A question for Deception fans

[pdat2003]

I was reading the new EGM and there is a small article about a new Tecmo game called Trapt. It says that it is a revival of the Deception series from the PS1. My question is whether this is the game Kagero, but with a new name?

No need to hurry with replies. Respond at your leisure.

Thanks

What exactly are you asking? If the game itself is a remake of the 2nd game in the series? Or if it is based on the 2nd game in the series?

Kagero was a sequel, either part 2 or 3 of Tecmo's Deception series. The new PS2 game should be a sequel instead of a remake.

[Strider Turbulence]

Kagero was Deception 2. Deception III was Dark Delusion.

Trapt is a new storyline, from what I read. But, it'll have the same kind of gameplay Deception did.

It's supposed to be a brand new game, though a remake of 1-3 all on one disc would be awesome as hell. Those games are the greatest most sadistic things ever. Now I feel like playing them... damnations, I'll settle for Dungeon Keeper since I'm already on the computer. I hope the new one's more demonic like the first, and less to do with a little kid holding a ring, like the third.

Tecmo should release those and a few other last gen games like Monster Rancher and DOA on a disk and they could charge full price, not like that crap-ass compilation they are trying to sell

Hmm...I hadn't heard about Trapt.

I would love to see Deception 1-3 released with a serious graphical upgrade. That was the only thing about the series that held it back from being a huge hit. With all the carnage on screen it would be nice to see every detail of the traps in action.

Check out the funny TV commercials on the Japanese site! I had no idea this was almost out in Japan (6-30), and it'd be out here in September...! But good God the person who typed up the English site's info could've used some proofreading time...

Anyway, looks like the story/cutscenes will be back in their "so-bad-it's funny" glory, thank goodness for that! I'm really pysched about this game, I've put down "make another Deception game!" on every game registration card I've ever sent to Tecmo...

Oh, and i read on gamefaqs, i think, that some traps were taken out of the US game cause they were too graphic or something? I don't have the issue that mentions this game, is that what it said? Since there's no gore (decapitations, limbs coming off, etc.) in any of the Deception games, I wonder what they could be?...

EDIT: I'm a bit worried about these "Dark Illusion" traps, cause of the cutscenes for them being so long (makes me remember all the summon spells from FF7/8), but they sure do look cool:

Deception Games are so cool and i totally forgot about em. A very unique idea indeed

[humidore]

A kind person (kintaro22) has put a lot of info on the game on the GameFAQs message board: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=928477

*31/40 Famitsu rating
*Buying traps, not making (I'll wait a bit to be able to confirm this)
*check out all the other info they posted! :D

Finally, a Tecmo game I'm excited about!

I've already got this preordered at GR. Isn't much more I love in gaming than Deception games. The only bad thing I've heard about this is that there are a lot less regular traps and the Dark Illusions are supposed to take their spot. I can't imagine they will have anything close to the same cost or placement ease as normal stuff though. I just got a copy of the first off eBay a month or so ago but have yet to play it. I think it's about time. I can't remember if I have my old rental save still though. Here I come Demoness.
