ZZZ is trash
>>1713461Well yeah but that's not really news
>>1712210it's pretty dry right nowguess we will see if any game gets an update during the iicon event in late april
I NEED MORE INFO ON ANANTA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
>>1712210>Your chars can hitchhikeI just hope I can also carjack NPC's in this one. No way in hell I can ignore a fancy ass sports car at a red light.
>>1715697Doubt that, i bet it'd be similar to LA Noire.
>>1715697the workaround to that is you're playing as some special agent working on uncovering a supernatural phenomenon, so you get to "jack" cars by showing the citizen your special boy license and they get out to let you steal their carpretty sure you can see that in the newest trailer
>>1712210broadcast on 26th
>>1712210floatopia has acquired publishing license
>>1715832oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiit, been looking forwards to this one
>>1715832Still no news on Global right? I think global will only come next year...
>>1715838this will be coming to the switch toohilariousmaybe nintendo will get up their lazy butts and put effort into animal crossing this time?
3D autobattler gacha Regulus -The Advent- has launched in the Philippines. Developed by Thai developer Jumbo Jumps in collaboration with Japanese television network TV Tokyo.
Senran Kagura New Link will end its service in may 30 after seven yearshttps://www.hpgames.jp/shinomas/finale.php
>>1720586>The IP died for consoles because of Sony being cancer as usual.>The gacha is dead now as wellWell shit, what are they left with now?
>>1720722Senran Kagurun, a Temple Run clone
>>1720722Hey now at least it's not a zombie like neptunia
New character post from Star Savior.https://x.com/StarSavior_EN/status/1906541968571900136She's in the Project Star trailer for a really short time.
>>1723277(me)With this it's still a few characters left like
>>1723278(me)I hope they improve this character model. I'm sure that this is one of the earliest character
>>1723280(me)
>>1723282(me)Imagine that they don't backpedal their decision. They're almost releasing couple/shipped character
>>1723283(me)I think this will be the next character they're posting
>>1723285And here's the last character. It looks like there are 6 characters left. They're posting news around 3-4 days. So it's at least 24 days. And this is before we count lore post or if there's new characters. So I think it'll be around 2 months. I really hope that there won't be a CBT and they'll just release it as it is. Though CBT is kind of important, especially about monetization, gacha currency+rate, and game balance. Though considering that they're releasing this year, I suppose they still can conduct one CBT.
You would have thought that Ananta would have stocked up more stuff to advertise with more consistently or at least spread what they had out some more. It's been months of silence. At this rate people will start saying it's dead again.
>>1725952Because it's still incomplete. Especially if they want to revamp the combat. I think expecting them to release the game in 2026 is still overly optimistic.
>>1712210I'm wondering why they need some of these permissions. Dunno where else to post. Anyone have a good idea about permissions? I understand access to storage is to save the game or to upload a profile pic but I'm unsure of stuff like >download files without notification
>6days between repliesLmfao what's the point in this board?
>>1725952I really hope we see SOMETHING about Ananta again, soon. It's a little worrying that we only get news once a year.>>1726315>generals aren't allowed on the mobile game board, when 99% of the apps that generate discussion would create a general anywayBeats me. Just another board that was made when one of the mods/admins threw a fit over Project Moon threads on /v/.
>>1726315the more important question is, what's the point of your life? You seem to have nothing to do other than checking 4chan every second.
>>1726770>every secondI pop on in the morning for a few hours. Then cycle through the tabs I've opened. I kept this one open specifically so i could come and have a look in the morning. How do you use 4chan? Open the tab, then fuck off for a week and then remember to reply? My life is about making everything better. >>1726763Too many trannies as jannies ruined the place.
>>1726315it's just that there's barely any news on games, plus /vg/ exists to discuss most phone-pc cross-platform gamesthis is good for discussing upcoming games like mugen or roco, but the board dries up quickly during content droughtswell, aside from the esl gacha drama generals
>>1723283Isn't that MC alt or was he a separate char before the change?
>>1726315Most of the schizos and retards stay in /vg/ so every now and then you can discuss things here.
any new gachas? i just wanna be a day1 guy

>>1728048I'm not seeing any general for the game What's up with that
>>1729097not everything gets a general
>>1729098But I want to talk about the game
>>1729108tough luck
>>1729108Go to /mobage/ in /jp/? There are threads for this kind of stuff, or stop being an insufferable faggot and bake yourself.
>>1729097>>1729108there's a thread up here on /vmg/
>>1728721luckily it seems like its only male mc. lets hope it stays that way
I know why they do it, but I wish more gachas would give their MC a real personality, at least a little. Give me something more of an antihero rather than the usual copy paste guy.
>>1730460Stfu. Read a book if you want to read a story. Game is for interactive media, meaning MC should be blank slate or have the options to choose his/her personality.
>>1730463I'm sure this sounded smarter in your head, MLtard.
>>1730714>Can't argue for shitNice try, tranny.
Don't play gacha? Play whatever normalfags play if you want emcee with a semblance of a personality.
Apparently Stix said on some stream that he and some other people got contacted over Ananta sponsored videos from Netease. Increases the odds that it's coming this year if true.I've seen no proof of this for the record and I don't feel like crawling through his shit to find it.
>>1730915>look at channelI'll just wait for Ananta to put something out, then...
>>1730928Yeah that's why I'm not looking at that shit. Seems like another obnoxious clickbait shill. Not worth it.
Stix is that YTguy who talks a whole lot of nothing in order to extend his vids byd 10 mins for monetization. Reminds me of Yawnyea.
Supposed leaker info, not entirely trustworthy. It does line up with what some anons have been saying about Ananta though due to them getting their license earlier this year.>Neverness to Everness: 2025>Ananta: End of 2025>Arknights Endfield: End of 2026>Azur Promilia: Middle/Late 2026
>>1735982>>Arknights Endfield: End of 2026Huh til. I thought endfield will release on end of 2025, not 2026, based on the fans hype.
>>1730937He doesn't even download some games he makes videos about.I remember some of his "GAMENAME IN 2025" it's just him scrolling through news, forums and posts with some old video footage.
>>1736122It'll only release end of 2025 if Arknights revenue falls too much, otherwise it'll be 2026.
>>1735982How many of these games will actually be able to maintain hype until release?
>>1735982>Arknights Endfield: End of 2026Impossible. Nobody will care by then.
>>1736241>NtE>AnantaNtE and Ananta are very similar, so for those two it comes down to which comes out first. If the one that comes out first manages to instantly bomb really badly and then the second one can manage to be better enough it stands out by comparison it'll be handed the other games players, effectively poaching the other companies marketing budget since players that heard about only the first game may get recommended and moved into the second. My bet is NtE coming out first but being really bland and boring, then Ananta comes out and is much better, giving them NtE's popularity.>ArknightsTheir fans are fucking weird, so they'll probably maintain hype all by themselves. Don't know about attracting new players though.>APlel
>>1736241the hype won't die yet until 2 or so of them release since there's still no other competitive AAA anime gacha besides hoyoshit and wuwa
>Ananta News>Rumor: First test on 5/20, paid test at year-end, open beta during Chinese New Year (to catch the winter vacation). NetEase is under big financial pressure this year.>NetEase should be under a lot of financial pressure this year. Many of their games have underperformed/been delayed. How will they manage without new hit games? Infinite Ananta is expected to launch within the year.>CN image provided
>>1738743So they're rushing the game? That doesn't seem like a good thing.
>>1738743Nah, doesn't make sense. It costs money to get another release permit and if they're trying to rush it to make money they wouldn't be doing tests at the end of the year, they'd be releasing it.>NetEase should be under a lot of financial pressure this year. Many of their games have underperformed/been delayed.Don't think that's true either. Marvel Rivals alone is a massive success for them which should take a lot of pressure off of them. If they were under pressure you'd be able to see it through Rivals being very predatory in their monetization since it'd have proven player numbers they could try to suck dry. Their eyes would be on Rivals, not unreleased games.>First test on 5/20At least it'll be easy to see whether it's bullshit or not soon.
>>1738743It seems like for Netease 520 event it seems like Ananta is not included for the event, so this information is inaccurate. Netease would talk about other games like Eggy, Yanyun, and more in the event
they'll need to get their shit together quickly otherwise no one's gonna play bland gachaslop that will pale in comparison to gta 6 releasing in the first half of next yearespecially no one in the countries outside east asian paying markets that matter like us, canada
Seems like there is another rumor that broke out over at xiaohongshu >Verified by Chinese community that the user is indeed an insider from YanYun (Netease Game) community.>EN translation:墨染墨攻墨守◎ (OP): (Replying to 「 」) An insider from the Yan Yun [community/game]. Their information has always been quite accurate.>CN:「」: 回复 墨染墨攻墨守 ◎:这又哪看的墨染墨攻墨守 ◎楼主: 回复「」:隔壁燕云的舅舅,消息一向挺准确的「」: 回复 墨染墨攻墨守 ◎:什么时候的消息>image provided is a translation from xiaohongshu>take a grain of salt

any news on ananta?
>>1746156None. Returned to radio silence, presumably to release this year.
>>1746211no cbt and release this year?isnt that a bad idea?
>>1746213They did a technical test earlier, but no beta no. According to """leaks""" they're going for a December release so presumably they may do a CBT somewhere in summer if you trust those leaks. According to the technical test it was already pretty good though, they just criticized the combat.How good an idea that is remains to be seen. They may just be planning on forcing the devs out of mini development hell to sink or swim at this rate.
