Like all of them?
It's not like they have to put any effort into a game based on an anime that'll sell millions on name alone.

I will buy them for sure, if they are good it will get my money for sure.
Since this is Namco Bandai i wish they would bring Ni No Kuni 2 to Xbox as well, why not?

To everyone saying GGO was the only solid arc... Mother's Rosario was pretty good for what it was. Kirito jobbed to Yuuki, too.

There's been 3 Sword Art Online games on PS4 so far that have NOT come to Xbox, published by Namco, sooooo nah.
I just counted, Wikipedia has 33 Namco games that are on PS4 but NOT XB1
Okay? Not sure how that changes what I said
I was responding to the "Namco publishes almost everything on Xbox, the game would have been announced for XB1 regardless". That's wrong on two levels, not just based on the game's previous entries, but that Namco does not publish almost everything on Xbox.
But this is the only one with guns.
BTW: There is b-roll gameplay on Bamco press site... it doesn't look specially good, I expected bigger jump now they are using UE4.

I'll be buying .hack instead.
Hmm... feels like they re-purposed Freedom Wars into this.
Yep, it looks like a reskin, even the grappling whip mechanic...

Ok, so as guessed, this is pretty much Dimps making another freedom wars with SAO coating and less emphasis on the grappling.

Every time a new SAO game gets announced, a .hack possibility dies.
Interested on this one, tho. GGO had a neat concept.

Well at least we get to show our support for .hack with buying Last Recode.

Looks good. Based on the prompts at the top right this looks like the tutorial. But it looks pretty involved so I guess they'll do what they did with Lost Song and already have everyone familiar with the game and at high levels right at the start. I wonder what mechanics they'll bring over from actual GGO though, as a lot of those were centered around PVP or keeping PVP separate from PVE so they'd just be kind of strange in a pseudo mmo. Also looks like Leafa can use swords, and rather she just uses a sword unlike Kirito who uses a gun as well, so the mechanics have probably been changed from the anime/ Ln for that. Wonder if dual blade wielding will still be an option.
At least we're getting a chance with .hack Last recode.
On-topic, the gameplay trailer looks boring.
How many Sword art online games have we gotten now?

This will be the 5th console game if you count Infinity Moment and Hollow Fragment as the same.
SAO: The Beginning? Yeah that didn't turn out to be a game.

Same its people like us that let them keep pumping these out.
After seeing more...yes I will buy it play it for 2 hours and never touch it again.
Sure does. As someone that was really into .hack before SAO was a thing and also in love with Freedom Wars when Freedom Wars wanted to also be a thing, this stuff make me a little bitter.

I thought GGO was like, actually *good*, and when watching it I thought maybe they'd learned their lesson and decided to make a good show. Kirito actually *does* work as a "mentor" type of character, and Sinon actually had some depth.
Then that Ragnarok thing happened and turned Sinon into just another pair of tits. :/
Mother's Rosario is probably the only time that Asuna felt like an actual character, so yeah I guess it was alright.

So, the arc with is a parody of a dudebro Unreal game turns into a dudebro Unreal 4 game
This looks way better than the previous games so I will be following it closely.
Also, I hope they can somehow put Asuna and Sugu as playable characters with a GGO costume.

I haven't seen any visual novel portions in the footage revealed so far. Hopefully it's not dub-titled to hell like Hollow Realization.

They show Asuna and Sugu in GGO in your party in outfits in the trailer and also show both Kirito and Sinon as playable so I'd be shocked if this wasn't the case.

Now all we need is for them to release One Piece Project Dawn around the same time.

Wait takes this place between Episode 3 and 4 or after 6?
How did she got Mace Windus lightsaber? Must have been after the Emporer did some big WIPEOUT on Mace Windu.

Well no because than everything else gets pushed lol
With so many Namco games gling UE4, i wonder if they're willing to use that engine for the next PS4 only Tales Of. It's in serious need of a huge graphical upgrade.
Still so funny.

I genuinely wonder whether this project actually started out life as Freedom Wars 2 and then got re-purposed into this over time.
Like... that's the thorn mechanic right there. A lot of the environmental geometry looks shockingly similar. The shooting and charge attacks look very similar.
Like, I know none of those things were ever exclusive to FW, but given Dimps' involvement, it's interesting.
And certainly my interest in the game is piqued since I enjoyed FW and I've liked the previous SAO games. I'm expecting it to be low-budgety jank but I'm cool with that.
