah I sneak edited in that it might be for the single player (which would be cool if there actually was a decent emphasis on that. Just extra bots to support you would be alright too I guess). That is interesting about the android/headphone distinction idea as well. It makes some sense I guess too although a bit strange that only the guys have headphones and the girls/bots don't? From what I saw anyway:
endless said:
Also 8 players in a single area sounds a bit too much but if it's 4v4 it's the same thing effectively I guess? Maybe without the monsters it's more doable..
They're teasing it so early, it's pretty painful.
I don't think it's going to be like PSO, but it's probably designed to be more of an objective-driven multiplayer action game. Your character can use the grapple to move using walls and ceilings apparently, and individual parts of the large monsters can be destroyed. I don't really see how it's going to be that different from what people expect from a "Monhun game" in terms of general concept, but the mechanics will probably be more varied - like Soul Sacrifice is.

The enemy designs are very, very cool.
That's a big part of the appeal of these games for me.

Other reason why I had thought the PSO bit was granted it was from the VS mode, but they were in a room which appeared to have doors in the middle of them. Which gave the idea of potentially locked rooms till enemies / other players are cleared like with the original PSO game for example and the simple dungeon design.

Aren't the female characters your "accessories"? They are with you on missions, so maybe that is why it looks like so many people on screen. I have a feeling that the 8 player co-op might actually mean 4 real players, and 4 accessories.
Parakeetman

No the accessory shown off in the pics just happens to be a female one. Since in the famitsu they listed "Female" next to the name Accessory gives the intention that you will be able to pick a gender for it in the real version, besides editing the appearance.
Same should go for the character that you play as. Since its listed as "male" next to the artwork.
