I mean this is still an externally made game, doesn't he only have sway over internal projects?Harada gang loses again, the Switch is just too good.
I'd take a late port of Tales of Berseria. Or any other Tales portThis should have been a day 1 Switch port (or at least 6-12 months later, mid-late 2018). But I guess that better late than never
Whats next? A late port of Tales of Berseria? lolz.
Nice to see it finally get announced. Expect it to be around $40 going off Bandai trends.
As someone new and curious about hack what should I watch before this
My serious guess is Code Vein is next. Maybe around summer next year.Whats next? A late port of Tales of Berseria? lolz.
I believe he only has say over franchises that Scamco own because he has say over things like Dark Souls which is developed by From Software instead of BN Studios.I mean this is still an externally made game, doesn't he only have sway over internal projects?
(Sorry for the double post.)Finally.
Played Outbreak from the first series but haven't touched G.U. series (thanks to Namco's stupid decision to have limited prints of JRPG games on PS2 in Europe) so I'm quite hyped. Hopefully with addition of Switch version, this will sell enough for Namco to greenlight a new game.
My serious guess is Code Vein is next. Maybe around summer next year.
According to Imran/ShockingAlberto, Namco tried poring Tekken 7 to Switch once but failed. Could be that they didn't bother porting Soul Calibur 6 because of that.(Sorry for the double post.)
I’m guessing SoulCalibur VI will eventually get ported. Selling 2 million and losing the producer is kind of a bad look when your franchise is a rotting corpse.
I don’t trust Imran because he has got a lot of stuff wrong lately. Also, they know SoulCalibur VI can run on the hardware since they knew back in 2008 that SCIV could run on Wii before they made Broken Destiny for the PSP.According to Imran/ShockingAlberto, Namco tried poring Tekken 7 to Switch once but failed. Could be that they didn't bother porting Soul Calibur 6 because of that.
But... They can always bring back older SC games under the "Encore" line. They have already done 1 and 2, maybe Switch could get the online HD version of 3 (best in the series IMO, this time it could have Dante)
My Bandai-Namco expectation is (very late) ports of anime games like Boruto Shinobi Striker or One Piece and Dark Souls 2/3.My serious guess is Code Vein is next. Maybe around summer next year.
CC2 mentioned Bamco turned down a port before, so I'm assuming CC2 is putting up the cash themselvesI believe he only has say over franchises that Scamco own because he has say over things like Dark Souls which is developed by From Software instead of BN Studios.
I fucking WISH. Berseria is YEARS overdue on Switch. It was a perfect launch window port but NOPE, can't have that I guess!Whats next? A late port of Tales of Berseria? lolz.
My Bandai-Namco expectation is (very late) ports of anime games like Boruto Shinobi Striker or One Piece and Dark Souls 2/3.
+ Encore lineup (as you said, maybe that will include old Soul Calibur or Tekken games). Namco’s PS2/Gamecube (including Wii) would be cool (RR5, various Tales of, Tekken TT/4/6, SC 2/3, Mr Driller, Klonoa Remake + 2, Namco x Capcom, Katamari, Xenosaga, Ace Combat 4/5…)
heh (my game project is inspired by this)
- Fragile Dreams (is this feasible?)
there was a new section, yea. this is the most complete it will ever beDidn't this game have many parts? Is this like a complete edition?
Except Dark Souls. Harada mentioned that along with Tekken, SC, Tales and Ace Combat in his promotion tweet. Unless Chris meant games that are outsourced to porting companies.heh (my game project is inspired by this)
only if someone like Tri-Crescendo reminds them they own it. but any game that's currently under Harada's supervision probably won't make it. .hack and whatnot aren't those games. and apparently (according to Chris on install base), neither are the contracted games
Nah, he means non-BN Studios games. Don't know what's up with Dark Souls, but I think it's telling enough how that was handledExcept Dark Souls. Harada mentioned that along with Tekken, SC, Tales and Ace Combat in his promotion tweet. Unless Chris meant games that are outsourced to porting companies.
we don't really know. Harada leads the Namco IPs and they just don't get ported to the Switch anymore. outside of Switch exclusives that target kids/families, Vesperia was the last one. externally made games apparently don't fall under Harada's jurisdiction (or they do) but the developer in question has to push for a port. my assumption is said companies would have to fit it in their budget/schedule themselvesCan someone adequately express what Harada‘s problem is? He’s mentioned as an impediment to Bandai Namco porting internally-developed games to Switch and I’d like the story here.

