HD remaster of the G.U. Trilogy for PS4 and PC, with additional features for those who just want to experience the story, quality-of-life tweaks and otherwise. Also a new story that seems to be involved with like some sorta [sp]not-Belmont Haseo[/sp] shit. Comes out November 3rd in America.
I know some people would rather see a remaster/remake of the original quadrilogy, but we can't have everything
I think what's holding back rebooting/re-releasing the original games is that they'd also have to cover all the costs and logistics of releasing the .hack//Liminality DVDs to go with the story, since the OVAs are [sp]what's happening in the real world during the events of the games[/sp]

By today's standards, they could fit all those episodes plus the games themselves onto a Blu-Ray with minimal effort. I think it's less that and more the fact that with the quality content the devs put out now, the IMOQ series is absolutely dated and would be one of the most awkward PS2 remasters possible if it got put onto the PS4 as is.

They could fit it all on one Blu-Ray, yes.
But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about licensing fees and royalties. Plus remastering an anime miniseries on top of remastering four PS2 games.

I think the only way we will ever see a new release of the original four games is if they are remade to play closer to or the same as //gu.
I'm fucking hype, though I'm still waiting on an actual "The World" mmo.
Is this the .Hack games I've heard a lot about or is this another series? Should I pick this up?

If you are thinking of .hack//Infection, .hack//Mutation, .hack//Outbreak, and .hack//Quarantine, [I]no[/I] this is not those games -- it's the sequels, set several years later in the timeline with mostly new characters.
.hack//G.U. does not require playing the originals to understand or appreciate, although you will obviously get more out of it if you're familiar with the greater .hack universe.
I think the best thing I can say about G.U. is that I bought the first game and played it, and after a few days of playing, I got to sit down and just jam on it for a good seven hours and made a bunch of progress in the storyline. As I got up and turned my PS2 off because it was time to get on with life, I thought, "Man, it was cool meeting new friends. I hope they'll be on tomorrow."

"Wait a second."
The .hack series presents itself as a front-end to a 'real' MMO, and while this gimmick has very obvious constraints in an offline game, some of it is pulled off fairly well.
loved g.u.
Endrance was a fun character lol

Wonder how long it's going to be then

Besides the new form for Haseo, it seems more like its basically an animated epilogue since it's clearly not using in-game assets or even any gameplay footage in what was shown in the trailer.

I remember it being so hard to find .hack//Mutation when it came out. I had .hack//Infection and absolutely loved it. I went to all the different game stores in my area and couldn't find the sequel anywhere.
The .hack// universe is absolutely amazing though. All the characters feel like they actually belong there.
