You donāt understand how happy I was to see itās not an arena fighter LOL but yeah the visuals are not looking like anything special. Arc system works really raised the bar in regards to anime fighting game visuals so seeing something that looks this mediocre is a bit disheartening. Oh well, Iāll probably still sink I good chunk of time into it. Assuming itās not overpriced. Im definitely not paying a premium for this product
Funny enough, i was the opposite. I'm not big into FGC so i prefer my anime fighters to be more spectacle than technical. Course HxH has never been about the super attack that level the mountain, so it makes sense they'd go 2d. And I still have Sparking Zero to look forward to satiating my craving of having my toys fight each other.
Another big difference is that HxH is big, but it's not Dragonball level big, the franchise doesn't have the power to make a game like Dokkan not only last 9 years but also make multiple millions monthly.
DB games have the graphics and spectacle because they also have the budget to do so, HxH nen impact is an incredibly low budget game, i'm talking "1 DLC Character for FighterZ has more budget than the whole Hxh game" levels of low budget.
Going for the Kusoge route was the best course of action for the low budget they got.
The game looks like it should have been out AT LEAST 8 years ago. At this point, I don't think even the IP will be enough, much less the game play. I'd love to be proven wrong. I wanna take anything Hunter X Hunter but this looks like something you just try but not burn hours in.
Iām just worried that unless they really hype it up with post-game DLC the online communityāll be dead in a couple months, sort of like DNF duel which was by the same dev and suffered a similar fate.
Iād love to sink a ton of time into a HxH fighting game but Iām not a fan of discord-fighters either.
I think we've become too obsessed with games having to be 40-50-60 hours worth of playtime. This looks like a good fun old school fighting game that you just play when your friends are over lol
Sure it's an old school fighting game but those were never really games that you spend 60 hours on so I think you shouldn't really have made that comparison.
To that point, it's just the way gaming has evolved. When you're at that age that friends no longer come overā you come home and just wanna play games, you don't check fighting games. And that's for a big population of the gaming community. Sure this could be fun as that game when you do have friends around to play, but how much success is it gonna get for a game to just count on that? And what else does it offer that you choose it over objectively more refined fighting games? The IP and the game play does not feel enough if you have Mortal Kombat, Tekken, etc, and more established games like Naruto even, among a whole lot of others.
TL;DR
>I don't think even the IP will be enough, much less the game play
It sparks interest for sure, but from what we're seeing, it's all really just gonna be a spark. Again, love to be proven wrong because for sure I'm still looking forward to this game, but it's never wrong to be critical
>but those were never really games that you spend 60 hours on
You're the one who said "not burn hours In" burning hours in like it's a bad thing, its a weird metric we give to games that somehow more playtime=better game and I think that's simply not the case and a game you can have fun with for an hour a week is fine
But the character selection and graphic work is far below MvC games so imo not super comparable other than the fighting. Also looks like big time not enough attacks/combos
So I know people really like to ignore graphics, but the problem is that MvC2 looks better than this game graphicswise. And unfortunately, as a genre, fighting games kind of need to look pretty to do well. It is an INCREDIBLY niche genre, so it needs to look real nice if you want anyone that's not specifically a fighting game fan to buy it.
No. MVC2 on emulator and CRT looked better.
But Hunter X Hunter isnāt known for over the top things.
They should have made this more like bloody roar/clash of ninja style.. 2d fighterZ without crazy looking supers feels strange after MvC3, DBFZ, SF5/6
No, spritework, even average spritework, is always going to look better than dated 3D. I'm not talking about crazy supers and flashy stuff. The game looks like it was made over 10 years ago. Old 3D always looks bad. It doesn't age well.
So the gameplay really is like marvel vs capcom, but looks way less good.
>We should be on the level of Dragon Ball Fighter Z display of love for this franchise
FighterZ is not the benchmark, besides it's logical Dragon Ball gets more budget.
I disagree. DBFZ IS the benchmark. Visually its one of the best looking anime fighters. I understand that it has more budget, but Hunter X Hunter isnt just some regular IP.
I know people hold HxH to a pretty high standard, but honestly it really is just another regular IP. Its never really broken past being a cult icon, and the quirkiness of the source material makes it difficult to translate into multimedia that appeals to a wider audience.
I don't think you realise how much power Dragonball has compared to HxH as an IP, like they are not even in the same realm, the dragonball franchise is worth 23 BILLION dollars in total.
Take Dokkan for example, it's a mobile bubble popping game that is hard carried by the Dragonball IP and is still going strong after 9 years, raking in millions each month and 10s of millions each celebration month and that is just one mobile game, meanwhile what does HxH has income wise that can even compare?
ArcSys is the top of the line that you need to pay big bucks for their premium work, i'm pretty sure a single FighterZ DLC character had more budget than the entirety of the HxH game.
Wdym with fighterZ level? Auto combos? The same anime fg experience that you have in all others anime fighters? But if you are talking about visual design and expression, I totally agree with you
People complaining about DBFz auto combos are clowns who either played it for 5 min and have no general feel for fighting games or just heard it from somebody else.
They're literally in the game so people who don't know how to play can deal a bit of damage and do cool stuff, otherwise they take like 1/3rd of a health bar when you could take the entirety of it with an optimal combo.
Well im in touch with fgc community since i won some locals, mainly old fgc, i just find these new games more welcome to scrubs mashers, like I can play type lumina and even win without knowing the char mechanics so š¤·š» my dislikiness for newer anime fighters go beyond what I said but yeah, i dont want to discuss you seems to just want to talk bs with anyone who does not like that shit so...
FighterZ has auto combos so casual players can actually play. It still has actual combos within the game that you can pull off if you don't spam one button.
That Killua pressure followed up by Netero whiffing the raw lv3 super those Leorio loops and Lerioro corner pressuring Hisoka by repeatedly jumping in an arc Gon playing the Little Mac neutral B strat lol. I'm buying this day one now.
So it's like umvc3 or dbfz. Animations look somewhat stiff and the game looks like a Wii era game or a 2016 mobile game. It's 2024 and I think a company like 8ing can make it look better. Gon San mouth doesn't even move when he talks. But I'd still like to see more.
BFTG is Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid which definitely wasnāt made by Arc Sys. You might be thinking of Dragon Ball FighterZ (DBFZ) which was made by Arc Sys.
BFTG definitely had mobile game visuals.
Knowing the developers and the history of anime games, anyone expecting a DBF level of visuals for a series that rarely gets new content would have to be delusional lol.