Code Vein are by the original devs of God Eater, Shift. God Eater 3 was by Marvelous. and Code Vein is over two years old, I don't see the point in holding out hope for thatAfter that Code Vein. It's made by God Eater guys and the latest GE game is on Switch. I expect it to hit Switch soon, maybe next year.
Tekken 7 wouldn’t run properly because it would need to be remade like Dragon Quest XI. SoulCalibur on the other hand was developed on the UE4 update that has Switch support, Tekken 7 wasn’t.Some weird hateboner folks here have, really. Most of BNEI's newer, flashier games would need a lot of downgrades to run properly on switch so usually Bamco just opts to skip switch and hold it for later and get it out on traditional platforms first, unless it's something that's a no brainer like Pac-Man Museum. We've gotten our own share of exclusives like the Encore games and Namcot Collection so I don't get why people think Harada singlehandedly hates the switch and is blocking stuff from it, when the more logical reason is that Namco stuff just doesn't really make sense to cram onto Switch as a top priority, but the money's there enough to do stuff later if there's free time.
Tekken 7 and SCVI would never ever run properly on Switch and people are completely insane to think they ever would, nor that BNEi would bother with extra time to get that to work when they had DLC to work on for the other versions, so they just flat out won't come: DBFZ was a bit easier since Arc got the hang of the platform and throws anything on the system, and likewise, CC2 wanted to put Recode on Switch for years but Bamco said no. Pretty pleased they got their way, and i'll definitely be preordering this after how much I loved Fuga.
TBH, I recommend peers support this release too, since CC2 also wants to fully remake solatorobo but BNEI keeps saying no due to how poorly the DS original did.

Yeah, I didn't deny that, I believe Shift guys oversaw the production of GE3.Code Vein are by the original devs of God Eater, Shift. God Eater 3 was by Marvelous. and Code Vein is over two years old, I don't see the point in holding out hope for that
yea, but that's why I mentioned there seems to be a difference between internal Bamco games and external. Code Vein, I'll give you, but unlike .hack, there hasn't been a peep on attempts. CC2 tried last year to get a port (and they were pretty vocal about their ties to Sony)(Sorry for the double post again.)
I mean they just announced a 4 year old game for Switch. I don’t think age is a factor regarding BN’s late Switch ports.
What difference? If Code Vein gets ported, it'll be first new internal Namco game to be ported. There are other reasons for Tekken 7, SC6 and Ace Combat 8 are not coming to Switch.yea, but that's why I mentioned there seems to be a difference between internal Bamco games and external.

GE3 funny enough was specifically by, fittingly, the Soul Sacrifice team at First Studio. Same director and art director IIRC.Code Vein are by the original devs of God Eater, Shift. God Eater 3 was by Marvelous. and Code Vein is over two years old, I don't see the point in holding out hope for that
At least not at close to full price. 50% off maybeScarlet Nexus could definitely work on Switch but Namco can't expect people to buy games 2-3 years after their initial release.
AND they could release game that target the Switch to begin with, this way maybe they'd be revelant in Japan where Scarlet Nexus bombed hard.
Jump force was 10 bucks off and included the first season pass if I remember rightAt least not at close to full price. 50% off maybe
Devs making their games for Switch in mind? Surely you don't expect them to do the smart thing?Scarlet Nexus could definitely work on Switch but Namco can't expect people to buy games 2-3 years after their initial release.

In their defense, both Scarlet Nexus and Arise started development way before Switch's massive success happened. Especially the Arise Dev team didn't know that the Vesperia remaster sales would be the best on Switch and it was too late to make a change.Devs making their games for Switch in mind?