Also Tribe Nine EOS'd. It lasted nine months.
>>1746217>they just criticized the combatThe japanese guy who put on an honest review were told to cut so many stuff deemed problematic by the devs so i refuse to believe combat is the only aspect that is lacking from the game.
>>1746217I'm hoping there's some beta test news soon. NTE is putting out pre-reg already and I want to give them both a shot.>>1746224It's tough, I liked that game. Bullshit launch aside.It's 7 months though, barely missed the 3 month mark by a day and is spending the next 4 months in EoS mode. It sucks even more knowing that it will exist in this zombie mode for longer than it was alive for.
>>1746515I'm not so sure about NTE. I think they look way too much like they went with a straight Urban Genshin look, even the UI looked the same. Ananta seems like they had a bit more of a unique direction which I think will serve them and impress players better.
>>1746773Hard to say that when Ananta hasn't shown actual gameplay.
>>1746773There's rumors NTE used AI and it looks like it. The characters look like vtuber rejects.
>>1747387Ironically this recycled criticism is less creative than any AI.
2D autobattler RPG "Terbis" has started recruitments for its upcoming CBT in Japan and Korea (no news on their global Twitter). Very E7-like in terms of presentation. One of the only few gachas with a playable male MC that can do class changes.
>>1713461>>1713496YOU SHALL KILL YOURSELF.
>>1712210Jump King released on mobile just recently. I guess that's news.
>>1747393It looks like shit, bro
>>1749790so your opinion is shit?even the ananta discord think the nte character looks great and waiting for ananto to update their model too

Mirren Star LegendsTurn based gacha just released today
>>1751624>CrunchyrollGrim
>>1751640What's bad about them?
>>1751640Fucking RIP.
>>1735982>>1736122>>1736209No way Endfield is releasing so late, end of 2026 is way too much. End of 2025 to early 2026 is much more realistic.
>>1751662The question should be what is NOT bad about them.One of the absolutely scummiest companies out there for sure.
>>1751662Their main thing is localizing and publishing IP gachas for a quick cashgrab and then killing them off. They most notably killed off Priconne global, which was doing relatively well, on the main heroine's birthday
>>1752002It depends on how well Arknights is doing. Could be releasing anywhere from end of 2025 to end of 2026 depending on how much Hypergryph feels pressured.
>>1752229The longer you wait to release a product the more the excitement for it dies out. Hyperglyph should be aware of this. Their game looks gorgeous, but waiting until the end of 2026 to release would only be counterproductive. At that point it will be overshadowed by all the other similarly high effort gacha that are bound to release around that time as well.They are clearly ahead of them in development, wasting that advantage for a nonsensical reason like that is ridiculous.They are not going to sabotage the biggest investment they ever made just so they can MAYBE squeeze a few more drops out of Arknights.
>>1752229can you really be pressured for anything when every other big gacha still have no clear release dates at this moment, i mean zzz and wuwa released within short time spans just fine not mogging either players
>>1752264zzz and wuwa are direct competitors and each other's release being so close together has actively hurt each other's numbers. Even today those two games are constantly getting compared with each other.It's not a coincidence that ZZZ is the mihoyos worst performing game (not counting HI3 since it's old and before they booked in popularity). And wuwa is not performing all that amazing compared to what it could have most of the time.They are both still making a lot of money because there is a big enough market, but they are also clearly not doing the numbers they could have without one another.Things are going to be even worse for Arknights, especially if they wait more, the action gacha market is already very competitive, if they allow games like azure promilia or Anata to release before them, with silver palace releasing probably shortly after Arknights if they push for a late 2026 release, then the game is going to hurt MAJORLY because of it. It's just not a smart move for them to make unless the game is simply not ready.
>>1751624oh my fucking chub
>>1752289the "weapons" being basically cute girls is a nice change of pace
Mirren, this game is quite a called back to the classic era of gacha before 2020Post-Genshin gacha everything is so jaded, I hope Mirren 2.0 will success, for now I just enjoy this short nostalgic trip with Mirren 1
>>1753145How?
>>1753178the story, it's simple (also the broken English, lol)the aesthetics, it follows the classic fantasy standardgame is too niche, no wonder it's hard for it to compete with modern gacha, where everything must be trendy, dazzling or grandiose as much as possiblethe closest feeling when playing this is SoulTide, Alchemy Stars, etc.

there's gonna be some bilibili event on 11th next monthroco kingdom has posted about it, guess they will put out a release date (if the game is still releasing in 2025)
Why can't they just fucking release Endfield already, I just drop wuwa and in need of a decent replacement
>>1761911>SARoasis
>>1772614>I just drop wuwa and in need of a decent replacementYou too huh? What broke the camels back? I just burned out after anniversary. Still I wanna replace the vpid with something. Personally I wait for Ananta but if I feel desperate mayne I'll give NTE a try. Tho I don't like character designs that much. They give them all a lot of black, whire and some bright color. I prefer much more how variety vibrant and colorful design of Ananta characters.
>>1771350>Male in gacha poolFuck off, I don't care if it's ML, Yurishit, niggerstain, or whatnot. I'm not playing just to get bara faggot on my rolls.
Ananta will be at the Tokyo Game Show in two months, September. This is most likely where they'll be showing their gameplay. If the theory that they'll be releasing it this year based on them receiving their license already is true they will have three months after that to do so.
>>1781607Nice, hopefully we get a global beta testing announced for this year at least.
>>1781607this will be the biggest flop since ToF if it ever releases
>>1781769Apparently NtE is doing worse than people expected by a mile, so unless they somehow just release a complete brick I don't think it's going to be that bad.
>>1781771People expected NTE to be good?
>>1781791Apparently. I can't imagine why since it didn't show anything particularly innovative or inspired. I think the best it could hope to be is "stable".
>>1728136>good looking female characters>MC i plain looking faggot are gooks incapable of making good male mc ?
>>1782384>are gooks incapable of making good male mc ?only when they time skip
Soul Tide is getting a sequel, though unsure if the PV was supposed to have been uploaded today>>1782927>>1782384KaleidoRIDER is a CN game, not KR
>>1782384Only women make good looking males, look at h manga. If it's drawn by a male, the MC is either faceless, or an ugly bastard. If it's drawn by a female, it's good looking, and it probably has more detail on it than the woman you are supposed to be jerking off to.The male being plain is a good sign, since it means they are putting more effort into the girls.
>>1782929>KaleidoRIDER is a CN game, not KRIt's over...
>>1783393Women should design all male charactersAnd men should design all female charactersNothing should be ugly or plain. Everything should be beautiful.
>>1783393Explain why there are so many ugly bastard hmanga written by females.
>>1783682Because those are meant for guys to jack off, not girls. When a guy watches porn he doesn't give a fuck who the male looks.

>>1789944why not play mmos then?
>>1789940I mean it totally took away a sense of exploration out of the open-world game and that's the thing people wants out of it
>>1789944>It's the most exhausting experience i've ever triedi agree, that's the reason u haven't even bothered with wuwa, i prefer the semi-open style of games like E33 with engaging ambient music
>>1790051Not on wuwa, no. The combat is not designed for it, the character kits aren't designed for it, the maps aren't designed for it, it's simply not the focus of the game. The devs are smart enough to realize it and shifted the focus from: randomly finding a chest under a tree that no one has thought of opening in 500 years, to tightly, focused combat encounters and puzzles. Now you get to actually have fun flying from hotspot to hotspot, instead of running for 5 minutes while watching youtube trying to find the last chest in the area.You are welcome to play oblivion remastered or fuck around on the desert area of genshin if you so desire, of course, it's a matter of taste.
I'm on Chapter 5 in Zenless Zone Zero. First gacha, totally F2P. It's been good with some quality content but I feel like I could enjoy another one's style more than ZZZ. Should I bother trying Genshin Impact or Honkai: Star Rail or just wait for one of these new games like Anata, NTE, Endfield, Promilia, Silver Palace, etc., and get in early?
>>1792435Genshin is pretty archaic with no new player on-boarding, you definitely have a few months worth of story content to play with at the very least. Too late to participate in most other content in a fun way though, since it's starting to get balanced around the idea of you having been in the Shartifact mines for two years or more.Never played HSR since it's just a turn based game, only thing it has going for it is the Mihomo coat of paint and artifacts all over again.If Genshin isn't your cup of tea, then wait for the new stuff.
>>1792435I would recommend you to stay the fuck away from mihoyo games, specially since you are a newfag retard and won't see the typical pitfalls of gachas that WILL fuck you over. Not to mention mihoyo games are incredibly low quality despite asking for a lot of money from players, and spending said money on marketing instead of making the games better.I would also recommend to avoid any and all korean games, they typically have a lot of pvp content to squeeze the players money, and require obscene amounts of grinding to advance.
>>1792435You're good, anon, don't bother with other live services.

Endfield news
Any news on Chaos Zero Nightmare? I really like the "cute girls having mental breakdowns" theme of the game shown in trailers.
So far they're just showing off the characters
Endfield beta with monetization enabled soonSo this is the last beta test
[ANANTA]A game planner for NetEase that left the company answered some questions, one of which was about the Ananta release. He stated that it was slated to release in 2026.
Saw this earlier. New trailer for a management game called Virtual Circle. Similar gameplay to Uma but the racing is replaced with fighting.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgfx_0c8874I got interested because the combat actually looks really good, which is something I've always wanted to see autobattlers do. If you're taking away player control, then actually utilize the freedom that opens up to have characters do dynamic shit that would be too much for touchscreen controls. Instead, most autobattlers are complete snoozefests where the animations are really basic outside of ults.The only problem is.....>>>>apparently the characters are all real chink vtubersI've been monkey's paw'd hard. Couldn't care less about vtubers, especially the chinks.
