I want Digimon to break out. It has always been my favorite Monster Taming series. Mostly because of the Monster design and how the monsters are sentiment and can communicate with us.
But… I don't think it'll happen. Because it's owned by Bandai Namco. And they have other games that make WAY more money than Digimon ever could. So they're not hungry enough to put the work in. PocketPal was hungry. Which is why I think Palworld did well. There was a drive. Bandai doesn't have that drive for Digimon. Just make another Tekken and make more money.
So I am hoping and praying that they do. But I'm holding my breath.
I'm excited for the next Story game, but oh man does the gameplay in Palworld make me want a World game that plays similarly. Maybe ditch the catching mechanic, let the player choose a partner from ANY rookie, have a digivolution mechanic, and bring in the caring and mistakes features from World and NextOrder. You can already get halfway there with some of the rudimentary mods that are out there for palworld. I think this weekend I'm going to see if I can mod in the menu SFX and music from DMW1, just to see what emotions that evokes.
I was really interested in Digimon by the time the Cyber stories came out
I hope that they announce the new story game at DigiCon. Announce that NextCentury is finally going global and leaving China with the new Chinese only digimon game replacing it (although mobile digimon games haven't been around for long, it would still fill that market). And also announce development on a non-turned based digimon game
I always chuckle when YouTubers think companies will watch their video.
Jokes aside, even if Digimon reveals a new game, I don't think it will be at the level of Palworld or ever make a game like that. While it sounds like a good opportunity, I don't think Digimon needs to worry about anything. While Digimon isn't a big household name, it's still impressive that Digimon has stayed relevant for a long time. Not many monster collectors can say that. Yeah, the only current thing Digimon has is the card game. Still, it just seems like a risk Digimon doesn't need to take.
I agree, I think digimon can really explode if they market their games properly. Digimon needs to come up! im tired of seeing my species suffer
I think they were onto something with Cybersleuth (which clearly borrowed from Persona), the issue was more execution than anything. The game was just really rough, and it was a slog at times. I'm not totally confident they would do a good job with it just aping something else. Digimon's big issue I think is getting the monsters in front of people. There's so many great designs, they just need something as approachable as Palworld that focuses more on engaging with the creatures. Their games lately have been a bit too narrative heavy I think. As much as I like that in some games, I think if they want to be more mainstream they need something that's more focused on play and exploration.
I've wanted Digimon to be Pokemon's actual rival for decades. I loved Digimon Adventure as a kid and watched through Frontier. The themes are a little more mature. The downs are lower than in Pokemon. They just need a home run of a game with some wide appeal.
A good follow up to world or world 4 would probably be best. monster hunter stories has the best turn based imo. Pal world in motion already looks like a better world next order in terms of models. And yes been waiting on them for 2 decades, especially with people saying pokemon was better since a kid.
Digimon has a better designer than Pokemon in my opinion but it never caught on due to the lack of a better story and something that strengthened the players' bond with the characters and monsters.
Digimon monsters are much prettier.
No question that Digimon is an underused IP. They could be doing a lot more. Although they have brand recognition (debatable how big and how many would care if they did recognise Digimon in any new games), that can act as a double edged sword. Most of digimons's recent games have been a visual novel with some other flavour of genre, and that may be poisoning the water.
Palworld has been something of a lightning-in-a-bottle game. I doubt Digimon could get close to that kind of success because they're a more mainstream brand, but they could be doing a lot better.
I really hope Digimon Con reveals at least a trailer for the next Story game this year. The last two were so empty for game fans, they need to capitalize on PalWorld opening the floodgates for other Monster Taming series.
I terms of Anime i couldn’t get others after Tamers (to me it was peak), like the others ended using gimmicks like spirit and fusion, which was just off putting. Data Savers was alright Ghost Game was great, but it felt like it was beginning to drag on. I really hope Story 4 does well😊, i have yet to play Survive.
It's 2024. STOP MAKING TURN BASED GAMES! We need in depth action RPG Digimon. I'm so done with turn based games
Dude, I want it
NO MORE DEX CUT IN ALL THE FUTURE POKEMON GAMES!
The battle system in palworld is extremely similar to the one in the Digimon World series' like Next Order (excluding the player character). At the same time, Next Order felt really low-effort imo so there's a lot that could be improved still.
I think Digimon can learn from palworld and put together an amazing Digimon World title, incorporating more open world elements.
Digimon already made a pal world like game. 24 or 25 years ago. All they had to do was make a sequel that wasn't as hard or one with difficulty toggle.
So you could keep playing spreadsheet mon or just a casual monster taming adventure that is semi open world.
But Digimon dropped the ball because they interpreted low sales from a difficult game as a sign to not make a challenging but rewarding experience.
Digimon world 1 was amazing. Just explain things more and make things more apparent. I guarantee if I didn't need game faqs to tell me how to not get a sukamon and instead gave me some benchmarks to hit with the sammmme gameplay.
We'd have played pal world like games for 20 years and pal world as it is now wouldn't have exploded or even succeeded.
But Nintendo isn't the only veteran Japanese company that can drop the ball so badly.
Digimon literally made pal world. In 1999. It just needed a real sequel to that game to succeed. Graphics, sound design, story and it would have made billions
Even though digimon is the goat, I don't think this Palmon hype will last for the several years that is required to make a whole new game and digimon story probably won't rival Palworld's initial success since it is merely a turn based title.
I hate this title, Digimon is doing great, it doesn't need a "final chance"
🤜💯🤛
Honestly, if Survive had been more monster-catcher/army builder kind of deal where you're assembling forces to fight off the baddies and fortifying your own bases, and then had the visual novel components added on to a more complete feeling RPG, I'd have been more satisfied with it.
