Ghost in the Shell Online scheduled for early 2014

fond memories of the ps1 ghost in a shell , i really enjoyed that. I hope this ones as good

I'm pretty sure this will make it's way over to the west in a few years.. There is a huge potential market for this game. I just hope that they do the series some justice and not leave it a shallow, generic shell.

Hmmm, a cyberpunk mmo? Interesting concept but I'm not going to hold my breath. Loved both gigs of the series, and still waiting on the 3rd gig but if this ends up actually turning out to be a mmo I will most likely pass.

I don't see how it can be an MMO, if anything it should be done in a similar manner as Deus Ex

GITS was awesome, its weird seeing an announcement for a new game all these years later, shame its an mmo.

*cries* Why! I like the series but why that choice? *cries*

i loved GITS because of all the thinking it made me do, with the deep story and all...but i feel that an FPS is the LAST thing that'll make you think about anything. i haven't tried the games for ps2, though, so i can't exactly say.

it does look a lot like they just picked GITS because of how easily they could make it into an interesting video game concept

Gamespot kinda dropped the ball on this one, quite a bit of info that wasn't covered. http://press.nexon.net/press-release/ghost/nexon-announces-ghost-shell-stand-alone-complex

I love GITS. However, I am leery of any MMO. So, part of me is like, yay, a GITS game, I hole they localize it for US. And another part is like, Darn it, why'd it have to be a MMO!

Awesome show. Too bad the game will be Japan only.

I'm not sure if 'MMO' is the right description, I'm guessing it's going to be a Free to play shooter. As for whether it's going to be any good or not, I have no idea. It'll probably be decent, but nothing spectacular. I'm personally looking forward to it.

for japan? noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Way to ruin a franchise.

Well, at least they are not the first to do so.

*fart noise*

an mmo? right... that will work

FUUUUCK YEAH, BABY!! I GUESS MY LIFE'S GOT A PURPOSE AGAIN AFTER LOOSING MGO!

As a fan of the anime/manga series i'm skeptical about turning Ghost in the shell into an MMO. And also the only game from Nexon i currently play now and then is Dungeon Fighter online..

personally i wouldn't mind if there was a ghost in the shell game made for current gen consoles (if i remember right there was one on the ps1 i think). and only if the game was an action game and had players perform hacking skills to solve crimes and whatnot. but that's just my opinion.

How about getting a dev that makes good games?

I don't trust Nexon with shooters... Vindictus was really the only game of theirs I liked, but they took so long to keep pushing out content so I stopped playing early on..

One of the best SciFi anime gonna be ruined now thanks to this mmo. Worse its made by Nixon, the makes of infamous pay to win shooter combat arms. 

There is no way this game won't be scrapped before release!

I'm both interested and not interested in regards to this.

Interested because it's Ghost in the Shell, but not interested because it's an MMO. This is gonna be fun......

And by MMO shooter they mean a persistent character with a server-wide chat room and 16-player game rooms... right?

Why must everything be a goddamn MMO?

I wonder if you'll be allowed to romance The Major?

this is awsome news love GITS.

Dear God the art is amazing....must be a korean

ahh, GITS...the sci fi that inspired( read was ripped off by) countless other recent sci fi brands. Never really got the cedit it deserved or a proper game to honor it. Probably wont in 2014 either...

And I'm still hoping for a GITSSAC 3rd gig.

DX: HR is a cyberpunk shooter; good game. I don't know any cyberpunk MMO, but the sci-fi setting has been fair to MMOs since Anarchy Online. The game isn't out yet, so I don't want to be unduly negative. But here is my concern:

Major Kusanagi is cool in a way that Adam Jensen is cool. Who wouldn't want to be one of thousands of adventurers in AO, or a trader in EVE, or a Jedi or Sith or BH? On the other hand, has Section 9 been expanded into a division sized (maybe army sized since I wish only the best for the game) military organization? Or do a great many number of fans actually care about the cyber terrorists from the anime? If not, then I guess Nexon better use world reknowned MMO devs to make a game that makes players care.

I lied. I don't wish the game well. I don't really care for the game. Here is my problem. Reputation still matters in this world. Anyone can make an original game. Whether it's good or bad, I say kudos for trying! A bad MMO of a beloved brand will sour my expectations for future attempts, but I like many gamers am generally forgiving especially where a different dev is concerned. Investors are not. They don't become fans of GIS and think another dev will be a different story because the brand is still good. If this GIS MMO flops, there won't be another, even if someone else comes up with a genuinely good idea.
