But all we have still is that one teaser right? Not even a genre or anything?

[OnesFleetingGlory]

Let's hope it won't end up like Deep Down.

[LegalLoliLover]

Sony's actions really left the door open for their rivals to verbally beat them down.

[Skull]

It's time to jack off...er I mean, Jack In once more.

[Laserman]

OH MY GOD
REALLY?

YES YES

A gallery and a music player too, they didn't have to do that, but they went above and beyond. I'm so happy right now, I wanted this for such a long time.

2023 though.... Well, I least I know it's a thing.

[ResidentSeagull]

It was a delightful little surprise.

The only thing that looked iffy is that they did the thing where the pixels blend together, so it looks weird. You can probably choose between that and the original look, though.



EDIT: just saw that it was an option, never mind me...

[Reign]

You have no idea how much I was into Battle Network as a kid. I've won.

[Mattias]

Persona 3,4 & 5 is good.

That Wolf and Deer one looks interesting.

Neir Automata though...I saw what they had to do to make Astral Chain run decently, and Nier is way more bullet hell-y. It's probably going to chug like a train. Maybe it'll even beat Yoko Taro's previous framerate record of Drakengaurd 3.

So about that assassin in the night named Nigel. I think he was from Niger.
Same energy as saying that this movie is the bomb after the Patriot Act.
And my middle school banning the word, game, so you could still go to the "Boy Advance" website.

I just hope they fixed the translation/localization for the games. And who knows, this might also mean a Megaman Starforce Collection might not be that far away.

For the small percentage of people who care, the trailer for the next instalment of the Dark Anthology Pictures is here.



The fact that they're not suggesting any supernatural involvement and it just being a Saw-esque thriller has me intrigued, I won't lie.

Customization fun too.

Also seems nice

[Skull]

My reactions can be summed up as thus:

• Armoured Core - "Dammit FromSoft, you can make yet another AC game but you won't make either a sequel/remaster/successor to Kuon."
• DB Fighterz Super - "I guess I was finally vindicated on not buying until all the DLC came out since presumably this will be a complete collection or whatever."
• Digimon Cyber Sleuth 2 - "Nani!? I thought from the recent interview with Habu that the next Story game will be brand new? Does Cyber Sleuth really need a sequel?"
• Tales of Ascension - "Eh, it's another Tales game. I'll buy it, 'nuff said."
• Xenoverse 3 - "Didn't they *just* release another batch of DLC for Xenoverse 2? Whatever, I didn't care for the series so I'll give this one a pass too."

[ResidentSeagull]

.

Before I go into my points I want to say that if this is real, then it's hype as hell.

That being said, I saw some speculation online that this is most likely a leak, and a bad one at that.

First of all, it's weird that Little Nightmares 3 is real, since the devs said they were done with the franchise, but it's possible that Bandai gave it to somebody else.
Secondly, I HIGHLY doubt Tekken 8 would be around the corner so soon.
I don't know enough about Dragon Ball games to comment on them, but yeah, Xenoverse 2 finally dying would be weird.
Lastly, that AC logo looks way too bland to be the sixth game in the franchise, or even a spin-off, but maybe it's a reboot, so it would make sense in that case.
Also, in general this lineup is so full of big titles that would surely get a shitton of marketing that it's impossible for Bandai TO NOT ANNOUNCE A SINGLE ONE OF THEM at this point. Sorry if I burst anyone's bubble (mine sure is), but upon closer inspection this list definitely seems fake.

[Ideofago]

did anyone actually believe that list

[Mattias]

I believe Armoured Core and Tekken 8, though release times feel bullshit. AC, we've heard that From is doing something in that vein after they're done with Ring. Tekken 8 though only because 7 is now 7 years old.

[Deathhappens]

Tekken 8 is way overdue. Not sure how I feel about Cyber Sleuth 2. Don't care about the rest (unless Elden Ring DLC also brings a sale so I can finally snag it).

[pinetree]

This is super fake.

I'd hate Cyber Sleuth 2 anyway, give me a different Digimon Stories.
The first two were decent but I don't think I can handle indistinct blue corridors for a third time.

[ResidentSeagull]

Tekken 8 though only because 7 is now 7 years old.

You aren't wrong on that but you're forgetting that they've been working on Tekken 7 and adding content to it up until a year or two ago. Also not to mention that it's a huge IP for Bandai and the games usually take a little while in between releases. They're definitely working on it but I'm personally not betting on it releasing before 2024, but we'll just have to see.

In other news, another meme is finally dead:




October 28th, huh? Cheeky.
Looks really good. Always love to see blatant DMC references like the one at 1:10
