Hmmmm, very interesting... I'm all for it though. Great anime no doubt!

ShugaCane3941d ago

Yes this anime is awesome. If done well it could be so fun !! (Well, if done bad on the other hand......lol)

VGrim3941d ago

unfortunetly anime will become stupid as the story progreses, after reading manga to latest chapter i lost all interest in titans..

papashango3940d ago

Trost is a perfect setting for an open world / Assassins creed like game. 3D maneuver gear done right could be fun as hell.

UNGR3941d ago

YES, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YES! This anime is fantastic, if you've never watched anime before this is a great place to start. I was really hoping this would get a game, and it's going to be a console game at that! Very excited. Hopefully it's released on all platforms, I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on this.

Snookies123941d ago (Edited 3941d ago )

I dunno if I'd recommend it as a great place to start for people who have never watched anime... It's a little heavy for new watchers. It is however a great piece of animation and a wonderful story for those who like anime in any way shape or form. Yes though, I do also hope it'll be released for all platforms. It would be nice to get this series even more widespread. :]

UNGR3941d ago

If you're giving anime a real shot this show really couldn't hurt to start at. If not this I'd recommend something like Rourouni Kenshin, FMA, Hunter x Hunter, maybe some Dragon Ball. But now that I know the game is going to happen I really want to know how it'll play, if it's going to be a next gen title, and what platforms it'll be on. Considering the series is being brought to the US already an Xbox version doesn't sound too crazy.

And if you are an anime fan and you haven't seen this, watch it, you won't be disappointed.

blackstrr4113941d ago

So u will be killing titans frequently in the game when its only captain levy and mikasa who can look a titan in the eye. Please they shouldn't think of doing the game. This anime is more of a horror type. Since the pilot its only last weeks epi that they had good luck. Besides the game won't go R18. Andwithout the mature themes its not gonna the same. Pls don't make this game. I don't wanna be killing 100 titans each stage. They titans must be on insane difficulty from the beginning. And they can't make it stealth + co-op. I'm sorry I'm blabbing its just video game animes tend to not work out.

VGrim3941d ago

Sorry but if u read manga u would know that they will fight a lot of titan's and overall feeling of the anime will change, first episodes are the best, later it just gets more and more stupid... not gonna spoil anything but anime will become just another nothing special thing like bleach etc with bs story.

danthebios3941d ago

It would be great if it was a ps4 exclusive because bleach,naruto(only one then the rest got multiplat afterwards) and one piece was a ps3 exclusive.Great anime cant wait for a game!!

Moncole3941d ago

It should be multiplatform so more people can enjoy it you fanboy.

Telltale shares new images from The Wolf Among Us 2, release 2024

The long-awaited sequel to the 2013 narrative adventure is currently expected out sometime in 2024.

BlackOni2d ago

Oh hell yeah! I feel like this was one hell of an underrated game, and I'm glad to see that a part 2 is coming.

jznrpg2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

This was my favorite Telltale game. I’m definitely going to play this. Hopefully it has less jank than the Telltale games had. I didn’t think it would happen but I’m happy it’s coming

gold_drake1d 16h ago

right? it was sooo good, cant wait for part 2

BlackCountryBob1d 21h ago

Great, loved the first game and happy a sequel is coming but after such a lengthy development, are Telltale gonna be releasing it episodic with non specific time delays between episodes? If it is episodic, they need to have a full set of dates laid out for every episode so we know what we are getting & when like Resident Evil Revelations 2 did, buying episode 1 and not knowing when the rest will come is just unacceptable in 2024.

CobraKai1d 14h ago

I always loved Telltale games. They were like those old choose your own adventures books.

Gamers seek legal win that would stop devs from rendering online games unplayable

The organizer of "Stop Killing Games" hopes to get France and other governments to examine the legality of live service shutdowns. Scott has launched a new website, Stop Killing Games, to rally opposition to the games industry's "assault on both consumer rights and preservation of media," as he puts it.

-Foxtrot16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Should probably get them to implement offline mode when it comes to games you can play single player

It's shitty playing something solo and having to be connect despite being offline within the game.

It's worse when you get the games which can't be paused, I remember the doorbell going during a huge fight in Monster Hunter World, it took me ages but realised you couldn't pause. I ended up getting slaughtered after spending so long almost killing it.

Yi-Long14d ago

Driveclub is one of my favourite games of all-time, but once Sony killed it, it's barely playable in offline; Leaderboards are obviously gone so one of the things I liked to do most in the game, Time-attack, is now pretty pointless, and every race you start there's a red text on thr screen telling you you're offline.

There honestky was no need to keep the offline so integrated with the online stuff, and it's made me wary of other games which are now 'always online'.

purple10115d ago

should do what gran truismo on ps54 did, after severs shut, they unlock everything in the campaign to be played offline

there's no need for anti-cheat 'always online' which was always their excuse, thats and updating gamer progression

neutralgamer199215d ago

I didn’t know that. That’s awesome

Jingsing15d ago

and put out a physical version at the end, it is extra money for them at the end of the day.

blacktiger15d ago

Ppl get confused about this lawsuit, this guy has a point, if you don't want to pay for server cause no one is playing that's fine, at least make it PVP, that isn't hard and people paid for the game. So there for it shouldn't be unplayable. Offline is not what he's fighting for but that would be single player. He just fighting for PVP as to dedicated if you going to take it down.

I agree with this one! I hope he wins!

SimpleSlave15d ago

"Offline is not what he's fighting for but that would be single player. "

Always Online does include fully fledged Single Player Campaigns as well. And that's why I think The Crew is being used; The Precedent that covers it all.

