I wish it were an RPG but social co-op games are all the rage in Japan.


I agree, I'd have much rather seen this as a traditional RPG.  Sony doesn't need Soul Sacrifice and this, and a more traditional game would really help diversify their library.

But if anything, I think this has the potential to do much better than Soul Sac because it's a lot more mainstream.  So it's a tough call really.

It will be interesting to see if the Hunter genre has reached a saturation point in Japan.  In all fairness, God Eater 2, Soul Sacrifice, and Tokiden, all part of Sony's 'Warrior Project' thing, have all done well.

As Freedom Wars is being developed by Shift, who made God Eater, along with Dimps, it should appeal to the same crowd.   http://www.japanator.com/freedom-wars-being-worked-on-by-dimps-and-shift-30496.phtml

Hopefully Studio Japan can team up with a studio that specializes in other genres next, as another Hunter game would just be crazy.  Still, Freedom Wars does look nice.
