.hack//Versus announced for PS3 (Fighting game + CG film)

[SSJScygoku]

@o@ The OST for Versus is shown here along with the track list: http://www.hack.channel.or.jp/hybrid/news/

Glad they finally show the cover,must've not been able till these 8 were announced lol Still hoping for more

[Tolby]

Is one of those tracks, Hitohira? My incredibly limited reading from just importing games.. track 2?


If those are the only 8 playable it better be a good reason, like them being the phases. Though with Tokio being 9 you'd think there would be at least one other with Tokio being Mr. Special.

With June 28th just around the corner I don't think they will be announcing any more characters before they release this pack, but I think they will do what they did with Ultimate Ninja Storm 1 and release more characters as free or cheap DLC in the next few months. The reason why they only have 8 characters is probably due to lack of space caused by the movie and the game being on one disc. Even though Blu ray discs can have up to 50GB of space the movie can sap up a lot of that space if it isn't compressed, the game as well. Hopefully they will announce DLC characters or else this pack, although amazing for a hybrid pack, will seem kind of lackluster when compared to the other games in the series.

cmiw, I want to take a wild guess... is David could be related to pluto kid? *run before bricked

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought it

[(Phantom) Thief]

^ you noticed too huh? LOL

i have a feeling this is gonna be dark story (well, most of .hacks are...)
I can't understand what is 9 saying, but I suspect there's regret or guilt in his tone...

thanks k-su and Phantom thief, these made my day

Maybe. I always wanted them to have a series for Plutoś Kiss and the Original Project G.U. era. The kid who committed the crime is suppose be dead but hey look at Harald. Also CC2 can throw in ALTIMIT XXXX and Emma Wielant too. I'll even bet bet the old lady from Thantos is the leader of Mama and her at the same time. As for characters there are two more announcements for Versus, one on the 20th and another update on the 23rd. Everyone lets hope for some news. I have never worked with DLC but if its there I hope the content is not on disc.

yeah, Hitohira is track 2

eh? Pluto Kid is supposed to be dead? This is the first time I heard about it.
About the old lady, you're voicing my thought!

If we want to make even wilder guess, The woman with silver hair on latest trailer could be Lara Hoewick. I wonder about the fate of Jyotaro Amagi. If Lara, Jyotaro, and 9 met, band of doublewares will be there. Too wild?

This would be really cool!

[k-su]

Hahaha! For a moment I posted this in the wrong thread.

New Videos: Ovan and Tsukasa gameplay. Ovan is so badass and its interesting seeing Tsukasa's style now. I haven't played the games in awhile due to backlog, so it feels nostalgic and awesome hearing him call out the different spells. Vak Dom!

Tsukasa:

[Kuukai]

Wait, who are we talking about? The founder of Altimit? She's way too old and not named Lara to be Lara...

[VirusCoreS]

@k-su
wow! OVan is so cool!
Tsukasa is probably the only character that doesn't sounds too happy as a winner

@kuukai
no no, i mean, the woman on 03:37-03:38 with blue eyes and tan skin (now she looks like BR)
and possible 03:34 in the middle.

[Kuukai]

You mean Eleanor? She's from the movie, she's David's partner. Her first appearance was in the teaser at the end of Link, but it was voice only and I think it was a different voiceactress.

You can see more about her if you go to http://www.hack.channel.or.jp/themovie/ and About the movie->Characters & cast

[VirusCoreS]

oh? that was her name??
Thanks for clearing that up

[(Phantom) Thief]

Eleanor & David will die or get injured just calling it. Also Virus Core S information for Pluto's Kiss is a pain to find but if you check some of older .hack timeline maybe from the games or the forms in the games it lists that person behind Pluto's Kiss was a 10 year old elementary kid. Moreover I rechecked the information. There was another incident called Deadly Flash where the person was executed for the creation of a virus.

Pluto's Kiss 2005
Deadly Flash Pre-2005

New News:

I managed to catch the end of the livestream for the Hybrid Collection this morning. I didn't see too much, but There was a one round Sakuya vs Sora match, but the stream kept going out and the guy playing Sora kept spamming assist moves, so I can't really say much of Sakuya's gameplay. It was nice to see a competitive match, rather than the videos we have from before. They also showed off the contents of the hybrid pack's The World Edition. Piroshi was clowning around as usual, wearing a paper Kite hat and wave marks on his cheeks. I laughed when he pulled out his own bluray case and revealed he had copy of Asura's Wrath inside instead of the movie. I think this is a brief summary from Famitsu
http://www.famitsu.com/news/201206/20016645.html

In other news, the trophies have been revealed and from what I got out of google translate, they are pretty standard
http://exophase.com/game/hackversus-ps3/trophies/

Lastly, there apparently will be a Tekken crossover and there is talk online of possible DLC.

Edit: They are also doing something for .hack's 10th Anniversary and are doing a countdown to the hybrid's release, with a guest artist's work every day till

I think they're doing another poll as well over at the CC2 site. So far, Haseo is #1, followed by Matsu in second and Sakuya in third
http://www.cc2.co.jp/cgi-bin/hack_10th_enq/msgenq.cgi

July Comptiq 2012 has a manga related to the movie. I think it's called Last Scene. It looks like an epilogue featuring Tokio. There is also a Piroshi interview. There's a few scans in the link

I'll leave the links for those kind hearted individuals well versed in moon to give a proper translation.

Everyone appreciates the update. Here is an explanation from the bottom up. The manga is called .hack//SORA: BEYOND THE WORLD. The Last Scene is a July piece of the comic. Meanwhile the link at CC2 is another popularity poll. Individuals choose a nominee and the top character will receive a special art for .hack's 10th anniversary. (Gonna recheck this) As for the live stream I am guessing there should be copy at U-Stream or Nico Nico Video. Also the second link for the Tekken announce mentions that there is a collaboration of some sort. But nothing talked of yet. I think they were playing together during the stream.

EDIT: There is a reshow of the stream today. Maybe someone can catch it. (Another art update)

I read this entire thread to catch up......I lost control of my eyes.

[k-su]

Awesome. Thanks for the lowdown (Phantom) Thief. Also for the next guest art. I couldn't find it for the life of me. Probably just error'd out on me. The trophies seem to lock in our current 8 as the main cast, though that could always change with dlc (just no dlc trophies plz). The Tekken collab idea is really interesting me. Not just for the fanservice, but seeing how far they'll push the content for the game. I know CC2 isn't the kind to be stingy, so who knows what sort of bounty they may lay on us with this game. I was also wondering if there was a time listed for when they'd be doing the stream again?

[Tolby]

I hate Haseo so damn much. A thousand votes already? Really? How many 12 year old girls does Japan have?

Also where is the page for these art things?

[SSJScygoku]

^_^ they are here http://www.hack.channel.or.jp/hybrid/archive/

For "The World" edition you get 25 jacket-posters but you only get to see 7 which are the game covers (unless another 7 is on the back of those). Wonder what the others are,hoping its artwork for each of the characters from Versus and large groups of characters

I'm upset Alkaid wasn't even on the poll list. OUT OF 100 characters?!?! Clearly this is the work of 12 year old girls.