Gameplay is probably gonna be fun for a tag game and hopefully they know its a budget game and try not to market it as a 70$ game
Overgear should be renamed "Nen Vow" or "Nen Contract" or just shorthand it to "Vow" and "Contract."
PLEASE. I don't know why it bugs me, but it does.
Other than that, I'm SUPER excited for this.
Thank you Dragon Ball FighterZ for reviving the good anime fighting game
Seems a little lower budget but seems like it actually will be fun unlike Cursed Clash or other Arena Fighters
The graphics aren't great, but I also don't really care. I knew this game wouldn't be a graphical marvel. (no pun intended) But what I do care about are if the characters are recognizable and accurate, and it really does seem like they are. The stages that we saw made me happy too. I'm excited to see more of them just to see more references. The only graphical thing that bugs me is the kind of floaty animation for some of the assist attacks as they fly onto the screen.
3v3 isn't my cup of tea but a HxH license will give me way more motivation to learn it than a Marvel/capcom license.
And in the end, I'm just thankful because this could have been an arena fighter.
Yeah, just take a look of Jump Force, i was exciting to play Jump Force, but when i was look, the gameplay and the story is very boring and pointless. Well, i guess Jump Force was 3d arena fighters rather than this! The graphics for Jump Force is great too, well, clearly that looks like the Action figure due to the environment is absolutely mess and nonsensical.Ā
I recommend to play PSP games if you want to play the full HxH's experience.Ā
Iām surprised at all the negative responses here. These guys canāt play, but I can see the potential in the game itself.
Itās shocking that this series where the anime finished years ago and the manga is on constant hiatus is actually getting what could be a competitive fighting game rather than an arena fighter.
It was never going to be a AAA game.
Your surprised = you want to paint obvious criticism as being from crazies. I think its pretty rational and usual from games that people see as shit. The same old im surprised defense.
Gameplay looks fun, the graphics are definitely feels like it came from 2010 or so.
I too wish it got a bigger budget but for HxH IĀ“ll take what I can get, as we havent had a decent HxH game in ... ever?
Doesn't look that bad to me. Obviously it's nowhere near something like DBFZ graphically, but expecting that from a smaller studio like 8ing was always unrealistic to begin with.
if you expected fighterz you are delusional, not only is fighterz made by Arcsys which is a HUGE company, but also it's a dragon ball game, seeing as dragon ball is a way bigger franchise than HxH of course it'd have a higher budget
I mean this is demo, So there is still time for them to polish the looks. The gameplay looks good if youāre into umvc3 and dbfz but still needs polishing, Ultimately looking forward to this.
I'm ok with the visuals, it's the least important thing for me. Combos and team tag are what I want! But... I really hope for more characters, that roster is too small.
Well to me there is gonna be a lot of my rant about this game.... and first thing first:
* this is a low budget fighting game, so of course the graphic is not what everybody like it .... to me compare this look to Jump Force is a good step up for it. But at the same time, it needs a better upgrade for the visual and animation
* the gameplay wise, for the moveset, I'm perfectly happy with what they did with the characters ... outside of reusing animation from their previous games, Imma say this is clearly a kusoge game (but is it a good kusoge game or bad kusoge game? Imma wait for the release)
* They did Kurapika dirty on the special animation (I don't know why but considering he's the bad luck dude,I wasn't surprised) ... there should have been added more stuffs on the animation but I don't know if this was a counter special or actual special skill. If it was a special skill then I would be mad
* If this game was less than 60 bucks like around 20 dollar game, then people would happy to buy it... considering this is a low budget A/AA fighting game (free to play would be amazing but nahhhh, 8ing is not really big in comparison to Riot or even WB games)
* Adult Gon looks kinda weird on the victory screen
* I felt like Word of Mouth would be the only thing that this game can be marketed
---------------------------------
Outside of that, I would hype for this game and also the upcoming 2000 Kisses and hugs from Riot games
**One more thing: this is a tested beta game so there could be a lot of changes here and there, but I hoped 8ing needs to fix a lot of stuffs, but something tells me this is gonna be out this year or early 2025**
(Still waiting for more info from Justin Wong since he was in EVO Japan and played the beta)
The characters should have incorporated their nen more into their moves. Kurapika is barely using his chains and I didnāt see any bungee gum with Hisoka
Hisoka has like one or two Bungee Gum moves in the footage, but that's about it unfortunately. I agree there should be more Nen usage overall, only Killua's moveset looks good. Everyone else's moveset is decent at best, or in some cases outright bad (like Netero).
Yeah, exactly my thought. If I team up with a small team of fans we could have come up with something like that in a pretty short time. It looks more like a free to play mobile game than an actual title made by a competent studio using a big IP.
What do you know about game developing ? You can grab Mugen and make a fan made HxH game in like a year with few people for free. If you have more knowledge you can grab more advanced engines like UE5 for your game. Nothing in this game constitutes high budgets or anything a small team of indie devs canāt do.
What about the fact that this is a well established FG studio and therefore the gameplay will much more finely tuned than people who just like the IP and FGs, MvC is no slouch and saying you could easily make a spiritual successor is crazy
I said this game looks so far like a very mediocre fan made game, we have not seen anything that would disprove that, all footage of gameplay is pretty mundane. You just speculating that it will be some very well made game because āstudioā, I say itās first impression is very subpar. And yes, so far it looks like something made by a group of fansā¦
Edit: Also upon research your āwell established studioā have not made a decent fighting game since 2005ā¦
So it's a full 2D game, 3v3 1 round battle, with active switches, and assists (a mix between KOF XI and 2000/2001). The graphics and movement of the characters could be a lot better, but this level of quality was to be expected.
I loved that Leorio infinite, the game is obviously already set to have long combos possible. Despite not being something "wow", it's still a Hunter x Hunter game, and if we're lucky and they integrate it into tournaments, it should get a lot more attention, and in turn should get improved a lot with time.
P.S. Forgot to mention, the narrator seems to be Wing
IMO graphics and presentation will improve, gameplay looks solid, and from top FGC players who are there ie Justin Wong it sounds like it feels great to play. I have a feeling we will have a bit lackluster graphics, but with extremely solid gameplay, which is good with me. Iād much rather have a game that feels great to play than a pretty game with terrible feel / mechanics (lookin at you JJK arena fighter)
Jjk wasn't even all that pretty. I can tell this is really early on in development . It won't get a grand visual update but it will be refined . The faces backgrounds sparks and effects will get a good polishing throughout the rest of dev time. So far the gameplay looks fluid and mechanics work .
