No, have you ever tried BotW. Zelda definitely create the new standard of Open World game. I would be satisfied with half of BotW from this game since it's One Piece. But if it can reach Zelda standard then it's good.

Not so much fed up so much it's kind of overdone and in some instances simply not utilized very well.
and don't forget the games developers who perivously partnered with them (like Koei Tecmo, and ubisoft) are capable of doing without their involvement.
….Koei Tecmo and Ubisoft don't develop games they publish them, and of the two only Ubisoft would be considered a Triple A publisher. Whereas Tecmo Koei are those guys only known releasing Dynasty Warriors and Dead Or Alive (yes they published Nioh as well though those are more established by comparison).
On the other hand, people complained about burning blood having a "small" roster, despite being the first game (and probably the last) in its series.
One Piece fighting games are generally one offs unless they have "Grand Battle" in the title.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Team Ninja, Omega Force, Gust and Tecmo are subsidiaries that only develop games for Koei Tecmo, and I think Ubisoft works in a similar way.
Look no further than One Piece Pirate Warriors series, this game was published by Bandai Namco, yet Koei Tecmo's logo shows up before you play the game, despite being "developed" by Omega Force.
btw, It seems I made a mistake, I thought the xbox exclusive naruto games were published by Bandai Namco, guess I was wrong, it was published by Ubisoft itself.

Did One Piece even have another fighting game? (apart from Fighting for One Piece which also tanked), I guess it's pretty safe to assume that if a One Piece game sold well, it is gonna get a sequel, Pirate warriors and Unlimited are series for a reason. Although judging from interviews, it seems the producer planned an open world game as soon as Burning blood was released.

Same Burning Blood during Unlimited World Red interview in 2014 hinting Aokiji moveset.
Siliconera have some mods that are One Piece fans. I hope interview One Piece World Seeker the same way hinting the next One Piece game.
The only Japanese video game companies that are even trying to dabble in the AAA realm are Capcom and Square Enix.
Bandai Namco mainly deals with mid-tier and AA games that target a niche market.As for the little bit of info on World Seeker, I appreciate the idea of giving us different options for certain scenarios in the game. Luffy and stealth seem like oil and water, but Luffy has shown to be capable of being stealthy when the opportunity calls for it.
I would rather have devs try something new and experiment with different ways to approach gameplay than having the same beat em ups and fighting mechanics over and over again.
Yup and Capcom may be doing less since RE7 failed expectations wise and depending on how the likes of Monster Hunter World does.
I hope the devs just do more with the combat, I like Unlimited Red but it's combat needs more to it than it's basic combos, especially if Luffy is only playable from the sounds of it.
Looks like absolulte garbage.
HOW COME LUFFY NEVER KILLS AN ENEMY?
ODA:ITS BECAUSE IN THAT ERA EVERYONE USES THEIR LIVES TO FIGHT FOR THEIR DREAMS. FOR AN ENEMY WHEN THEIR DREAM HAS BEEN SHATTERED,IT IS AS PAINFUL AS DEATH,I BELIEVE FOR A PIRATE NOT TO KILL AN ENEMY , IT'S GIVING THEM A SECOND CHANCE TO FIGHT FOR THEIR DREAMS.
Maybe the team behind the latest Black Clover PS4/PC game should have developed One Piece World Seeker since their game is not going to be an anime fighter or a musou. Bandai even saving it for last. Who would be down for Tales of One Piece?
Tales games are like fast food mid tier RPG's, Namco ain't moving the teams off those games.
Looks like absolulte garbage.
Bandai Namco Youtube Livestream on Sunday for the One Piece Stage-
Tales games are like fast food mid tier RPG's, Namco ain't moving the teams off those games.
I disagree because the Tales of are more than just RPG games. They also have fighting game elements.
We haven't got any One Piece game focus on team party members fighting together against enemies nostop with so many different styles of team attacks.
Bandai Namco in Dragon Ball FighterZ interview by Game Informer said they willing to work with any gaming studio even western developers to develop anime games as long as they fully know the series.
So that statement about Bandai won't let the Tales of team to develop a One Piece game is load of crap.
I can say the same thing for Ganbarion never going to develop a Dragon Ball, but they did and it's pretty decent. Sold well in Japan as it should.
Spike was stuck developing Dragon Ball games for long and now they're free from it. J Stars Victory VS and One Piece Burning Blood may not be their best games, but it's still a start for them to try something new. They just need sequels.
I personally think the developers of the Seven Deadly Sins game should have developed One Piece game instead Spike because they would add adventure/free roaming/RPG and fighting. It would be One Piece Burning Blood + One Piece Pirate Warriors. This way pleases every One Piece fan.
No developer is limited to one game dude. Look up Sword Art Online Fatal Bullet, it's develop by Dimps and not Artdink this time. One day, I hope Dimps develops a One Piece game.
Look no further than One Piece Pirate Warriors series, this game was published by Bandai Namco, yet Koei Tecmo's logo shows up before you play the game,
Well it makes sense as you just mentioned Omega Force is a company owned by KT with BandaiNamco simply giving them permission to make those games as the own the video game rights to One Piece.

