CyberConnect2 working on 3 new next gen titles

From this article.

The bigger key words(photorealistic, Unreal Engine 4, RPG, world wide, And physics-based rendering) are for the first title with the medium one (Open World) for the second one and the small one (VR) for the third, all are new titles for next gen.

They also are changing their development plans, originally being 50/50 for both console and mobile, but are now switching 7 to 3 in favor of Consoles.

Hmm...

• .//HACK.The Next One

• Don't care

• The World (definitely probably not)

Seriously, though, I want a new .//HACK something. Quantum just reminded me how much I liked the series.

Photorealistic .Hack would definitely be different looking from its predecessors, if so.

Shhh. Just let me want this.

Though, really, Cyber Connect 2 isn't a studio I think of when I think of high-end graphics. Meticulous detail? Yes. Hell yes. JJBA:ASB had stupid amounts of detail. Just, not in the "photorealistic" direction. That's odd and I don't know what to expect.

Really though, there's not much to say. Without any details beyond ambiguous buzz-words, there's not much to talk about.

This interview states that the Three new projects are all new IPs.

welp there goes my dreams

Eh, they already stated last year they would be doing more Dot Hack.

Just that none of the 3 new projects are related to it.

Well, goodbye Asura's Wrath 2. I really wanted to know what happened to Asura and Akuma.

Interest (temporarily) gone.
Vague teasing only sells me stuff I'm already familiar with.
I'm at least going to need art before I can care about these.

And here I thought people were upset with the lack of new I Ps in the industry.

Yeah, it's not like Cyberconnect2 should only pander fans of their of their existing products and not make something new, am I right? On the other hand, nice to see so many Japanese developers and entertainers love the guys there, including Katsuhiro Harada.

eh i was more toungue in cheek anyway i'm not even that big a fan of .hack anymore

>inb4 more anime games

Considering they have over 12,000 volumes of manga and movies on a shelf to take inspiration from....

On the other hand, their first project is supposed to be different form of "Anime Expression" then they have done in the past, while simultaneously being Photo Realistic.

I like new IPs. I just can't get excited over nothing but buzzwords.
