agreed, these new images look extremely... american...

Ooohhh that art style is a big turnoff for me. A lot of 009's charm comes from Ishinomori's Tezuka-esque character designs. This just looks like X-Men in snazzy outfits.

Death by Snu Snu!

I for one look forwards to playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2076 on a neural implant computer as an old lady, cackling in a Roujin Z-style robot bed as I run around at the speed of sound.

And adding a feature that enables/disables app users to join your game would be cool too.

i agree, invite should be optional, it should show a list of Available games for the person on the mobile app to join, listing the ones with better delay \ response \ Connection Available for them to join and mess around.
The Surprise factor of "wtf is happening" would make it great

Agree. It wont be until very believable (but user definable) AI that alot of people will go offline for suspiciously long amounts of time.

The real danger with this is forgetting about your actual surroundings and fapping in front of an open window...and possibly falling through the window naked.

Doesn't having to send an invite take some of the fun out of it? I'd prefer to never know when a mobile player could be ready to unleash hell.

It's still in the new one (skip to about 30 seconds in).

Well that awoke 10 years worth of repressed memories. FEELS

I was with a small group of mercenaries. They were all lost to a common foe. I'll join you!

Lowers your sex life by 100% and adds shame.

Dude, IV was a misstep and the team realized it. It's why V is basically harkening straight back to I and II, except with voices and 3D graphics and such. It's slow to start but I'd put V as the second-best game in the series after II. If you liked the series, don't let IV make you think it's dead. Instead play V. And…

yeah... it's a MUST LIST and we must experiment bad things in life too in order to grow