And if you want to count it Battle Stadium D.O.N
It's important to keep in mind that developers alone aren't the key to whether a game is good. It's the director/team/talent behind the developer that matters the most.
That was bad by virtue of the fact that as a Musou game which are known for letting you play as any number of characters in it's various modes this game for some reason only let you play as Luffy in the story mode.
my point, precisely. thanks!
so…we should get some news about this game tomorrow, uh? I hope we get a teaser trailer at least.
I cannot fucking believe this.
They showed OPPW3 Deluxe Edition footage at fullscreen for audience at home but when they showed World Seeker footage it was fucking off-screen.
Gameplay looks pretty solid thus far imo, I would like to see a bit more "One Piece" though. And by that, I mean any semblence of known characters you can interact with.
Gonna be 100% honest. This is the best utilization of Luffy's stretching abilities I've seen in a game.
I'm seeing a lot of elements from western games in the brief glimpse of movement.
Luffy's movement looks great imo, super fluid and pleasing animations. Unfortunately that's about all the praise I have so far on this game. Still not in love with the graphics, I'd have to re-watch a bunch of times but from what I saw the combat looked just okay. Nothing spectacular just yet. Obviously there's still much more to see from this title and I'm willing to wait, I'm not writing it off this soon. It DOES look good enough. I've finally seen it in motion and what I saw was pretty decent tbh.
Looking forward to learning more in the future.
I love how original this looks, completely different from every other One Piece game. Making Jet Pistol function like an actual shooting a pistol, brilliant! Having UFO work like a glider like BotW, hopefully we can use Gum Gum Balloon as well. I can't even imagine going Fourth Gear and flying around like a jet plane!!
The way Luffy travels and fights in that trailer remind me of Infamous.
That's a good thing in my book, got me interested in seeing more.
I hope this game sells over a million copies and people like PewDiePie plays it for the Pirates Vs Ninjas war. XD
Official Trailer-
Honestly, I like it a lot. It's definitely different then the Unlimited series in adventure, and feels much more immersive.
BUT….they gotta have the whole crew playable. Just Luffy would be a real shame. It wouldn't make it awful, but it would be wasted potential. I mean, the stealth aspect is perfect for Nami or Usopp.
What if during traveling or adventure thing we can only use Luffy but after receive the quest sub mission or main mission. We can select other characters?

