Live steam, with hasty English translations over Japanese.

No idea what's wrong.

[EDIT:] I think BulletMagnet (myself) just derped and clicked edit instead of quote.

Goddamn noob mods...

The broken link might be due to my location. Half of Yootoobe is blocked over here anyway.

Sorry, was in a rush checking the link while watching the link (please don't ban me).

np. I tried 5 YT proxies so far, no luck...

That thoroughly sucks.

Well, what I can tell you so far:

PC,
F2P,
FPS,
Tachikomas will appear,
Launches first-half 2014.

Those are what I arguably consider the good points.

The one main bad thing I've heard so far is that the story puts each players as a core member of Section 9.

Oh, and Japanese businessmen look hilariously awkward when standing in front of a crowd and showing off an 8-foot wide piece of promotional art.


Where the hell is AdmiralZeech? He's probably wetting himself over this.

[EDIT:] I think they're slating it as the next step in the GITS franchise.

This'll no doubt coincide with that new tv series they're planning.

I'd be more excited if everything about the 'new direction' they've been upselling hadn't been total trash so far. I.G. is over the hill.

An Asian F2P MMO? That sounds like there might be some light grinding involved...

I pretty much had it with F2P after Planetside2. Sony seems to be trying to crash that game as hard as possible. Outright hilarious balance decisions. (Let's give the Heavy Assault a lock-on missile launcher that can kill air and ground targets. Oh, we made a unit that only renders within 200 meters but can effectively engage targets up to a kilometer. But to balance it we gave the Heavy Assault an extra shield and a super-effective light MG which makes him the best choice to kill air, tanks and infantry. Oops...

My sig on that forum:

Aiming is for nerds!)

Anyway, GitS might be something that would let me reconsider to NEVER, EVER touch a F2P MMO again.

It indeed will coincide, my earlier edit was wrong.

I managed to gather that much before they brought in some academics from a university that started waffling about smart phones, big data, and plugging things into brains. At that point I closed the stream.

Here I am!

No, not wetting myself. Why would you think so?
I don't mind GITS but its not my favorite at all. And Japanese don't know how to make MMOs.

All I need is a Devil May Cry MMO. With an engine made by westerners but gameplay/art done by japanese. Then I will perform the wetting of the self.

why can't i view this video damnit!!!!!

personally, i am certain there will b grinding involved, but as of right now i feel that anything after the Vindictus grind is a walk through a wonderful meadow.

Private video. I say we burn BM at the stake then let a dog piss on him.

As obnoxious as grinding hidden is, vindictus grinding is pretty weak compared to some mmo's out there.

Also the Major in that new TV series is going to be voiced by Maaya Sakamoto, so maybe this reboot will have some redeeming qualities after all.