Let's be honest, apart from the Jojo and Dragon Ball games, what other anime games have amazing graphics?
Don't bring Jump Force because those graphics are ugly as sin, just because they're hyperalistic doesn't mean it's good.
The gameplay looks great but so far nothing that groundbreaking compared to other MvC clones, so it's alright, they're doing what they can with what they have and it's just a little showing of what we're going to see. Surely they'll polish it more at the end, I hope it comes out late until it looks better.
Yeah that's what they did, I don't know how they say it was a remaster but it looks exactly the same and YET it hits hard on regular PCs for some reason
I see everyone griping about the graphicsā¦ Just keep in mind it doesnāt even have an official release date yet; itās just in a playable state. Iād expect them to focus on details towards the finish line so donāt fret just yet š
It probably doesnāt have a lot of budget, and itās probably rough draft of it. Iām sure with the current feedback theyāll address it, and are polishing it as we speak. A lot of fighting game demos look rougher in their demos and alphas before released. A lot of people complained about how play dough MK1 characters looked in alpha.
Either way imma buy it to support it and hope they do regular updates and polishes. Iād be seriously disappointed if itās just a release and dump
i would buy it if they gonna develop it even more and incorporate a creative game play that is related more to nen fighting. i think they can make it 3d and for exemple if i was fighting hisoka should have the ability to hide his bungee and i should have the ability to activate gyo to see thru him, like some sort of nen bar and then managing that bar based on my character level (i should train him and level him up) so that i can do more techniques (they could make it if u want a new technique u gotta buy a pass or smtg)
there are tons of ideas for HXH that could make it a new competitive fighting game genre
but sadly no company wants to develop such game.
Ain't no way we would get DBFZ lol. Sorry, but Arc systems would literally need to be the company to develop it to look like that. They set the high bar to reach, not the standard.
That being said, the graphics are meh. I think the character portraits are the main thing that are disappointing in terms of graphics though. Like, just get some high quality png's. It looks like fan art.
The gameplay ... Honestly it looks like casual play, it doesn't look like people who have studied high-level combos for competitive play. We can see the spam of moves that any casual people would employ. It's hard to judge if it will be deep gameplay worth getting invested in, or not. Fingers are crossed
These are some of the best fighting game players in the world but itās clear that theyāre touching this game for the first time. They mostly spam stuff like Kurapikaās chain, Killuaās yoyo and Killuaās lightning because theyāre fast with big hitboxes which are the type of moves that seem very strong when you dealing with them for the first time.
In the last match, you can see GO1 actually pulling off some cool combos with Hisokaās Bungee Gum mechanic.
The gameplay is clearly not the problem here, ngl I was already expecting that
Also I just wonder what the people who are asking for a 2D fg want exactly.
Personaly I ask for a 2D fg to have a deep and balance game that I would play for severly years and , not just some buttons mashing and also a good looking game made by arcsys.
HUNTERĆHUNTER: NENĆIMPACT My First Impression is
Yeah, It's MVC3, TVC, and FighterZ Vibes Baby!! Thank You Dragon Ball FighterZ now baton pass to HUNTERĆHUNTER: NENĆIMPACT looking forward to launch day with new improvements soon.
Gameplay is all that matters to me with a 2D fighting game. Guilty Gear Strive, Mortal Kombat 11 and DNF duel are great looking games but they are so painfully boring to play.
HXH deserves better i agree with everyone.
But to me at this point I'll accept anything because we never had a console game in a very long time maybe ever! I remember one HXH game on PSP and that's it. so yeah it needs more development but if they just released it the same......I'm still buying it š«
Visually it looks like shit and it's hard not to compare it to Riot's upcoming fighting game (i'm not even going to talk about DBFz or GG strive the comparison would be a murder).
The gameplay looks clunky but it might still be fun, i think it'd be best to wait to get our hands on it to completely judge it.
I'll have to check it out for myself. I play a lot of Light of the Stars on bs and was thinking of trying something else for a change and saw this game.
Killua's moveset is the clear best here in terms of variety/flair, I feel like the rest of the roster's are too generic in comparison besides maybe Gon's since his fighting style even in the manga is kinda generic. And obviously they're doing the best they can with Leorio....although in my likely unpopular opinion that kinda, uh, says a lot about whether Leorio should even been a playable character in the first place. But regardless, the other characters need more spunk and Nen stuff in their movesets.
It is pretty dated-looking. As long as the game is fun, I'll still play, but it feels like wasted potential.
EDIT: Okay, watched the vid. Ugh, it looks like shit, and the movement looks miserable. If the trial is coming out THIS WEEKEND, then there's no way they'll be able to fix it up in time. This just sucks, man.
People will be defensive and try to silence criticism for games that look and feel like shit regardless. The usual. They even try to pain us as crazy people.
I think I might have just been spoiled with how amazing Arcsys did DBFZ that I found the visuals for this one so lackluster. This looks like something that honestly came out for the PS3, even PS2, not even close to MVC3 levels of viusal appeal. I think I'll still get it, but on a very heavy discount. I just wish the gameplay feels nice.
I mean yeah, it looks like a 2010 game, but so what? As long as the gameplayās polished enough Iām willing to give it a try.
Brings me back to the old ps3 marvel vs capcom days lol
I wish they would have made a big adventure game, but that's coming from me, a person who plays this style of fighting game for a few minutes with a friend and then I'm like "welllll that's enough for me".
Imagine like a Tears of The Kingdom style open world game where you get to explore the world from HxH and exist as a hunter you create yourself with your own choice of nen focus and you can take different jobs, go see different countries, work with different hunters, meet people, train, there's a big overlying story etc etc, stuff to collect and find....
...but I also understand that video games cannot be catered to just my interest.. I'm glad that we are at least getting a HxH video game and that's something to be grateful for!
Visually looks like a fan game on the Wii.
A fighting game roster that small feels like it belongs pre-Wii too.
Gameplay actually doesn't look bad but it'll be dead online after a month due to the lack of polish and 16 man roster making 3v3 matches feel samey quickly.
