Square Enix PS4 announcement incoming

[Crystal Power]

It looks like School of Ragnarok won’t be Square Enix’s only Tokaigi 2015 reveal. The publisher launched a teaser site today for something called Project Code Z, a PlayStation 4 title it plans on revealing at Tokaigi.

The title will be introduced at Square Enix’s 16:45 stage event on January 31, which will be live streamed on Niconico.

Project Code Z also has its own Twitter account.

Tokaigi runs from January 31 to February 1.

I'm scared, please don't be free-to-play or cheap digital only game.

We need the return of new creative IP's from Square again, like when they used to make games Xenogears, Parasite Eve, etc. No one takes them serious anyone...

Hmm... if it's a PS4 release, hopefully it won't be a free-to-play or cheap digital only game, I can see that if they were to say a mobile game.

 

[yeah_93]

Hmmm, interesting. But it's coming in 3 days, so the mystery won't last long.

@APZonerunner can you please move this to the correct sub forums, it should be in the "General Gaming Discussion", I accidentally created here. Of course it wouldn't matter if they did announce a RPG. :- 3

Wonder what the catch is?

 

[APZonerunner]

Moved as requested. Thinkin' this is a new IP, but am curious to see how that pans out...!

 

[Jenova]

Really hoping this is a New IP. Square could use more of those.

This new console RPG might be developed by the newly formed studio. And that studio was formed to make games for hardcore JRPG fans. Whether it's a new or existing IP, I'm glad that Square Enix is getting back on track to making console JRPG games. I also wish that the upcoming SaGa could be on consoles too. As well as the next Mana game.

I can totally see the transition animation you have it there. Hilarious.

You all got it wrong, it's actually Zelda XXXXXD

Legend of Zelda RPG. Well they did one with Mario so why the heck no ?

My guess is if it's a big budget AAA game, then it's going to be something that targets that Microsoft and Sony demographic. It's going to be something safe. Something that sells. This rules out pretty much all of Square Enix older IPs as nothing makes sense to revisit and invest that much money in today. Parasite Eve would probably be the only exception really.

If it's not a big budget AAA project, then it’s probably going to be something that falls along the lines of a mid-sized project. This could be anything. Square Enix could tackle an older IP or try something new that allows creative freedom and isn’t something that has to be safe.

This could also be something episodic like that Life is Strange game that just came out too.

I would love for them to give Parasite Eve a chance on a home console! The 3rd Birthday had good to decent sales in Japan. especially for a PSP game. Unfortunately though I'm sure this can't be Parasite Eve related, those scenery in the "Z" logo looks to serene and nature filled to be Parasite Eve.

I want to play The 3rd Birthday.....

It looks like a new IP.

I don't think it is either. Couple of these images look like they're either concept art or low quality in-game stuff. Couple of them have this mosaic look to them too.

It better be a Chrono Sequal

I wouldn't get my hopes up for that.
