SilentSecurity Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 At first I thought this was part of the newest .hack games to come out (G.U.) but as I read this: [url]http://www.dothackers.net/fragment.php[/url] It doesn't seem to be part of .hack//G.U. at all. Does anyone know more about this? ~Wes~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010DigitalBoy Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I do. Its an online game in the .hack universe. It is 75% complete and scheduled to be released in Japan by the end of the year. It will be available for Playstation 2 and PC. You can finda little more information on RPGamer.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie! Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Ooh? More .hack goodness, I see. The .hack series (video game and TV) were such a huge success. Kite in the video game series were an epilogue to the TV series (since Skeith appears in the game after the TV series), G.U. is an epilogue to .hack//Quarantine, and so I'd imagine Fragment is an epilogue to G.U. Kite stars in G.U., so perhaps he makes an appearance in Fragment? I don't know, I'm quite the expert on the existing games (if I do say so myself), not ones to come. If Fragment will be on PS2, I'll keep myself busy for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodbye, Face Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Fragment was actually the original The World. It was hinted upon in one of the LIMINALITY discs that came with one of the games. Basically, instead of entering three words like in the "newer" game, you would input letters, either spelling a word or just random jibberish, and be teleported to a randomly generated map. It was basically the prototype to The World, and there's supposedly many secrets deep inside... I'll have to watch that featurette again. I'm glad it's free though, I'll be getting it for the PC...

Guest Satoshi-sama Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Well..everyone here is mostly right. .Hack//Fragment is set for Japan release in late September. It has been said that the release for America might be in early 2006, but it is only rumors. Yes, in the seires, games, and Ova, Fragment was the prelude to 'the World'. It had many problems and bugs in it, which eventually led to the upgraded version called 'The World' This lead us to believe that maybe this game .Hack//Fragment will be the first of two installments. One being Fragment and the other being The World The other thing is that the game will not be set for the PC. They are making it so that the game will be on PS2 and have connectablility to the PC. The PC will be used with a program so you can create your own dungeons and such. It will also be used with the technology for going on to servers and such. The game will strictly be on PS2 though. And yes, it will be free. In the game, you will be able to create characters like ther series and even modify things such as facial features, clothing, ect...You will be able to play online and ofline. During online play, you will be able to level up, althuogh you will not get the expierences that online play provides. When online, you will be able to join up with two other players and go off on adventures. There will also be events where you can win items. The game will be very much similar to the series. Offline, yu will have the option to play with the computer and go on missions. That waym you will be able to level up you character more easily. The different people you will see during the gane iffkube, will range from the anime to the manga. You will be able to meet such characters as Subaru, Tsukasa, Shugo and many others. Offline, will be very similar to that of the current .Hack games. I hope I have answed all of your qustions. If you want to know anything else, you can simply PM me, or email me at Inufan9113. If you have AIM, you can im me at Inureaver13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MirielleChan Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 So, wait, the game is on the PS2 or the PC? Does the PS2 have to be hooked up to the PC? Wha? *Confuzzled* I'd heard about it not coming to America once, but seeing as it aparently will.... yay! ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSecurity Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 From what I've heard there's going to be a release for not just the PS2 but for the PC also. But those are only rumors I've heard. [quote] So, wait, the game is on the PS2 or the PC? Does the PS2 have to be hooked up to the PC?

silpheedpilot Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 [COLOR=Blue][SIZE=1]Ah! .hack! Well...MORE .hack, I mean. I just slogged through the first one, and I must say that I'm not impressed in the slightest. I loved the anime, and I've seen every episode but I never actually got down to playing the games. So, about 15 some hours ago I picked it up and started playing. It was novelty at first but then it became too repetitive, and lackluster compared to other RPGs out there. Not just RPGs of these years but even past RPGs. Its a shame really, it could've been much better gameplay wise. The story was great, which is why I'm going to bring myself to play the other games. Though, now hearing about the new one I need to quickly mop up Kite's story and get ready for the next one. Hopefully it plays better. Alot better.[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kaibutsu Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 [b][SIZE=2][FONT=Tahoma].hack//FRAGMENT is being developed for the PS2. Using a standard PS2 Network Adapter (FRAGMENT doesn't use a harddrive), you will adventure alongside other US players. But because of the server setup, I'm not sure if JP and US will beable to play, my personal guess being no. When playing Online, you first create your character. You can give your character a name, profession and gender, and even modify its physical appearance. Once you have a character, you enter a lobby and search for two other players to join you on an adventure. Gameplay in FRAGMENT takes place in groups of three. The game can also be played offline, where two computer controlled character become your group members. The adventures and characters you will meet span the entire .hack universe including comics, anime and games. You'll be able to raise your own characters Offline and take them Online, which worries me as it's an easy way to exploit the system. Many people are mistaken that it'll be a Phantasy Star Online experience, well it won't be. It is a RPG and although no gameplay specfics have been released, I would expect more of a Final Fantasy feel to the adventures. Although they hint at using your PC as a server, I'm going to assume it's optional. If it's not, then I don't see the point of making it for PS2. Rather, they should use the PS2 harddrive and make FRAGMENT for PC as well, then allowing for player made dungeons to be tradeable, downloadable and uploaded via USB to the PS2. Those with PCs that want to make dungeons can download the tools from a site, that way they aren't left in the cold. But until more info comes out, I'm not getting my hopes up. Bandai has made enough mediocre games, and although I like .hack//SIGN, I don't like Bandai. Just my two yen.[/FONT][/SIZE][/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit right now I'm playing .hack//OUTBREAK with cheats like unlimited GP, EXP, and all member addresses. If cheats are allowed in fragment the game just wouldn't be fun. Will you be able to PK in fragment? I think that would be kind of cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oishi_47 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Something I would like to know is if it will have USB headset functionality. [QUOTE]Although they hint at using your PC as a server, I'm going to assume it's optional. If it's not, then I don't see the point of making it for PS2.

Those with PCs that want to make dungeons can download the tools from a site, that way they aren't left in the cold.[/QUOTE] I think the reasoning for not just making the game usable with the PS2 hard drive is that it would have to be fairly expensive, and considering how many people still don't own one it could be a big factor in who it's available to money wise. Also the new and slimed down PSTWOs aren't compatible with the hard drives, so that's even less people who could get the game. The PSTWOs have a built-in network adapter so allowing it to connect with the computer is the only way of connecting one of them to a hard drive at all. Though one more thing I was wondering about was weather there will be PKing, or like WOW, specific player versus player servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSecurity Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Finally! A fragment trailer. I've been waiting for a fragment trailer for some time now, and boy am I glad it's here. Here's the link: [url=http://www.dothackers.net/]dothackers[/url] There's a little title at the bottom that says .hack//fragment trailer released (posted October 17th). Click the pic and the download window will pop-up. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ailes de Velour Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Oh my gosh. Protect Break. That does not sound very fun. Sure, it was welcomed in the first four games, but it was an integral part of the story. Now everyone will be all, "omgz DATA DRAIN !!!1!!" or something to that effect. BAH! I'll probably try to use it sparingly if it comes out in the USA, but I might end up being a data drain freak in the long run. Hey, they used the same music as when I was making my trailer for my failed dot hack Rm2k3 game! Not surprising. <3333333333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