Don't get me wrong, it was an excellent story and the gameplay was good enough with enough variety. But it was just enough, in my opinion, and just wasn't really the next step we needed mechanically for the franchise.
It would be nice if Digimon went for it and made a cool new game. Sad to say I tried a couple of their console games many years ago and ended up disliking them yet stubbornly tried to make myself like them. The result was I lost nearly all my appreciation for Digimon. It left me with the impression that their are most just the cast from the tv shows then just off brand version of all of those guys. Also I hated having to do things like constantly feed them and pick up their literal crap and then they end up randomly dying or digivolve into something terrible. Yeah the couple games I played for pure chaos.
Side note: When Pokemon X and Y came out and you used a mega evolution did anyone else shout for example "Blastoise digivolve to MEEEGGA BLASTOISE!" LOL
Pokemon, Digimon, and Dragon Quest Monsters are the kings of squandered opportunity. DQM constantly refuses to release its best games outside japan. Digimon makes a single success, and then never follows up on it, rather flipping to a new genre instead. And Pokemon? Well, fans have been asking for a Palworld-like game for over a decade.
I like Digimon in principle, but I'm not sure the franchise knows its audience. The movies have largely been nostalgia-driven in recent memory (with this strange notion of having to leave things behind in adulthood when they bank on fans doing anything but…), the games seem to be made for the teenage audience you'd expect and the anime series seem geared towards younger viewers. Not sure where the cardgame and v-pets sit.
Personally, I'd love to see a new World or Stories title. But I'm confused. Is this just about Palworld getting attention so Digimon should follow suit or is there something happening I'm not aware of? Because at the rate Digimon has been going, I'm not sure timing is the issue.
Digimon world 4 but with more souls like combat would be lit.
Not their "last chance" and titles like these are why I stop subbing to you. Take that as you as you will.
🙏
After all those monster taming franchises Angemon and Angewomon are still my favourite monsters/digimons so yeah they can make it if they try !!!
Bandai is extremely terrible at marketing. I don't have much hope towards Bandai. Their marketing department for Digimon sucks.
That being said, I know Habu is very passionate in the game department. So, I'm excited to see what's next regarding Digimon games.
But I really don't a lot of hope towards the anime department. They need someone like Habu.
Digimon dev is lazy and uncreative. Bandai is just a cash grab
Bandai has been squandering Digimon since the get go. Digimon was such an instant hit that it was globalized within months. A feat that took Pokemon two years to pull off. Bandai just hasn't taken the genre as more than a passing fad until recently.
This year is set up perfectly in most forms of media Digimon takes for it to knock it out of the park and be back up to where they should be. Only time will tell.
Digimon fighting game like dbz fighterz will be good
Bandai is just as bad as EA no thanks honestly have you played Street Fighter 6 a $60 game plus game pass and purchase of new characters yeah no thanks I am not interested in a company who adds on a battle pass in the game when bought full game supposedly
I need more cybersleuth type digimon games or more digimon world games
I wish it was an action rpg. Really tired of the turn base
I'm going to post you vedio's link in official digimon partners website
They burnt me with Digimon Survive. We can just accept they that digimon is dead because they refused to move into the adult pokemon space and tried to do a half and half which no one cared about.
Digimon survive 2 would be lovely. Or a remake of dawn and dusk
I prefer digimon to pokemon, but unfortunately digimon still doesn't seem to know what it wants to be after all these years, and marketing seems to be an alien thing to Bandai.
Why do you people not understand that Palworld is not even a really good game. The hype was mostly because of tilted Pokemon fans permanently free advertising the game. Stop act as Palworld is a huge gamechanger, they lost a huge amount of players already. You guys probably do not realize that both the Pokemon and the Digimon franchinse laugh about Palworld.
Heavily agreed they have more love in the digimon movies tthan the games
#Gym_Leader_Ed This is the way Digimon world should be.
Yes, Digimon has chance but since it didn't have capturing feature. The only thing we can expect from Digimon is digivolution.
Unless the game was Digimon Xross War, where instead of capturing, they can join us inside the digivice + able to combining multiple digimon to be something new without having breeding feature.
after their last release, digimon really needs to try again. I would love to see a more open world digimon game maybe similar in concept to digimon world 4, though maybe without the idea of trying to be a crappy diablo clone. Basically different gameplay, but you still control the digimon directly. Your growth through the game and choices to make for that growth would determine what digimon you digivolve into as you continue to grow rather than be a sort of unlock and of course you'd have lots of branches for which direction you can digivolve into. Whether you can switch between forms on the fly however would be debatable but digimon can fall into certain archetypes that way when you unlock a digimon within a certain archetype you could swap out your appearance for the one you like instead, for example omnimon and alphamon are bipedal digimon and unlocking one of them will allow you to use that appearance on the other instead, metal garurumon and saber leomon would be quadrupeds and could be swapped out as well. the idea is only really a concept and probably is too similar to some ideas done in the past still so it would need to be worked out more, part of the initial idea I thought of throwing in the survival crafting stuff too, but honestly those games are a dime a dozen and about a quarter of new games coming out recently seem to have some kind of strong focus on that type of game and honestly i'm a bit burned out on those. Maybe it can still be done but heavily tone down the base building stuff or something so it just becomes a secondary feature instead of the primary game loop though.
I really hope Bandai get a game coming out soon. Last digicon, they revealed Digimon Seekers, which looked like it was Digimon mix with soul hackers, but it was only a web novel.
I'm so proud of you Ed 😍 my favorite youtuber