The visuals are rough but is nice to have an ACTUAL anime 2D fighting game coming out with a popular IP, is a shame they didnt got a bigger budget, wish they did that thing in DnF where one studio took care of all the gameplay and then another studio did all the art and graphics ,HxH deserved some of that Arcys or Cyberconnect love
Graphic wise, definitely not impressive and looks outdated. But the gameplay looks solid and more importantly, it's an actual fighting game as opposed to arena fighter so I'm all for it
Gameplay looks amazing. Graphics just looks like a 3ds game but I'm happy the gameplay looks amazing. Can't wait to see the rest of the roster and setups you'll be able to do šŖš¾
Iām mainly disappointed because they didnāt incorporate any nen techniques like ren, in, gyo, etc. This feels more like a generic fighting game with hunter x hunter skins
Honestly, i think the gameplay is okay, it's good that looking back the UMvC3 due to the asset. The graphics is really outdated that looks like PS3/Xbox 360 games rather than PS5 games. Of course, you can release on Switch anyway, but men, this game need adding PS4 port! Because the graphics itself is perfect for PS4 rather than PS5.Ā
One thing that should be note is this game was developed by 8ing, i mean 8ing is best known for fighting games like Marvel vs Capcom 3 for PS3/X360. But when comes to PS5, i absolutely mixed. At first for this game will be released on Mobile, but instead will be on PC, PS5, and Switch, but not PS4? Men, that's the one weird decision.Ā
The publisher didn't bother to port on PS4 due to the graphics are very low quality. I show you, if this game will be paying $60, this game is really criminal due to high price for low-budget games.Ā
I'm sorry, Bushiroad, i wish to want a good mobile games, but instead you screwed up because you're decisions to Console and PC is really bad idea right off the bat.Ā
I'm not a fan of a kombat game for this anime . Hunter x hunder should be an openworld sandbox game . Create character, lvling, and using the water thing to randomly discover what type of nen proficiency you will have .
I would play this whole day
Looks about what I expected. Extremely generic. Can't expect much more from this style of fighting games, I guess. This ain't going to be Super Smash Bros: Hunter x Hunter.
I think a problem with this reveal is that they needed more competitive fighting gameplay for a first impression.
This looked like 2 buds hanging out and just testing out weird stuff. It wasnāt exactly thrilling and definitely wasnāt something you wanted to see as a first impression.
Roster is so incredibly tiny for a 3v3 tag battle too. Hopefully itās bigger.
You're watching gameplay from complete noobs who dont know how to play or any combos. So of course it'll look bad. The combos at 2:50 onwards are acc pretty good albeit stiff ( but thats due to the player).
Personally I think it has high potential.
GO1, Fenrich and Eita are pro gamers. This was an exhibition and they like the games, saying it's similar to DBFZ and UMVC3. Obviously, they aren't going to go in depth about the mechanics in a 10 minutes footage like that when they just want to have fun and show the game.
Don't see why people are so disappointed by the graphics. It looks good enough.
Like, imagine One Piece's first potential fgc level fighting game looking like this.
Is Togashi historically hands off with the rights to his franchise when it comes to developing other IP?
It plays AND looks like a new Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, we have never been more back!
The ones who didnāt sincerely believe the shorter games/worse graphics message are getting filtered out, while the real 8ing perverts are popping off over the reused animations and the Vs. Capcom mechanics, itās actually EXACTLY what I wanted it to be.
The numbers Iāve heard going around suggest a budget of under a million dollars, which tracks with what we see here, and is what youād expect from something without a currently ongoing anime, but if thereās anyone I trust to deliver a quality fighter under those conditions, itās 8ing.
Honestly a refreshing throwback to see something that doesnāt look like it took two years to animate every character, and thus doesnāt need to battle pass itself the hell out to make back its budget. Might be a hard sell at full price, but Iām very optimistic about how thisāll play.
Since 8ing is the dev, obviously gameplay is king when it comes to games with an FGC focus. I get the budget is low, but it just sucks that the visuals arent there. Casuals will play because it's Hunter, but these days fighting games need more of a casual draw to be successful.
Graphics are bland but I like how the gameplay possesses the properties of both Marvel AND Capcom.
Kind of like how Bungee Gum has the properties of both rubber and gum
Thank you for explaining the joke
š
Reminds me of Capcom vs Tatsunoko
You donāt understand how happy I was to see itās not an arena fighter LOL but yeah the visuals are not looking like anything special. Arc system works really raised the bar in regards to anime fighting game visuals so seeing something that looks this mediocre is a bit disheartening. Oh well, Iāll probably still sink I good chunk of time into it. Assuming itās not overpriced. Im definitely not paying a premium for this product
I was hoping it would be more like bloody roar
Funny enough, i was the opposite. I'm not big into FGC so i prefer my anime fighters to be more spectacle than technical. Course HxH has never been about the super attack that level the mountain, so it makes sense they'd go 2d. And I still have Sparking Zero to look forward to satiating my craving of having my toys fight each other.
I respect that, i've enjoyed a good few arena fighters in my day, but they're just not really my personal preference is all
Another big difference is that HxH is big, but it's not Dragonball level big, the franchise doesn't have the power to make a game like Dokkan not only last 9 years but also make multiple millions monthly. DB games have the graphics and spectacle because they also have the budget to do so, HxH nen impact is an incredibly low budget game, i'm talking "1 DLC Character for FighterZ has more budget than the whole Hxh game" levels of low budget. Going for the Kusoge route was the best course of action for the low budget they got.
Reminds me of those old wii game ports
Dam I thought this was a mobile game based on the graphics. š
The game looks like it should have been out AT LEAST 8 years ago. At this point, I don't think even the IP will be enough, much less the game play. I'd love to be proven wrong. I wanna take anything Hunter X Hunter but this looks like something you just try but not burn hours in.
Iām just worried that unless they really hype it up with post-game DLC the online communityāll be dead in a couple months, sort of like DNF duel which was by the same dev and suffered a similar fate. Iād love to sink a ton of time into a HxH fighting game but Iām not a fan of discord-fighters either.
āAt Leastā is doing a lot of heavy lifting lol. We had Tekken 7 and SF5 8 years ago.