>>1792435Stay away from Mihoyo. It's the worst investment ever. Powercreep is very common and eventually they will find new ways pretend to be F2P while being more P2W than ever.
>>1803635>I got interested because the combat actually looks really good, which is something I've always wanted to see autobattlers do. If you're taking away player control, then actually utilize the freedom that opens up to have characters do dynamic shit that would be too much for touchscreenYou only say this before you have to watch those animations 500 times a day.
>>1803635I really dislike the aesthetics of this one. Peak chinese art style.
>>1803635might play if it has pantsu
>>1803635>auto battlers>autowhy don't you just watch some e-celeb "playing" it?
>>1803936Because I still want to play manager, selecting strats and shitGive me football manager but I train girls to beat the shit out of people
>>1803950Sound like Star Savior is what you are looking.It has HSR battle system and Uma training sim system for characters so you can spend aeon repeating the same shit to raise the their stats, plus you can also beat the shit out of people in PVP if you are into that kind of thing.
>>1794693>Trying to pull the latest cute/cool/sexy character>Pull this edgy bara furry instead I'd uninstall on the spot, hell I might even cancel my preregistration to avoid that possibility entirely
>>1790082>i agree, that's the reason u haven't even bothered with wuwa, i prefer the semi-open style of games like E33 with engaging ambient musicSpeaking of which. When we can expect some company to announce game that will copy and apply E33 gameplay style? I give it 2 years max. And it would be ironic because one of the reasons why director of E33 left UbiSoft, was because they wanted him to make a gatcha game.
it's been more than a yearwhy is it still locked to china? is this revenge for animal crossing not being available there?
>>1804002>tamest of pandering, not even a kiss>only one character in screen during battle for some reason>PVPnta, but I think I'm going to be skipping that one
>>1804249
>>1804312Just play Animal Crossing, anon
>>1804552animal crossing is now a slop franchise for those freaks who love to pretend they are the opposite sex/gender and prefer dollhouse decoration over life-simulation
>>1804692Maybe it is because wild world was my first game, but holy shit, none of the AC games after that really got me into them.I probably spent like 2000 hours playing wild world on my ds lite, and not even 150 hours in new leaf and new horizons combined.
>>1712210so apparently fellow moon has already released in japan and koreais it gonna release for global?it looks interesting, i wanna try itare there any other gacha games that are their own thing instead of open world sloo like genshin?i downloaded pokemon cafe remix, it's pretty fun and has a cute artstyle tooi'm looking for something that has a distinct theme, like maybe urban but 2d
>>1804312That means it's a flop not worth going global.
>>1807649it tops the grossing charts even after a year
>>1807720Chinese charts are irrelevant
>>1807756cute cope
>>1807771no u
>>1807720I don't understand why companies are like thisIt's like how long it took for Umamusume to get a global versionIf a game is a massive hit in a region, chances are it will be a big hit globally tooCompanies are too afraid of cultural differences or some other bullcrap excuses, so they either drag their feet or outright refuse to do a global version
>>1807781it's always the people in suitsthey don't understand games, anything about gaming industry, trends, etcthey just wake up one day and think what they want is what all gamers want
>>1712210what gachas have unique artstyle? afk journey looks so pretty, but i don't like most of the character designsare there any more gachas like that?
>>1807906Trickal Chibi Go has a simplistic artstyle but it looks like they put a lot of care into itGlobal release soon, it's worth a try
>>1712210we might get something during gamescom next weekhoyo has completed registration for petit planet (astaweave haven was deleted)
>>1810150there's another casual hoyo game different than this ac gamei wonder if floatopia will be available on phones too
Where the new games at?
>>1816401someone on twitter is claiming hoyo will be revealing petit planet (previously known as astaweave haven) next monthlaunching on pc, ios, android and switch 2
there's some "kaiju 8" game coming up on 31stare there any other upcoming gacha games?
Does anyone know the name of that upcoming gacha with a ridiculous preregistration goal?It was 100 million players to get the 5 stars unit if I recall correctly
DUET NIGHT ABYSS IS NO LONGER A GACHAALL CHARACTERS FREEALL WEAPONS FREEEVERY CHARACTER PERMANENTLY OBTAINABLE
>>1819337Based, total gacha death.
based honestlyi'm so tired of gachashit where the designs i like are very few or shit at gameplay/meta
https://x.com/DNAbyss_EN/status/1960306229424877573DNA twitter says they want to base their monetization around skins and cosmetics, pretty based move, here's hoping it pays off for them
>>1819337Dead in a month
>>1819357So they're literally copying everything from Warframe even the monetary system
>>1819337>>1819357real if true
>>1819359i hope seapags and poojeets stay in their gachashit containmentdna dropping gacha and monetizing cosmetics was a great move
>>1819371It's a failed experiment. Chinese want to wield the power of money.
>>1819371Dead in a month
The gacha killer is coming
>>1819413i don't care as long as pagjeets stay away
>>1819451everyone will stay away from your flop bro
>>1819442I still can't believe this crap is going to kill gacha
>got an email for the Kaleido Rider beta testI forgot that I signed up for this, anyone else get beta access?
>>1819502what game is it?
>>1819552>>1819337
>>1819554looks like open world genshin slop
>>1819357>>1819337But how are they gonna keep it alive? Do you make a single purches like with a regular game? Sure I can give them all the based internet points they want but I don't think skins alone will carry the game in the long run.
>>1819577paypigs can buy character shards to skip the grind
>>1819589That implies the gameplay is gonna be fun and interesting enough to retain paypigs. I guess they're going full Warframe? Because that game must be doing something right to still have +60k current players right now after all these years.
>>1819337>>1819357Great news. That means we can no longer talk about it.
>General that usually has at most a few posts a day suddenly has like 30 within 10 hours

>>1822107Looks like shit.Still going to be a success because of the brand power.
>>1822107Seems even more geared towards children and women than Genshin, very nice visuals but It'd probably put me to sleep.
>>1822116the honkai artstyle is such a downgrade to zzz's tooi'll probably play this until roco kingdom releases>>1822119it's autochess, so yeahhaha
>>1822107Autochess but eh..it’s shit but it would succeed again
>>1820200There is a standalone launcher
>>1822107I wouldn't play a game with that godawful roster even if it was the greatest masterpiece ever
DNA will be on Steam too.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3950020/Duet_Night_Abyss/
kaiju no 8 the game starting in a few hours
>>1819357Guess they realized they can't compete with current gacha economy and those big money games, backing out of gacha is also pretty good move to stay alive
>>1823468People still trust that company after Tribe Nine?
>>1824044Mecha Break flopped though.
>>1824164How is that related in any way
>>1824177>base their monetization around skins and cosmetics
>>1824177Do see how "well" the first descendant is doing. Turns out that having to grind for 15 to 20 hours for a character, then 5 hours for a weapon, then 20 more hours for 4 extra copies of the weapon, then having to level up and equip the character (which takes another 5 hours), to be able to use them in endgame, only to realize you don't like them, is not fun.On the other hand, regular gachas only ask for 5 minutes a day for dailies, and thats enough to get the character you want and level/equip them without having to do any try hard shit, and thats enough to use them in endgame.On those kind of games (destiny 2, first descendant, warframe), you can't do endgame unless you autistically grind for 10 hours a day each season, or drop money to instantly get the character you want. Gacha gamers don't know what real grind is, and they are going to find really soon with DNA, and they are going to hate it. And thats assuming the game is good and not boring.
>>1824228>Turns out that having to grind for 15 to 20 hours for a character, then 5 hours for a weapon, then 20 more hours for 4 extra copies of the weapon, then having to level up and equip the character (which takes another 5 hours)>you can't do endgame unless you autistically grind for 10 hours a dayAlright stop, i can only get so much erect.
>>1824235Of course there are people that love farming the same mission, which lasts 40 seconds, and all enemies die instantly, for hours on end is fun (the most efficient farming on last descendant was doing a circle with Valby, or jumping against a rock with Bunny), but that's a tiny fraction of people, so I don't think appealing to that crowd is healthy for a game. The game will probably be popular for about 3 months before people realize that you are just farming for the sake of farming more efficiently, without any goal, and drop the game.
>>1824228>Gacha gamers don't know what real grind isnot like the current major gachas arent a major content time sink as it already is. ill just follow the main campaign and be done with it like always
>>1824240Ultimately it all boils down to how long and how fun the game is going to be and there's no guarantee it will become like the game it derived from so best to wait and see it myself. Feels like doomposters are trying too hard to prevent people from trying a fucking F2P game, if i don't like it i'll leave, simple as, i don't need your concern.
>>1824251I don't give two shits about you having fun on a random F2P game, the discussion at hand is how successful said game is ultimately going to be. Or rather, trying to gauge its future success from previous games.
A Genshin leaker suggests there may be three 5 star males in the new region, up from one in the previous region and tied with Fontaine. I have seen many "women" complaining about this on various platforms saying that it isn't enough.
>>1826897This isn't the drama thread, no one cares about what people on xitter or reddit are saying.
>>1713461it really is
In other news, azur lane is finally releasing new lewd loli skins, after censoring the last ones.
>>1828721
>>1828721>>1828723>mere flatties are now considered lolitake me back, also which part of that is lewd?
anyone tuned into mabi mobile?
