Namco announces Code Vein (UE4, console, 2018), ARPG from God Eater team [Up: Art]
- Thread starter DKHF
- Start date
But is it really coop though? It seems to me that you just have an AI partner.

Same, with a Steam release following when the game releases in the West.
I'm expecting PS4/Xbox/PC to be announced tomorrow, then a belated Switch announcement around TGS when Bamco realise how many units the device is selling.
The initial translated information I read included something about coop.
If it doesn't have that then it's a massive missed opportunity, and it will make it much harder to get a sizeable fraction of the Souls fanbase to buy the game. (Which seems to be the goal here)

The cover looked funny but the screenshots look good.
This reminds me that I need to finish God Eater 2.

Coop definitely was mentioned somewhere.
I've said this before, but I assume it works similar to how it does in God Eater, just with only 1 'slot'.
In God Eater you have AI partners you can take with you, or other players, or a combination of AI partners and other players.
If only this happened in Dragon's Dogma...
I don't think this will be announced for PC since I think it was said that the game is coming to 'console'.
I'm expecting either just PS4 or PS4/Switch.

They would be stupid to not have Coop. Even God Eater 2 their previous game has online Coop. No way they go backwards. That would be Dragon's Dogma levels of stupidity.
They said they will show gameplay in may at least.
This would be really surprising since the God Eater games are on PC now. Even more so since Bamco is targeting that audience more recently as well.
Have you followed what Namco Bandai have been doing lately?
Nah, the same thing happened with Etryian Odyssey 5 and The Great Ace Attorney 2.
The fact that Nintendo had a Direct last week should be enough to tell you this probably isn't a Switch game.
Worst case scenario "Guys, we're happy to announce our new Game, it's going to be awesome. please wait until May for more details including platforms and gameplay"
Awesome music.

Please be like souls games.
I hate the hunter style games like monster hunter, god eater, etc. just not for me.

I'm not saying it's not coming to PC, but it will not come out at the same time as the console versions.
I just don't see PC version getting announced this early. I think it will eventually come out.
Tell that to Tekken 7.
Or Ace Combat 7 and Ni no Kuni 2.
Again, have you been following what Namco Bandai have been doing lately?
Both franchises this is related with (God Eater and Dark Souls) get simultaneous PC releases (in the West of course). So I really don't see any reason to believe this won't, doubly so since it's UE4. Unless you are just talking about the Japanese release.
Or Tales of Zestiria or Tales of Berseria.
I am just talking about Japanese release.
When something is announced as a "console" game when it comes to business aspects, it's just a way to separate it from mobile or handheld gaming, it doesn't mean literally "only on consoles." It is a way to imply aspects (designed around controllers, HD visuals, maybe bigger budgets, etc) without commiting to specifics
Yeah they don't. I'm starting to think this is just Bandai Namco in-house stuff with the God Eater leads. Which is cool, too I guess.
It's kind of funny in a way. Bandai Namco leads work with Shift to make God Eater. Shift leads work with Sony and Dimps to make Freedom Wars. Bandai Namco leads work with uh, Bandai Namco to make this. Cool beans all around.
That'd be the same reaction if the game was coming to vita.
Actually it tends not to disqualify handheld games either.

There should be more tampons in gaming
Yea I just looked at the screens and this game looks very nice aesthetically! The weapons look awesome, the buddy system reminds me of the pawns from Dragon's Dogma so it's good to see a game expanding or being inspired by ideas that Capcom seems unwilling to concern themselves with.
The mag.
Lol
Way more likely, you are right
Having Switch announced right out of the door would be a clear change in third party relationship for Nintendo
BTW game looks cool anyway. PS4 is a lock so I will look closely to it in any case
Hey, this reminds me of the Lily Bergamo to Let it Die transition a little bit
Well that is disappointing in a number of ways

If you announce a game without even comitting to a single platform you don't even have my curiosity. Try again in the future.

Animesouls going to be interesting sales wise.
Still once the game is good i can see people giving a try even with it's art style.

Maybe this game being released in 2018 is an indicator that we shouldn't be expecting a new Souls game for a few years considering that Bandai-Namco publishes those and likely wouldn't want to cannibalize sales of this smaller property. Hopefully that means we get a re-envisioned Armored Core...please God!

Personally I think it would be more impressive if that entire game was like the teaser art style.