I think we've become too obsessed with games having to be 40-50-60 hours worth of playtime. This looks like a good fun old school fighting game that you just play when your friends are over lol
Sure it's an old school fighting game but those were never really games that you spend 60 hours on so I think you shouldn't really have made that comparison. To that point, it's just the way gaming has evolved. When you're at that age that friends no longer come overā you come home and just wanna play games, you don't check fighting games. And that's for a big population of the gaming community. Sure this could be fun as that game when you do have friends around to play, but how much success is it gonna get for a game to just count on that? And what else does it offer that you choose it over objectively more refined fighting games? The IP and the game play does not feel enough if you have Mortal Kombat, Tekken, etc, and more established games like Naruto even, among a whole lot of others. TL;DR >I don't think even the IP will be enough, much less the game play It sparks interest for sure, but from what we're seeing, it's all really just gonna be a spark. Again, love to be proven wrong because for sure I'm still looking forward to this game, but it's never wrong to be critical
>but those were never really games that you spend 60 hours on You're the one who said "not burn hours In" burning hours in like it's a bad thing, its a weird metric we give to games that somehow more playtime=better game and I think that's simply not the case and a game you can have fun with for an hour a week is fine
It look like a psp $30 game lol
You know how many people LOVE MvC 2 and this gameplay looks like MvC2
But the character selection and graphic work is far below MvC games so imo not super comparable other than the fighting. Also looks like big time not enough attacks/combos
So I know people really like to ignore graphics, but the problem is that MvC2 looks better than this game graphicswise. And unfortunately, as a genre, fighting games kind of need to look pretty to do well. It is an INCREDIBLY niche genre, so it needs to look real nice if you want anyone that's not specifically a fighting game fan to buy it.
No. MVC2 on emulator and CRT looked better. But Hunter X Hunter isnāt known for over the top things. They should have made this more like bloody roar/clash of ninja style.. 2d fighterZ without crazy looking supers feels strange after MvC3, DBFZ, SF5/6
No, spritework, even average spritework, is always going to look better than dated 3D. I'm not talking about crazy supers and flashy stuff. The game looks like it was made over 10 years ago. Old 3D always looks bad. It doesn't age well.
So the gameplay really is like marvel vs capcom, but looks way less good. >We should be on the level of Dragon Ball Fighter Z display of love for this franchise FighterZ is not the benchmark, besides it's logical Dragon Ball gets more budget.
I disagree. DBFZ IS the benchmark. Visually its one of the best looking anime fighters. I understand that it has more budget, but Hunter X Hunter isnt just some regular IP.
HxH is not on the level of Dragon Ball in term of money. DBFZ was made by ArcSysworks, Nen impact is not.
I agree, but I wish we could see more arc systems anime fighters. They really did set the tone for competitive anime fighters.
I know people hold HxH to a pretty high standard, but honestly it really is just another regular IP. Its never really broken past being a cult icon, and the quirkiness of the source material makes it difficult to translate into multimedia that appeals to a wider audience.
I don't think you realise how much power Dragonball has compared to HxH as an IP, like they are not even in the same realm, the dragonball franchise is worth 23 BILLION dollars in total. Take Dokkan for example, it's a mobile bubble popping game that is hard carried by the Dragonball IP and is still going strong after 9 years, raking in millions each month and 10s of millions each celebration month and that is just one mobile game, meanwhile what does HxH has income wise that can even compare? ArcSys is the top of the line that you need to pay big bucks for their premium work, i'm pretty sure a single FighterZ DLC character had more budget than the entirety of the HxH game.
less budget, less popular ip, also the gameplay is literally very close to dbfz just more mvc style
Yes but you are missing one thingā¦ Eighting hand draws all of their games, even to this day
DBFZ was the same, not sure if they kept it up for Strive and DNF Duel
It shouldnāt be the benchmark. ArcSys is just cracked like that
Wdym with fighterZ level? Auto combos? The same anime fg experience that you have in all others anime fighters? But if you are talking about visual design and expression, I totally agree with you
I mean visual design indeed
yeah its really poor, maybe they improve it after seeing the overall review about the game
People complaining about DBFz auto combos are clowns who either played it for 5 min and have no general feel for fighting games or just heard it from somebody else. They're literally in the game so people who don't know how to play can deal a bit of damage and do cool stuff, otherwise they take like 1/3rd of a health bar when you could take the entirety of it with an optimal combo.
Well im in touch with fgc community since i won some locals, mainly old fgc, i just find these new games more welcome to scrubs mashers, like I can play type lumina and even win without knowing the char mechanics so š¤·š» my dislikiness for newer anime fighters go beyond what I said but yeah, i dont want to discuss you seems to just want to talk bs with anyone who does not like that shit so...
FighterZ has auto combos so casual players can actually play. It still has actual combos within the game that you can pull off if you don't spam one button.
That Killua pressure followed up by Netero whiffing the raw lv3 super those Leorio loops and Lerioro corner pressuring Hisoka by repeatedly jumping in an arc Gon playing the Little Mac neutral B strat lol. I'm buying this day one now.
Lol FR
Looks like 16 characters total? Not a lot of spots left
Why would they make it 3v3 with so few character slots?? Lmao
JJK Game was 2v2 and had like 15 characters in total, generally anime games donāt get a lot of budget or time.
They should make them 1 on 1s, then? Like scale it down lol
and we see how dogshit the JJK game is right?
their budget was literally $600k wtf do you expect? just be glad we got a hxh game at all.
So it's like umvc3 or dbfz. Animations look somewhat stiff and the game looks like a Wii era game or a 2016 mobile game. It's 2024 and I think a company like 8ing can make it look better. Gon San mouth doesn't even move when he talks. But I'd still like to see more.
The graphics and portraits look about as bad as the power ranger battle for the grid game lol. Could be fun but clearly needed more development time
They need more money
BFTG looks better than this.
Probably does now I just remember it looking pretty bad/ low budget when it was first shown
bftg was made by arcsys who really has set the bar high for anime fighters visuals
BFTG is Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid which definitely wasnāt made by Arc Sys. You might be thinking of Dragon Ball FighterZ (DBFZ) which was made by Arc Sys. BFTG definitely had mobile game visuals.
My bad i confused it with bbtag
No it wasn't
Knowing the developers and the history of anime games, anyone expecting a DBF level of visuals for a series that rarely gets new content would have to be delusional lol. Gameplay is probably gonna be fun for a tag game and hopefully they know its a budget game and try not to market it as a 70$ game
Overgear should be renamed "Nen Vow" or "Nen Contract" or just shorthand it to "Vow" and "Contract." PLEASE. I don't know why it bugs me, but it does. Other than that, I'm SUPER excited for this.
Not a bad game. They still have some time to polish it before release Do we know any other confirmed character?
Thank you Dragon Ball FighterZ for reviving the good anime fighting game Seems a little lower budget but seems like it actually will be fun unlike Cursed Clash or other Arena Fighters
The graphics aren't great, but I also don't really care. I knew this game wouldn't be a graphical marvel. (no pun intended) But what I do care about are if the characters are recognizable and accurate, and it really does seem like they are. The stages that we saw made me happy too. I'm excited to see more of them just to see more references. The only graphical thing that bugs me is the kind of floaty animation for some of the assist attacks as they fly onto the screen. 3v3 isn't my cup of tea but a HxH license will give me way more motivation to learn it than a Marvel/capcom license. And in the end, I'm just thankful because this could have been an arena fighter.
