>>1712210 (OP)it's pretty dry right now
guess we will see if any game gets an update during the iicon event in late april
I NEED MORE INFO ON ANANTA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
>>1712210 (OP)>Your chars can hitchhikeI just hope I can also carjack NPC's in this one. No way in hell I can ignore a fancy ass sports car at a red light.
>>1715697Doubt that, i bet it'd be similar to LA Noire.
>>1715697the workaround to that is you're playing as some special agent working on uncovering a supernatural phenomenon, so you get to "jack" cars by showing the citizen your special boy license and they get out to let you steal their car
pretty sure you can see that in the newest trailer

maybe nintendo will get up their lazy butts and put effort into animal crossing this time?

New character post from Star Savior.
https://x.com/StarSavior_EN/status/1906541968571900136
She's in the Project Star trailer for a really short time.
>>1723277(me)
With this it's still a few characters left like
>>1723278(me)
I hope they improve this character model. I'm sure that this is one of the earliest character
>>1723282(me)
Imagine that they don't backpedal their decision. They're almost releasing couple/shipped character
>>1723283(me)
I think this will be the next character they're posting
>>1723285And here's the last character. It looks like there are 6 characters left. They're posting news around 3-4 days. So it's at least 24 days. And this is before we count lore post or if there's new characters. So I think it'll be around 2 months. I really hope that there won't be a CBT and they'll just release it as it is. Though CBT is kind of important, especially about monetization, gacha currency+rate, and game balance. Though considering that they're releasing this year, I suppose they still can conduct one CBT.
You would have thought that Ananta would have stocked up more stuff to advertise with more consistently or at least spread what they had out some more. It's been months of silence. At this rate people will start saying it's dead again.
>>1725952Because it's still incomplete. Especially if they want to revamp the combat. I think expecting them to release the game in 2026 is still overly optimistic.
>>1712210 (OP)I'm wondering why they need some of these permissions. Dunno where else to post. Anyone have a good idea about permissions? I understand access to storage is to save the game or to upload a profile pic but I'm unsure of stuff like
>download files without notification
>6days between replies
Lmfao what's the point in this board?
>>1725952I really hope we see SOMETHING about Ananta again, soon. It's a little worrying that we only get news once a year.
>>1726315>generals aren't allowed on the mobile game board, when 99% of the apps that generate discussion would create a general anywayBeats me. Just another board that was made when one of the mods/admins threw a fit over Project Moon threads on /v/.
>>1726315the more important question is, what's the point of your life? You seem to have nothing to do other than checking 4chan every second.
>>1726770>every secondI pop on in the morning for a few hours. Then cycle through the tabs I've opened. I kept this one open specifically so i could come and have a look in the morning. How do you use 4chan? Open the tab, then fuck off for a week and then remember to reply? My life is about making everything better.
>>1726763Too many trannies as jannies ruined the place.
>>1726315it's just that there's barely any news on games, plus /vg/ exists to discuss most phone-pc cross-platform games
this is good for discussing upcoming games like mugen or roco, but the board dries up quickly during content droughts
well, aside from the esl gacha drama generals
>>1723283Isn't that MC alt or was he a separate char before the change?
>>1726315Most of the schizos and retards stay in /vg/ so every now and then you can discuss things here.

>>1729097>>1729108there's a thread up here on /vmg/
>>1728721luckily it seems like its only male mc. lets hope it stays that way
I know why they do it, but I wish more gachas would give their MC a real personality, at least a little. Give me something more of an antihero rather than the usual copy paste guy.
>>1730460Stfu. Read a book if you want to read a story. Game is for interactive media, meaning MC should be blank slate or have the options to choose his/her personality.
>>1730463I'm sure this sounded smarter in your head, MLtard.
>>1730714>Can't argue for shitNice try, tranny.
Don't play gacha? Play whatever normalfags play if you want emcee with a semblance of a personality.
Apparently Stix said on some stream that he and some other people got contacted over Ananta sponsored videos from Netease. Increases the odds that it's coming this year if true.
I've seen no proof of this for the record and I don't feel like crawling through his shit to find it.