>>1828735Laffy was always considered a loli, dunno about the other one.
>>1712210IT'S HERE!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq6h-VJUmOo&pp=ygUJaGVhcnRvcGlh
>>1829156where roco kingdom
>>1829164hopefully soonit's the only monster collector i'm excited for
>>1712210coming to tgs
>>1831089is that male mc
>>1831098I think they redesigned him
>>183108990% chance it's garbage
>>1831169you can already tell by the white hair red eye bitch in front and the other generic pink hair bitch at the backi love how only japan can create good anime styled characters while chinks and gooks struggle to design even just a single impressionable and memorable anime characterthe only saving grace here is that this game supposedly has character customization
>>1831089I can't wait to see how their dating mechanics work.Although, if the devs are keeping the femc around, we'd prolly get no romantic stuff in those very same dates desu.
>>1831168Again?
>>1831271>game supposedly has character customizationDoes it? At least someone realizes what's kept Tower of Fantasy around.
>>1831669the mc is seen wearing different clothes in the new trailer, that's the only basisi doubt it'll be on the same level as tof
>>1831089Preferred old MC design. Maybe with the customization they'll let you change him, otherwise they made him look a little too boring.
>>1831784he has to look like a generic chink otherwise the chinks won't play the game
>>1831089>first AP and now Ananta gets its own RoverKek
>>1831786Looked generic enough before to me. Problem with making them too generic is they start to look like shit alongside anything else in the game.
>>1831786I thought chinks valued male beauty (in a platonic way)
>>1831786Generic? Maybe. But they also have to look recognizable. If you ask me how MC be it female or Male from Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact, or Star Rail, I can recall their appearance. Or at least some specific elements of their appearance.Ananata MC cannot look like an NPC, that's for sure. If they don't have some distinguishing hair, they should dress differently from the rest even if their attire ain't anything specialSpeaking of MC. I hope that they will be as useful as the MC of Wuthering Waves is. You can point out a lot of flaws in WuWa MC. But being powercrepped ain't one of them. They still are one of the best units in the game. And when Spectro was falling behind, Kuro upgraded their kit.
>>1831882cool. still won't play wuwa though
>>1831885I'm trying to convince anyone. But if one game does something right. Others should try doing the same.
hopefully mugen has character customization for the mci don't like playing games where the mc is clearly supposed to be a loser chink self-insert of the developer instead of a chad blonde with blue eyes
>>1831888holy digits hh
>>1831089Checked the website and the main characters are still the same, so either>They didn't update the site with the new MC>This is their way of teasing character customization before the show>This isn't the MC and is supposed to be another character entirely
>>1832014 (me)Also their twitter banner
>>1831089He could be the main rival or mentor character.
>>1832014>>1832020No new marketing waves yet.
>>1832014I'm predicting the girl will stay the same when they change it.
>>1712210I heavily doubt people would care about this.If you care or is interested in digging some new game that are open world related or gacha, or if you want to help out to get people to have a chance at getting into Closed Beta Test environment. I have opened a rentry.co entry.Edit code: vmgcbtsubmissionhttps://rentry.co/gamecbt1Make sure to read the instructions! Good luck to everyone who can get into CBT next time!
Ananta confirmed to have demo stations at the venue, so yes gameplay.Also Razerhttps://x.com/Ananta_News/status/1966856877167579229
I hope Ananta's writing is actually good. Based on the limited preview they did apparently the only major thing people didn't like was the combat, so I'm willing to bet if they manage to get some kino story in there like BA did it'll be really popular.
>>1712210roco kingdom: world test recruitment starts todayfocuses on co-op gameplay and "home system", along with open-world exploration and elf experiencenew requirements for devices imply the game's more optimized and supports older parts/techthe game size has also been increased to 45gb (from 30gb) since the last test version
>>1836186>can hold hands with co-op player
>>1836189hmmm
>>1836189
>>1836186>needs QQ or wechat login even on bilibili disgusting
Ananta PC version system requirements:>Minimum: GTX 1060 6GB, 16 GB RAM, i5-9400F / Ryzen 7 3700X>Recommended: RTX 3080, 32 GB RAM, i7-12700K / Ryzen 9 9900XNot sure what to make of that.
>>1839286Even more complaints than what Wuwa had. Also not that many players.Depends on what you get out of that though. If recommended is 1080/60... that's harsh.
>>1839286>>Minimum: GTX 1060 6GB, 16 GB RAM, i5-9400F / Ryzen 7 3700XThat's the minimum for what? 1080p 60 fps? 30 fps? Do they even say?
>>1839341Don't say, it's just appeared on their taptap page taptap.cn/app/383874?os=pcI'd say it's most likely temporary. From what I know of game dev optimization tends to be the last step to avoid complications. Recommended space being 100 gigs is also a pretty big giveaway. They're either going for something really cool and expansive which requires more power or their optimization is going to be the absolute worst in the industry on launch and insta-brick them.
>>1831089I prefer the old one.
>>1839395It's the same but with black hair
>>1839395Same.
>>1839286I was going to die with my 3070 and now gachashit wants me to upgrade?
>>1839567Yeah, can't you see that games like wuwa have the greatest graphical fidelity? MP4 related.https://youtu.be/2iT28duc1WI?si=ZH8CiEiGNW_nzQZ4
>>1839572>there's a 5k now
>>1839577What do you mean? You can set your resolution to whatever the fuck you want, there has never been a limitation other than what your cheap ass monitor can render. Even then, you can do something like 19200 by 10800 and then downscale it to what your monitor can output to get better anti aliasing.

That trailer has too many things, they're selling a dream and i'm not buying it.
>Arkham combat>Spider-Man exploration>Splinter Cell stealth>Good graphics>GTA character switching>Insane character customization>Straight up just shooting people in the headOnly gacha I'm looking forward to currently
>>1840864looks like some watchdogs stuff too
>>1840847Looks like a combination of GTA, Yakuza and Spiderman. Is this even gacha?
Gonna be like crimson desert where it tries to do a shitload of things, and does none of them in an interesting manner.
>>1840881I hope it's not at this point. Wouldn't mind a proper anime game.
didn't the testers say this doesn't have the usual "stamina" or gacha features? they also said it'll be like gta online, so i expect everything will be "free" if you grinddon't take my word for it though, nothing about the monetization has been confirmed or finalized yet
>>1840884How do you know? Crimson Desert isn't even out.
>>1840900Anon...
>>1840900
>>1840900why did this get deleted?
>>1840847I think the web-swinging is now limited to the MC, probably to make him more unique. The other characters will use vehicles.
>>1840912Someone got it first. >>1840847
>>1840847Am I seeing m*le characters?
>>1840847>Female NPCs are now wearing bikinis and proper swimsuits at the beachBased? I'm sure this wasn't the case in the last trailer, I wonder what happened.

>>1840928There's two of them, lmao
>>1840961two too many I'm afraid
saar, i seeing male character, is not mastar love? is toilet? it is against our cultar and religions!
>>1840739>>1840847I care, would buy, doomkeks BTFO.
>>1840961I bet the masked character will turn out to be a girl or something
>>1840987no, that's the build of a man
>>1840987>Website>"Him">"His"
The official site only has male mc now, take it as you want.
>>1840976after genshart I'm a lot less willing to give mixed sloppa a chance, sorry. one thing is having a handful of guys for "variety", another is being swarmed by shiptrannies and fujotards that think they own the place
>>1841017I doubt it will stay like this unless they don't want to fatten their pockets as much as possible. You don't get to fund a gacha that looks this good without cashing out form all turfs like Mihomo does, otherwise you end up with Snowbreak or GF2 and I can almost guarantee nobody in this thread has an up-to-date endgame account in those games.
>>1712210petit planet teaserartstyle seems more colorful and cartoony instead of anime
>>1841097that thing is terrifyingly ugly holy shit
>>1841097>another game for literal babiesIdk what they are cooking, it's not like babies have money...
>>1841103they're trying to become the next jewtendo but forgot what made jewtendo good in the first place
>>1840847wow, genuinely impressed with the gameplay trailer. I didn't really care for this until I see this trailer.
>>1841174>gameplay trailerI will wait for the actual gameplay footage from beta testing or something. For all we know most of the shit they show there may or may not make it to the final release or just some cutscene shit with a small slice of gameplay parts.
>>1841189It's playable at TGS in a few days so that might show what's more or less bullshit
ANANTA is just Akiba's Trip with budget
>>1840864Isn't GTA character switching patented by Rockstar? I swear i read about this a decade ago.
>>1841263Afaik you can only patent your own execution of those gameplay mechanics, general concepts can't be patented.
>>1841267It isn't really a general concept,the patent mentioned switching to the characters which were doing their own thing,its not about just swapping them,the transition is identical too i'm worried because it looks so cool.
nvm i can't find this patent,maybe my memory is doing tricks on me.
>>1841267>general concepts can't be patentedthey can, blizzard patented the play of the game feature which is just a highlight that plays for everyonemonolith patented the nemesis feature which is just a returning enemy who remembers youand now no other games can use those features for a long timeits silly but you can patent a lot of shit

>>1841316Holy based, total gacha death goes on.
>>1841316Interesting. Yeah it didn't look like gacha in the trailer.
>>1841316First Duet Night Abyss and now this...Are we entering a new era? Total character gacha death?
>>1841316Makes total sense
>>1841253when are they adding the strip mechanic then?
Endfield and Promilia should ditch gacha too
>>1841335Smart publishers realized that putting "no character gacha" is the biggest viral move they can pull when the current gacha market already reached its critical mass.
