Announcement on February 12's state of play, I can feel it...although it won't be exclusive.
comcept fucking died and probably alongside the source code
>>732722714I'd be so happy to play this again.
>>732722884Comcept only gave "concepts", all the programming was done by Marvelous with the help of Japan Studio.
>>732722714What is this?
>>732722714please don't get my hopes up
>>732722714The state of play will last 60 minutes, enough time for loads of announcements...but let's face it, 80% of that time will be wasted in live service movie games, didn't Concord take half of the state of play where it was fully revealed?
>>732722714somehow even less likely than a bloodborne pc port
>>732723817Its "sister" game got a remaster out of the nowhere, they need to remaster SS too or it would feel wrong.
>>732722714PS5 exclusive HD remaster.Would play all over againLiterally best story telling in all of gaming
>>732724354>Exclusive Nah, Sony knows that "small fry" IPs they own will do much better as multiplats from the very start, only "movie games" must be exclusive...with a PC port one year later.
>>732722884Comcept didn't own the source code, scam man only came out with the basic idea and marvelous made the game.
>>732722714Guess it's not impossible. Sony did greenlight that Freedom Wars remaster for some fucking reason.
>>732725578and that sold like shit.
>>732725619Yes, but let's be honest. As good as Soul Sacrifice is, would a remaster sell any better?
>>732725578Its original director begged for it which makes me think the only way we can get a SS remaster is if scam man helps.
>>732725756Which is why I doubt it'll be made.
Nah, give me freedom wars 2 first.
>>732725769The original director begged to do the remaster and it didn't even get finished the second time around either? That's pretty gay.
>>732722714I fucking wishhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThJ5_smk134
>>732726036LMAO, the first one was even "complete".
>>732726036You didn't buy the remaster of the first, you don't deserve it.
>>732726740I like this one betterhttps://youtu.be/jWqjdsnpetE
>>732722714Game unironically has too much soul for modern Sony.
>>732728387That's why they will make it multiplatform without second thoughts.
If they could have done Freedom Wars AND Soul Sacrifice, why would they have chosen to do Freedom Wars first? Isn't Soul Sacrifice the bigger draw?
>>732722714>Sortiara>is a sorceressBravo, Tolkien.
>>732722714I remember this fat guy you can help that loves money, at one point he randomly says something among the lines of "if everyone were rich, then monsters wouldn't exist...". That line hit me hard man.
>>732729772ah my nigga Carnatux he made some heavy social commentary, even calling you a good wage slave for getting lost in detailswhat a great dudehad the pic saved somewhere
Babes
>>732722714I mean, it has good graphics, but its boring to play with. The VN like plot starts too melodramatically as well. Should I give it another chance? I have a working Vita laying around in my room
>>732722714SSD+,Gravity Rush 3, Natural Doctrine 2, and Valhalla Knights 4
>>732730298Ragnarok Odyssey 2
>>732730298>Valhalla KnightsI remember playing this on the PSP and that game was terrible. I remember they even gave it out for free it was so bad.
>>732722714This game accomplished what Crapcom keep trying to forced into mainline MH: having a good plot.
Freedom Wars made it happen, I will hold out hope until the fated day.
>>732730298All those happen but none of them are exclusives.
>>732722714that would require sony to give a shit about the japanese games they published
>>732733210Anon, Freedom Wars.
>>732722714Games people might like to play don't appear at Absolute State of Play. Here's a leaked spoiler list for you;>Two extraction shooters nobody ever asked for that look worse than chink gachas but have a $300m budget>Demasters of old games that are worse than the originals, accompanied by a delisting of the originals from all storefronts>Some DLC for shitty AAAs you never enjoyed like Borderlands 4 or something>A fifteen minute deep dive segment on Call of Duty or some other shit you didn't want>Twelve indie games starring minorities, at least six of them being walking simulators>A bunch of boring shit barely worth taking a piss break for>Ports>Maybe, if you're lucky, a four minute trailer for an actually good game (only fifteen combined seconds of new footage throughout)
>>732733570Come on anon, don't be that negative.
>>732735674Sorry, you understand I've been burned out by years and years of disappointments. I don't even tune into Absolute States any more and just catch the headlines. I'd be delighted if Soul Sacrifice got something, don't get me wrong, but if 100% of them have been lame and gay so far, I'd be stupid not to expect the next one to be lame and gay too.
>>732724354>PS5 exclusive HD remasterPS4/Switch/Steam, as usual.
>>732739075But switch 1 or switch 2?
So why did the localization "de-Arthurified" the plot anyways?