>>1730928Yeah that's why I'm not looking at that shit. Seems like another obnoxious clickbait shill. Not worth it.
Stix is that YTguy who talks a whole lot of nothing in order to extend his vids byd 10 mins for monetization. Reminds me of Yawnyea.
Supposed leaker info, not entirely trustworthy. It does line up with what some anons have been saying about Ananta though due to them getting their license earlier this year.
>Neverness to Everness: 2025
>Ananta: End of 2025
>Arknights Endfield: End of 2026
>Azur Promilia: Middle/Late 2026
>>1735982>>Arknights Endfield: End of 2026Huh til. I thought endfield will release on end of 2025, not 2026, based on the fans hype.
>>1730937He doesn't even download some games he makes videos about.
I remember some of his "GAMENAME IN 2025" it's just him scrolling through news, forums and posts with some old video footage.
>>1736122It'll only release end of 2025 if Arknights revenue falls too much, otherwise it'll be 2026.
>>1735982How many of these games will actually be able to maintain hype until release?
>>1735982>Arknights Endfield: End of 2026Impossible. Nobody will care by then.
>>1736241>NtE>AnantaNtE and Ananta are very similar, so for those two it comes down to which comes out first. If the one that comes out first manages to instantly bomb really badly and then the second one can manage to be better enough it stands out by comparison it'll be handed the other games players, effectively poaching the other companies marketing budget since players that heard about only the first game may get recommended and moved into the second. My bet is NtE coming out first but being really bland and boring, then Ananta comes out and is much better, giving them NtE's popularity.
>ArknightsTheir fans are fucking weird, so they'll probably maintain hype all by themselves. Don't know about attracting new players though.
>APlel
>>1736241the hype won't die yet until 2 or so of them release since there's still no other competitive AAA anime gacha besides hoyoshit and wuwa
>Ananta News
>Rumor: First test on 5/20, paid test at year-end, open beta during Chinese New Year (to catch the winter vacation). NetEase is under big financial pressure this year.
>NetEase should be under a lot of financial pressure this year. Many of their games have underperformed/been delayed. How will they manage without new hit games? Infinite Ananta is expected to launch within the year.
>CN image provided
>>1738743So they're rushing the game? That doesn't seem like a good thing.
>>1738743Nah, doesn't make sense. It costs money to get another release permit and if they're trying to rush it to make money they wouldn't be doing tests at the end of the year, they'd be releasing it.
>NetEase should be under a lot of financial pressure this year. Many of their games have underperformed/been delayed.Don't think that's true either. Marvel Rivals alone is a massive success for them which should take a lot of pressure off of them. If they were under pressure you'd be able to see it through Rivals being very predatory in their monetization since it'd have proven player numbers they could try to suck dry. Their eyes would be on Rivals, not unreleased games.
>First test on 5/20At least it'll be easy to see whether it's bullshit or not soon.

>>1738743It seems like for Netease 520 event it seems like Ananta is not included for the event, so this information is inaccurate. Netease would talk about other games like Eggy, Yanyun, and more in the event
they'll need to get their shit together quickly otherwise no one's gonna play bland gachaslop that will pale in comparison to gta 6 releasing in the first half of next year
especially no one in the countries outside east asian paying markets that matter like us, canada

>Caution: Take a grain of salt.
>>1746156None. Returned to radio silence, presumably to release this year.
>>1746211no cbt and release this year?
isnt that a bad idea?
>>1746213They did a technical test earlier, but no beta no. According to """leaks""" they're going for a December release so presumably they may do a CBT somewhere in summer if you trust those leaks. According to the technical test it was already pretty good though, they just criticized the combat.
How good an idea that is remains to be seen. They may just be planning on forcing the devs out of mini development hell to sink or swim at this rate.
Also Tribe Nine EOS'd. It lasted nine months.
>>1746217>they just criticized the combatThe japanese guy who put on an honest review were told to cut so many stuff deemed problematic by the devs so i refuse to believe combat is the only aspect that is lacking from the game.
>>1746217I'm hoping there's some beta test news soon. NTE is putting out pre-reg already and I want to give them both a shot.
>>1746224It's tough, I liked that game. Bullshit launch aside.
It's 7 months though, barely missed the 3 month mark by a day and is spending the next 4 months in EoS mode. It sucks even more knowing that it will exist in this zombie mode for longer than it was alive for.
>>1746515I'm not so sure about NTE. I think they look way too much like they went with a straight Urban Genshin look, even the UI looked the same. Ananta seems like they had a bit more of a unique direction which I think will serve them and impress players better.
>>1746773Hard to say that when Ananta hasn't shown actual gameplay.
>>1746773There's rumors NTE used AI and it looks like it. The characters look like vtuber rejects.
>>1747387Ironically this recycled criticism is less creative than any AI.
2D autobattler RPG "Terbis" has started recruitments for its upcoming CBT in Japan and Korea (no news on their global Twitter). Very E7-like in terms of presentation. One of the only few gachas with a playable male MC that can do class changes.
>>1713461>>1713496YOU SHALL KILL YOURSELF.
>>1712210 (OP)Jump King released on mobile just recently. I guess that's news.
>>1747393It looks like shit, bro
>>1749790so your opinion is shit?
even the ananta discord think the nte character looks great and waiting for ananto to update their model too

