The Downfall of Anime Games

- In this video, I talk about how anime games were awesome alternatives to watching anime just from gameplay, story modes and bosses alone. However, that has changed with recent lazy development and cash grab techniques. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

The problem is probably that the publishers are treating these games as quick cash grabs rather than letting the developers really go all out with them. I can bet that the goal of Connections was to be as cheap of a turn around as possible by reusing Storm 4's assets because that's what Bandai Namco wanted more than probably what CC2 wanted to do. Keep in mind it's been 7 years since Storm 4 and Bandai Namco is a heck of a lot greedier now than they were back then. I don't know if the inevitable Storm 5 is going to follow in the same footsteps as Connections or if they're going to let CC2 go all out with it because it's a numbered game.
Personally I wish Bandai Namco or any other publisher for CC2 would let them to take another crack at another original interactive anime like Asura's Wrath, and potentially make it into a 2 to 3 game series much like they're currently doing with their Fuga series. The problem is that as popular as CC2's anime games are, Storm 4 selling 11 million units, none of their original games get anywhere near that, Asura's Wrath selling 180,000 units and the .hack G.U. remaster selling 300,000.
So this idea would probably be a completely idiotic gamble for any publisher to do with them nowadays. Then again they are leaning kind of heavily on gamepass with their Fuga series and getting some success there so this idea could work out at some point in the future. I can see them eventually self publishing a project like this themselves, but it probably isn't going to look as good as the Naruto games or Asura's Wrath did. It will also most likely see similar results to what they've been getting with their other original games as well. Oh well that's kind of the nature of this studio's original games unfortunately.
We need a hellsing game with dmc style gameplay
Interesting! never watched helping but would be down to try
@@ghostofgames11 hellsing ultimate would probably be one of the goriest anime's you ever watched its really fuckin good
Dragon Ball (Xenoverse 2, Fighterz, Kakarot)
Naruto (Storm 2-4) Are the only good ones to come out in recent years. Every other anime just doesn’t have the quality or the demand like these two series.
Honestly the storm series peaked at 3 while I enjoy storm 4 this is where the problems started to show and connections made it even worse.
I agree! 3 was really the last of the goated formula and 4 is when it started to fall a little bit, but not completely
Maybe but I think we’re entering golden age of anime games you can only go up from the bottom
That’s optimistic and I like it!
Another thing I’m playing fate remnants lit game
Between all of the Storm games, I’d say that Storm 2 and Storm 3 were the best. Storm 2 had the best overall era of the anime to go off of and had the best boss battles in terms of gameplay design. Storm 3 had the best execution of the story with its cutscenes and arguably had the best challenge. In terms of quick time events, I think that I like both games equally. Storm 2 and 3’s quick time events were fun because of the challenge of getting the secret factors, and the fact that you can truly fail the QTEs. Storm 2’s QTEs can get challenging at times with knowing what buttons to press, which encourages replay-ability. Storm 3’s QTEs were not as challenging as Storm 2 in terms of knowing the button prompts, but they introduced something new that makes these boss battles at least just as fun and challenging as Storm 2’s, which is that not every QTE will increase your health. In Storm 2, you can be down to less than 50% of your health but still get an S-rank because of the QTEs increasing your health back up to 100% or slightly less. In Storm 3, you have to worry more about your health not only to survive but to get an S-rank in boss battles like Naruto vs. Tobi.
CC2 really tarnished their reputation as game developers. At this point, only the visuals with their cinematic cutscenes have been exceptional. They can’t make good and fun gameplay anymore. I definitely think that Dragon Ball Z Kakarot is either a mid or below average game because the gameplay is very tedious, boring, and just not all that fun. Also, that game tarnished the Android/Cell Saga (my favorite arc in all of Dragon Ball) because of CC2 not making certain moments get the cinematic treatment, and also them just flat-out skipping content like Final Flash Vegeta, Buff Trunks, Instant Transmission Kamehameha Goku, and Stationary Kamehameha Gohan.
Don't forget, we did get an original story for Ninja Storm Connections.
I'm still pissed that you have developers thinking its okay for anime games to not have local play options. Tenkaichi 4 and jujutsu kaisen cursed clash are gonna be online only which is a travesty for playing with friends and lack of a tournament scene. People seem to forget or are willfuly ignorant that not all friend groups are gonna have the same games and consoles. Local play is a must fir anime fighters.
What are your thoughts on My Hero Ultra Rumble.
Haven’t played it yet, but looks fun to play with other friends…in a way though the template for that game kinda contributes to the issues I talk about in this video haha
roblox carrying anime games
😂😂😂
Dragon ball sparking zero boutta be top tier
That looks sick tbh!!!
Facts
The Demon Slayer game came out to early should have waited for the story to finish in the anime
True! Don't know how I forgot to mention that one too, it actually came really close to being Storm-like and did a lot of things right, but like you said it was too short and needed the entertainment district arc in there at least
the JJK game looks promising but the last couple of anime games have been bad like Demon Slayer but nothing will revive the story.
I’ll give cursed clash a shot but I’m skeptical about it, and true, Demon Slayer scraped the surface of having that god tier Storm formula but ultimately didn’t capitalize on it
@@ghostofgames11 oh no the demon slayer game was just bad probably and the story was demon slayer boring I like the look of this game because it looks nothing like storm.
@@ghostofgames11 the demon slayer game never had potential to begin with it tried to do the storm formula even though the storm games are boring and unoriginal and it's the demon slayer story the demon slayer story is ass.
@@ghostofgames11in my opinion the Demon Slayer game should have came out once the anime was done
Ill summarise this video by saying :
Cyberconncet2
Lmao deadass 😂
Ultra Rumble is the only good My Hero game in my opinion
damn i'm early af. literally first. when i saw the title i instantly remembered naruto ultimate ninja 5... 😔 the nostalgia is too much to handle
haha nice! yeah honestly thinking of going back and replaying them with ninja storm legacy...
Anime games die out by the new AAA games comimg
True too! Anime games have the potential to be better than AAA but fail to live up to it!
Storm 2 was the best second is Storm 3 then 4 and og
My exact order too!
Yeah. THIS is definitely where anime games go downhill, not with Jump Force, One Punch Man, or Shinobi Strikers.
Forgot to mention jump force, that game got the punishment it deserved at least haha
💪🦾
