When .hack//The Movie Comes Out On Blu Ray, It Will Include A PS3 Game [Update]

Tekken Blood Vengeance is on what Namco Bandai calls a hybrid disc. The Blu-ray movie also includes game content, Tekken Tag Tournament HD and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Prologue Version.

 

.hack//The Movie will also be released as a hybrid disc with some kind of game content. Details about the game have not been revealed. CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama shouted to his Twitter followers that the game is more than a freebie.

 

Before the movie shows up on Blu-ray, .hack//The Movie will debut in Japanese theaters in January 2012.

 

Update: Impress Watch, which covered the event live, retracted the statement about .hack//The Movie being a hybrid disc, stating there was a mix up with Tekken Blood Vengeance, which is a PS3/movie hybrid disc. Thanks to Chris at dothackers for the heads up.

    That’s very cool. Wonder how much significant content the game will have. I’m not expecting a full-fledged game, but that’s still neat.

  • LezardValeth

    Mmmm, that sour taste in my mouth will have all but faded if the game on the disk turns out to be  teaser for things to come….isn’t that the only thing it could be? I take back my words in the previous thread, a movie to get things rolling again plus a little sample of what will cause me to sacrifice my sleep time and go to work light-headedly with burning eyes? My body is ready.

    I hope this game ends up being a demo for an actual game, like most other games that are packed in with Blu-ray releases.

    That would mean we’d be getting a new .hack game, which I would love to see happen.

    Please be a new Dot Hack. 

    PLEASE be a new Dot Hack.

    I’m really glad, but then again, this only makes me want a full-blown .hack game even more!

    Could CyberConnect2 just be testing the public reaction to a possibly new .hack game? If so…

    *goes out to pre-order 20 copies of .hack//The Movie*

    yaaay im so excited :)

  • [The Hunter] Doomrider

    Anything less than an HD version of the G.U. trilogy will disappoint me.

    (let me just prepare to be disappointed)

    • PrinceHeir

      that would be amazing if that were to happen :P

  • theworldofnoboundries

    This kind of trend has been quite a problem from me since the Macross Frontier Movie time. They force us to buy the movie when some of us only wanted the game and helll the price is also abnormal.

  • Kitestwinblades

    I’ll take ANY New game or HD remake! Considering the main cast takes the appearance of the original characters from the first game, i’m praying for a re-release the first 4 parts. You have no idea how Cool it would be to have all of those games in one package.

    I heard that Tag HD wont have online- that kinda killed my hype but that wont stop me from getting it. Would be nice if they made an .hack HD remake WITH online, but if Tekken Tag HD(or any of the other .hack games) are a prime example- i wont really hold my breath.

    Either way, I’ll be happy X3 make something happen CC2!

    I knew it!

    Now this is how I hope people handle videogame movies now, including some hd version or an original game on the bluray, this is just wonderful, at least until I find out it won’t be available on America and I try to understand the game in Japanese

  • AzureNova

    Ha, I knew this was gonna happen! Suck it all you Namco bashers  in the previous thread. ^_^ Even if this game is not good I’m still happy they are thinking about making .Hack games, and maybe this will lead to bigger and better things.

  • amagidyne

    What? That’s.. backwards. Bundle the movie with the game!

  • http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/HAEBCODVH3BGFIHE47BKNDXD2I Jonathan

    who here wants a .hack game that looks that good~

  • JustThisOne

    Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. It could be a new .hack game, or it could be an HD Port. Or it might not even be a .hack game, and it’s just bundled with the game for god knows what reason.

    I’m not trying to be a pessimist, but don’t let Namco troll you this hard. :P It’s great that there could be a .hack game, but they never said that. It doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense to tease the game by using a movie.

    Unless, it does make a lot of sense, and they’re geniuses for teasing a game by using a movie.

    Okay, SURELY I’m not the ONLY one looking at that image and going ‘Oh my god, what have they done to Kite?’

    I mean seriously people, are you really that okay with the character designs?!  How did we go from the pretty solid CG cinematics from G.U. to…  THIS?!

    • Darkrise

      Nope, you’re not the only one. I find it horrifying with how Kite looks like her… It’s like something out of Disney or Pixar…

      • malek86

        Seriously. This looks like Toy Story or something. Orca reminds me of Buzz.

    • brain_cleanser

      Kite might have hit the moe pretty hard, but what happened to Orca? I don’t remember his head being THAT small. 

    • http://www.hamstapowah.com/ Zaron

      Orca looks like his English voice would have to be the guy who voices Captain Quark, but with a little extra caveman.

      I’m not sure what to say about Kite since he suddenly would be right at home replacing the mousey half of Tom and Jerry with that face. : |

      They all look like plastic doll things at this point though so my expectations for anything here on are pretty low.

      But I’ll still watch it. :|

    • http://twitter.com/Kyogissun Philip Irwin

      Well,  I’m glad I wasn’t alone in these feelings…

      It’s really unfortunate, after the really solid performance G.U. gave as a whole, to see what .hack has become I just…  I’m disappointed in CyberConnect.  They’ve handled this series in the most careless manner.

      With a small touch up on the quality of the story and the continuing advancement of the combat, this series MIGHT have had a chance being on par with Tales games or, hell, even the Kingdom Hearts series.

      Between the lack of effort from the series since G.U. and now this awful looking thing, I’m done.  I’m just going to consider that G.U. is where it ended for me and at least then, it will have ended on a high note.

    Wow, I was just talking to my friend about .hack the other day, and then this CG movie & PS3 game bundle comes up, I was telling him it would be great if they did an HD remake collection for both the quadrilogy and GU trilogy 

  • http://twitter.com/menacing_zero menacing_zero

    Guys, chill a bit. This isn’t gonna be some tacked on game. This is pretty much an in-house project and I don’t expect Piroshi himself to half-ass it on the final chapter in his series, even if it is just a short game. I’m not saying to get your hopes up, but don’t count them out yet. 

  • malek86

    So it’s not gonna have a game? Well, it did seem strange.

    Maybe they are gonna make one later, if the movie is successful.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_Q6NXXGMO5XNSMJ64NIHYHFP56A Vince

    Is this a remake?

  • http://www.facebook.com/arsy.genkaku Arsy Akira Genkaku

    is there no other design character than the azure knights???we need more character like Haseo not some azure knights remake…

    If Impress Watch got this confused with the Tekken Blood Vengeance hybrid disc, than what was CyberConnect2′s CEO talking about on his twitter….?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_O6IKTWFCSJLYCYPWEIVJYUVJZY NocturnalKami

    Dear Gods of gaming let this mean there will be more .hack// games in the futureeee!!

  • dahuuuundge

    I’d rather they make a full-on .hack game instead of splitting the effort between a movie and a game. 

  • xAKUM3TSUx

    OMG FINALLY!!!
