Frankly, i don't think there is any way of fixing this that doesn't involve changing copyright and IP laws. Just consider how many of those games were created by companies that simply no longer exist, with rights not being traceable in any meaningful manner. In some cases emulation may well be the only way to actually do it. There's also a study commissioned by the EU that showed that software piracy has negligible or even negative losses for companies (i.e. they actually make more money). Personally i don't think copyright is even a good idea in the first place. It mainly protects publishers and does far more harm than good.

Bamco in general is really, really bad at making older titles available outside of 80s arcade games, but that finally seems like it's starting to change. We got Vesperia Definitive Edition, Symphonia moved over to modern platforms, Last Recode and the upcoming Baten Kaitos remasters. I think part of this is that we need to keep supporting their remastered games on modern platforms, and keep pushing for Dot Hack on social media. I don't think it's a lost cause at all. And as for SAO, I don't think it needs to be competition! Both are published by the same company, have Kite and Black Rose or Haseo appear as cameos in an SAO game or a mobile title! It can be "Hey, if you like *this* series about a fictional MMO, try *that* one, too!

.hack reminds me of Digimon. It's pretty niche, but the fans are really devoted. I know my friend who otherwise spend his days off work reading manga and playing Kenshi or Football Manager then suddenly playing the new Digimon game because he just love the series so much. He was similarly happy when I sent him the .hack game on Steam. I'm not really familiar with the games outside of Kite and Haseo being cool, and I think I watched half of the prequel anime on Animax, but people really liked this series. We really need better game archival, availability, and title accessibility. It's insane that pirates are the only real access point for these old games.

.hack back around the time of Mutation's release is what drew me into anime and videogames and computers. It is the most influential piece of media to me. I remember seeing the opening theme to Liminality part 2 on file sharing networks and loving it and wanting to look more into it and since then it's been games like .hack, Xeno, Trails, Ys, and Atelier that are the bulk of my games I play. I think though that for the original quadrology the best been at the moment would be a ps2 classics release on ps4/5 since that is emulation but I do think they should update gameplay as a remake eventually though if that is done I would say the original should be kept with it to show where it came from. It won't happen though, so it's all a dream.

I absolutely love the .hack series. I have all 4 of the IMOQ games still at my place, purchased them in my teens as they released. These are certainly not the best games especially from gameplay perspective. But the whole cross-media story is quite good but you need to invest a lot of time into it to enjoy the complete story. I think one of the main reasons they remastered the G.U. trilogy first was because it was never released in Europe, only Asia and NA and it is not as easy to play american PS2 games on an european console and TV. So the Remaster was the first real chance for players in europe to enjoy the G.U. games. And while I also really like SAO, unfortunately the SAO video games are just plain bad games imo. I rly enoyed Hollow Fragment and spend hundreds of hours in there, but all games following just did not get me hooked.

If we want a remake/remaster of .hack IMOQ we need to prove to Bandai Namco it's worth the investment. Buy the Baten Kaitos Remasters so they see their niche RPG remasters can sell well. and Buy CC2's new original IP Fuga Melodies of Steel to show that CC2's original games can sell well. The problem with CC2's games in general is that their licensed games sell millions while their original IP games sell barely over 100,000. .hack is in between these two being a pretty well known original IP so the G.U. remaster sold about 500,000 last I heard which is pretty good for a remaster from a series that lots it's popularity. CC2 usually says they're pretty happy with the sales of their original games, but I think after the poor sales of Solatorobo and Asura's Wrath over a decade ago they basically were unable to pitch their original IP to publishers anymore. I'm glad they are self publishing their original games now, but I definitely would like to see them do better. Fuga is an amazing game so check it out.

At this point, the way things are standing, .Hack// has not received any new games, anime, manga or anything besides merchandise for their 20th anniversary. This almost feels like this poor game series is getting benched at all possible angles just for something like SAO to get all the spotlight. The problem is that the last mainline series game from .Hack// was Link, on the psp and after that was Last Recode which is a remaster of the 3 G.U. games with a bonus 4th volume. I love Last Recode and even consider it to be my top 3 RPGs I've ever played. But ever since then, IMOQ has been requested immensely from fans and when the 20th anniversary would’ve came along, I would’ve assumed that there would be some news regarding a series revivial or a new game to continue the .Hack// lore. The only thing that I can really hope for is that enough fan demand can come for Bandai to shift their attention towards this series in hopes for a remaster or remake of the original IMOQ games, another .Hack// game to remaster or a whole new .Hack// game. In this day and age, most popular games are being either remastered or remade, it just feels like a matter of time and demand for IMOQ to eventually come to modern consoles as the game has aged in gameplay as well as how to find a legitimate way to get all 4 without having to spend an arm and leg to play them which in themselves can be improved upon greatly. I would feel really bad if this is where the game series ended as the lore and story is unique to everything that was out back then and even now. I'm willing to give time because I don’t want people to give up on the potential of this series.

I only ever heard of .hack through the Crossover title ProjectXZone. I thought the characters were pretty cool from that game and they even brought in Haseo in the sequel.

