"The World" Special Edition

 

[Data West]

Just what we need. More fighting games and less console rpgs.

 

[panty]

Platform, PS3/360?

 

[kenji]

Just what we need. More fighting games and less console rpgs.

nobody cared about .hack on PS2 and PSP, and nobody would have done that now

this game is awesome!

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Sora looks so....
ugly.


I would rather have a new RPG like the G.U.-Series than a fighting-game...

 

[Man God]

Platform, PS3/360?

BLU RAY COMBO PACK.

also those character models are ugly as hell.

Well... there could also be a DVD Combo Pack....

*pats on back* It's PlayStation 3.

 

[Kunan]

Who asked for this? Like really, wtf is the demand for this game? WHY ARE THERE NO JRPGS ANYMORE?

 

[Khrno]

Those graphics are fantastic, too bad I'm not into fighting games.

Just what we need. More fighting games and less console rpgs.

Console or portables, doesn't matter, we need more .hack RPGs.

 

[Data West]

Oh hey, another game that ends in Versus that will come out before Final Fantasy :')

 

[LongDongJunon]

OOOOOOVAAAAAAAAAN

 

[panty]

*pats on back* It's PlayStation 3.

I don't mind a bit, PS3 is my #1 :b

 

[dakkumauji]

That Sora looks quite ugly. :[

 

[Midou]

Just what we need. More fighting games and less console rpgs.

Well, rather them making these than naruto fighting games, least I give a shit about .hack

.hack//GU looked so awesome on PS2, I could only imagine how good a current-gen .hack RPG could have looked, I guess this is closest we'll get to.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Looks like they needed the funding. And when Namco needs a new fighting game, they know who to call.

Not.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Everyone else seems cool but holy crap does Kite look creepy in that 3rd screen.

Will buy, though. I love me some CC2.

 

[Urban Scholar]

So is this Sora a youngman or a young lady? I really can't tell.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Yeah, Kite gives me the runs here. He's too cute for me. And he was already fine before, so why change him?

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Oh hey, another game that ends in Versus that will come out before Final Fantasy :')

Oh snaps.

 

[kenji]

That's not Kite, she's Sora, the main character of the CG movie

 

[Meccanical]

She?

 

[zlatko]

I still think this game LOOKS amazing. I love the art style.

Interested to see what kind of production values and balancing is put into this. If they go full balls to thew alls in terms of roster, balancing it like a proper 3D fighter, great online net code, etc then I'd be down as fuck to play this.

Digging that Hand to hand cloaked fighter they showed a lot.

 

[kenji]

She?

yes, the main character is a girl in real life

 

[Jocchan]

Long haired Destroyman?

 

[Urban Scholar]

Long haired Destroyman?

Can't unsee now

 

[sixteen-bit]

Hope it's got more depth than their Naruto games

 

[raven777]

Maybe its because of the how box is set up, but the picture of Haseo on the left box is very weird.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

That's not Kite, she's Sora, the main character of the CG movie.

Ah, my error.

Still creepy looking.

 

[raven777]

Hope it's got more depth than their Naruto games

Don't expect too much from a hybrid pack game. Although its not same developer, the games on hybrid pack for Macross F the movie was terrible.

It would be amazing if we even had more than 10 characters.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

If it were something more creative like a Senko no Ronde-type game or something... that could be kinda cool.

I do like the colorfulness and crazy shit everywhere.

 

[kenji]

I hope there's the possibility to use the Avatars like in the G.U. games

also, why are they hiding Tokio? he's like the worst character of the entire series

 

[salromano]

[PigSpeakers]

yes, the main character is a girl in real life

Whaaaat? I guess this is what I get for never beating the first game.

 

[I should be doing hw]

So a reskinned Naruto: UNS is what this is basically. How about making an RPG with that engine instead of ok fighting games, CC2?

 

[Kajiba]

Very colorful. CC2 Is so good with colors.

 

[Ken]

Will there be a playable grunty?

 

[Kincaido]

I need to see more before I consider this....

Also, why do they insist on using the same "characters" over and over? Surely they can come up with some new character designs.

 

[Hitlersaurus Christ]

Whaaaat? I guess this is what I get for never beating the first game.

This is a completely different character, but with the same character "model." This movie/game takes place 15 years later with an all new cast.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Up until now, the games included in all these recent hybrid packs have been pretty paper thin gameplay experiences. I wouldn't expect too much from this.

 

[Respawn]

Looks amazing. Hope for a U.S version

 

[Darackutny]

Who asked for this? Like really, wtf is the demand for this game? WHY ARE THERE NO JRPGS ANYMORE?

qft

=(

At least I have a reason not to get a copy of Asura's Wrath now. I was initially going to out of support for Matsuyama.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Not liking Sora that much since her character model is based off Kite. It comes out in 3 months, but there is no gameplay footage? Namco needs to put out a demo or something.

 

[May16]

Who asked for this? Like really, wtf is the demand for this game? WHY ARE THERE NO JRPGS ANYMORE?

It's OK bro, Ni no Kuni is coming. Heals all wounds.

 

[d0c_zaius]

I will buy this product.

 

[kenji]

Whaaaat? I guess this is what I get for never beating the first game.

nooo, Kite is a guy, Sora is a girl with just Kite's avatar in the game

the trailer was fantastic *_*

 

[Zekes!]

brings back memories of watching my ex-girlfriend play through the G.U. trilogy

 

[Chairmanchuck]

I wish I could run around through Mac Anu in a JRPG...

[Noirulus]

So it's a fighting game? What a waste of nice art...