The will of D.
D.L.C. that is
Looks amazing.
Can't wait for more reveals.
Idk but that looks pretty damn amazing
I love the Spiderman style arm slinging he did with the trees
Since the game itself is clearly early beta, I think it looks good, but am hoping for the following
-More islands that just that one. I'm hoping that is a "starter" island as it seems very basic for the most part aside from the potential interior and is a relatively bland setting given how rich the One Piece world is.
-Tweaking the graphics to look more like One Piece style
-Large enemy variety
-A good amount of canon One Piece elements. Characters, items, enemies, etc.
-More RPG elements of Luffy acting like Luffy. He seems a bit too serious from what we've seen.
-At least one other playable character, and if not, the crew should have a decent screentime.
I am in the understanding that some of these things will probably be addressed in the inevitable sequel, especially the playable characters.
So hyped for this game! Need more info about the game though. Plot is somewhat hinted, Luffy looks amazing, but the land looks empty. That city on the map seems to be the venter of everything with sparsely populated areas. As long as there are plenty of quests and a good amount of cool areas we can explore, Id be set! One cool area besides the city that I found interesting was the one with crystals sticking up from the ground. Im also hoping the big body of water in the middle is used for something like sailing from one side to the other. So far theyve shown off an area on the map that isnt seen so the map may be much bigger than what we see if not just slightly. Come on Ganbarion! Here's tp hoping for plenty of worthwile missions, cool areas to explore, and a decent level of progression!
If properly exploring the map truly calls for limb stretching and ufo floating and spidermanning to get around, it makes perfect sense to build it around just Luffy. Not being able to play other characters is lame, but okay if they REALLY nail that and make it super crazy enjoyable, exploring and combat variety, the same way its fine having just Link or Spiderman for an entire game.
That said, we kind of expect full SH rosters minumum at this point, so I'd have to hope there'd be some missions or exclusive areas for the others to hang out in or at least have them as NPC allies on missions or SOMETHING. Zoro's in that one screenshot so its not like they're going to be completely absent.
Usopp sniping from some of that stuff would be crazy.
oh my god, it looks so fluid! i wasn't expecting nothing like that; hope they make way for past and present antagonists to appear somehow, i'm dying to see Linlin in some of those new games.
and, look, Robin can do everything that Luffy can, haha. it would be fun to explore this world with her too.
My biggest concern at this point is that the world looks rather generic and lacks the weird flavor of One Piece. Not that every island is inspired but this one looks particularly plain, if reasonably pretty.

The island is probably the first area of the game. I would really doubt it all occurs there, especially with the hook of Marejois going up in flames and such.
Here is what I call nice interviews, please watch them both because even though there is a huge overlap between the two interviews some different details are still revealed in one and not the other.

I'm cautiously optimistic. An open world One Piece game sounds fun. The graphics don't look so good, but that doesn't dominate whether or not the game is good. I'm going to be waiting and seeing how this turns out, and hoping for the best. The potential is there.
Got to admit, I'm pretty bummed about the game being Luffy-only, but I suppose Robby is right, that if it's more flexible in traversing the world with him, then the more static Unlimited style, it's for the best.
One thing, though. I hope there's more to the enemies then just mooks. Like sub-bosses you can stumble upon by chance. That would be really cool.
I'm more pleased that it seems like they're taking their time with this one, with no indication it's being rushed out the door like most licensed games. Looks like this one is getting some polish before the release date.
I wouldn't count the other Straw Hats out just yet. It's more confirmed Luffy will be the main POV than him being exclusively playable, and I reaaaallly doubt they'd leave the main cast on the side. I imagine it'll be somewhat like Unlimited Adventure Red, where Luffy has his exclusive maps, and then more open areas will be accessible to everyone else.
Bah, all speculation at this point though. I want to be hyped, but it's too early aaaaaaaah.

Zoro was seen in a screenshot. I would guess you can bring along at least one crewmate for your adventures.
It has been confirmed in an interview that Luffy is the only playable character. Honestly, this has me more excited for the game. Mainly because I'd rather they work on fine tuning a single character and building a world around their mechanics. I hope they take full advantage of Luffy's moveset when designing and building the world. I know we have only seen one zone so far, but hopefully whenever the next trailer drops, we'll see more. If it is more of the same, then I will start to worry.

This is the important bit, especially if the crew isn't playable and they just serve as NPC quest givers or something.

I'd like a source on this, otherwise if you're referring to the interviews above, that's not quite enough to be confirmation for a single playable Luffy.
It's understandable that it'd be nice to have them focus on one character, but I'd like to keep the hope alive that the rest of the crew will be involved outside of the helpful NPC.

Doesn't the Assassin's Creed games have allies who can follow you around and stuff? I would guess the same idea would apply with the crewmates.
Also, re-watching the interview, a lot of it is basically:
Interviewer "Hey, so what about the story/locale/the stealth aspect/characters"
Nakajima: "Sorry, you'll have to wait until later".
What was even the point? :P
That is more on the interviewer. There are lots of questions that could have been asked. I hope there is a bigger event where journalists can ask questions. I don't know what the criteria for this press one in Paris was. Need less fan questions and more nitty gritty. How long has the game been in development? When do they plan to show more? What does focusing on Luffy allow from a technical standpoint?
It happens all the time sadly where people ask questions about things not seen to where of course the answer is "wait and see."
Wow, very cool :getlost:
I wonder if Big Mom will make a cameo as a secret boss like WB did in the first Unlimited game.