It just sucks that so many great games from the olden days kind of have to be played through other means, because you can not buy them legally from the creator anymore. It sucks and I wish companies would do more to preserve older titles. If they don't want people to turn to emulation, then they need to let us buy the games from them instead. But hey, some of the stuff is getting done these days and we only need to show them it will print money. Maybe then we can get what we want from bamco. Like older Tales of titles. I so want to play Destiny, Eternia and Rebirth but Bamco never really gave us these games even though many of us want to play them. I will pay them cash money if they port the older 2D Tales of titles to modern platforms. Even if it's just the PC, take my money Bamco, just take it!

Is the relationship between SAO and .hack really that antagonistic? I would've thought that an anime series with that premise would naturally end up bringing more attention and interest to video games featuring a similar setting. People watching the anime and then looking for more similar experiences. I would've guessed they'd be more mutually beneficial for each other.

Not really. It's just hard not to be salty because Bandai is known for being tightfisted on remasters. Just look at Tales. The issue here is that .hack and SAO are a kind of a generation apart. Most old folks like me know .hack from fansubs of the anime, and SAO from its official anime release in the West. SAO has benefitted from the exposure it legally recieves on Sony's platforms from the getgo. SAO is getting resources because it's still an ongoing multimedia franchise with a currently paying audience. The spinoffs still sell, and those blurays still sell in the west despite the prices rivalling JP releases. It only makes sense to fund a tie-in if the games do decent runs. In order to get a remaster for .hack, you would most likely need strong momentum leading into a franchise revival or Bandai funding a cheap port just to have it and call it a day. The first one is difficult considering the pains Digimon had to go through while the second one is undesirable.

It's more that Bandai Namco have inherent trust in SAO that they don't have in .Hack. If they had limited resources and had to choose between a new SAO game or .Hack game, they're pretty much always going with SAO since it's proven itself for many years.

Hey man what game you playing in the intro? It's got my attention I wanna check it out. XD also been playing .Hack//Infection before I play .Hack//Roots. :) Bros been letting my borrow his PS2 Slim and he got me a mem card so I'm happy I never got to finish the games as a kid. "32" now. So hoping to get to finish all 4-5 games. :) ^^ Loving the first one so far. Trying to remember how everything works. It's all dejavu because I'm used to games with auto save lmao. So trying to get used to the old consoles again. :) Currently don't have a PC otherwise I'd play this game on PCsx2. Lol. :P Btw sorry if I didn't read the game title my vision is bad. XD

When I say that G.U. was remastered, I was so irritated. Why remaster the sequel series and not the original series? Still a bit bitter about that.

PAL gamer with the original 4 games on ps2 (have ova dvds too) I've played the games and love them. I think its aged badly but a cool series none the less. Id love to sell mine at a good rate, but I'm scared that if I sell cheap a scalper will re sell for a killing, I. Just recommend emulation

The only problem is Bandai doesn't want to do much with the series. Bamco says no, so we just have to enjoy the scraps they leave for us. 😢

It would be cool to try going into like a Reboot Or maybe they can go the Persona 3 Reload route I'd literally start a Funding petition for Bandai and CC2 being able to create some new .Hack

I have similar views on pirating. If the games aren't made available new, then I don't feel bad about it. Frankly it's their fault for not making the product available. The console industry is plagued by a lack of backwards compatibility, which makes remastering a necessity, but hopefully this is changing. I played these games on my hacked PS2 a few years ago, which is the best way to play PS2 games. They weren't particularly good games, but they had a very unique vibe and interesting enough story. Very short games, around 20 hours each. I recommend the main anime series .hack//sign over the games though. It takes place before the games chronologically and covers the perspective of several characters, so it's a better intro to the world. Just be prepared for a lot of talking and not much fighting, which is actually a very realistic portrayal of MMORPG addicts.

To be honest, I'm against the idea of at least remastering the infection, mutation...etc. games. I can't imagine just polishing them up will satisfy anyone, except when it comes to the pricetag. Just thinking about the "3 screens for one skill" mentality makes me curl up again. But I love to see a remake at some point combining the 4, although first...hell has to freeze up for that to happen.

In my experience, the younger audience might feel a bit of cringe towards the .hack premise thanks to SAO and so many other not-so-great examples. If .hack// had something that SAO and others didn't (imo), it was its depth, serenity, and a sense of mystery mixed with gloomy vibes. It was the complex psychological journey from "down bad" towards "average". However, in videogame terms, it is true that even G.U. is pretty outdated (most dot hack games are), so a remaster of the original 4 won't be enough. To fully rekindle the IP's flame I believe they'd have to try with a different genre, not just the same with better graphics and lots of quality of life. Maybe a Soulslike, or even a CRPG (would be closer to the usual .hack gameplay). The IP has great story and soundtrack, but the gameplay is always so bland, which can make finishing the titles seem quite a chore.

Sometimes i just dont want to bye remake. It mostly concerns western games. Like Dead space and Mass effect. Because i knew who developed this games, and i knew what publisher do to developers. So they will not get even a cent from me.

At this point I would like a remaster that fixes the repetitive gameplay. I tried the first on PS2 recently and just couldn't get into it whatsoever.