>>1841348Endfield has ditched the gacha already. Unfortunately, they also ditched the rest of the game too.
>>1841267>general concepts can't be patented.Tell that to Nintendo
>>1841348Manjuu doesn't even know what it wants to do with Promilia
>>1841355What do you mean?
Curious if any of the old play testers will describe what the old combat was like. There's nobody who can play Arkham combat and call it boring.Plus I want to see what they did with AI and proc gen. They said they wanted to make the city infinite and have the NPCs have simple text convos through LLM AI. I wonder if that held up or if they scrapped it.
>>1841507there was footage after the first trailer dropped and it looked like genshin's gameplay
>>1841316I FUCKING KNEW IT. Based as fuck.
>>1841316Also this kills all the pajeets and their mixed toilet retardation lmao, based Netease.
>>1841521thisthankfully they all stay in their shitty turdie gacha drama/chimpout threads discussing inferior games
>SAAR GIVES MASTAR LUVS SAAR>SAAR MIX MIX TOILET BAD SAAR>SAAR FEMALE PLAYER CHARACTER? I DON'T WANT TO GET GANGRAPED SAAR!>SAAR MALE CHARACTER SAAR? HE WILL STEAL MY WHITE GRILS WAIFU SAAR!kek what the fuck goes on in gachaturdie drama threads?glad ananta won't have these freaks in its generals
And yet you're still here
>>1841570The Femc one gets me.You'd think staring at two girl's asses in an affection cutscene instead of two would be an improvement to them
>>1841573Maybe if you're a yuritard.
>>1841316>CN is going to normalize non-gachashit anime game live serviceBlue protocol had their chance i guess
>>1841597CN is making a new blue protocol game too bwo
>>1841316considering this is a gta online clone this is how ananta will work.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HubTA6d0Mz8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oumrIjErYxItldr: ananta will be a grindfest.
>>1841624not really, where winds meet is another netease open world no character gacha game and there's a daily energy cap/resource cap.
>>1841624>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I DON'T WANT TO PLAY THE GAMEliteral nigger
>>1841628Sound like the usual 2010s Asian MMOs with stamina cap to gate your progression and you have to pay if you want to grind more.
>>1841635no, it's literally genshin's energy system lol
>>1841316Fuck,it's over this game was almost perfect,i kinda figured it out when i seen characters using bazookas,rifles and batman style combat but wtf do they mean by DIY.
>>1841316Fuck,it's amazing this game is perfect,i kinda figured it out when i seen characters using bazookas,rifles and batman style combat it'll keep away all shitskin pagjeets but wft do they mean by DIY.
Illegal thread, this is no longer a gacha game.
>>1841676it's not a gacha news thread, dummythat's the other dogshit general filled with turd world trash
It's a game news thread on mobile games boardYou can post any game that's on phone
Hopefully it does get support. I keep seeing people laud the fact it's not a gacha as it being "f2p friendly" and talking like they won't spend a dime on it like leeches (ESL posts too of course). Everyone acts like they want to be free of genshin-like gacha models but if they're not comparable financially to other similar games running gacha mechanics then obviously the studios that fund these games development will just throw the idea away and go back to character gacha like that. People will actually have to put their money where their mouth is.
>>1841676>reading comprehension
still no requirement for ananta mobile?
>>1841678>>1841691Calm down I was just memeing on the announcement. But seriously this sucks, I don't want to grind one thousand hours to get a character. My excitement for the game went down a few notches.
>>1841696ok. filtered
>>1841696if it's going to be like where winds meet (also an open world netease game that depends on cosmetics to make money), then there's basically no grind, you just play the story/sidequests to unlock new weapons. the "grind" in that game is similar to genshin, with a similar energy system/cap
I have no idea why they dropped the gacha,spiderman swinging will make vehicles feel less valuable which was a big part of GTA online economy,the weapon skins don't matter either since it isn't some competitive fps game,this leaves only the outfits but Infinite Nikki flopped so hard they had to make the system as predatory as they could just to get anything,also every character is going to be free so they can't even make you spend money to grind for them,spiderman mobility will also make playing this game online more akward if you are looking for GTA-like rp,the first trailer was clearly intended to be regular gacha game.
>>1841702
>>1841705swinging for vertical travel, cars for fast horizontal travel, easy.
>>1841705Probably the in-game customization, vehicles purchases, items, etc., will be expensive as fuck and they will sell coin packagesIt could probably adopt the GTA online model
>>1841710nigga you can just steal a car,also swinging gives you great horizontal and vertical speed when looking at the trailers.
>>1841714you can just steal a car in gta online, but the ones you buy are simply better, better handling, faster, more durable.
>>1841715There is no way a car can give you as much freedom of movement as swinging,i can tell you that when i played spiderman i never had a thought like "a car would me more convinient here".
>>1841722I hope they keep it grounded(no pun intended) though, gtao got stale once i got my hands on that bttf car.
Put a cooldown on swings when playing online and we're good.
>>1841734>Put a cooldown on swingsHaha. No. Putting cooldown/stamina bullshit onto any part of the exploration/mobility mechanics is going to make exploration absolutely ass.
>>1841782This. Wuthering Waves knew that, and they removed the idiotic stamina thing and even made it so that all characters can run on vertical walls, too.And Everyone who came to Wuwa from Genshin said that this makes exploration more enjoyable, fun, and smooth.
>>1841782This is why i said "when playing online", i don't mind them at all without mmo aspect,swinging in this game looks cool but imagine trying to shoot a guy with your rifle only for him to turn into spiderman and run away,i don't have to imagine that i already played fortnite.
PlatonicantaShippinantaBait 'nswitchnantaturdies will fall for it like they did with zzz and firefly
Go back to your mental ward.
>>1841316Dead game. Nobody will play this shit if you can't show off your rolls.
>>1841875>t. mentally ill addicted gachatranny
I CRAVE a modern set anime game so I kinda want to play Ananta. But I'm so sick of the generic moe art style these games get. I want one that looks like Attack on Titan or Fire Force.
>>1841570Ananta is already looking like it attracts those "people" though
>>1841810There won't be overworld pvp otherwise the chongs would riot.>>1841929Generic moe style is what generally accepted as likeable. Stylized designs can only work on non live service games.
Well, TGS tomorrow. Hopefully we'll get lots of interesting news on all sorts of games.
>>1842027Anyone going there?
>>1841722>>1841705It doesn't look like other characters can swing anymore but MC
the good news about ananta is that it's not a gacha, meaning all the gacha turdie pagjeets will (hopefully) stick to chimping out in their gacha drama generals and won't ruin discussion about the actual game
>>1842081>seething on cooldown in both threadsJesus, you're pathetic
>>1842031Tons of CCs no doubt, so you can just watch their streams/twitters for it. I'll just watch a few game focused twitters since that's all I care about this year. I'm sure somebody will scrounge up anything really interesting and post it here anyway.
>>1841624but grinding in games is a good thing?
>>1842008>Stylized designs can only work on non live service games.It worked for Tribe Nine.
>>1842135You shouldn't kick the corpse like that anon.
>>1841316>do nothing wait>win
>>1842081the even better news is that there is no sight of the femMC so lets pray they keep it that way and we also avoid all the yuri trannies
>>1842191>>1841823
>>1842135me on the far right
>>1842135This game got done super dirty, it shouldn't have been a gacha.
>>1841676This is /vmg/ not /gacha/ ya dumb dumb
https://www.youtube.com/live/__Maxakg34QIGN Japan (Not to be confused with US IGN) is holding a livestream for ananta as they will be on-the-ground covering it during business days.
>>1842894Nice
https://youtu.be/XkN1jy9FGVgGameplay has been released
>>1843027Honestly looks kind of fun. I'm curious about combat though. In the earlier teasers they showed off characters getting ults and the MC having telekinetic powers. But it seems like they got rid of all of that?
>>1843027Everything related to vehicles seems to be the weakest part of the game. But they still have time to polish the details.>>1843061Considering only the MC has the spider power there's a chance the telekinesis ended up being exclusive to another character.The ults are probably less flashy if they're still there, the MC has that one where he grabs several enemies at the same time and bashes them to the ground.
https://www.youtube.com/live/__Maxakg34QAnanta IGN JP stream in 3 minutes!
>>1843203https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX_FormqbIoThis too
guy on bilibili is already playing it. Its actually open world, no loading screens. you can explore the open world as part of the demo, its not just locked to that quest they posted in the gameplay trailer a few hrs ago
>>1843221They already said that on twitter. I'm more interested in the ongoing interview. So far doesn't seem there's any interesting info from it though.
>>1843203>No English in the whole stream>Random "Thank you so much!" at the endI'm not whining but kek
>ananta booth is crowded>nte booth is nearly emptyoh no no no no
>>1843272>genshin>but urban setting>and terrible vehicle controlI want to see if they can pull anything out to salvage it, because even without Anata people already got sick of seeing another genshin.
>>1712210petit planet trailerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HyMwlxRcCg
>>1843027I like that there's lip synch.
>>1843300>Chibishiteh,I'm clearly not the target audience anyway.I like how literal the title seems to be though.
>>1843272>NTE booth has to watch as Ananta's booth gets filled to the brim over & overHotta is straight up getting the NTR experience they repeatedly inflicted on ToF players lmaooo
they should rename the game so that it's ntr instead of nte
>>1841521there's still endub to attract the undesirables
Ananta https://www.twitch.tv/fobm4ster
>>1843027The hand to hand combat looks dull as fuck. That's what i expected when there was a bazillion systems in the trailer. It's gonna do tons of stuff and none of it in an interesting way.
