.Hack Games

[illmanneredj]

Bandai really should give CyberConnect2 the ok to remake Infection Mutation Outbreak and Quarantine. There is a fan base for it plus CyberConnect2 wants to they just cant get the green light. They even want to make more games in the .Hack series. The series hasnt been forgotten they have the anniversary for it. They did it for .Hack G.U. why not the other titles and allow future games? Will we ever see it happen? I have heard plenty of excuses or reasons why it cant people say I still disagree with what they say.

I know currently it seems slim with bandai having the rights right now. Though i still think there is hope. think about it some game series it seems like they are driving it into the ground The will need something new again. Plus there is also the fan push fans wanting it. Though yea I agree currently agree its slim chances but wouldnt count it out yet. Honestly since they are refusing to do anything with it they should try to sell the rights for it to it maybe perhaps Cyberconnect2 to have full rights or maybe Falcom and colaberate with cyberconnnect2 or some other place that as just a example. Perhaps us fans need to push harder for it and maybe as stupid as this sound We know Cyberconnect2 wants to do more with .hack maybe they need to be stubborn about it with Bandai.

Yea it is good fans voice and talk about there opinion!!!!! It just further proof that that beyond just CyberConnect2 wanting to do things people want to see them. Even if a remake or remaster of .Hack IMOQ its not just fans that played the games back on the PS2 even it starts to become introducing this new younger generation to generation that wasn't around to see it and plus how but some may have over looked it as well!! sure there emulators but thats nothing compared to a official game release!

I am no old fart so to speak I am a die hard gamer though. Just putting it simply its for fans of the games some that may have over looked it and like i said a more younger generation.
Older games can sell when ported at times or remade/remastered so if Bandai thinks a waste of time or money they wrong and should give cyberconnect2 the green light for it all.

No money would be wasted they would receive profit from it seeing the big addiance it can attract!!!

I do apologize yet get my spelling grammar even wording may not be the best though I still try to improve it!

As much as I would like it, the fanbase really isn't big enough. The G.U games were more popular, which is unfortunate since they aren't as good. As long as the remakes keep the old menu spam style of the OG quadrilogy I would like to see them made, but I really just don't think they will. :(

The activity or lack thereof in these forums is very indicative of this.

I would argue a lot of that is due to ignorance.. this franchise flew under the radar for a lot of people, and many who did find it also had a hard time actually dabbling into it due to limited availability.

That's one of the reasons GU was more successful too, the original .Hack games are quite difficult to get your hands on, especially Quarantine which I think had a lower production limit than the other games.

What I'd counter argue with is the concept of these games, the simulated mmo with a whole people getting trapped inside it storypoint.. that's quite a more popular concept today than it was when these games originally dropped on the PS2.. thanks largely to IP's like Sword Art Online.
I think that with a good marketing push, a well done remake of the original .Hack games, ideally in one big collection or something, could actually do much better than the original games did.

But i'm not going to say it wouldn't be a gamble though.. it would.. that's an unfortunate reality that would need to be considered.

You said it your self G.U. was successful. .HACK IMOQ just went under the radar in a way back then since it was released in limited amount in the west. Though there are fans who remember it played it enjoyed it and the G.U. series was released in the west and they remade that it's gotten positive response. WHY NOT remake .HACK IMOQ now since times do change and plus there are other age groups involved now even younger and older can capture a whole group of people.. You are thinking only reasons why they shouldnt and being negative about all i guess you could say instead of wanting fans to push for it to happen because not just .HACK IMOQ would be good but more titles in the .hack series would be good! If anything why not release a new title see how it does and then go from there to test the waters so to speak. WHY NOT give the series a chance to shine yet again!?

I'm not being negative, i'm being realistic. Bandai is struggling financially right now. Tbf most big companies technically are. The economy in the U.S sucks right now & likely isn't going to get better until people finally figure out y its in bad shape. Not to mention there was the loss of the source code for one of the OG games. I forget which one & have heard different stories as to which one. Some say Quarantine others say it was Outbreak. I have honestly heard all 4 named by different people.

It shouldn't be as big of an issue as it is since technically Bandai owns the copyright of .Hack & they could just use one of the Roms floating around the internet for the Source. It would be alot more financially successful & intelligent to do this instead of spending billions & rushing headfirst into bankruptcy trying to change laws, buy out corrupt politicians and destroy these small websites & roms, most of which don't even directly profit from the downloads or proliferation; but Greed will always win out in the end. Throughout my studies of history, I have seen zero reasons to believe otherwise.

It just is what it is man. Like Ovan says. "Welcome to the World."

Also just a quick reminder, but the Population really isn't there. Ir-regardless of the past, people have mostly moved on from the .Hack franchise. G.U was & still is a divisive game(s) that many only really like cause it had outstanding voice acting along with an excellent OST, coupled with a decent* not great but not bad story. Not to mention right now, many have been rebooting old franchises to capitalize on nostalgia, which has led to a bit of a rebuke from fandom's who are over-saturated by nostalgia. & finally that gameplay. That gameplay though. Wolf. It has not aged well, thats all i'll say.

Life isn't easy in general all the time for anyone I know the state of every. I have heard some of those source code claims as well to. Though that's not really a excuse you could say. its not like things haven't been done from scratch before. Sure i understand the cost and time of it to.. At the moment I just find those as claims unless they say that it is true that's the case. Same time you cant disregard that CyberConnect2 WANTS to do more with .HACK. You may think I'm being unrealistic though I'm not. I am remaining positive hopeful with enough fan push and CyberConnect2 wanting to do more with the games the series that they will cave in and listen instead of Bandai either doing the same stuff or driving a series into the ground in a way like they are starting to do with Sword Art Online!!! Would be even better if CyberConnect2 could get all the rights or some place like Falcom instead of Bandai!
