Idea Factory Teams With Sting to form Super Sting

[Shizuka]

A mediocre company teaming up with not one of my favorite companies. I shouldn't be excited, and I'm not.

Poor Sting, to be straddled with the likes of IF is probably one of the worst fates up there with going bankrupt.

Ah well, as long as IF allows Sting to to work on their own IPs separately and keep away from the Dept Heaven series then all will be good.

Did the companies merge or is this just a new development team?

No further news as of yet.

I'm personally hoping that it's not a merge and just a venture that is separate from Sting and their operations.

I'm not too versed on IF itself, but Compile Heart is amazing. They are a part of IF, so this could be good?

I'm not sure about Sting though. The last game they made that I really liked was Riviera, but that was a long time ago.

it isnt a merge its just a brand both are involved in

I wonder if Atlus wasn't enough for Sting.

idea factory is the bigger srpg power house than atlus japan

I am not surprised they havent teamed up sooner

Idea Factory may have produced more SRPGs in the past, but they're far from being in any kind better than Atlus.

in terms of srpgs I would say they are...which is what this team up is about

So this Super Sting is going to be completely separate from regular Sting, that's good. While I typically dislike games released by IF I'll give them the benefit of a doubt here, maybe Sting will have a good influence on them rather then the other way around.

Well as long as Ito and his team at Sting are left unaffected by this then everything's fine with me regarding this.

Seriously?

IF, keeping making mediocre games with Compile Heart and leave Sting alone...

So much IF hate
