It's a high-end console game made by Cygames Osaka, who Cygames established for PS4 development. Waiting for the trailer to be posted. No more real details.

Trailer (stream-recorded, eh quality) - https://youtu.be/pAcD9xISxFA

So they have two separate console(which just means PS4 IMO) games in development?

That's interesting.

DMONKUMA · Aug 21, 2016

edit:Hmmm

Not really familiar with cygames and since we don't know what genre this particular game will be....I don't feel anything much from it especially if it's a far off game.....fuck those things.

kuroneko0509 · Aug 21, 2016

woops was about to make a thread lol

Acquiescence · Aug 21, 2016

Smartphones aren't involved, Platinum isn't involved, so maybe this is something I can be interested in.

Squire · Aug 21, 2016

If they're making this, I suspect Platinum's Granblue might have a limited budget.

Hmm.

Megawarrior · Aug 21, 2016

Thanks Sal. I remember you posting about the PS4 studio a long time ago.

Dizzy-4U · Aug 21, 2016

Kinda feels like Valkyrie Profile to me going by those screenshots.

Dovahking · Aug 21, 2016

Maybe we'll see them at TGS ?

kadotsu · Aug 21, 2016

I'll simply enjoy the small window of the biggest mobage devs trying to grow by releasing high budget, premium games because it sure as shit isn't going to last.

Zedark · Aug 21, 2016

Intrigued by the teaser image, do we know when a trailer will be posted?

kuroneko0509 · Aug 21, 2016

I wonder which game is far ahead in completion, this or that granblue rpg

Zedark said:

no idea. considering other trailers are directly posted when they were announced/revealed, I guess the teaser won't be uploaded this soon.

I do appreciate the effort in trying to expand in a shrinking Japanese market. But yeaaaa best we appreciate it while we can lol.

FelipeMGM · Aug 21, 2016

Isnt it weird that they are not listing the platforms of any of these games?

What if they are all for NX?

I need to get back to Granblue. I've only played a few chapters but I really liked what I played.

The Cygames Next event was great. I had high hopes and we got two HD titles out of it, pretty good for a mobile dev~

Nah, they opened the Osaka studio to make a PS4 game, and their Osaka recruitment page has PS4 in the URL and on the page: https://www.cygames.co.jp/recruit/osaka_ps4/

Premium games outlast mobage, in Japan?

They're implying (I think) that their console efforts won't last.

Well considering you watch more staff rolls than virtually anyone on GAF you should be asking yourself ;p

Yeah, I know, Im just joking with this weird fact that they are not listing platforms even though its pretty clear this and the Granblue game are PS4 titles (and maybe PC)

Well, I'd hope there are others who do the same with their favorite developers or something (like Kyoto Report etc.). Really wish Mobygame were more usable than it is. ;(

I searched for a few of their names, the most notable seems to be Junji Tago. He was the technical director of Fox Engine. His linkedin notes that he was the director through the entire development of it, and he also developed the core systems and AI.

Philippo · Aug 21, 2016

Any idea of which genre?

I'd welcome another AAA JRPG.

Here's my stream-recorded version of the trailer. Blame Niconico for quality: https://youtu.be/pAcD9xISxFA

diaspora · Aug 21, 2016

If it's high end it needs a PC sku or its not really high end.

Possumowner · Aug 21, 2016

Hmm interesting...high end console,so Ps4 neo and NX.

More seriously just ps4

Its a cool teaser. Hope we can see a full trailer or get more info about it at TGS

killatopak · Aug 21, 2016

wat. how many games are they making?

Aizo · Aug 21, 2016

I run into a girl at the laundromat sometimes that works for Cygames. I should ask her about this. Must be why she said August was really busy for their company.

announced in the stream is 5, unless that Uma Musume also getting a game?

Koichi Watanabe was the director of 3D Dot Heroes at Silicon Studios before Cygames was founded. He's currently the president of Cygames so I guess he's producing and/or directing this.

Ryosuke Aiba is an ex-Square-Enix artist who worked with Yoshida. Like Yoshida, he has also joined CyDesignation. With Minaba workiing on Granblue and Yoshida working on Lost Order, Aiba is probably the character designer for this game.

mejin · Aug 21, 2016

Nice!

Hope they have plans for localization.

The title literally states "High-end console game".

dramatis · Aug 21, 2016

Concept looks intriguing, but the character design doesn't.

Dark_castle · Aug 21, 2016

Why don't Matsuno work on this instead?

Console refers to not mobile. PC in Japan doesn't refer to PC but browser or mobage. While console refers to PC/Console.

Is this not related to the recently announced mobile game?

Considering how this game is for the most part aimed at the Japanese audience, I have very little doubt that the PS4 version is the lead platform. It might get a PC port if it somehow makes it to the west but I'm not expecting it to be that much more "high-end" beyond the usual PC bells and whistles.

Elfforkusu · Aug 21, 2016

If it's for PS4, why not say it's for PS4?

Sees odd to not mention the console -- unless they can't, because said console hasn't been formally announced yet...
