Has anyone heard the rumors of a new ONLINE .Hack game coming out for PC and PS2? I heard that its supposed to be along the lines of .Hack//sign, but thats all Iv heard.

.hack//FRAGMENT is the first (true) online version of the .hack series. It's already out in Japan and the official website is [url]http://www.hack.channel.or.jp/fragment/[/url]

From what I've read, it's not really an MMORPG like Lineage II is. But you get to find 2 other party members from online and go on quests together. So it's a little like Guild Wars, when you're on your adventure you only see your party.

[quote name='IGN']When playing Online, you first create your own 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 .hack//fragment takes place in groups of three.[/quote]

Apparently, you can also play offline. Not only that, if you keep your save files from the first four games, it will be of use to you in //FRAGMENT.

[quote]Officially, Bandai's producers were able to confirm the relationship of GU and the original four .Hack games. If you have a save file from the end of volume four, you will be able to use it at some point in GU. It's not something that you will get to benefit from right away, but the team promised that when the moment finally arrives for the connection to be made, it will be "something cool and really awesome."[/quote]