>>1843329>NTR experience they repeatedly inflicted on ToF players lmaoooQRD?
is there any hairstyle customization in ananta?
>>1843398Way too slow and sluggish, a bit faster would improve it.
>>1843431it's the bamham like gluing slide unto enemies that really kills it for me. Tells me right away that it's a push button to awesome kinda game.
YOU CAN BEAT UP BITCHES IN THIS GAMEYOU CAN BEAT UP BITCHES IN THIS GAMEYOU CAN BEAT UP BITCHES IN THIS GAME
>>1843459inb4 CCP comes by and neuters the shit out of everything.
>>1843459>>1843461Okay that's funny as fuck and if they remove it because of china laws or whatever then this shit is DoA.
>>1843475You know what happens when something doesn't line up with party values. It's cooked already.
>>1843475They're not dead so it's fine i guess...?
>>1843461>>1843475>>1843479You can do this in where winds meet (another open world netease game), that game has been out in China for like 8 months now. You can even kill/toss kids around in that game and go to prison if you get caught. There's a prison break out game mode and if you kill too many people then they even punish your friends lol
>>1843479Well keep in mind they actually reverted the """censorship""" from the old trailers and we have bikini-wearing NPCs now. Back in the old trailer they were all wearing shorts/spats. Maybe we'll be fine since there isn't blood in the game.>>1843490>You can even kill/toss kids around in that game and go to prison if you get caught.Lmao okay I gotta look this shit up.
>>1843494There's a skill in that game you can learn to toss bears around but you can use it on people and toss em in the water to drown em, works on kids too. You can also steal shit from npcs and go to prison if they catch and report you. If the npcs can't beat your ass then they post a bounty and a player will get you instead
>>1843490>You can even kill/toss kids around in that game and go to prison if you get caughtPost clips
>>1843501https://b23.tv/yAPQlkx
>>1843490>>1843500>>1843501Okay he wasn't kidding, here it is. Jump to 29:20https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXvYk_GG9CMIf the Wuxia game can get away with it then I don't see why Ananta can't get away with some beatdowns without killing.
>>1843521Ananta seems tamer, in this game you just pull people off their horses if you wanna steal em
>>1843520>>1843521I kneel chinaman
>>1843527Oh and then you can just go sell the horse iirc
>>1843521Pretty sure ananta's monetization is gonna be similar to this game's. So cosmetic store and gacha. Can get free costumes and battle pass costumes if you're f2p or a low spender. A lot of costumes are $1 too
>>1843520KEK that's hilarious. >>1843527Now what I'm really interested about is how to obtain guns in Ananta and if you can discharge them on NPCs. If you can then I guess we got a bare minimum crime system. >>1843532Sounds about right, lots of jewery but I'll take them over Mihomo's absolutely scummy gacha.
>>1843537ananta honestly doesn't look like it's anywhere close to finished yet, it looks like there's supposed to be a crime system but no cops yet.
this ganyu clone is cute! https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1K9n4z9EqV
>>1843542I'm checking the stream and you can't really steal cars either, you just show NPCs some ID and then they surrender a vehicle. So far the only ""crime"" you can do is beat people up. That global CBT is shaping up towards 2026 it seems.
>>1843549I think the MC is a cop so it kinda makes sense, might depend on the character you use. For now the crime system seems a lot tamer than where winds meet, you can get in trouble for stealing, killing, and destroying public property (if you don't fix what you break) there. Maybe they just want a younger audience.
weird how no one has footage of characters playing basketball yet. You can dribble the ball around and dunk it and shit outside of that free throw shooting minigame
selfie mode:https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1M2n4zbEpJ
>>1843553>Maybe they just want a younger audience.Yeah I figured, they do want the Genshit audience to some extent. I'm checking more bilibbili footage and you can't run over people either, the lack of freedom to commit crime and get punished for it (at least as a different character) is gonna be a letdown.
>>1843561Weird because you can go absolutely wild in the other game, both are netease games too lol. Different studio though.
>>1843542By the looks of it i think in Ananta we ARE the Cop. We don't steal cars we comandeer them.And Guns might be of non lethal variety because magic. Like literally. Theh propably have some kind supernatural magitech over there.
>>1843567taffy isn't a cop though, she's supposed to be a delivery driver or something, maybe there's footage of her jacking a car
>>1843563Maybe it's the setting? I don't know shit about wuxia but I've seen a bunch of other chinese fantasy games featuring crime, evil, and death as part of the narrative which I assume is intentional. >>1843567I was hoping we get to play as other characters/factions that get to commit crimes but as of now that doesn't seem to be the case. I'd probably spam surveys asking for that kind of content for the final release.
>>1843570it's probably age rating related. probably gonna be a 12+ game instead of 16+ like the other one. But then again the game does look like it'll have REAL bikinis.
Imagine getting bullied by this thinghttps://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1FKntz1ETM
apparently ananta is a unity game?
>>1843027ok this looks kinda ass honestlythe gameplay trailer from 2 days ago hyped me up but this killed my hypeoutside the bamham combat it looks very boring and extermely easy with no failstatethey even failed all the qtes and nothing happened so its gonna be the same lukewarm gacha gameplay like everywhere else and the game is gonna play itself
It's fucking over, public beta in 2026https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1qhn4zzE5S
hoyojeets status?
>>1843593>public betaYou mean you don’t have to get invited to try out the beta?
>>1843593public beta means release right?
>>1843603they'll probably have closed betas too
kinda cool how taffy has her own apartment lol, though could get annoying when switching to her since you have to take the fucking elevator to get out of it
>>1843612Can't you just jump out of the window? NTE let's you do that.
>>1843616I don't think so... go easy on us NTEChads...
>>1843583Then Genshit has no excuse. If they wanna to last at least 10 years they need to improve thier graphics that already was getting old when it started.
basketball, not sure if you can play with NPCs or other players yet though. Can dribble, shoot, and dunk the ball for now. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1BDntzyEsD
stupid cute cop!
i wonder why people are so hype for netease game, its like they dont know netease monetization helli fell like theyre gonna lock a lot of feature through paywall in ananta once its release desu
>>1843621Their revenue is still high enough for them to not give a shit about how much people bitch and moan about how outdated the game looks. At best they will spend the minimum effort to slightly improve the lighting and call it a day.
>>1843617Seems like a huge missed opportunity since they already implemented spiderman mechanics..
>>1843627Newer big Netease games are not like that anymoreMarvel rivals, Destiny Rising, Where winds meet, Sword of Justice are very f2p friendly
>>1843627I've been playing CN where winds meet (also netease) for a couple of months now and other than outfits there's no gameplay related paywalls, pretty fun game even though I can't read shit and have to google translate everything. Cosmetic gacha IS really fucking expensive though, but they have some cheap $1 outfits in the store to cope with and you can earn free outfits so hopefully we get some free shit in ananta too.
>>1843627Relax. Netease Games are no longer doing that. Once human developer team removed the old way to monetize and let them monetize something else entirely. Other newer netease games are like that too.
>>1843633English version is coming in like 1.5 month
>>1843649yeah but I doubt the playerbase is going to be huge lol and it'll probably eos soon because no one cares about wuxia outside of china
>>1843651Nta but korean MMO was quite a big hit, also don't forget about dynasty warrior.
>>1843654But anon, the gens that were playing KR MMOs are all boomers by today standard.
>>1843654Korean MMOs are usually fantasy, and Westerners like that. I don't remember many famous murin MMOs
I haven't watched the 10 minutes gameplay trailer yet, but I watched the first one. I THINK I saw some handholding, but I'm not sure. So, I wanted to ask, as the MC, can we date the npcs?
>>1843692Well as long as it has sexy women and didn't put chinese word in the title i'm pretty sure it'll attract the general audience. People outside of china didn't play wukong because they couldn't care less about a fucking monke.
>>1843630I don't think she has spiderman powers bro...
Once Human X Pal World collab got announced btw
>>1843707I still think it's too Chinese to be successful in the West because I'm not saying many people talking about it when compared to other titles
>>1843730>sayingI meant "seeing"
>>1843730yeah that's why I'm sticking with the CN version, the game is honestly quite good.
>>1843730Yeah American won't play anything that looks Chinese
>>1843770to be fair the game has a lot of chinese history related references/lore that I imagine only chinese people would really fully understand/appreciate. I honestly don't get why they even bothered with a global release. You can tell the game was made just for CN.
>>1843796Netease employs 33k people, they probably just find a janitor who knows English and give him a raise to translate the game
>>1843803I know you're joking but netease is just the publisher, I just think it was kind of retarded, but netease has been taking more risks than hoyo I guess.
femMC confirmed for ananta
>>1843621Genshit was the first of its kind and an industry changer, it's never going to die now matter how "outdated" it gets until Mihoyo themselves pull the plug. PUBG is still running fine 8 years later despite Fortnite and other BRs existing.>>1843852Called it, not like it matters though since this is no longer a gacha, which means they can even get away with romance mechanics.
has no one confirmed if there's customization besides clothing options?are there hairdressers?
>>1843852>femMC confirmed for anantaThat doesn't confirm it yet because it could be the MC sister, she will be playable but no the MC
>>1843876>Called it, not like it matters though since this is no longer a gacha, which means they can even get away with romance mechanics.I wouldn't be so sure about that. The annoying faggots where throwing a fit and claiming they wouldn't play if there wasn't one. I'd prefer they scrap her if only to filter those and be rid of their schizo shit.
