.Hack//G.U. Last Recode

PC won again

That's pretty great. Why no remasters of the originals, though?

Some more info I found about it:
The game will release this year, but it's still unknown if it'll be the first of three or the whole trilogy in one.
The magazine will bring more details in a couple of days.

>>380242286
I wonder that too. I guess because the originals may be more outdated and harder to remake.

>>380242113
what the FUCK
hopefully they'll remaster the four .hack episodes if it sells well enough

I hope to god they don't add DLC shit to this.

Please don't ruin one of my favorite games holy fuck

its just a matter of time until IMOQ copies stop being worth hundreds i guess

Thats fucking sweet

>>380242113

>>380242641
but all 7 are on ps2? id agree if the first ones were on ps1 but its the same gen

>>380242113
Don't tell me they're actually trying to push .hack again. Nobody liked the games, nobody liked the series, nobody liked the novels. Everything was objectively trash.

>>380242113
is this just the same game(s) with better textures/ui/resolution or are they actually revamping mechanics?

>>380242113
>The title is being made as part of the .hack series’ 15th anniversary. Daisuke Uchiyama who was the producer of the .hack and .hack//G.U. games and now a corporate executive officer of Bandai Namco talks more about the game in an interview with CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama, who is currently working on the HD remaster.

bro you could have always emulated them
im even downloading the gu trilogy right now

Holy shit this is legitimately the best news ever

Fucking finally, please give us IMOQ too CC2 my niggas

>western release never ever

>CC2 dropped FF7R for this
JUST

>>380243094
GU trilogy were probably some of the best games on PS2

Western release or suicide

Sanjuro and Mistral best party setup in Infection.

Sanjuro for the badass jappo swordsman, and Mistral for the qt housewife who's pretty fun.

>>380243149
Meanwhile, Konami doesn't even remember Castlevania's 30th anniversary.

I 100%ed the main series, glad I never bothered with GU so I can do it now.

Only ever watched the prequel anime, which was a turd except for

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2pq6vq

Shit anime that didn't deserve best op of that year.

>>380242113
That's pretty neat. I hope it gets a US release and that IMOQ gets the same treatment down the line. Though it is still pretty odd not to do IMOQ first, but I guess they could skirt around dropping new players into the sequel series by including the Terminal Disc which goes over the events of IMOQ.

i would've prefered the original serie first

I never understood why they made Sora (Haseo) the MC of G.U.. Sora was a villain.

>>380243691
Difficulty shouldn't be a problem due to how exp is scaled. As long at you're not like 10 levels under the level of the area you should be perfectly fine. It isn't until the 3rd and 4th games where slightly more thought is required than just being at the right levels.

>>380242113
HOLY FUCKING SHIT

BAMCO WITH THE E3 SAVE

Just give us the games on PS4 already. You dont even have to upgrade them, just put them all together. Thats all I ask. You can even charge $40 a piece, I dont care, just do it fuuuuck

>>380243691
>and the difficulty balancing is all over the fucking place

Last time I played the game I remember getting to some giant butterfly/moth boss that was a huge fucking cunt and made me quit playing. I've beaten Ninja Gaiden Black on the harder difficulties, so it's not like I'm terrible at games or anything.

Nice. Thanks for the info OP

>>380244098
This. G.U was trash

>>380243504
You play a single-player mmo and help scripted npcs dungeoncrawl on maps generated with keyword combinations.

Combat is real-time on the game field.

There are also "out of game" moments where you are looking at a fake pc desktop reading messages (from your in-game friends) and forum posts about weird stuff happening in the game (glitches, cool zones, rare items).

Also has anime tie-ins to .hack//sign and the Liminality disks packaged with the first 4 games (Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, Quarantine)

>>380244278
What this nigga said, the only hard part of the first game is the very end, and you can deal with it with judicious Item use and shit

I can't believe it. Me and my friend yesterday were literally talking about how we would buy these HD remasters of GU if they were real. And it fucking happens the next day. This is insane. I really love these games.

>>380244278
>>380244503
The only "hard" parts of the game(s) were the infected dungeons and post-game dungeons where managing your data corruption was required.

Skeith was a really retarded difficulty boost for me for some reason.

>>380243504
It's not a very good series. Combat is repetitive and stale. Unless you have watching //sign it's really not worth your time.

>>380244021
Atoli. Shino only craves for Ovan's dick.

>>380244168
Ryou lost his memory of his time playing The World. He also has a connection to Skeith since he was turned into his wand.

>>380244328
If you were at the same level as the area and having issues then all I can say is probably bring a Wavemaster with you. Magic is op as shit and having a second party member with healing abilities is always helpful.

