Probably pick it up at some point. I only played the 1st and 2nd part, but the games were good little gems.
Only the 7 main RPGS released in English
First quadrolgy: Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, Quarantine
Second trilogy "G.U": Rebirth, Reminisce, Redemption
G. U is set years after IMOQ and only makes minor references to them. You might enjoy their more action based combat more than the MMO style combat of the first games so I'd recommend this G.U remaster over IMOQ. Pretty easy to get into. The game within a game setting and the lore surrounding it interested me.
There's .hack//Link which is a Japan only PSP action that is basically a big fanservice game with characters from all around the games, manga, anime, etc and .hack//Versus another Japan only PS3 fighting game similar to those Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm games.

Why not a remaster of the original .Hack series? I'd love to play that.
They are two stories released in episodic formats. One had 4 episodes/discs, other had 3. This is the second one, and yeah, you can jump in.
This one leads to the new game
Thanks. Will keep an eye on this then.
They might remake the first set of games eventually. Kinda like what they did with God Eater.

Only played Infection! Really loved what was going on. I seem to remember G.U having better combat but I never got around to playing it.

They would probably only do the original 4 if it was a full on remake.

dot hack, and particularly G.U. were so significant to me in my youth. I am downright elated by this news! I am not sure if I can even say that these games (gameplay wise) are anything more than decent... but I am so excited.
How silly that nothing has made we want to buy a PS4 more than this!

I have a friend who will freak out over this if it comes over. Would be interesting to finally try it out myself.

God I'm so excited to jump back in and despise this because my tolerance for Anime has dropped since I was 14.

Where's the xenosaga
AAAA!! This is the best news of all E3 week for me!!
I LOVE .hack and always wanted to play G.U., but I never got my hands on them and by the time I had my own money they had become obscenely expensive. x_x
Fingers crossed for western release to be real!
And I hope they'll eventually bring the original four to ps4, too!

Too bad they aren't remastering IMOQ. It had the GOAT soundtrack.

How you gonna post GOAT OST and forget SKEITH's boss battle theme? Heck, those quick guitar bits before each fight were great too!
Man, IMOQ remaster would have been outstanding, but they would have to redo EVERYTHING visually, especially if they want the new title to line up with how G.U. looks. In that case I understand remastering G.U., but it's also the .hack game set that I never finished. I will now with this set though!
... They WILL release the trilogy in one go, right? Not parse it out separately?
Be prepared to change your way of thinking then because SIGN was more about existentialism and world-building while the games are more about kicking ass and destroying viruses.
I mean, everybody's different, but I have a friend who was completely shocked at how the games were different in tone from SIGN and that kind of turned him off on it. He eventually stuck with it to the end and wound up liking the games though.

Wow, this is the most exciting gaming news all week for me. I have wanted this (and a new .hack// with vr support) for so long. I look forward to playing through this again on day one.
That's a weird way to type Alkaid.
.hack//G.U. (games)
.hack//G.U.+ (manga)
.hack//G.U. (novels)
.hack//G.U. Trilogy (movie)
.hack//Link (G.U. arc)
.hack//G.U. Last Recode
A story so nice, they needed ta tell it twi... uhh wait no. I got nothin' -.-;
Just wanted the story & timeline ta keep on moving foward, already done far more than enough lookin' back.
With that said the gameplay changes mentioned almost sound like they'll make 'em more bearable ta play. Kinda interested.

I also found the last 3 for pretty decent prices at gamestop over the years as Infection was the only one I bought at launch.

Will Namco before E3 is over announce this for NA?
I've actually only played a demo of the original .hack back in the day, but never got around to buying it because I was poor. I really enjoyed the demo and was super intrigued by what I played. I'll definitely pick this up. How many games are included in the package? The linked web page in the OP wouldn't load for me here at work.
Pretty sure they aren't working on it anymore. That's why SE is recruiting to internally develop it.
btw if this is released overseas: JP voice acting is a must
No dub? Fine. Dub+Sub? The best! Dub-only? Get outta town.

So this is just skipping IMOQ? Did i miss a remaster for the originals?
There weren't any. However that stories been told as many times as G.U.'s has by now. This G.U. re-release will include the Terminal Disc stuff, which largely goes over the main plot of IMOQ so there is that.

Gotya. Well I'm not sure how I feel about that, but these one play better anyway so I guess it's alright.

Im in!
Ive been waiting for a new .hack game since all the SAO games.

The amount of work required would be doubled since they would most likely need to completely revamp the combat.
