New .hack game in development

I'd hope for the same. Although I never played the G.U. series and I only have the first two games before that, they were great (never had the money or thought about picking up others or the rest)

I loved the ones I played and I hope these are just as great. Those were (as it stated) like playing an MMO game in a single-player setting, and it was done so very well.

So, can we expect a PS3/Vita combo then when he said "both platforms"?

Myst4206d ago

Interesting I hope they will go that route

Remember: E.X. Trooper from Capcom is an PS3 and 3DS game.
Crazier things have happened...

GenericNameHere4206d ago

Maybe, but every .hack game has been Playstation exclusive (other than the card games). And the new game that came out recently with the Bluray movie was PS3-exclusive. I say there's about 99% it will be PS3/Vita exclusive.

Pleaaaase come to the states!!!!

Why the .Hack Gaming Series Needs a Remake

.hack (Dot Hack) is a gaming series that started when technology was still evolving and growing. These games showed us some of the horrors but also the best parts of online gaming. But these games are decades old, and perhaps it's time for a remake, a remaster, or even a game in the series.

the OG games, yes they do.

but.. they are very niche to begin with.
bk then, i only knew one person who played the games, beside me.

franwex259d ago

I downloaded the whole series in a sale, but have yet to play them.

gold_drake259d ago

yea they are a commitment haha.

especially the G.U series.

Goosejuice259d ago

U would think they would have made an actual mmo out of this game

gold_drake259d ago

i think they had a mmo of it, in japan only. could be wrong tho.

Pyrofire95259d ago

I think you're right. But I could be wrong too.

Quetzll258d ago

You guys might be right. I could be wrong, but you guys definitely might be on to something here. Who knows??? Pretty sure i heard something about that years back, but i could be wrong.

Knightofelemia259d ago (Edited 259d ago )

The Xenosaga trilogy also needs a remake or at least a remaster. I never got into .hack when they came out on the PS2 I would try them out. A remake or a remaster would be great I am not paying an arm and a leg for the original games.

YungDragon259d ago

I've been wanting a new entry to this series for so long.

The Montreal office opened in 2016, 20 years after the developer was originally founded. Its statement noted that the second office "led CyberConnect2 on a creative journey in the development of tools and cutting-edge techniques used in creating games."

No mention was made in the developer's statement about if it will offer any severance or transitional help to those about to be laid off.

New .hack Game Confirmed to Be in Development by CyberConnect2

CyberConnect2 boss Hiroshi Matsuyama has confirmed that a new .hack game is in development! in its 20th anniversary concert.

CrimsonWing69403d ago

Yeeeesss!!!! I hope they vary up the dungeons, but I’m so happy this is a thing

MadLad403d ago

I wouldn't mind some cleaned up remasters of the originals. Those are the ones I have real nostalgia for.

shinoff2183403d ago

It was always mind boggling they released the .hack g.u. but never the originals. To this day I still never opened them waiting on the originals

FinalFantasyFanatic403d ago

I'd like the original games to be released again, I couldn't get into them the first time around.

BISHOP-BRASIL403d ago

Now I'm almost happy it was just a joke.

Terry_B402d ago

lol ^^ but 6 people downvoted my comment and didnt get that it was a joke as well since I knew it was a joke ;)