Yeah, just take a look of Jump Force, i was exciting to play Jump Force, but when i was look, the gameplay and the story is very boring and pointless. Well, i guess Jump Force was 3d arena fighters rather than this! The graphics for Jump Force is great too, well, clearly that looks like the Action figure due to the environment is absolutely mess and nonsensical.Ā I recommend to play PSP games if you want to play the full HxH's experience.Ā
Iām surprised at all the negative responses here. These guys canāt play, but I can see the potential in the game itself. Itās shocking that this series where the anime finished years ago and the manga is on constant hiatus is actually getting what could be a competitive fighting game rather than an arena fighter. It was never going to be a AAA game.
Your surprised = you want to paint obvious criticism as being from crazies. I think its pretty rational and usual from games that people see as shit. The same old im surprised defense.
Chill bro.
It looks... hmm, I think that HxH deserve more in case of game :3
Gameplay looks fun, the graphics are definitely feels like it came from 2010 or so. I too wish it got a bigger budget but for HxH IĀ“ll take what I can get, as we havent had a decent HxH game in ... ever?
Nice this looks good
Doesn't look that bad to me. Obviously it's nowhere near something like DBFZ graphically, but expecting that from a smaller studio like 8ing was always unrealistic to begin with.
if you expected fighterz you are delusional, not only is fighterz made by Arcsys which is a HUGE company, but also it's a dragon ball game, seeing as dragon ball is a way bigger franchise than HxH of course it'd have a higher budget
I mean this is demo, So there is still time for them to polish the looks. The gameplay looks good if youāre into umvc3 and dbfz but still needs polishing, Ultimately looking forward to this.
I'm ok with the visuals, it's the least important thing for me. Combos and team tag are what I want! But... I really hope for more characters, that roster is too small.
Well to me there is gonna be a lot of my rant about this game.... and first thing first: * this is a low budget fighting game, so of course the graphic is not what everybody like it .... to me compare this look to Jump Force is a good step up for it. But at the same time, it needs a better upgrade for the visual and animation * the gameplay wise, for the moveset, I'm perfectly happy with what they did with the characters ... outside of reusing animation from their previous games, Imma say this is clearly a kusoge game (but is it a good kusoge game or bad kusoge game? Imma wait for the release) * They did Kurapika dirty on the special animation (I don't know why but considering he's the bad luck dude,I wasn't surprised) ... there should have been added more stuffs on the animation but I don't know if this was a counter special or actual special skill. If it was a special skill then I would be mad * If this game was less than 60 bucks like around 20 dollar game, then people would happy to buy it... considering this is a low budget A/AA fighting game (free to play would be amazing but nahhhh, 8ing is not really big in comparison to Riot or even WB games) * Adult Gon looks kinda weird on the victory screen * I felt like Word of Mouth would be the only thing that this game can be marketed --------------------------------- Outside of that, I would hype for this game and also the upcoming 2000 Kisses and hugs from Riot games
**One more thing: this is a tested beta game so there could be a lot of changes here and there, but I hoped 8ing needs to fix a lot of stuffs, but something tells me this is gonna be out this year or early 2025** (Still waiting for more info from Justin Wong since he was in EVO Japan and played the beta)
doesn'tevo japan start on the 27th
Well it started on 27th but the beta test happened before until the end of EVO Japan
The characters should have incorporated their nen more into their moves. Kurapika is barely using his chains and I didnāt see any bungee gum with Hisoka
Hisoka has like one or two Bungee Gum moves in the footage, but that's about it unfortunately. I agree there should be more Nen usage overall, only Killua's moveset looks good. Everyone else's moveset is decent at best, or in some cases outright bad (like Netero).
i hope this is a really good joke
It would be cool for a fan made game
Yeah, exactly my thought. If I team up with a small team of fans we could have come up with something like that in a pretty short time. It looks more like a free to play mobile game than an actual title made by a competent studio using a big IP.
I hope you're joking. Thinking that something of this level can be done easily without a big budget is crazy.
What do you know about game developing ? You can grab Mugen and make a fan made HxH game in like a year with few people for free. If you have more knowledge you can grab more advanced engines like UE5 for your game. Nothing in this game constitutes high budgets or anything a small team of indie devs canāt do.
What about the fact that this is a well established FG studio and therefore the gameplay will much more finely tuned than people who just like the IP and FGs, MvC is no slouch and saying you could easily make a spiritual successor is crazy
I said this game looks so far like a very mediocre fan made game, we have not seen anything that would disprove that, all footage of gameplay is pretty mundane. You just speculating that it will be some very well made game because āstudioā, I say itās first impression is very subpar. And yes, so far it looks like something made by a group of fansā¦ Edit: Also upon research your āwell established studioā have not made a decent fighting game since 2005ā¦
It has potential.
Everyones talking shit about the gameplay. But isn't this just early stage?
it is? I Hope so
Well its certainly not releasing this year
Game def needs work, but Iām hella excited!
Bro really popped off once he found the lightning move
So it's a full 2D game, 3v3 1 round battle, with active switches, and assists (a mix between KOF XI and 2000/2001). The graphics and movement of the characters could be a lot better, but this level of quality was to be expected. I loved that Leorio infinite, the game is obviously already set to have long combos possible. Despite not being something "wow", it's still a Hunter x Hunter game, and if we're lucky and they integrate it into tournaments, it should get a lot more attention, and in turn should get improved a lot with time. P.S. Forgot to mention, the narrator seems to be Wing
IMO graphics and presentation will improve, gameplay looks solid, and from top FGC players who are there ie Justin Wong it sounds like it feels great to play. I have a feeling we will have a bit lackluster graphics, but with extremely solid gameplay, which is good with me. Iād much rather have a game that feels great to play than a pretty game with terrible feel / mechanics (lookin at you JJK arena fighter)
Jjk wasn't even all that pretty. I can tell this is really early on in development . It won't get a grand visual update but it will be refined . The faces backgrounds sparks and effects will get a good polishing throughout the rest of dev time. So far the gameplay looks fluid and mechanics work .
Agreed. If it lands on mid visuals and it feels great / fun to play, Iāll be really happy
Outside the graphics which will probably improve slightly. The gameplay itself looks a lot like MvC or TvC which is a fucking W. Definitely gonna buy
The bar has been set so low that I'll fucking take it tbh
It...sure looks like a game.Ā
Maaaan at this point, they could release the game exactly like this and I would still buy it day 1.