Oh okay you can shoot NPCs with guns but it doesn't injure them lethally, as expected. >>1843899Been browsing billibilli for a bit but so far I haven't seen anything else other than clothing customization. Changing your hairstyle should definitely be a feature.>>1843912I get your point but Ananta will REALLY want all the money it can get if they're serious with this game, and a femMC will net them more players even if it means selling to the obnoxious faggots on twitter. It's a necessary evil.
>>1843932>Ananta will REALLY want all the money it can getYou're right there I suppose. I'm just so sick of seeing all these games playerbases being so filled with gay retards, insufferable shippers, yurifags and fujos. It's the worst if you like a character but shippers or something hijack all the art for them. That and they harass people all the damn time. Nobody needs another fanbase like Genshin. Maybe they'll take measures to cull them properly.
>>1843943>Maybe they'll take measures to cull them properly.Imo a good way to filter those freaks is adding a straight dating/romance mechanic where your MC of choice can have one (1) romantic interest of the opposite sex, thanks to the fact that playable characters are no longer tied to the game's revenue. And since China doesn't support explicit faggotry it means we don't get gay romance either, filtering most of the undesirables.
At this point point, I think games should start adding a feature that uninstalls and deletes the game if you try to purposely fail the tutorial>Hurr durr, why doesn't the game have fail states in the tutorial if I act like an 80 IQ retard and purposely fail the tutorial just to see what happens?Okay fine. Redownload the 50gb game when you want to actually play the game.>>1843703Not sure about npcs, but playable characters definitely unless they completely revamped things from the cbt. Not only is there dating but it switches to 1st person pov during dates. So the scenes with the wolfgirl dancing at the club and in a towel aren't the camera doing a weird thing where they spun around to show her in reverse, but seeing her in 1st person pov while you're standing there.
>>1843968Just shunting the female MC to the back seems to work well too from what I've seen, it drives them insane. I hope that's why they seem to be refusing to show her.
>>1843968That'd be funny
>>1844008They'll crawl back like roaches when the game does release though, unless you do something like >>1843968 and completely shut them down in-game by completely invalidating their headcanon b. Doesn't even need to be single romance target, you just need to lock them out of gay romance options.
>>1843805>netease is just the publishernetease owns basically all the domestic studios they publish forif netease is publishing a game from an unknown studio based in hangzhou, it's just a thunder fire team
>>1843989>Not sure about npcs, but playable characters definitely unless they completely revamped things from the cbt. Not only is there dating but it switches to 1st person pov during dates.Thanks for answering my doubt, but some other anons are talking about a possible femMC (the pin). Wouldn't that fuck up the dating mechanic?
>>1844311Unless they make the dates gender locked, yes. They'll have to make them those ambiguous slop "friend dates" you see in stuff like Hoyo games if not.
>>1844327>Unless they make the dates gender locked, yes.I doubt they will do that, but there is a tiny hope. Only hetero couples can marry in another NetEase's MMO game.>They'll have to make them those ambiguous slop "friend dates" you see in stuff like Hoyo games if not.It's over... If they decide to do "friend dates", it's better to have no dating at all
>>1844327If they do what Wuwa did and give the option of gender switching, it might be the "loophole" they use to make daring possible with characters of both genders. Captain ain't bi. Their orientation changes when they change gender.Or they could do the more romantic dates for opposite sex and friend dates for same sex.
>>1844397>Or they could do the more romantic dates for opposite sex and friend dates for same sex.That's the best wayhanging out with dudes is really fun when there are no homo undertonesmillenium war aigis had sex scenes for girls and pub/bar talk events for guys and it was awesome
Well that really dampened my mood around it. Hopefully the devs head off shit like shippers and yurifags at the pass and do something to stop them but I'm already seeing discourse around the game getting faggier wherever I go, even saying that the date mechanic is "icky" and only "self inserters" would want it while saying it should be removed or toned down. Disappointing. I do hope they announce the CBT in the next few days though.
>>1844397Nah, i think same sex should react like this whenever they're being approached.
>>1844489>RF4Man that was the last good Rune Factory game. RF5 was so ass I thought the franchise died for good. I've heard the Azuma spin-off isn't as shitty though.

>>1845061>>1845260Can someone post the most expensive clothes you can buy in Where the Winds Meet

The game director Ash answered questions about ANANTA.Q: Why is the city so realistic, but with elements of chaos?A: We wanted to give players a familiar world where they can bring any ideas to life. The "chaos" adds something that doesn't exist in reality, providing a unique experience.Q: Why is the action set in Asia?A: There are many games about American cities, but few about Asian ones. We wanted to show the world its unique atmosphere. The team, as anime fans, wanted to embody this style.Q: What was the main inspiration?A: Jackie Chan movies, the anime "Chainsaw Man" and "Jujutsu Kaisen," as well as "Guardians of the Galaxy."Q: Can you do anything besides driving in chases?A: Yes! You can shoot the tires of pursuing cars and flip them over — we want players to feel like action movie heroes.Q: The fights look tough and "human." Was this a conscious choice?A: Yes. We focused on realistic reactions: parrying, dodging. You can use the environment as a weapon, and the fighting style will change depending on the location.Q: Will the map expand?A: Yes, we plan to add new cities and countries with their own gameplay features.Q: What is the size of the development team?A: Between 700 and 800 people are working on the project.Q: When can we expect the release?A: Development is still in the early stages, but we are trying not to keep you waiting too long!
>>1845506You know, I think you're right. She has the size and personality for it.
>>1845281Check this stream from the timestamphttps://www.youtube.com/live/B73L9Dk61GY?t=34180sHe goes through cosmetic shops and explain almost everything
>>1846070I hope ananta devs are as good as where winds meet's. Game's already got 4 map expansions (just got one today).
>>1846070also just realized that's rexlent lol, didn't know he played the game
>>1845816>early developmentwell i hope this means they will innovate on the systems they're plagiarizing.the current direction seems to mainly be action hero police officer, and they chose the systems from different games to realize that. but fine tuning those pieces to properly fit together will make a way better game than just copying other things.
who tf will play anta after gta6 releases though
>>1846144it's not like gta6's PC version is coming any time soon
I don't give a fuck about a badly written $80 game that's probably got troon shit in there
how come everyone is light skinned in ananta
>>1846163I forgot it'll be PS5 exclusive for a while what the actual fuck
>>1846187yeah... pretty dumb, I'm not going to buy a console to play one game
>>1846192And I bet it will be locked at 30 fps.
how can xbox even compete when playstation pulls these gay moves? pretty sure global ver of where winds meet is also playstation exclusive for like 6 months. Inb4 they do the same thing for ananta lol.
Gantao my beloved
>>1845816>A: Between 700 and 800 people are working on the project.What the actual fuck, reminder that genshin had 120 people working on it and only increased to 500 in a year. There's no way this isn't a nepo project or someone gave some crazy head to an investor at netease
>>1847097The city looks massive and they overhauled the game in 9 months. Quite impressive.
>>1847097Yeah that's worrying. Either they've managed to sweettalk someone into thinking they'll be able to make bank right off the bat to recover it or it's some kind of weird pet project. Either way if it doesn't do well financially someone's getting their legs broken.
>>1847097 (me)im being dumb it started with 120, increased to 400 in a year and finished with 700 in 2021 when the game was already, so on average it probably had like 400-500 just like wuwa.
>>1839395His old design looks just as and even more generic to me. Seen that effeminate white hair pretty boy look ad nauseum. If he's supposed to be a bit of a brawler like the recent demo/trailers show this old design doesn't work at all.
>>1847359I liked the old female design because it looked like a cute kuudere. I hope they add her as an NPC or something.
>>1847097It's also possible they counted people commissioned or no longer working on it, and all Voice Actors and stuff.
>>1847097It's Netease bro, they have 33000 employees
>between 700 and 800That's a huge difference, how do you not know how many employees work for you lmfao
Seeing this thread's activity slowing down I guess we pretty much know everything Ananta's current build has to offer. Time to pretend the game doesn't exist until we get a global beta next year.
>>1847425Yeah pretty much. Best thing we can get is a surprised announcement/trailer at the last day of TGS but I doubt it.
>>1847425I am not sure but I doubt that we probably would get a public (global) beta. As I heard some sources in the server, Q1 2026 is their deadline. So we probably would see there would be closed beta test by then in March (if they nudge the deadline in Q2 2026) or much earlier before march. Closed beta applications may be open in my estimation in during the first week of Q1 2026 is my bet otherwise second or third week in Q1 2026. Don’t take my word for it as it’s just my estimation.
we already know pretty much what we neededthey delivered on their promises, they confirmed it's not gacha so nintards and vtards stop spamming in ananta threadsnow we just wait for an actual release date
[Offtopic/Industrial Stuff]> Bluepoch (Creator of Reverse 1999) is probably making UE5 game.> looking for people who is leaning on 3Cs, action combat, Action RPG (like wuwa, zzz, etc)> Not sure if this is confirmed but it looks like it’s being researched and needing people to develop and research.>In other news, Ananta has some newer information that is published in IGN Japanhttps://jp.ign.com/ananta/81086/interview/anantatgs2025 (Translate this using deepl, built in browser or if you learnt the language, you can read it)
Gantao my beloved......
They didn't redesign Dila
>>1847538Nice moves nigga
>>1847578
>>1847538>She lets you use her gunCUTE
>>1847538Mechanika a cute. Not Taffy-level cute but very close.