>>380244098
>>380244410
Agreed. Do people actually unironically like GU?

>>380244835
GU does several things better than IMOQ. It also does several things worse than IMOQ. Both series are good bad.

>>380244835
Fuck yes. Full on unironically. I'm obsessed with the GU series. I played and completed all three parts and 100% them all twice.

I played the first game, halfway through the game I got bored and threw the disc in the trash. I burned myself a copy

>>380244835
GU is fun, despite Sasuke being the main character.

It's single-player in the sense that every NPC has a script they follow. You do see other "players" both in town and in the game fields (cutscenes mostly). The big issue is their scripts only change a few times in the game. You will see player "tim" 100 times but probably will only check his dialogue and see something new 5 times in 20 hours of gameplay.

The way we use "singleplayer mmo" is more like "empty world"

You clearly never played G.U. That's what I thought too, before playing it.

>>380243504
>Can some kind anon sum up shortly what these games are about?
A simulated MMORPG, but plot-driven.
Located in an imaginary MMORPG known as "The World", the plot follows the connection between in-game events and real-life occurrencies.

The first series is 4 games (Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, Quarantine) and is pretty mediocre on almost all levels except character design.
The second series is 3 games (Rebirth, Reminisce, Redemption) and is extremely better in any regard (especially gameplay)

hack//G.U. Last Recode remaster details: 1080p/60FPS, cheat mode, game system enhanced, development 80% complete.

Iyoten and Asta better be permanent party members this time.

I don't like them but I don't like temporary party members, just add them as post-game bonus characters like Natsume, Tabby, Azure Knights etc

>>380250442
Tried it a bit. Barebones as fuck even by Storm series standards. Really felt like cheap fan-service even back then since the series was in a serious drought and this one, rather than satisfying, it annoyed me honestly. They even shoehorned that MC kite from the 3D movie. Still haven't watched that, dunno if I should.

Seriously? I thought it was great. I mean yeah it was obviously not much, but I had a blast playing it with friends. It felt really good to play and there was a good variety between the characters. Xth form Haseo and Ovan were fun as fuck. I just wish they actually turned it into a full game.

I have never played monhun though, so I have nothing to complain about.

>>380250993
The spanish twitter I found it from said "like Final Fantasy 7", but I unfortunately never got that one so I'm not sure what it does exactly

>>380251078
I liked it significantly more than the Ninja Storm games. Pure quality over quantity. Every character is unique in Versus while everyone in Ninja Storm is basically the same.

>>380251169
>>380250993

like the shit in the ffx/2 pc version where you could change encounters/speed?

>>380251169
Guess it just gives you max stats and such so you can simply play it for the story. A bit silly, but easily ignored.

>>380251169
If it's referring to the recent re-releases of FF7, it's basically a max-stat toggle for people that just want to steamroll the game for the story or for getting achievements that require multiple playthroughs.

>>380251334
There's also 2x battle speed and the ability to disable random battles.

>>380242113
Neat, hope they remaster the first 4 games too, or at least make a remastered cutscene gallery for them ala KH collection.

Not necessary, but there's a lot of references and same people playing new characters. You'll be missing out on some details, but otherwise it's fine.

>>380252621
There are references, but they aren't must plays.

You WILL enjoy the GU games more if you played the originals because of this though.

Wow! This is such a great surprise to me. I'm sooooo excited!

Nothing really. I might have played the first four games, but I got into the GU series first. When I went back to play the first one of the four, it was, good, but really rough. I never got that far. It aged pretty badly, though I might finish them on an emulator someday if they don't get a remake like these. I'm just glad GU made it, that's all, I'm fucking happy.

Having included all 3 volumes in one package, features that were added in Vol.3 Redemption will be also applied to Vol.2 Reminisce and Vol.1 Rebirth. Last Recode will also have many more upgrades to the gameplay system, which you can check in the list below:

Added a Retry feature when your party gets wiped out
Added an optional Cheat Mode that lets the player start the game with max level and strongest equipments
Increased movement speed
Increased amount of carryable items to 90, also new feature to repeatedly use a same item
Item menu will now have Shortcut & Sort features
Limit of carryable Chim Spheres & Virus Cores are increased to 999 each
Added a new healing feature "Idle Rest" on platforms
Raised battle tempo by reducing pauses when attacking or raising attack power
Raised the increase rate of weapon proficiency
Increased experience gain
Added feature to skip Awakening scenes
Reduced the difficulty of some strong enemies
Rebalanced the Avatar Battle system
Increased Skeith's normal shot speed
Added feature to pause Avatar Battles in VR
Reduced probability of friends selling gifted items
Can now specify to choose between Saku and Bo when calling Sakubo
Can now get all character endings in Vol.3 Redemption instead of just one per save data

So it's been casualized. Despite already being a piss-easy game.