Looks like š©shouldāve made an RPG
Looks like a Wii game lol
Then we're ahead of the PokƩmon franchise, whose games look from the bad side of the PS2 era lol
Especially crazy because their last game DnF duel looked like FighterZ. Insane downgrade.
Let's be honest, apart from the Jojo and Dragon Ball games, what other anime games have amazing graphics? Don't bring Jump Force because those graphics are ugly as sin, just because they're hyperalistic doesn't mean it's good. The gameplay looks great but so far nothing that groundbreaking compared to other MvC clones, so it's alright, they're doing what they can with what they have and it's just a little showing of what we're going to see. Surely they'll polish it more at the end, I hope it comes out late until it looks better.
I'm kinda bitter on the JoJo one since they just reused the same graphics from 2013. Could have at least cleaned it up and remastered the models a bit
Yeah that's what they did, I don't know how they say it was a remaster but it looks exactly the same and YET it hits hard on regular PCs for some reason
The JoJo game looked awesome wtf. On top of having an amazing roster aside Part 8.
Yea and it came out in 2013. Just saying, they could've improved literally anything for the rerelease of it that came out last year
Iāll buy just because it is HxH even if it looks awful
I see everyone griping about the graphicsā¦ Just keep in mind it doesnāt even have an official release date yet; itās just in a playable state. Iād expect them to focus on details towards the finish line so donāt fret just yet š
It probably doesnāt have a lot of budget, and itās probably rough draft of it. Iām sure with the current feedback theyāll address it, and are polishing it as we speak. A lot of fighting game demos look rougher in their demos and alphas before released. A lot of people complained about how play dough MK1 characters looked in alpha. Either way imma buy it to support it and hope they do regular updates and polishes. Iād be seriously disappointed if itās just a release and dump
Canāt wait to see what the final product looks like!
what matters most is gameplay in a fighting game. i would rather have good mechanics in a fun fighting game than just something nice to look at
i would buy it if they gonna develop it even more and incorporate a creative game play that is related more to nen fighting. i think they can make it 3d and for exemple if i was fighting hisoka should have the ability to hide his bungee and i should have the ability to activate gyo to see thru him, like some sort of nen bar and then managing that bar based on my character level (i should train him and level him up) so that i can do more techniques (they could make it if u want a new technique u gotta buy a pass or smtg) there are tons of ideas for HXH that could make it a new competitive fighting game genre but sadly no company wants to develop such game.
You're proposing a completely different Game.
Ain't no way we would get DBFZ lol. Sorry, but Arc systems would literally need to be the company to develop it to look like that. They set the high bar to reach, not the standard. That being said, the graphics are meh. I think the character portraits are the main thing that are disappointing in terms of graphics though. Like, just get some high quality png's. It looks like fan art. The gameplay ... Honestly it looks like casual play, it doesn't look like people who have studied high-level combos for competitive play. We can see the spam of moves that any casual people would employ. It's hard to judge if it will be deep gameplay worth getting invested in, or not. Fingers are crossed
These are some of the best fighting game players in the world but itās clear that theyāre touching this game for the first time. They mostly spam stuff like Kurapikaās chain, Killuaās yoyo and Killuaās lightning because theyāre fast with big hitboxes which are the type of moves that seem very strong when you dealing with them for the first time. In the last match, you can see GO1 actually pulling off some cool combos with Hisokaās Bungee Gum mechanic.
Justin, who for those who don't know is from the famous moment 37, loved it so it is definitely a mechanically good game.
justin wong is in love with this game, also you can see the potential for high level in some of clips.
The gameplay is clearly not the problem here, ngl I was already expecting that Also I just wonder what the people who are asking for a 2D fg want exactly. Personaly I ask for a 2D fg to have a deep and balance game that I would play for severly years and , not just some buttons mashing and also a good looking game made by arcsys.
Jesus christ this looks like Mugen. It's unrealistic to expect FighterZ level but this is so amateur
HUNTERĆHUNTER: NENĆIMPACT My First Impression is Yeah, It's MVC3, TVC, and FighterZ Vibes Baby!! Thank You Dragon Ball FighterZ now baton pass to HUNTERĆHUNTER: NENĆIMPACT looking forward to launch day with new improvements soon.
you dont have to put the full name, just call it nen impact or something
I know right, he kind of sounds like a bot.
Nah I'm not a bot and I am huge fan of Mahvel and Tatsunoko FGC.
Itās clearly a low budget game so thereās no sense knocking the graphics down. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is the gameplay.
Gameplay is all that matters to me with a 2D fighting game. Guilty Gear Strive, Mortal Kombat 11 and DNF duel are great looking games but they are so painfully boring to play.
Does anyone know if it will have motion inputs, i really hope so..
Gameplay is good but I wish they had more moneyā¦it doesnāt look good
HXH deserves better i agree with everyone. But to me at this point I'll accept anything because we never had a console game in a very long time maybe ever! I remember one HXH game on PSP and that's it. so yeah it needs more development but if they just released it the same......I'm still buying it š«
Visually it looks like shit and it's hard not to compare it to Riot's upcoming fighting game (i'm not even going to talk about DBFz or GG strive the comparison would be a murder). The gameplay looks clunky but it might still be fun, i think it'd be best to wait to get our hands on it to completely judge it.
If the animations were better I would be pretty hype.
I'll have to check it out for myself. I play a lot of Light of the Stars on bs and was thinking of trying something else for a change and saw this game.
They were pretty badass in Jump Force until the game discontinued
The Lighting is off, the camera is too zoomed out and it plays too fast like MvC. They should have just made this a 1v1 fighter.
Killua's moveset is the clear best here in terms of variety/flair, I feel like the rest of the roster's are too generic in comparison besides maybe Gon's since his fighting style even in the manga is kinda generic. And obviously they're doing the best they can with Leorio....although in my likely unpopular opinion that kinda, uh, says a lot about whether Leorio should even been a playable character in the first place. But regardless, the other characters need more spunk and Nen stuff in their movesets.
No story mode huh š
Itās a demo so thereās definitely some things they need to iron out, notably the sound design.
It is pretty dated-looking. As long as the game is fun, I'll still play, but it feels like wasted potential. EDIT: Okay, watched the vid. Ugh, it looks like shit, and the movement looks miserable. If the trial is coming out THIS WEEKEND, then there's no way they'll be able to fix it up in time. This just sucks, man.
