Apparently Idea Factory and Sting have formed a new company called Super Sting. The first title will be a fantasy SRPG due in June.

Wut? Errr.... wut?

Edit:

It's official: http://www.ideaf.co.jp/news/2012/0322/

Super Sting is a new game brand collaboration between Idea Factory and Sting. The first game coming out in June is a fantasy SRPG from Idea Factory. Details about the game will be revealed on March 29.

Well, that's too bad.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

What?

I mean...what?

This is the most bizarre combination of all time.

Are we going to get otome SRPGs out of this? Please say yes.

I wish it were made up.

 

[Rahxephon91]

Well that sucks for Sting.

 

[Tenbatsu]

Super Stink nice name.

 

[LegatoB]

Damn shame. I'm really going to miss Sting.

 

[pieatorium]

RoooooooooooooxAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNE

 

[ShockingAlberto]

This will make ignoring both of them much more efficient.

 

[kiryogi]

This. . . really sucks.

 

[johnsmith]

Is this an actual merger or just a collaboration?

 

[XANDER CAGE]

RoooooooooooooxAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNE

This is as close as I can find.

 

[scy]

Can we add a few more companies and see what Voltron-esque beast comes forth from it?

 

[Nairume]

It's a pity that Sting is probably going to come out the worse for this than Idea Factory coming out better.

 

[dakkumauji]

I really can't imagine this Super Sting will be better than normal Sting.

 

[icecream]

Is this an actual merger or just a collaboration?

A collaboration, or possibly even a joint venture.

The real crime is Sting wasting their time developing something with Ideaf when they could be off doing more awesome things by themselves.

 

[Emitan]

I've only played Riviera. It's okay so far, Yggrda Union looks cool.

 

[Sviatoslav]

So looks like we have a new Japanese video game powerhouse now.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Well that sucks for Sting.

Yeah, downgrade total.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

I really can't imagine this Super Sting will be better than normal Sting.

Will wait for Super Sting HD Remix

 

[Man God]

I don't care so long as I got Super Dokapon out of the deal.

That would be super.

 

[Nairume]

I don't care so long as I got Super Dokapon out of the deal.

That would be super.

We'll get it, but it will be full of really shitty gimmicks, half-assed dating sim elements, and crafting systems that only the most hardcore JRPG nerds could even begin to parse.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Should have named the new company Super Asia.

 

[djplaeskool]

Oh boy IdeaFuckFactory! here we go.

 

[Einhander]

This is the only Super Sting that I recognize.

A 3DS or PSV SRPG would be nice.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Super Sting Fighter

 

[Shouta]

Anything idea Factory is a waste of time, even with Sting involved.

 

[Man God]

Should have named the new company Super Asia.

First they would have to master North, South, West, and Center.

 

[Drkirby]

Does the name sound better in Japanese?

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Does the name sound better in Japanese?

It's terrible in both languages. Just like their games!

 

[inner-G]

Does the name sound better in Japanese?

Supa Stingu

 

[Sqorgar]

They need to merge with a company called Interest, and they can be Super Interest Sting, a company with a name made of pure sarcasm.

 

[ixix]

A fantasy SRPG? I'm glad to see that they're taking this opportunity to branch out from their respective genre comfort zones.

 

[ActStriker]

Sting

 

[vireland]

Super Stink nice name.

Okay, that's funny right there.

 

[Busaiku]

Does the name sound better in Japanese?

Suupaah Sutingu!

 

[Verelios]

Oh noesss! uguuu~<3

I approve.

 

[Defuser]

Of all the companies why Idea Factory?

 

[Femmeworth]

 

[jj984jj]

NOOOOOO!!

 

[Aru]

This.

Sad news Sting is an awesome developer.

 

[Karsticles]

I'm glad there's so much Sting love on this website.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Well, there goes the neighborhood.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Well, they both enjoy filling their RPGs with obtuse mechanics.

 

[GhaleonQ]

super hardcore + super populist = super-sad GhaleonQ

 

[Dash Kappei]

So stingy :/

 

[chickdigger802]

Sounds like some sentai/rider form.

 

[Absoludacrous]

Damn it Sting, what are you doing

 

[tetrisgrammaton]

Sad sad sad.
