.hack//The Movie Blu-ray to Include PlayStation 3 Game

Anriasang writes, "CyberConnect2 announced .hack//The Movie earlier today. While fans were likely pleased at the news of a 3DCG movie based off the franchise, it appears that many had been hoping for a PlayStation 3 revival when CC2 began teasing the announcement last week."

Please a new .hack JRPG game for the PS3!!!!!!!!

mindedone4627d ago (Edited 4627d ago )

Question, do these types of movies play on regular blu ray players? Just curious. either way I'd be playing it in my ps3

Edit: what does the disagree mean? does that mean it DOESN'T play? Does it mean I WON'T be laying it in my ps3?

XiaoSet4627d ago

I think you got a disagree for this:

"The hybrid discs are playable on both PS3 and standard Blu-ray players."

Which is written in the actual article, if you clicked it.

nightmarex1214627d ago

For the tekken hybrid both are able to watch the movie but only the ps3 will be able to play the games. So probably its the same with this one too.

Knightofelemia4627d ago

Either a new .hack or at least an HD remake of the games while they do that dust off Xenosaga and turn it into an HD remake as well

Ritsujun4627d ago

.hack HD collection please

Xof4627d ago

To my knowledge, this has only been done once before. The first Macross Frontier movie, "The False Songstress," was released on a BD/PS3 hybrid along with a short (but totally awesome) Macross game based off of the (even better) PSP Macross games.

You stick the disc in the PS3, and an icon shows up under both the video tab and the games tab--pretty self explanatory. Nice to have everything on one disc.

(They're doing the same thing with the second Frontier movie, Wings of Goodbye, due to be released in a month or two).

So, what does this have to do with this dot hack hybrid pack?

Basically... don't get too excited guys. Movies in Japan are expensive. Games are expensive, too. And these hybrid products? Yeah--they're not going to cost much more than your average movie (which is LESS than your average game). What that means is that you should NOT expect to see much in the way of content. The Macross game I mentioned earlier was more like a demo than a game--it had something like 6 selectable units, 8 selectable missions, and 2 difficulty levels--and NO SAVING.

To be even clearer, if anyone thinks I'm being vague here... a new PS3 game can have an MSRP of around 6000-8000 (75-110 USD) yen. Expect this hybrid pack to cost about 5000 yen ($65 USD).

I wish I could offer some kind of hope, like, "maybe it's just a demo for a REAL dot hack sequel," but people had the same wishful thoughts about the last Macross hybrid... but instead of getting a sequel we're getting ANOTHER demo, titled, "Last Frontier," so I find it hard to be optimistic.

That said, it's been a long time since we've seen anything Dot Hack, so they ought to have something to show for the several-years of silence.

The Watchmen Blu-ray came with the two games I believe.

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.

franwex263d ago

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

gold_drake263d ago

yea they are a commitment haha.

especially the G.U series.

Goosejuice263d ago

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

gold_drake263d ago

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

Pyrofire95263d ago

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

Quetzll263d 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.

Knightofelemia263d ago (Edited 263d 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.

YungDragon263d ago

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

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.

CrimsonWing69407d ago

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

MadLad407d ago

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

shinoff2183407d 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

FinalFantasyFanatic407d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL407d ago

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

Terry_B406d 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 ;)
