I am betting on Vita game. Looks imo good. I just hope it is not another MH clone...

There has still yet to be a game in the hunting genre that can actually stand up to monster hunter in terms of depth with the combat system. Pretty much everything else up until now has just been button mashers.

Only reason why God Eater stood on its own is due to the fact it has an actual story and AI partners that work.

Thats the one thing missing from MH and actual story with characters that you give a rats ass about lol

If done right Id see the game selling big domestically (here in Japan), which truthfully is obviously the aim of the title seeing the graphical style already.
 
The numbers on the top of their head remind me of Death Note. Anyway, I think if these graphics are real, they are only capable on Ps4
 
If they make this a cross platform game with the VITA + home console that would be pretty big. Since would be awesome being able to work on your character on the go, then get home and continue on the big screen with improved graphics.

With how the cloud storage system works too its all quite possible, if done correctly of course. Hell even just transferring the data from the VITA to the home console works too.

You played Soul Sacrifice like a button masher? No wonder you thought the mechanics were horrible.
 
Looks frigging amazing but I have no idea what's going on. Great style.

I would bet Vita of PS3/Vita, there seems to be a certain Monster Hunter tone on it.
You're probably right on the platforms, but I'd really love for this to be on PS4 so that it can actually look like the trailer.

Did you play Soul Sacrifice?

All attacks are limited in number, so mashing buttons = broken = wasting tears to repair.

Unless you have the JP version, had the game before most folks and after spending a good enough time in it sold it back due to being garbage once again.

Game most def was rushed. No intention to pick it up and play again due to already having enough experience with the game mechanics and horrible AI. Damned shame considering good story and monster design for the bosses.

Yeah, nothing you said has led me to believe that.
 
Music reminds me of Harry Gregson-Willams' work.

Looks kind of interesting, but I'm not sure what to make of that trailer.
 
looks like everyone has a 6 digit number but their number changes, and that new born baby in the end is 1,000,000! I'm guessing it's the population of living humans! you see in one scene the number is dropping rapidly, I'm guessing people born before that guy are dying or something.

sounds like another anime, 1 million thing that is! :P
 
You're probably right on the platforms, but I'd really love for this to be on PS4 so that it can actually look like the trailer.

Yep that would awesome but i guess we going to have to wait on a GUST or a Tales game.
Which most likely might not going to even look as good .
 
Recent tendencies in japan and the fact that we see different characters assaulting a big monster gives me the feeling this is, again, an unplayable community hack and slash for psp -_-
 
It would be awesome if it's for PS4.

A new IP that looks awesome, from Japan studios, for the new gen... that hypes me more than all the shooters combined.


But I don't want to create false expectations, looks to be a PS3 (or PSVita) title.

Yeah... could it mean hours left to live by chance? That would make the baby's life expectancy about 114 years. It seems to be set in the future so that wouldn't be improbable I guess.

Anyway, looks like an action game of some sort... My first instinct is MonHun clone, but there seems to be more to it.

My idea was that it's a countdown of remaining lifetime.

Man if this really ends up a PS4 game I think I would actually feel bad for Japan studio to be honest....
Why? If it looks like the trailer it would be easily on par with what you can expect next-gen stylized games to look like.

Yeah, what I want it to be is a PS4 exclusive JRPG. What it probably is is a Vita monster hunting game (a genre I have no interest in).
 
Brand new SCEJ game? Very interesting, I wonder which team is behind it?
It reminds me of God Eater more than Monster Hunter, and the art style is a little bit like SMT.

Thats what I'm hoping. It does have a god eater vibe though.
 
Definitely low bar.
Again, I don't see it. The assets and IQ in the trailer are both more or less perfect. What else would you expect from a next-gen stylized game? This reminds me of some people's negative reaction to Fortnite as an UE4 showcase.
 
Cautiously interested. I'm with people there hoping that this is either Vita or PS4. PS3 is fuckin packed with Sony Japan titles with Puppeteer, Gran Turismo 6 and Rain.

Please don't be Team Siren game tho. I need Gravity Rush 2 :(.
 
Interesting seems like the good guys have a monster of their own...that shoots a lot of missiles lol

Yeah Im not so sure. I personally think people are going to expect better than this for next-gen games. Putting this next to stuff like Killzone, Second Son, etc is only going to make it look that much worse in many peoples eyes. It also shows how far behind Japan Studio is Vs Sonys many other studiis from a tech standpoint.

The baby did have the highest number right? And the numbers were always counting down.

Gives me hope that this will be something more than a simple hunting game. Especially with all th camera stuff and all

You should not put too much hopes in that...

After seeing the GT6 announce, I don't know what Sony is thinking. It wouldn't surprise me at all if, finally, it's a PSP (not even for Vita) title.
Awesome games, new titles, but completely out of time.

Yeah the baby did, so it was either the newest born citizen or has the biggest 'timer' before death.

If they are timer's on life itself it'd be interesting it the main story line is fought over many generations where the new child is born with the skills of the parents eventually making you more and more powerful.

-OR- Every person who plays this game is 'born' and it could be something like the Pawn System from Dragon's Dogma where you're identified by your number.

Are you saying stylised art design has no place in next gen because it doesn't look as good as more realistic designs?
 
Wow. What did I just watch? First I thought it was a jRPG, then it looked open world, then it looked like an mmo, then an action game. And time travel being used? Also, is this for PS3? Unless that was a CG trailer, those are nice looking graphics.

Sleeper hit like Valkyrie Chronicles?
 
If all that was realtime then no way it's a Vita title, just compare this to Soul Sacrifice, the difference is huge. Not even Killzone looks this good. Maybe the PS3 could pull this off but i dunno, the monsters look pretty detailed.
