We've eventually got guns in .hack which is pretty cool.

Still wish they'd stop using the same character designs though.

That's right folks, Crapcom is about to get ripped a new one with the REAL mashup fightan game of the year.

The new game is titled .hack//VERSUS, and since Haseo is in it with the new movie protags, this obviously means older protags and brotags are in it as well.

I can't tell if this one's a screenshot or a portrait, but the graphics are seriously close to this beautiful.

I swear to god, I was just wishing for a mashup game like this a few weeks ago, and since then I've had no clue we were about to hit jackpot with this release.

This is really happening.

How often do JRPGs get turned into fighting games? What would a .hack x Final Fantasy game be like if this succeeds?

It would fucking cross the line, that's what.

This still made by CyberConnect2?

>CyberConnect2 will never stop making shallow naruto games and make a game of your favorite anime
;_;

>Gradient rectangle life bars

This shouldn't bother me as much as it does.

isn't the movie out soon or has it already been released and I forgot?

>>63087438
Yes it is.

If this works, I'm sure they're going to pick more things up anon. CC2 invaded Crapcom for the fightan game experience under the guise of making Asura's Wrath, but they were really playing for this outcome all along.

Here's a photo of the new antagonist (or perhaps villain) vs Sora. It's rumored to be Tokio, from //LINK, but no confirmations are out yet.

>>63087438
>shallow Naruto games

Those games are fun as fuck and the .hack games were never highly polished RPGs to begin with despite the interesting premise

>>63087490
The blurays have not come out yet. The movie premiered back in January.

The game will be bundled with them. That's right, instead of being fucking attention whores about it (like a certain shitty corporate fuck out there selling you $55 DLC that's already on your goddamn disc) , Namdai has been silently working on this for probably a whole year, and is going to release this in 3 months. ;_;

We're about to get previews VERY soon, no doubt.

>>63087493

lolwut

That said, this looks really cool. Dem graphics.

And here I was, thinking this franchise died.

>>63087611
I know right

Best overdrive/limit break/whatever super move ever.

SKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

>>63087683
I'm waiting for those finishers.

Dear god I hope they start the character reveals soon

June can't fucking come any sooner

Here's something you can check out, to get an idea of how nostalgic this is going to fucking be

>haseo vs sora

This amuses me greatly.

That's it for the game screenshots. Stay tuned for more!

>>63087425

Did you forget about Dissidia?

I mean, it had a shitty plot, but it was a FANTASTIC fighter.

>>63087832

Those cross rengekis are glorious.

>>63088250
I never played Dissidia, but I'm guessing that's what Square had that resembles this.

However from the looks of it, CC2 wants a more Street Fighter IV-ish concept for it, without the shitty cartoon faces. Which is awesome.

This is relative to my interests.
Consider this game forever stalked.

>>63087832
>Saku and Bo's candy and fish sticks

Please make it to the PS3

>>63088451
>I never played Dissidia, but I'm guessing that's what Square had that resembles this.

Yeah, but it was way less conventional. Look up gameplay vids, it's pretty neat.

>>63088451

DONT EVEN.... JOKE ABOUT THAT.
I'm FUCKING tired... of everyTHIGN fighter... being a FUCKING CAPCOM ripoff.

I can't even type straight at the fuicking thought that this will turn out the same.

>>63088965
No, it definitely won't be the same. What I'm referring to is simply the premise.

Unlike their plotless games, CC2 will give us a decent story following the movie, along with a sensible arena fighter that's closer to Tekken/Asura's Wrath, going by the screenshots. View them carefully and judge for yourself.

This is definitely not SFxT. And for once, I'm actually forgiving any DLC this produces.

>>63088965

Play Dissidia.

>>63089117
Is it on PSN?

Imagine .hack//Versus x Dissidia... fuck. With how random they're becoming this is no longer a fleeting pipedream anymore.

>>63089217

Yes, and get Duodecim, it contains the entire original game and gives the whole system an update.

I'm warning you now, the plot is AWFUL. Like you won't even believe how awful it is awful.

>How often do JRPGs get turned into fighting games?
Honestly? A lot of them, recently. It's pretty much a trend for most long-running or popular series to have one.

>>63089439
oh, you

Yes!, oh gods yes. Allways been a fan. I want the movie and the game now.

IMPOSSIBRU

.hack is too good to come back. No fucking way. ;_;

>>63089536
I can only thinkg of Persona 4 and Dissidia.

What else?

>more fighting games

Oh fucking boy, it's not like there are a ton of these on the market or anything as it is.

>>63090224

You better believe it, this was announced for almost two months now

>.hack// game
There better be an anime to promote it. Don't care about the games but I like the anime.

>yfw you'll probably be able to create your own characters in The World to fight with, and even choose their weapons and classes

>>63090797
There's a movie.

>>63090847

>>63090935
It's called .hack//End of The World

It even features a grown up Aura. See >>63087225

oh god I hope she's in the Vs game

>>63090828

>you'll also be able to access different versions of The World with your customized character, and challenge people in network mode, where you can play normal matches or level up your character elsewhere and fight them in the Arena

And so, The World is finally a reality. THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN

As long as it has Alkaid I'll be happy. Though I doubt it since this game looks canon to the movie.

