Spike Chunsoft apparently has a lot of games for 2015-2016.

Deception IV: Blood Ties

Coming off the same Dengeki PlayStation questionnaire where Hideaki Itsuno teases a new announcement soon, Koei Tecmo’s Keisuke Kikuchi has revealed a new Deception game is in production.

Get the quotes below:

  • Deception producer Keisuke Kikuchi (Koei Tecmo) – “We’re deep in development for the next stage in the Deception franchise and are working towards being able to announce it sometime in the near future.”
  • SaGa series executive producer Akitoshi Kawazu (Square Enix) – “The latest SaGa game is in preparation. Hopefully we’ll be able to get more information out later on down the line.”
  • Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward director Kotaro Uchikoshi (Spike Chunsoft) – “We’ve got a lot of games for next year and the year after that we should be able to unveil one after another eventually.”
  • Gravity Rush director Keiichiro Toyama (SCE) – “The new title is in earnest development.”

Thanks, Hachima Kikou.

    I’m really curious to see that new SaGa!

  • vishmarx

    lol why?

  • Renaldi Saputra

    Nice, but, KOEI Tecmo, we need Monster Rancher to come back

  • Chestnut Bowl

    I’m glad Deception 4 did well enough to continue the series.

    Still patiently waiting for the sequel to my beloved Gravity Rush.

  • Mikail

    I will be happy if its coming to PS4.

  • bloodiOS

    That’s fucking awesome! Here’s hoping that it’s going to be a PS4-exclusive title.

    • OverlordZetta

      “Here’s hoping that it’s going to be a PS4-exclusive title.”
      How about no?

  • RSene

    What happens with the Saga game? Isn’t it a classic RPG séries? Why no hype?

    • Zackasaur

      The hype is low because a lot of people suspect it may be mobile, f2p, etc.

      • RSene

        Ah… true.

      • Kenny ケニー

        After watching this it really hard to tell what will happen, thanks SE for making me lost hope again… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNJ1y9YUiLY

        • Zackasaur

          lulz

          Bringing FFVII’s upscaled version to PS4 is a great decision. I’m glad they’re doing it. But that presentation was just evil. lol

  • Matt (82)

    The first one ought to be on the PS store. it was a weird little game

  • Bob Obb

    Hopefully the next Kagero is more than T&A. Really hated the character design on Darkside Princess

    • PuppetMaster

      Deception IV is more than T&A. Gameplay are more deep from previous Deception with tons of variation between players trap and environmental damage. The enemies, especially bosses are not walk in the park (except for prologue / 1st mission that act as a tutorial). They aware of the trap and will avoid it as much as they can. Also, one of the ending where you need to defeat one of the boss without armor break her is pretty challenging.

    • Budgiecat

      Yeah I wasnt feelin the 2D character design. Looked like they used the artist from Conception or those Vitamin Otome Visual Novels.
      Woulda been nice if they just went with Fatal Frame like character models

    • nekolife

      I liked the character designs, very nice illustrations, but was not impressed by how they turned out in 3d models. Hopefully their next game improves on technical aspects overall.

      We don’t have to take sex appeal out of everything.

  • Zackasaur

    Looking forward to Gravity Rush 2! :D

    And I’d like to see SaGa do something cool…

    As for Deception, I really need to give the series a shot.

    • PuppetMaster

      If you love strategy where you can lure enemies into a line of brutal traps (some even silly to watch like banana trap) and watching them screaming in agony than you need to give it a shot. But be warn, because there are some difficulty spike that can make newcomer throw their controller and stop playing, especially when facing certain enemies / boss that always aware and avoid all of your traps

      • Zackasaur

        Is it fair but hard… Or kind of cheap and trying of patience?

        • PuppetMaster

          It’s fair but hard. A bit of trial and error like Demon’s / Dark Souls series where you need to learn the enemies pattern and find their weakness. While you did that the enemies still chasing you everywhere you go and a couple of attack, especially from the boss, will sent you to game over screen.

          • Zackasaur

            Well, that sounds okay! Thanks for the feedback. c: I’ve long wanted to pick up Deception IV (probably for Vita), but maybe I’ll wait to see Deception V.

            • PuppetMaster

              No problem. If you going to buy Deception IV than i suggest getting the PS3 ver because you can save your replay and upload it to youtube.

              • Zackasaur

                Huh, well that’s conflicting! I’d rather play a game like this on Vita, but recording fun traps also sounds fun.

        • nekolife

          It’s more cheap in favor of the player because enemy AI is … nonexistent. They just dumbly follow you around without being a real threat.

          The gameplay is also very repetitive. More fun in short bursts, so I recently downloaded it to PSV to see if it will get more play time there.

          • PuppetMaster

            The A.I is nonexistent just for early mission because it’s a tutorial. After that the enemies will aware of your traps. There also some enemies that will attack you from far while chasing you, example like assassin who will throw dagger and quickly teleport behind your back or in front of your face. Or enemies with a rifle or bowgun. They gave enough threat for the players.

            But like just i said to Zackasaur. Deception is a strategy game about using traps. It’s not for everyone, especially for people who’s looking for action or set pieces like Uncharted or CoD.

            • nekolife

              I played through plenty of the game, and there is never any meaningful AI. Always very stupid behavior and minor threat.

  • PrinceHeir

    Wow i was just thinking of buying Deception IV on Vita last night!

    SaGa! Hope it’s not a mobile like what happened to Mana series.

    Didn’t Zero Escape 3 didn’t happen because they didn’t have any funding? I hope the game finally comes to fruiton!

    Gravity Rush 2!!!!!
