On January 23rd , new screenshots and a teaser trailer have been released, the latter available for viewing at YouTube.
.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.
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.
Back in 2010, Bandai Namco released .hack//Link for PSP in Japan, developed by CyberConnect2, but it never came west.
"Whenever a Japanese game has a high anticipation level, Western gamers can't wait to cite the high Famitsu score. There's a problem with this, however, and I'll show it to you." -Heath Hindman discusses overworked reviewers, deals with game shops, a slanted scale, 2-sentence reviews, and other problems with a magazine that seemingly everyone puts on a pedestal.
I am going to move to Japan and start a business where I shit on a plate and sell said shit-plates for $60 each. You might want to start buying stock.... now.
Eh. I don't think anybody takes Famitsu that seriously tbh. It's just interesting seeing what review scores are given to games from a Japanese perspective. And since Famitsu is the most popular gaming mag in Japan, that's the one everyone pays attention to.
I actually respect Famitsu. There one of the only reviewers I trust. They gave FF12 and 13 good scores because they ARE GOOD games. The only reason that I think a lot of people hate them is because they weren't like a regular FF's. So they actually don't just give a game a good score because of the title. It usually does for most other websites or magazines though. They are the most fair reviewers imo. But I can see how some people don't like them because they review some of those really obscure games that only the Japs like.