>>732739648>The Arthurian mythos references have been veiled in the US and EU releases due to some areas of Europe still treating the mythos as Serious Business, hence Nimue's name change to Sortiara and Merlin's to Magusar.Europe was a bitch.
>Everyone and their mom wanted FW remastered>It became real>pleasebuysowecanmakefreedomwars2.jpg>nobody buys>it diesyou fags are the samefuck you
>>732730356>>732730298Our of all the monhun clones on vita, my personal fav was PSnovaRagnarok odd was a close second
Half of the absolute state of play will be marathon wanking because the game launches soon, and 15 minutes will be shilling for that shitty capeshit fighting game
>>732742180>>Everyone and their mom wanted FW remasteredNo I didn't. I pirated the remaster, it felt like shit to play. Alt-tabbed to a thread about it with some anon saying it's from the same devs as God Eater and I uninstalled it right then and there. No suprise it flopped just like GE, they're awfully terrible games
>>732742180We wanted a Delta version with added content like what Soul Sacrifice and Ragnarok got. A remaster was fine but you're still remastering an unfinished game.
>>732742325>GEWhat was that again?
>>732722714IMAGINED IF THIS GOT A REMASTERI would kill to experience this againhttps://youtu.be/ThJ5_smk134?si=EpRALVDPu1hwT4k9
Soul Sacrifice but I feel like there was a huge lack of diversity in the terms of character builds. Played the game a lot but found myself using the same stuff a lot because nothing else seemed as useful.
>>732725578https://store.steampowered.com/app/3004100/FREEDOM_WARS_Remastered/>60% off already>mixed reviews What happened?
>overworld was a cockroach infested cage full of your own excrement>nothing to do but read excerpts from the evil talking flesh grimmoir as his past becomes your past and you share in the same belligerent insanity that caused him to mutate in the first placegood timesthe best even
>>732724223>game gets a port after over a decadeNice!>but Scamco is the bird that picked at the corpseFUCK
>>732742224>Our of all the monhun clones on vita, my favorites were the PSO2 clonesYeah I wish we had at least half as many PSO/U/O2 clones as we do monhun clones. Giant bosses are cool and all, but I like mobbing too.I ultimately liked FW more than ROA, but then I also liked SAOFB more than FW.
>>732742180Freedom Wars was always ass cheeks and I'm tired of people pretending that game was good because it was maybe the last decent profile game launched for the VitaIt's made by the God Eater devs, who fucking suck. I've tried every single one of those GE games and disappointed every time.FW is also just a time wasting mess>spend hours going through these missions to kill useless moobs who aren't difficult before we maybe throw a fun fight at you
Man I really wish they revive Ragnarok Odyssey. Ace content got gutted after they shutdown the servers
>>732742180>Bandai>EACI'd rather just boot up my Vita again, honestly.
>>732742224I had a lot of fun with this one. Post game was kicking my ass though. Some missions were retarded like "beat X monster in under 2 minutes".
>>732722884Comcept was literally just ideas guys.
>>732742180What was the problem with the remaster?
>>732722714We are in the gay timeline, bro, it will not happen, CERN jews are not going to change this timeline only for one game, are they?
>changed the arthurian names to something else because they didn't want to offend british peoplei mean i don't really care that much since it's not like it really impacted the story but very odd choice
>>732722714Don't toy with my feelings.
>>732730159my beautiful short haired wife
>>732722714this should be brought to the PC in a proper port, cool concept and atmosphere. it was probably my fav Vita game. i also remember the stories hitting me right in the feels
>>732723330a ''''monster hunter clone''''but in all truth more likely closer to god eater/freedom wars in being a watered down diluted version of mon hun.and i say this having emjoyed god eater3 and freedom wars hd.But they are not monster hunter, nor a replacement for it, which is ASS MONKEYS BECAUSE THE SERIES DIED WITH GENS FUCK YOU CAPCOM
has anyone tried this?
>>732722714awesome! that's the only game i still want to play on the vita. too bad i gave my vita away. and i played tokiden and freedom wars on it.
>>732733485a thing sony gave so little shits aboiut they pawned it to bamco after being begged for years, refused to allow the game to be finished again and let it be multiplat day 1.his point stands. someone ould need to beg sony to make it again
Only reason to buy something like this is to enjoy multiplayer again. I can just play the game normally otherwise.
>>732739591probably switch1 since there's no way they make it more intense than freedomwars.plus they'll need to maximize sales.>>732740272>due to some areas of Europe still treating the mythos as Serious Business,Funny, but good on them for still respecting and caring for their culture.