>>1847540I guess everyone is still in, including the cow.
>>1712210>be me>take a look at all upcoming games i'm interested in>petit planet>heartopia>floatopia>animula nook>ananta>roco kingdom>gta 6>dokev>that unannounced "gravity falls" style lifesim gamei'm excited for ananta and roco kingdom, but once gta 6 and dokev release i'm dropping both, there's just no way to keep up with FOUR open world gamesas for the lifesim games, maybe i'll stick to animula nook
>>1847807DokeV isn't coming out for at least a decade.
>>1847815crimson desert release date has been confirmed
>>1847829That doesn't mean DokeV will be ready next month, anon.
She's so cute bros.......................
>>1847405and also have a lot of games, 700-800 employees for one project is still a lot, its basically AAA.
>>1847425>I guess we pretty much know everything Ananta's current build has to offerI don't think I've seen this posted here yet
Nevermind. There's a load more stuff you guys haven't posted yet.https://x.com/Ananta_News/status/1971893634346680357>According to Famitsu Ananta will be releasing in 2026, speculated in Q2. It will release on PC and console FIRST, then followed by mobile releases.https://x.com/Ananta_News/status/1971981935351325174>The date mechanic is confirmed and can be seen herehttps://x.com/Ananta_News/status/1971830087604637699>Another big interview info dump with a load of new stuff confirmed
>>1848267>I guess we pretty much know everything Ananta's current build has to offer>I don't think I've seen this posted here yet>Post Info of previous build.Reading comprehension ain't your best ability.Anon. WTF?
>>1847955Pinky promise, canon wife #2 confirmed?
>>1848328Probably a few places back, assuming Taffy is #1, and Lykaia's aiming for #3. Richie also seems like she's important and would show up early in the main story
>>1848362Lykaia's aiming for #2
>>1848275>date>LITERALLY the same as zzz, but on a fortune wheel instead of a theater>yes I insist on calling it a fortune wheelThis game keeps getting less and less appealing. Well, what can you expect in a platonic mixed toilet with female MC
>saaar muh mixed toilet, me need master love harem Go back you street-shitting subhuman, not a character gacha anymore.
>>1848275The dating seems unfinished as fuck but at least it's there. They'll probably expand upon it for future builds.
>>1848687if it's still the same as cbt, the dates are small like 30-60 second ways to raise affinity that you do daily. Affinity is how you unlock the actual bigger character scenes
>>1848710Oh I didn't know the previous cbt had dating implemented beforehand. I hope we see something more complete in the next beta test, although other aspects of the game should take priority first.
Map from this image seemed small but it's actually pretty big.There are already other landmasses off the island that's not in the map, ready for future expansion.Really hoping they don't fuck this up.>>1846085Dude went from abusing refund to be a celebrity in the FGO community to a content creator, he's smart enough to capitalize the opportunity.
>>1848719Yup, it's how people knew it would switch to 1st person pov even before the TGS vids started coming out. But they're probably never getting "more complete" because you do them as a daily. If they make the dates bigger and longer, then you get really long dailies. You're probably better off hoping they make the character affection stories good.
>>1848728Whoops forgot to post the image.>>1848735So there's still dailies? I suppose it's giving out gacha currency for cosmetics, vehicle and residence.I guess as long as it's fast.
>>1848362I hate it, but Taffy will likely to be sidelined and not the main waifu because she's a loli.Dila or Lykaia will be the #1 forced wife.
>>1848738We're not sure. Haven't heard anything about daily tasks, but people assumed that there wasn't a character gacha in cbt because they hadnt decided on rates and such yet and we saw how that turned outDate tickets are 1/day though, with probably a way to whale for more
This is so much worse than i expected.
>>1848752about what you should have actually expected desu, it's a game aimed at the normalfag open world audiencei.e a complete shitter who is dogshit at action games needs to be able to play it without much trouble.
>>1848710>>1848735>the actual bigger character scenes>Yup, it's how people knew it would switch to 1st person pov even before the TGS vids started coming outThey have it for 1 of the characters already I think
>>1848763Then the switch to 1st person pov there's also >>1847955 too
>>1848752I like the guy with the rifle at the back doing absolutely nothing the whole time.
>>1848752I know Ananta is aimed at casuals but even Mihomo has a corner for endgame tryhards in their games. We better get some challenging content that focuses on combat, big city roleplay alone will not carry the game in the long run.
>>1848761>>1848921They could do what where winds meet does and have a difficulty setting that you can adjust whenever you want. Easiest difficulty slows down time when an enemy attacks (can adjust in the settings what kind of enemy/attacks triggers this) and gives you a prompt to parry/dodge enemy attacks. And the game is honestly quite challenging at higher difficulties. There's also an abyss styled game mode that gives you a bit of extra resources but not as important to complete as something like genshin's imo, so casuals are fine to ignore it. Oh and a boss challenge mode (imo harder than the abyss mode) for a bit of extra resources but mainly bragging rights since you get boss related titles and profile pics from it. I'm ngl but where winds meet devs seem a lot more competent in terms of game design imo, BUT ananta is still in early development so things will probably change based on feedback from TGS.
>>1849054I'd rather have heists like in gtao as the endgame except we're the one intercepting.
>>1848328Mechanika won me over
>>1849219I want to invite her to the apartment, Taffy too.
>>1849219So round
>>1848763>they just casually kill that dude
>>1849241It's okay, it was a Disney death
>Although the game emphasizes freedom, it seems like there’s no character customization. Why was that design decision made? Also, I’d like to know whether a female squad leader will be introduced?>To highlight the squad leader’s personality traits, we removed face customization. Players can still change their appearance through purchasing clothing and outfits, which makes up for the lack of facial customization.>As for female squad leaders, it’s not that they don’t exist — we just haven’t revealed them publicly yet. In the official release, players will be able to choose between a male or female squad leader. Depending on the choice, some dialogue and cooperative actions will have slight differences, but the overall storyline will remain basically the same.https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10075936058#
Apologize.
>>1849417Endfield's models are pretty ugly desu
>>1849342it's over
>>1849342Oh so there'll indeed be a FeMC. The marketing was kinda misleading.>Depending on the choice, some dialogue and cooperative actions will have slight differences, but the overall storyline will remain basically the same.I guess the relationships or "dating" or whatever they called it will be very surface level. Makes sense I guess since it's a GTA clone and normalfags don't care about that sort of stuff.
>>1849342>yuri trannies will ruin another gamefucking great
>>1849342>Facial/body customization removed>Customization only through clothesGaaaaaay, I was hoping we'd get haircut customization at least for the MC>>1849483Anyone with a functional brain already knew we'd get a FeMC, selling to more audiences = more money.
>>1735982Ananta is way too rough around the edges to release at the end of 2025,it's not as bad as Cyberpunk but still.
>>1738777>Marvel Rivals alone is a massive success for them which should take a lot of pressure off of themBut it costs them a ton to make and run no? Is not an unique IP for them, marvels, if they were even more stupid, could just prohibit the use of the characters and that's that.
Cow is also in the game. They changed her name to Anonym.Also we get a glimpse as Dating.https://x.com/anantanetwork/status/1972439052961099830
>>1849483>The marketing was kinda misleading.I mean yeah, they've always been hiding anything that might attract women like male playable characters and female MC for some reason.
>>1850224>The fucking cow instantly shows up when it's time to eatKek!
>>1850224It's milking time
>>1850392>for some reasonThey know...
>>1850224i'm so glad ananta has clothing customizationi never have to see gacha slop clothing ever again, or see good character designs ruined by slop clothing
>>1850590>Have character you dislike>Dress them like an assholeYet another advantage
>>1850392Pretty sure males have been in the game since the movie trailer thing
why do people hate men so much?
>>1852283only MLjeet troons hate seeing men in gacha
>>1852283They're just a minority of retards that want a gacha with mihoyo-tier budget for visuals and good gameplay but with playable female characters only. It's fine to want that kind of game but the poor dipshits don't know they won't have it because they alone don't have enough cash to fund it.
>>1852597lads did it tho
>>1852597not just a female-only roster, but complete removal of all male characters, that means no male npcs eitheryou gotta have serious insecurity to feel threatened by even male npcs kek
>>1852600Because chinawomen are more loaded, unironically.>>1852605> but complete removal of all male characters, that means no male npcs eitherAnd they can have their harem fantasy otaku games, that's fine. But these apes somehow expect top-shelf graphics, an open world, good gameplay, and several game mechanics on top of that, as if they had more money than all the other audiences combined.
snowbreak already does all of it and it's still flop because the "people" who demand such games are literally poor brown pags and jeets
>Snowbreak>Mihoyo-tier graphics and open world>Good gameplayNo it doesn't do any of that lmao.
>>1852715>>Mihoyo-tier graphics>as if those are anything impressiveGenshin's is vastly outdated, HSR is so-so at best and ZZZ's only decent at character detail.Ananta and Endfield surpassed them despite using the same engine (unity) and not even out yet.
>>1852999ZZZ looks about the same as genshin, like it came out in 2019.
>>1852999And? I'm talking about a ML harem game that can't compete with Genshin's overworld or ZZZ's character quality because their devs only pander to one audience. But the absolute clowns still wanted Ananta, the better looking game, to be a ML game. But how knows? Maybe Promilia will deliver? I don't keep up with it so I wouldn't know.
>>1853254Very interesting, anon. Didn't ask btw.
>>1853254>ZZZ's character qualityWhat the fuck are you talking about? They look worse than horizon walker models.
>>1853611