Games like The Division 1 and 2 also have Single Player Campaigns, and Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a fully fledged Single Player game but always Online. Which mean that unless uBeSawft patches them they will all cease to exist once uBeSawft pulls the plug.

Again, I think this is why The Crew is being used as the precedent, because it covers all the Online Only bases; Not just the usual Multiplayer PvE and PvP like an MMO or Shooters and their Servers, but also actual Single Player Campaigns that are sadly always online.

Inverno15d ago

Should pin this to let it be on top for a while. This sort of stuff should get some good amount of attention, could actually make some good change in the industry.

HyperMoused15d ago

SP games yes, MP games, its a question of whos maintaing the servers etc and keeing them online.

blackblades15d ago

PvP games it should work. I remember playing black ops offline with AI opponents but of course its funner with real and AI bots. I know some games are server base but I imagine if hard work put in to it that, it can work offline.

PRIMORDUS15d ago

At least on the PC side I say if a company doesn't want to support a game anymore just give it to the fans. They will keep it alive for years and years. Like UT2004 for example you can still play it today, or BF1942. For any SP games I just torrent and keep it forever if they pull the plug. 😊

Square Enix Already "Hard At Work" On Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3

Development on the next game in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy might be further ahead than we thought. In a video discussing the series, the project leads say they are "hard at work" on the finale, right after launching Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

This comment was made by Remake and Rebirth director Tetsuya Nomura, who says that he and the scenario writer Kazushige Nojima are already working on the next game. Better yet, composer Nobuo Uematsu says that he'd be "honoured" to return for the finale, despite previously fearing that he doesn't have the "strength" for another game.

Just keep tossing them out

Barlos20d ago

Nothing worse than a grammar nazi

_Decadent_Descent20d ago

@Barlos

Nothing worse than those that let others keep on making a fool of themselves and say nothing to correct them. That's why they continue to keep making those mistakes.

Pyrofire9520d ago

I appreciate that many more people are agreeing with the grammar correction and disagreeing with Barlos.

yikes talk about nit picking and strawmanning

roadkillers20d ago

This is something most crtics bring up... but they still gave the game 9+ score. As big of a deal as you are making it, a VAST majority of players were just fine with the graphics compared to waht they got with Rebirth

DarXyde20d ago

Dude complains about everything.

I haven't finished the game yet, but I'm having a blast.

Just negative for the sake of being negative.

dumahim20d ago

While I'd guess they're probably not going to do much else about it at this point, just because they're working on the sequel doesn't mean they can't have someone working on the visual issues for Rebirth. Likewise, it also doesn't mean they're not working on a DLC for it either.
Either way, I'd put money on it that they'll update the game for PS5 Pro.

Exvalos20d ago

Keep up the hatred fanboy, and we will keep playing great games

GoodGuy0921d ago

Sweet....and hopefully can actually answer all the wtfs rather than giving us more questions that has been happening in these games lol. And I hope they just end the game properly instead of trying to milk VII even more. I'd very much like to see remakes of other FF titles on the same level.

-Foxtrot21d ago

God I hope this is it for VII

They’ve milked it far too much over the years, I mean Wikipedia has its own VII specific page because there’s so much media for it

It’s time for other FF games to get some love

gold_drake20d ago

im all for it, remake and rebirth were fantastic, especially rebirth, my god wat a brilliant game.

i mean, we had 16 and 14 still be a thing.
and 9 is getting a remake too, apparently

FinalFantasyFanatic20d ago

As much as I love FF7, they have really milked it to death, 2 compilations of FF7 which includes novels, games, mobile games, movies and animation...

They really need to put more effort into newer FF games.

-Foxtrot20d ago

@FinalFantasyFanatic

Yeah I mean look at it man, why does anyone want it milked even more when other FF games are starving for attention.

https://i.ibb.co/3mT2TRc/12...

Furesis21d ago

Well when you have Tetsuya Nomura hands on something, that is what you get. Whether you like it or not that's another thing.
I don't think they should make remakes like this anymore, and they won't that's what they said also. It takes too long and it just fragments the game too much for my taste. And i'd prefer a more 1 to 1 remake with maybe a slightly smaller budget so that it would actually be made in a reasonable time rather than these 10+ year projects.

gold_drake20d ago

nomura doesnt ely that much of a role in the trilogy, its Nojima u need to blame ha.

as for the og, there are mods u can use for that.

we'll never get an updated og game. it would take them years to finish it, even if its 1:1

fr0sty20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

nobody will buy a 1:1 remake, they already know what is going to happen exactly... and you can't properly remake a 20+ year old game 1:1 anyway, so much needs to be done to bring it to modern standards, that you have to change some things.

Michiel198920d ago

@frosty that's the same thing the execs at blizzard said about WoW classic and here we are. You think you do, but you don't

dumahim20d ago

They did a Remaster for Crisis Core, which seemed near impossible due to a licensing issue not too long ago. I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same for Dirge of Cerberus before part 3.

I do worry what they'll do with part 3 though. They're not just going to abandon the nonsense. Rebirth was like 98% fantastic, but those whispers moments and their take on what is one of the most iconic scenes in video games ever just upsets me.

Hofstaderman20d ago

80 hours into rebirth and loving it. Bring it on Square.

gold_drake20d ago

i had 118h at the end. with everything done minues the queens blood stuff. and i absolutely loved every minute of it

Hofstaderman20d ago

I just want to say bugger mog house level 6. Will return to that later

Shiro17320d ago

Only one thing I hated it and it was the relic hunt for the sand spot next to the flying saucer. I hated that mini game for the relic. Killing those cactus with Aerith was annoying.

fr0sty20d ago

I like the remakes better than the original that I grew up playing back in the 90s... they are doing it right. And that soundtrack... I still jam the Gongaga theme all the time.
