news from ffhq.net about the making of The bouncer 2
sorry no Screens or other details yet, but there is the quote and link to the news story.
The Bouncer 2 is in the Making
During an interview brodcast on TV in Japan, the director of The Bouncer, Mr. Tokita, revealed that a sequel is indeed being planned for The Bouncer. The main character will change from Sion to Kou, (the best character IMHO) and the story will focus on his rather interesting past.

Bouncer 2 announced already?
I\'d like to see bouncer first, and still have to wait few months for it. I can\'t even say am I waiting forward to the 2nd one, as I am still waiting forward to the first one ( and not so badly, becasuse all the bad reviews ).
Bouncer 2. What i\'ve read from the reviews of The Bouncer, I hope they fix all those problems ( make the game little longer, hey C\'mon ), and it could be a very good game indeed. But could, what if and so on. Stupid.
-
that wont be difficult for them to improve on the first one , all i have heard that was wrong with the Bouncer was
- Too Short
- Loading times too long
- Lack of real depth
now remeber we are talking about Squaresoft, so the second game should atleast live up to its hype (i hope).
but hey thats not going to stop me from buying the Bouncer when it comes to the UK :D.

Poor Square...why are they making such a sh*t game?

The Bouncer is not a and to use your words, a sh*t game !
its just that with the development of a second game in the series, they can concentrate on building and improving on the last game.
Just look at what they did to the final fantasy series.
FF7 Great
FF8 Alright but not as good as 7
FF9 Far far far better that 8 and even shatters 7 according to some people :D.
-
Man i was so hyped about this game then i heard all the bad stuff and now i\'m not going to get it. mainly because it\'s too short.
-
well thats something they can fix for the second game,
remember the improvements that squaresoft mad to FF after the release of 8 ?
just keep an eye on this one they might win you back :D.
-
yea i believe sqaure will really pull it aound with this one
they would be stupid to put out another one without the stuff people asked for
i mean they just need to deliver some more of what was promised but never made it to the final version of the Bouncer

thats what happend with the FF9 control system, people where sick with the junction system of 8 so they went beact to the all the good things from 7 and improved on that :D.
-
interesting... must I wait to the sequel? ;)
-
I don\'t care what they say about the Bouncer I\'ll probly get it.It sounds like my kind of game.
-
i like short games in a way. I have so many games I want to play that I like to be able to get throughy one and get on to the next very quickly. dont get me wrong i play some long games too like all the final fantasys but i think some games are meant to be short and sweet. just too bad they dont drop the price when the games are shorter.
long game = $39.99
short game = $39.99
too bad

But why are they making a sequel already?Why cant they just improve the first game for now??Square is gonna lose money.
-
Yes they have the chance to improve the PAL and NTSC vesrions.They arent out yet.
They should add all the interactivity and the other elements they showed in the first Bouncer appearance at TGS.
It featured revolutionary gameplay.But then all those elements that made it so revolutionary vanished in the final version.Why has Sqaure deleted those features they showed at the TGS?
-
Man, I wish The Bouncer 2 would be something much more like Streets of Rage (all 3 of\'em are definately all time favorites, just can\'t get bored). But also, they should put RPG elements like the Final Fantasy series and a lot of branches of storylines like Contra in Sega Genesis (boy, I would play this game over and over and ov... and go thru different endings several times). Squaresoft should really look into message boards \'cos here are the opinions of the minds of real gamers/consumers so that they would know what kinda story line they should be making, not extremely longer movies than gameplay.

Well I would wait until it is released on u.s shores before making any statemnets. I mean you never know it may be a awesome game for you and may not have been that for someone else. I am not saying don\'t listen to reviews, but the games in not out here yet. Well I will get bouncer anyways.

Whopee. A sequel to a mediocre game, just what the world needs.

:) My feeling exactly! Why do companies keep making sequels out of games that are not any good? A classic example is Army Men. Sure they may be kind of fun at first, but after playing for a while you relize that are sugar coated poison!
-
Maybe they beleive that they can deliver what the original was promising(which it didnt deliver) and who knows maybe even more.
Propably the Bouncer was a game to test PS2\'s capabilities.I mean it is almost like a demo.Too short and all the effort was mostly put on graphics.
Also if it sold well thats another reason to make a sequel
-
Now, this is way lower then they expected if they expected to be the first 1 million copies seller in Japan, but for a "mediocure" game, 300,000 is pretty good.

Imagine if BOUNCER 2 is an AAA title how many it might sell