Not shown at E3, only info is in Japanese. It's likely this won't get localized.

I remember playing this like 10 years ago, but I dropped it at part 2 because the dungeons were too fucking long and repetitive. Also I remember the MC being an obnoxious edgelord, why do people like him again?

>>380253615
So they got rid of virtually every dumb thing in the game. Hopefully they won't nerf the end game fights though and just take off chunks of HP the giant enemies on random maps have way too much of.

Eh, whatever. I probably won't use it, but I guess it's good for newcomer of those who don't have free time

>Increased movement speed

IIRC I don't see anything wrong with Haseo's movement speed, his movement was faster than Kite.

>Increased amount of carryable items to 90, also new feature to repeatedly use a same item
>Item menu will now have Shortcut & Sort features
>Limit of carryable Chim Spheres & Virus Cores are increased to 999 each

NOOOOOO!!!!!

>Rebalanced the Avatar Battle system

Yeah, I don't remember about Skeith's shot speed so I can't comment about this

>Added feature to pause Avatar Battles in VR

Good, sometimes I need to do something else so I guess this is welcoming addition.

>Reduced probability of friends selling gifted items

...they can sell gifted items? I... don't remember party members selling their important items...

>Can now specify to choose between Saku and Bo when calling Sakubo

Awesome!

Saku all the time!

Bo GTFO!

>Can now get all character endings in Vol.3 Redemption instead of just one per save data

Sure...

>>380254205
Because he eventually gets over being an obnoxious edgelord

>>380254205
Because even from part 1 he shows sings of not being an edgelord when it matters, the signs grow larger in 2. You remember it wrong.

Versus really wasn't a mainline game. While it is the last place the story left off, it was also a much more niche title than IMOQ, GU, and even Link. Its direct connection came from the OVA following the movie.

Roots was really fucking bad, and that's coming from someone who lived GU. It wasn't just slow-moving, literally nothing happened for the majority of the series. After Ovan disappeared, it was just Haseo walking around in dark grassy areas breathing loudly while Tabby kept talking about how useless she was.
For as many flaws as the G.U movie had, at least it was actually fun to watch. Roots was just a disaster, especially when placed next to SIGN.

>>380256448
No way. For every good idea the big maps had the dungeons made 2 mistakes.

>>380254996
He literally cheated. Also the admins were supporting him.

WHERE OBSESSION NEEDS TO-OO GOO

>>380256546
Roots was a prequel to G.U, starting from the first time Haseo steps into R:2. G.U takes place after it.

>>380256328
Silly anon. Of course she's a girl (male).

>>380256501
Duel blades or just Cleric.

>>380256546
It was prequel showing off Haseo's noob days, ending just before G.U starts

>>380256448
Story and characters? Maybe. Gameplay? Hell no. They'd need to revamp the entire combat system for a remake of the originals.

>>380255409
Pretty sure haseo is the first character to get gay married on a console so yeah.

>>380243094
Speak for yourself, retard. I've never met anyone that hated them.

>>380256501
Dance Macabre. Yata was classy as fuck.

>>380256546

In Vol.1 the tutorial section shows Haseo getting fucked by player killers, and then there's a "10 months later" message that happens. These 10 months is what Roots is IIRC.

>>380256563
B-st form was fucking stupid IMO but it was fucking awesome to see the shitstorm of broadswords. I might give it another watch since a lot of the faces and huge mouths amuse me.

Do you guys still remember what tune you chose for your desktop?

Without heavy rebalancing? Frankly, Rogues are the best. They already make several classes obsolete.

I went with the default pretty much until I could pick Carl

>>380250793
>The second series is 3 games (Rebirth, Reminisce, Redemption) and is extremely better in any regard (especially gameplay)
so playing from the start is not optional or what?

>>380256807
the way player killers were portrayed in .hack games always made me laugh

I've... I've waited for this... for so long... and now it's finally happening. One of my favorite game series is getting a remaster. I'm so fucking happy.

I thought KH was gonna be the only one to get the remaster treatment.

>>380257269
The only good Haseo form was his 2nd form I think, the one with the butt flaps. He looked cool and didn't look like a gayboi waiting to be raped.

Mah waifu

Best E3 ever.

>>380242113
Oh well I'm not gonna have to emulate them in PCSX2 then, that's good.