>>732742180niggerfuck youI pulled this bitchin ass green sniper from a basic sinner on some 3 or 4* quest and used it all game.then stuck to the small swords because the ripping/grinding mechanic is pretty fucking rad.FW has cool ideas, it's just so unfinished and shallow.
>>732743698MY FUCKING HEROLoki
>>732742224>import the game>later on an english patch comes out>I'm now sitting on a japanese copy i don't needCould be worse, I suppose. Oh wait it did get worse>import Ar No Surge Plus on Switch>english patch comes out that I can't apply to my switch, as it isn't modded>might as well just pirate the shit now>>732747717Is that a chainsaw sniper? Also, that remaster was a bit pricey, wasn't it?
>>732742180Freedom Wars was always massively overrated.
>>732742224I need more games like this, SAO Fractured Daydream and Granblue Fantasy Relink so badly. Barely anybody makes boss battles like these anymore.
>>732747945it was only $40 bucks from memory.If $40 is '''pricey''' to you be less poor holy shit.Such aside no.Freedom wars lets you bring two weapons with you on missions.My first weapons was a shortsword/dagger, which is styled like a chainsaw...which is why I chose it cause those are based. with lightning element I think.Then a sniper rifle as my second weapon.And somehow pulled a tier2 weapon out a low rank common enemy and just used it all game long. Is great fun.Freedom Wars is pretty good, it's just so blatantly half made and should have been given a proper dev cycle for the remaster.
>>732722714>delta's ending builds up to a sequel>sequel gets cancelled fuck sony
>>732750283>>delta's ending builds up to a sequelWas it? I remember the ending was essentially fixing the timeline loop continuously perpetuated by the chalice.
>>732748598I think the last year patch improves the rifle to have more ammo and added stagger. The one that got a bit of a nerf is the Bazooka that reduces the blast range and a bit of power.The rebalance patch at least made severing pretty fast now, and grinding for mats for rank 8 - 10 can now be bought from the fraternity shop so you won't need to grind for retribution mission like before.
>>732751061the chalice shattered but the creator still remains. both of the new endings hinted at something greater to comesacrifice ending>but the memories remained. memories that hint at the true form of this world. the visions were dizzying. the foes we faced were only a tiny glimpse into the creatorsave>while the will of the creator dwelled within him, magusar sometimes saw visions. that the battles that he fought were only a small window into the battles to come. that in the distant future, madness would once again cloud the world.
>>732747416no and nobody ever will
>tfw sortiara
>>732742180I died so fast. Even towards the end of release month multiplayer was getting hard to join in on.
>>732747416>>732752364It seems like nobody should.
>>732752364probably the dumbest decision they couldve made>develop game>release it on a dying handheld>get some of the team back to make a spiritual successor>release it for a dying medium
>>732754059>a developer has responded
>>732722714Don't get my hopes up.
>>732755126I wonder what they said.
>>732759749I can bet you it was generic corpo speak"We are sorry you are feeling this way and are looking to make our product more enjoyable for a wider audience of people very soon"
>>732722714I will rape you in your sleep if this is bait, this game, along with Freedom Wars and HN:PP made having a Vita worth it. I'll buy the shit out of a port and pre-order the shit out of a remaster.
>>732722714I rather doubt it, but I'd be delighted if it were the case.
>>732752364Is the story and music as good as SS? Should I buy it?
>>732722714You know it won't happen, especially after FWR's sales were lukewarm at best
>>732722714Wasn't this the only game that scam man produced after leaving Capcom that wasn't a massive failure?
No fucking way scam man was related in any meaningful way to Soul Sacrifice.
>>732762132It's true, he was the game's designer and concept creator. He actually had a decent game up his sleeve, but no one heard about it because it was on Vita.
>>732762198Has anyone on the development team given an interview or said something about what working on SS was like?
>>732762132Scam man can honestly have good ideas but he needs someone "sane" to guide those ideas into something possible. He is like Naruto's creator, at the beginning of Naruto he had bullshit ideas but he had a very good editor that hammered those ideas into something good, what you get when the guy is given full reigns without an editor to control him? Samurai 8, what is Samurai 8? EXACTLY.
>>732762040YesWhich is really funny to me because I love Soul Sacrifice and hate MN9
>>732722714For the best. i know you snoyheads love your "exclusives", but the only way most people can even play SSD these days is by emulating it through Vita3K, and not everyone is willing to do that.
>>732762806People memory holed Samurai 8, it was so bad.
>>732722714What makes this game special?
>>732767604An extremely cool magic system, cool aesthetics, decent bossfights, surprisingly great characters and writing (which got kinda butchered by lolcalizers)
>>732722714why would you want to be exclusive
>>732769342I don't.
