General thread for gaming news that doesn't deserve its own thread.

Wow, that's cool.

So the game the Summon Night People are making is not Summon Night, but basically Thousand Arms but you're a Demon Lord.

I've been talking with the dev as he worked on this and everything is pretty much done from a coding standpoint I believe. There's even a demo to download and try out if you're interested.

I finally understand the Lunar 3 naysayers.

There's this little petition for Lunar 3 that was brought to my attention, and to be honest, if I had seen this petition anywhere between 2000 - 2017 or so, I would have signed happily.
Not anymore. I feel threatened by this now. I had sometimes heard some people on forums (probably here, Lunar-net and some others) oppose the idea of bringing back Lunar for one reason or another, mostly because it wouldn't be made by Studio Alex, but I was always positive because there are still some good writers and composers and artists out there, especially indies.

Now however I just know Japan's companies all too well now, and they've killed all my hopes and dreams. I would rather they forget it exists... I can just imagine it, a Lunar app for smartphones with gacha elements, pay for dragon diamonds, shitty character sprites that look like they were made in flash with tweening arms and massive heads, and the classic: the poor loyal Lunar fans giving it all their money in hopes that Lunar 3 comes but it never does.

Also, without Victor Ireland around, I have 0 freaking hopes that anything good would happen to it in the states.

It'll never happen. The time to make a third game was probably in the PS2 era, around the time the Complete editions came to PS1. It's way too late now, same with ever finishing the Shenmue storyline.

[kleev_55]

I often think that too, considering that the PS1 was when Lunar could finally reach most of the people it was going to reach, including me!
But to be honest, it's very likely a PS2 Lunar game would have been crappy too anyway. Most of the JRPGs I got to see or play for PS2 just felt off in music, stories and character designs.

Adult Swim: We are making an anime for Shenmue actually.

[storino03]

Should have skipped Shenmue III development and went straight to anime to provide rest of story.