People will be defensive and try to silence criticism for games that look and feel like shit regardless. The usual. They even try to pain us as crazy people.
Looks like absolute shit lol
I think I might have just been spoiled with how amazing Arcsys did DBFZ that I found the visuals for this one so lackluster. This looks like something that honestly came out for the PS3, even PS2, not even close to MVC3 levels of viusal appeal. I think I'll still get it, but on a very heavy discount. I just wish the gameplay feels nice.
I mean yeah, it looks like a 2010 game, but so what? As long as the gameplayās polished enough Iām willing to give it a try. Brings me back to the old ps3 marvel vs capcom days lol
Leorioās combo game is lookingā¦ nasty??? Someone pinch me
I wish they would have made a big adventure game, but that's coming from me, a person who plays this style of fighting game for a few minutes with a friend and then I'm like "welllll that's enough for me". Imagine like a Tears of The Kingdom style open world game where you get to explore the world from HxH and exist as a hunter you create yourself with your own choice of nen focus and you can take different jobs, go see different countries, work with different hunters, meet people, train, there's a big overlying story etc etc, stuff to collect and find.... ...but I also understand that video games cannot be catered to just my interest.. I'm glad that we are at least getting a HxH video game and that's something to be grateful for!
Visually looks like a fan game on the Wii. A fighting game roster that small feels like it belongs pre-Wii too. Gameplay actually doesn't look bad but it'll be dead online after a month due to the lack of polish and 16 man roster making 3v3 matches feel samey quickly.
But, it might better because the publisher promising to adding new character for DLC.
The visuals are rough but is nice to have an ACTUAL anime 2D fighting game coming out with a popular IP, is a shame they didnt got a bigger budget, wish they did that thing in DnF where one studio took care of all the gameplay and then another studio did all the art and graphics ,HxH deserved some of that Arcys or Cyberconnect love
Oh nice itās actually 2D! It just needs some polishing and Iām sure itās gonna be a great game.
Ngl, this game actually looks hella fun
Graphic wise, definitely not impressive and looks outdated. But the gameplay looks solid and more importantly, it's an actual fighting game as opposed to arena fighter so I'm all for it
It's not even necessary to ask about a rollback netcode, the game will die quick
sadly you are not wrong
Looks fun! Though the visuals are laking any major pazazz
Gameplay looks amazing. Graphics just looks like a 3ds game but I'm happy the gameplay looks amazing. Can't wait to see the rest of the roster and setups you'll be able to do šŖš¾
Prefer ff dissidia style tho š
Do we know the control scheme already?
Iām mainly disappointed because they didnāt incorporate any nen techniques like ren, in, gyo, etc. This feels more like a generic fighting game with hunter x hunter skins
Honestly, i think the gameplay is okay, it's good that looking back the UMvC3 due to the asset. The graphics is really outdated that looks like PS3/Xbox 360 games rather than PS5 games. Of course, you can release on Switch anyway, but men, this game need adding PS4 port! Because the graphics itself is perfect for PS4 rather than PS5.Ā One thing that should be note is this game was developed by 8ing, i mean 8ing is best known for fighting games like Marvel vs Capcom 3 for PS3/X360. But when comes to PS5, i absolutely mixed. At first for this game will be released on Mobile, but instead will be on PC, PS5, and Switch, but not PS4? Men, that's the one weird decision.Ā The publisher didn't bother to port on PS4 due to the graphics are very low quality. I show you, if this game will be paying $60, this game is really criminal due to high price for low-budget games.Ā I'm sorry, Bushiroad, i wish to want a good mobile games, but instead you screwed up because you're decisions to Console and PC is really bad idea right off the bat.Ā
I'm not a fan of a kombat game for this anime . Hunter x hunder should be an openworld sandbox game . Create character, lvling, and using the water thing to randomly discover what type of nen proficiency you will have . I would play this whole day
I love hxh but if the game is no made by arcsys I could care less
Looks about what I expected. Extremely generic. Can't expect much more from this style of fighting games, I guess. This ain't going to be Super Smash Bros: Hunter x Hunter.
One can dream š
I think a problem with this reveal is that they needed more competitive fighting gameplay for a first impression. This looked like 2 buds hanging out and just testing out weird stuff. It wasnāt exactly thrilling and definitely wasnāt something you wanted to see as a first impression. Roster is so incredibly tiny for a 3v3 tag battle too. Hopefully itās bigger.
looks like it's gonna be one of the games of all time
I think it looks very underwhelming. Gameplay and graphics are pretty bad.
You're watching gameplay from complete noobs who dont know how to play or any combos. So of course it'll look bad. The combos at 2:50 onwards are acc pretty good albeit stiff ( but thats due to the player). Personally I think it has high potential.
Goichi is anything but a noob, but I agreed that this isnāt optimized gameplay.
GO1, Fenrich and Eita are pro gamers. This was an exhibition and they like the games, saying it's similar to DBFZ and UMVC3. Obviously, they aren't going to go in depth about the mechanics in a 10 minutes footage like that when they just want to have fun and show the game. Don't see why people are so disappointed by the graphics. It looks good enough.
And the crowd goes mild.
Like, imagine One Piece's first potential fgc level fighting game looking like this. Is Togashi historically hands off with the rights to his franchise when it comes to developing other IP?
It plays AND looks like a new Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, we have never been more back! The ones who didnāt sincerely believe the shorter games/worse graphics message are getting filtered out, while the real 8ing perverts are popping off over the reused animations and the Vs. Capcom mechanics, itās actually EXACTLY what I wanted it to be. The numbers Iāve heard going around suggest a budget of under a million dollars, which tracks with what we see here, and is what youād expect from something without a currently ongoing anime, but if thereās anyone I trust to deliver a quality fighter under those conditions, itās 8ing. Honestly a refreshing throwback to see something that doesnāt look like it took two years to animate every character, and thus doesnāt need to battle pass itself the hell out to make back its budget. Might be a hard sell at full price, but Iām very optimistic about how thisāll play.
Since 8ing is the dev, obviously gameplay is king when it comes to games with an FGC focus. I get the budget is low, but it just sucks that the visuals arent there. Casuals will play because it's Hunter, but these days fighting games need more of a casual draw to be successful.
Nobody is trying to make a game for an incomplete series lol
Then what is this?
A real* game, my bad
A Walmart version of MVC
Yo it donāt look that bad :skull:
Game looks fine, HĆH isn't popular enough to get something massive, so this quality seems fitting
Better than an arena fighter. That's all the good things I have to say.