Mirren Star Legends
Turn based gacha just released today
>>1751624>CrunchyrollGrim
>>1751640What's bad about them?
>>1735982>>1736122>>1736209No way Endfield is releasing so late, end of 2026 is way too much. End of 2025 to early 2026 is much more realistic.
>>1751662The question should be what is NOT bad about them.
One of the absolutely scummiest companies out there for sure.
>>1751662Their main thing is localizing and publishing IP gachas for a quick cashgrab and then killing them off. They most notably killed off Priconne global, which was doing relatively well, on the main heroine's birthday
>>1752002It depends on how well Arknights is doing. Could be releasing anywhere from end of 2025 to end of 2026 depending on how much Hypergryph feels pressured.
>>1752229The longer you wait to release a product the more the excitement for it dies out. Hyperglyph should be aware of this. Their game looks gorgeous, but waiting until the end of 2026 to release would only be counterproductive. At that point it will be overshadowed by all the other similarly high effort gacha that are bound to release around that time as well.
They are clearly ahead of them in development, wasting that advantage for a nonsensical reason like that is ridiculous.
They are not going to sabotage the biggest investment they ever made just so they can MAYBE squeeze a few more drops out of Arknights.
>>1752229can you really be pressured for anything when every other big gacha still have no clear release dates at this moment, i mean zzz and wuwa released within short time spans just fine not mogging either players
>>1752264zzz and wuwa are direct competitors and each other's release being so close together has actively hurt each other's numbers. Even today those two games are constantly getting compared with each other.
It's not a coincidence that ZZZ is the mihoyos worst performing game (not counting HI3 since it's old and before they booked in popularity). And wuwa is not performing all that amazing compared to what it could have most of the time.
They are both still making a lot of money because there is a big enough market, but they are also clearly not doing the numbers they could have without one another.
Things are going to be even worse for Arknights, especially if they wait more, the action gacha market is already very competitive, if they allow games like azure promilia or Anata to release before them, with silver palace releasing probably shortly after Arknights if they push for a late 2026 release, then the game is going to hurt MAJORLY because of it. It's just not a smart move for them to make unless the game is simply not ready.

Mirren, this game is quite a called back to the classic era of gacha before 2020
Post-Genshin gacha everything is so jaded, I hope Mirren 2.0 will success, for now I just enjoy this short nostalgic trip with Mirren 1
>>1753178the story, it's simple (also the broken English, lol)
the aesthetics, it follows the classic fantasy standard
game is too niche, no wonder it's hard for it to compete with modern gacha, where everything must be trendy, dazzling or grandiose as much as possible
the closest feeling when playing this is SoulTide, Alchemy Stars, etc.

