"Do you mean a .hack sequel? Or do you mean the next original title to follow .hack? We're of course making new titles. PS3 titles too."-Hiroshi Matsuyama
This guy better bring .hack quick.

Nike5745d ago

Would love to see an updated HD version of the old .hack games, with some of the old bugs ironed out but even better would be a brand new game, bridging the gap between the various franchise properties like the original, Roots, etc.

All 4 .hacks/ from the PS2? That would be one long ass game. I think instead of remaking the FAKE ONLINE RPG, just make a new one with Real ONLINE connectivity. There can still be NPC emials and interactions, but let an online community grow.

EDIT: I am not knocking the series. I was just stating that .hack emulates an online world. Well now...they can have a real one since PSN is strong and well developed and back then it was just starting

ChronoJoe5745d ago

Actually they were all individually, very short. Typically under 20hours each. So putting them all together, makes one good length JRPG.

I think if they release another .HACK game, they should also release a .HACK HD collection, beforehand. I'd buy it.

WLPowell5745d ago (Edited 5745d ago )

I disagree, because there is more to the game than just it being a fake-MMO, it's an RPG and the setting is within an MMO. Unless the game is actually gonna let you hack the code, break the game with cheating, and put people in comas. Take that away and it's not .hack.

I'd like a new story myself, or a continuation of GU.

Neko_Mega5745d ago

Their is a online MMO of .Hack, problem is that it is only in Japan. It does take place in the first .Hack.

terrorofdeath5745d ago

Lets hope nobody gets into any "real" comas.

@Neko_Mega
i think you mean : in the first "the world"

i will gladly take a new .hack game on the PS3

MicroSony4Life5745d ago

came from some one who think you were talking about pirating a game.

noxeven5745d ago

I'd love a new dot hack game, hell id love an translation of .hack link too. hopefully one or more will occur sooner rather then later

Rybakov5745d ago

YES PLEASE either remake it in hd or just make it an mmo because its already there you just need to apply what you already have

Stealth20k5745d ago

I guess this finally puts the .hack link will get localized to rest....

and why would people be excited for this? Namco would never localize it at this point

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.

franwex1016d ago

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

gold_drake1016d ago

yea they are a commitment haha.

especially the G.U series.

Goosejuice1016d ago

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

gold_drake1016d ago

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

Pyrofire951016d ago

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

Quetzll1015d 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.

Knightofelemia1016d ago (Edited 1016d 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.

YungDragon1015d 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.

CrimsonWing691159d ago

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

MadLad1159d ago

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

shinoff21831159d 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

FinalFantasyFanatic1159d ago

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

Terry_B1159d ago

Hopefully its souls-like!

BISHOP-BRASIL1159d ago

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

Terry_B1158d 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 ;)