>>63091432
>Haseo confirmed for the game

How retarded can you get? I can at least see Atoli and Alkaid in this.

Also, there's no way Haseo is canon for the movie. It happens years later after R2. This is definitely a mashup game.

>>63091432

That's not Atoli. She makes everyone happy just by existing. ;_;

>>63091601
You're absolutely right she isn't. Alkaid is the one.

>>63091668
>>63091601
How about we have all 3, that way everybody has their happy character in it?

I'll protect you...

Haseo...

Looks beautiful, but it's basically going to play like Castlevania: Judgement. No thanks.

>>63091891
I'll only allow Atoli to be in the game if every one of her lines is

WHY WON'T YOU LOOK AT ME
NOBODY EVER LOOKS AT ME

>>63091893
>>63091963
Bitch is fucking tripping, man

>>63092046
And Alkaid's boobs have to jiggle every single time she makes a movement!

>>63091891
Love and peace is nice. We should all stop fighting! ;_;

>CC2
meh
probably a nice distraction between the actual fighting games

I just woke up with an erection. Now I see why.

>>63092374
Where the blue fuck were you.

You're always at the top of these threads, butt man. ;_;

I fucking hope they bring this to the US

I'm definitely going to get this, but... I dunno. I'm shit at fighting games. Probably won't enjoy it as much as a straight RPG.

>>63092436
OHM man, thank you. And university is a bitch.

>>63092500
i agree, i was kind of hoping this would be an RPG. Going through The World and shit, but any .hack related video game i want.

>>63092500
>not buying a dot hack game this new

>Fighting game

I'm a little disappointed, but I'm still going to buy it.

>>63092185
What the fuck at those breast physics. That just looked silly as fuck since they jiggled pretty slowly.

>>63092604

They defy gravity. Atoli's are just perfect.

>>63092185
>Alkaid

Buenos

a bloody fighting game?!?!

A BLOODY FIGHTING GAME?!?!

they should be making a (call me crazy) .hack mmo, not a stupid fighting game.

>>63092764
I don't think Namco ever has plans on making an MMO. That's a lot of time, resources and money to make an MMO and to not have it fail. The MMO market is harsh as fuck right now, they would be crazy to jump into the MMO game without some really solid ideas.

>>63092764
I agree we have way too many fighting games already, it seems like CC2 is just hopping on the bandwagon now.

Bleh. Maybe playing the P4 fighting game will help me get better.

Did I mention Atoli hijack?

>>63092892
>>63092764
>>63092889
But guys... what if fighting game that covers some (or even most) MMO concepts?

Even shitty online MMOs these days can have that confrontational element. I don't think it's possible we're getting a pure fighting game. Come on, it's .hack. There's no way it's just pure fighting.

i've always loved the mangas, but never had the cash/willpower for the games when I was younger. but this... this I can play.

>>63093012
And let's not forget they're tackling a rather new audience. Currently fighting games are what's rustling their jimmies all over the place.

This is fucking gold if you ask me.

>>63092892
I'm not sure where people are getting this "there's too many fighters" lately thing from.

There have always been about this many fighting games. SF, Marvel, SNK, ASW, Namco have had games out along with each other always. Then there was other shit played here like Melty Blood, Arcana Heart, Virtua Fighter.

The number of fighting games out right now and back then is really no different. Right now there's just WAY more players.

Fucking sweet, Haseo looks pretty co

>fighting game

Fuck everything. Suck my cock Namco.

>>63093118
It's the 'fightan game' boom. Fighting games have always been present, yeah, but now every single company is making them it feels like.

>>63093130
Just enjoy the story mode

>>63093102
The problem is that fighting games are a stagnant genre and anything that's not a capcom clone is reviled by the cocksuckers that perpetuate the shitty games tha-
...
Sorry, forgot I'm not on /vg/. I do like fighting games and this looks cool. Can't wait for it.

>>63093175
We're definitely gonna get cameos in other games (such as Tekken x Street Fighter and such), too.

>>63093175
It's still the same companies though.

Capcom: SF4, MvC3, SFxT, DS4
Namco: Tekken 6/TTT2, SCV
ASW: Blazblue, Persona 4: Arena
SNK: KoF13

I guess a few companies tried to jump into the scene like SE with the Dissidia series, which they've already given up on.

But pretty much everything that isn't a doujin fighter has been made by the same dudes for years now.

>>63093425
Which means new blood! The genre is of course saturated, but the concepts should prove to be fun.

>fighting game

I'm sold.

It's not like we get that much .hack, and it was a GOOD series for a change. I don't think anybody will understand how this is probably just Namdai celebrating a franchise that spanned across an entire decade.

>mfw Atoli's super move sequences are revealed

>>63094778
Well, Namdai Japan is asking for fan support in the US so they could port their stuff over.

As it stands, //LINK never even made it out of Japan. They can work with something they already made for us to get something traditional. Or even a reboot.
