The game that Namco Bandai had been teasing the past few days has been revealed in the latest Famitsu.
In Japan, it's the end of two eras this month, as the final PS2 RPG is shipped as well as the final .hack game.
Such a shame .hack is being killed off. Everyone who played and enjoyed the series always hoped for an eventual online component to play "The World."
The series has a very well developed universe and a great fan following that could only get bigger if they tried to up the ante with a new console release. I hope this development team comes up with some new awesome RPG series to take its place or one day comes back and makes "The World" MMO we all wish existed. :)
i never felt that need for an actual online component .
I actually played .HACK because it was a great fictional work and "parody" , where you play a mmo player , with bordeline supernatural events (or rather bugs and glitches here) .
I dont see the interest in making it an actual mmo , or close to it , and then loosing it's uniqueness .
Once online it will only look inferior to actual MMOs or games like Monster hunter .
In fact the already existing online Hack game sucked hard .
Otherwise yeah the serie was awesome .
At least let's hope it will comeback as a new game someday .
I believe 10 years later there will be a hack game where you wear googles and play inside the WORLD. That would be the most awesome MMO ever.
well, there was actually a version of the original games where you could play with 2 other people from a lobby and quest in a keyword area. it was called Fragment. didnt sell amazingly in japan and they never ported it over here. but ya...ive been a long time .hack fanboy since the original anime and games aired, i remember waiting for the next releases eagerly for months with the first games. im very sad to see the end of it, i really loved it...maybe some of the stuf that didnt make it over here will get brought over in the future
Last Ranker (PSP), Lufia DS, RPG Maker DS, .hack//Link (PSP), Keroro RPG (DS), Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 (DS), Shiren the Wanderer 4 (DS), Etrian Odyssey III (DS).
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth my two front.....
No really, if Lufia turns out to be crap. I'm gonna scream.
1 and 2 were epic.

I have never expected a handheld console (DS) as the king of JRPGs. Who would have thought....
Atelier Judie (PSP), Last Ranker (PSP), Dragon Quest VI (DS), Digimon Story (DS), Keroro (DS), and Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley (PSP).
That's very disappointing. I mean, I haven't played it, so I can't speak about the game's quality, but the teaser site Namco Bandai had up made it seem like this game would be more epic.
Indeed, although you have to wonder what the correlation is between the teaser page and the game (the vibes seem completely different).
"its for the DS"
pass.
damn i was hoping for a wii ps3 or psp game
