A few days ago Square Enix opened a teaser website for a "secret" project, and as previously mentioned, today another piece of the puzzle has been revealed.

Get hyped. Or in SE's words: "Please be excited."

DarkOcelet3298d ago

I wouldnt get excited. For all we know, it could end up being a Mobile game.

bouzebbal3298d ago

Star Ocean confirmed! please be on PS4 pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase

Square Enix owns the anime 'Darker than Black', right?

In the show, the sky was false - Fake stars, a fake sun and no moon... Stars represented the lives of contractors (superhumans who pay a unique price each time they use their powers) and each time one died, their corresponding star would fall.

I've always wished it was a game, but never thought it possible... until I saw the trailer for 'Persona 5', which looks quite similar.

I know my 'star' association is a stretch, but I figured I'd post my guess... if only to say "I totally called it", on the off-chance I'm correct.

pompombrum3298d ago

^^^ Does Square actually own the license for Darker Than Black? Man that NEEDS to be a game. It would translate so well into a game and would easily hold western appeal.

poppinslops3298d ago

Yes, they own the Manga upon which the Anime is based... So they could make a game themselves, or license it out to someone else.

Personally, I'd like to know the story of 'Heaven's War', when Hei/Lee/BK-201 became a contractor, through to his early days with The Syndicate.

But I wouldn't hold my breath, as it'll almost certainly never happen... that said, 'Psycho Pass' is getting a game - so you never know.

Genki3297d ago

What's funny about this is that mobile games have seen more innovation and genuinely solid gameplay than what we've got on consoles & PC these days. That's sad.

never4get3297d ago

Probably, since everyone here stopped buying their games years ago while mobile gamers keep buying and buying their mobile games. Can't wait for FF7 Director Yoshinori Kitase's Mobius Final Fantasy ! :D

FamilyGuy3297d ago

Knowing what platform this new game is meant for is more important than this hint to me.

indyman77773297d ago (Edited 3297d ago )

is it just another action rpg?

Sorry, double post.

3-4-53298d ago

I still have my Star Ocean games on PSP to play through.

AngelicIceDiamond3298d ago

I dunno, its kinda hard for me to get excited over a tease. Seems like every time devs do this the reveal is underwhelming.

Can't get excited until I actually know what it is.

spacedelete3298d ago

never get hyped over SE's announcements. they are the biggest trolls going.

FinalFantasyFanatic3298d ago (Edited 3298d ago )

Please be excited... for a mobile game!

I'll be very suprised if this isn't a star ocean game (new/port or remake).

*Edit* This was supose to be a reply to the posts above. Posting fail.

N4g_null3298d ago

Starfox huh? With extra belts and cars.

DC7773297d ago

Yep new Moogle pilot named Cid.

Could be Star Wars in Kingdom Hearts or Star Ocean.

More likely some star match 3 game on mobile.

Apollosupreme3298d ago

Base on the last 10-15 years we can almost certainly count on this not being something the fans have been begging to see. Square gives the customer what Square likes, and aren't so much interested in what the fans like. If the two meet then great but if not then, well, we're clearly wrong.

If this were a Superman comic then SquareEnix would be "bizzaro" Squaresoft.

Bhuahahaha3298d ago (Edited 3298d ago )

wow so it turns out be be the first word is STAR

i admit it(i doubt that 1st word would be star)im wrong

GenuineGamer3298d ago

Please please please be Star Ocean for ps4/xbo *fingers crossed

joab7773298d ago

I thought someone figured out Star Ocean last week. It for perfect and the other part was number 5 or something.

But yeah, it's time for another.

GenuineGamer3298d ago (Edited 3298d ago )

Yeah i did see that but until its official i remain skeptical.

gokuking3297d ago

That was a mistake. People thought the 01 0 1 on the site could be read as binary for 5, but it's really just a date.

stragomccloud3298d ago

Star Ocean collection. For mobile. Calling it.

Really not hoping for that.

GenuineGamer3298d ago

A new Star Ocean and a Star Ocean collection for consoles would be a dream come true for me.

Qrphe3298d ago

You're probably right. I can't be disappointed at this point. I'm not hyped at all and in the 0.001% that it's something worthwhile I'll be pleasantly surprised.

OhMyGandhi3298d ago

"...from the creators of Clash of Clans."

BassMan1253298d ago (Edited 3298d ago )

Or a free to play online game.

mt3298d ago

I came to say that. lately, all SE's surprises have been related to mobile.

gangsta_red3297d ago

Seriously, that does sound like something Square would do.

I'm pretty sure he was kidding. Not sure why everyone disagreed. It was a joke.

BitbyDeath3297d ago

Not a very good joke by the looks of it :|

ginsunuva3297d ago

Star Wars Battlefront 3.

Now made by Square Enix

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.

Profchaos13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence

solideagle11d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger11d ago

Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.

carrotcakeag11d ago

@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.

jznrpg15d ago

Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