>>1771891>Persona is MLIt isn't.
there's gonna be some bilibili event on 11th next month
roco kingdom has posted about it, guess they will put out a release date (if the game is still releasing in 2025)
Why can't they just fucking release Endfield already, I just drop wuwa and in need of a decent replacement
>>1772614>I just drop wuwa and in need of a decent replacementYou too huh? What broke the camels back? I just burned out after anniversary.
Still I wanna replace the vpid with something. Personally I wait for Ananta but if I feel desperate mayne I'll give NTE a try. Tho I don't like character designs that much. They give them all a lot of black, whire and some bright color. I prefer much more how variety vibrant and colorful design of Ananta characters.
>>1771350>Male in gacha poolFuck off, I don't care if it's ML, Yurishit, niggerstain, or whatnot. I'm not playing just to get bara faggot on my rolls.
Ananta will be at the Tokyo Game Show in two months, September. This is most likely where they'll be showing their gameplay. If the theory that they'll be releasing it this year based on them receiving their license already is true they will have three months after that to do so.
>>1781607Nice, hopefully we get a global beta testing announced for this year at least.
>>1781607this will be the biggest flop since ToF if it ever releases
>>1781769Apparently NtE is doing worse than people expected by a mile, so unless they somehow just release a complete brick I don't think it's going to be that bad.
>>1781771People expected NTE to be good?
>>1781791Apparently. I can't imagine why since it didn't show anything particularly innovative or inspired. I think the best it could hope to be is "stable".
>>1728136>good looking female characters>MC i plain looking faggot are gooks incapable of making good male mc ?

>>1782384Only women make good looking males, look at h manga. If it's drawn by a male, the MC is either faceless, or an ugly bastard. If it's drawn by a female, it's good looking, and it probably has more detail on it than the woman you are supposed to be jerking off to.
The male being plain is a good sign, since it means they are putting more effort into the girls.

>>1783393Explain why there are so many ugly bastard hmanga written by females.
>>1783682Because those are meant for guys to jack off, not girls. When a guy watches porn he doesn't give a fuck who the male looks.

>>1786922>malesthanks for the news, but no thanks
>>1774480I just got bored of it, I think having an ability to fly from point A to point B effortlessly in an openworld game was the main factor of them all
>>1789553that's the best part though. I DON'T an action focused game where I have to wander aimlessly hoping to find a random chest underneath a random tree, that's not interesting nor is it fun, I want to fight enemies and earn the rewards instead.
I think you'll find genshin much more fun friend.
>>1789940i already played Genshin Impact and leave it in Sumeru. i really hate the locked zones behind world quests and endless yaping. It's the most exhausting experience i've ever tried. i feel like need a new open-world experience.
>>1786922>male>furry>brat>niggerBingo in just one character.
>>1789944why not play mmos then?
>>1789940I mean it totally took away a sense of exploration out of the open-world game and that's the thing people wants out of it
>>1789944>It's the most exhausting experience i've ever triedi agree, that's the reason u haven't even bothered with wuwa, i prefer the semi-open style of games like E33 with engaging ambient music
>>1790051Not on wuwa, no. The combat is not designed for it, the character kits aren't designed for it, the maps aren't designed for it, it's simply not the focus of the game. The devs are smart enough to realize it and shifted the focus from: randomly finding a chest under a tree that no one has thought of opening in 500 years, to tightly, focused combat encounters and puzzles. Now you get to actually have fun flying from hotspot to hotspot, instead of running for 5 minutes while watching youtube trying to find the last chest in the area.
You are welcome to play oblivion remastered or fuck around on the desert area of genshin if you so desire, of course, it's a matter of taste.
I'm on Chapter 5 in Zenless Zone Zero. First gacha, totally F2P. It's been good with some quality content but I feel like I could enjoy another one's style more than ZZZ. Should I bother trying Genshin Impact or Honkai: Star Rail or just wait for one of these new games like Anata, NTE, Endfield, Promilia, Silver Palace, etc., and get in early?
>>1792435Genshin is pretty archaic with no new player on-boarding, you definitely have a few months worth of story content to play with at the very least. Too late to participate in most other content in a fun way though, since it's starting to get balanced around the idea of you having been in the Shartifact mines for two years or more.
Never played HSR since it's just a turn based game, only thing it has going for it is the Mihomo coat of paint and artifacts all over again.
If Genshin isn't your cup of tea, then wait for the new stuff.
>>1792435I would recommend you to stay the fuck away from mihoyo games, specially since you are a newfag retard and won't see the typical pitfalls of gachas that WILL fuck you over. Not to mention mihoyo games are incredibly low quality despite asking for a lot of money from players, and spending said money on marketing instead of making the games better.
I would also recommend to avoid any and all korean games, they typically have a lot of pvp content to squeeze the players money, and require obscene amounts of grinding to advance.
>>1792435You're good, anon, don't bother with other live services.
Any news on Chaos Zero Nightmare? I really like the "cute girls having mental breakdowns" theme of the game shown in trailers.
