A lot of people seem to be saying this looks like a generic shooter, now that even Call of Duty is giving players super strength and jetpacks and that kind of stuff. I think it looks all right, though it’ll have a hard time convincing fans if there’s no plot elements – because if there’s no storyline then it’s just a basic FPS with GITS skins. Either way, I’m a massive fanboy of the franchise so I’ll at least check it out. Here’s hoping there’s some semblance of a storyline. I’d also like to know why the Laughing Man symbol is appearing on people’s heads when they die.
I’m not entirely sure GITS needs an MMO, especially as GITS seemed to be almost over after the Arise series. It feels a lot like when The Matrix Online was released a few years after the main trilogy had already finished. However, if there is a strong enough interest in both Arise and this game, could this mean that there’s more GITS media on the way? I don’t see any real reason why the SAC series couldn’t have continued for many more seasons, so why not?