>>732751643sounds like a great update. I might go back for a bit one day.Severing is one of the coolest fucking things and most weapons should do it.
>>732765080worse than burrito?come on
>>732770449Boruto at least wasn't cancelled.
>>732722714don't do this...don't give me hope...
>>732770374>Why did no one buy freedom warsLook at your own webm.
>>732724354poor Sortiara :(
>>732729772Carnatux's story was pure unadulterated KINO
ok what actually is this game? From everything I've seen in the thread it's just a bunch of uncs crying about the good ol days
>>732772129You hunt mosters and read a lotSome guy printed all the game's journal stories and it's 500 pages long
is the vita emulation good yet?I don't want to play it with poopy framerate on my PSTV and I'd rather transfer my save
>>732722714This game is too good for modern gaming. Normiecucks don't deserve it. At least we know it's still respected and honored by Japanese developers, Fromsoftware filled Elden Ring and especially Elden Ring Nightreign with Soul Sacrifice references.
>>732762806you will never be an editor, pablo
>>732772129God eater but instead of being a dog shit game with a cringe weebshit world and story it has good gameplay and the setting is fucked up fairytales and you play as a wizard and you fight using a wide assortment of spells, that can combine into something greater.The catch? They're limited use and you need to sacrifice souls to restore uses, which is basically carving in MH.But your character also has a morality stat that changes depending on what you sacrifice. You can sacrifice allies as well as slain monsters.Magic is engraved on your bodyYou can perform insane spells, but they come at the cost of your arm, leaning you lose the spell slots on that arm
>>732772363>Fromsoftware filled Elden Ring and especially Elden Ring Nightreign with Soul Sacrifice references.bullshit. post proof
>>732742180I owned it on the vita. What it needed was an expansion like MH gets. Vanilla FW was fucking half baked crap, I wasn't going to dip in again for the same thing without any promise of a sequel or more content.
If if ever did get a remaster I hope they don't cuck the translation again and remove all the holy grail and King Arthur references.
>>732772363I've played an unhealthy amount of nightreign and havent noticed any. Let's hear it
>>732772970>>732772710ok, so you know how you play as a wizard in SS? Do I need to explain further?
>>732773582>wizard
>>732722714Based
>>732742180Freedom Wars wasn't good on Vita, there was a lot of hype for it, but it was a let down.
>>732772587I liked fate, but are you fucking yourself over build-wise with it?
>>732773875There are spells you can only use when you're good or evil and there are cosmetics locked behind morality thresholds
>>732776172does those unlocks stick for new game+?
>>732773875SS builds largely work on specific Save/Sacrifice threshold, in that case Fate is merely an RNG roll on whether you get Save or Sacrifice, there's no real reason to ever use it outside of the specific alignment function.Pretty much any build ratio is viable as long as you stick to the spell schools that benefit from it, Evil is still the strongest DPS by far if you don't mind dying in one hit, but neutral leaning builds have quite a few tricks up their sleeve with certain builds like Projectile builds.
Why did this game get lumped with all the other MH-likes when it literally has nothing similar other than the fact that you repeat instanced boss fights? MH-likes tier list (Gameplay Focused)Wild Hearts > Toukiden 2 > Toukiden 1 > Lord of Apocalypse > God Eater 2/1:RB > Ragnarok Odyssey Ace > God Eater 3 = God Eater 1= Freedom Wars (stretch calling it MH-like desu) > Final Fantasy Explorers > Dauntless (Alpha) > Lord of Arcana >>>>>>> Dauntless (whatever it was at the end)
>>732772970Raider's ult, Recluse's ult VFX, Recluse's gameplay in general, Tricephalos, the story being told via journals and remembrances, the map having plants/rocks you can touch to absorb their power
>>732778367>Why did this game get lumped with all the other MH-likes when it literally has nothing similar other than the fact that you repeat instanced boss fights?Because that is literally the most basic thing you do in MH: fighting a boss several times. If a game do that, is a "MH like", I know MH didn't invent it but is the most popular example of it. also your list is missing that Kirby game where you fight bosses non stop.
>>732778934>Because that is literally the most basic thing you do in MH: fighting a boss several times. If a game do that, is a "MH like",It has to tie into some sort of reasonably in-depth equipment and crafting systems otherwise this opens to door to fucking gacha games shit like DnF, and even faux-MMOs like Warframe.
>>732780982And you thing the average people cares about "details"?
>>732751779Wasn't the creator the Druid god? You fight him and his brother in a DLC fight, I think.
>>732778367I love these kinds of games, and I am eternally regretful that I didn't really put any time into them over Monster Hunter.
