I can be optimistic about it. But for me a new game wouldn't be a good news. They ended that story, already with some difficulty, with ZTD. Creating a new story about that out of thin air would just look like lazy money-grabbing without any interest for the story. This story is over, I hope we won't dig it up and damage it just for money. Useless money sequels when something is over is the best way to damage the whole series. 

 

Let's support Uchikoshi in his new project, and hope for him to turn the page successfully instead of staying stuck on something that is over. 

The story is hardly over as there are several loose ends and ZTD ends on a cliffhanger(see my post I wrote about 10 posts before about it), so they could easily make one more to tie all loose ends, and if Uchi feels like it, could keep making new games in the franchise as a completely new story, completely unrelated to the first saga.Or make a spiritual successor after the fourth, that has the same feel and gameplay as Zero Escape.

But yeah, I hope that this project is a new IP, because thats always good to developers develop new ideas and to not stagnate.And if it ends up being a good game(It will be, Uchi is the director as far as I know), I will certainly buy it.Im a die-hard fan of his work.

There are a few missing explanations (or simply errors) in ZTD, sure. And the game has an open ending about hope. But you can't invent a new story somewhere in there to explain things like Kyle. That explanation should be in ZTD, it isn't, it can't appear in a other game when it was something from the VLR worldline (and we're not on this timeline at the end anymore). It's most likely just a mistake (or they couldn't find a good way to talk about it), we'll know more about it from Uchikoshi himself sooner or later. 

 

You can invent something like "They captured the terrorist in a Nonary game to do.... something?", but that would seem so lazy and ridiculous. The Nonary games were all related and this story is over. They can either make a "Zero Escape" game or rather novel to answer the last questions but without the nonary game, or make another "nonary game" like game with a completely new story. Both in a same game would just seem wrong to me. I would surely buy it anyway because I'm a fan too, but I would expect it to be really bad in its ties with the series.
