To this day the PS one is still my favourite console of all time. This game aling with VII and VIII are one of the biggest reasons why. So many great games were released on that console. A remake would be great so a new generation might get to appreciate this game like we did back then.
It's weird it hasn't been announced yet if it really is true. Maybe they went back to the drawing board after the succes of Claire obscure, a remake with that turn based gameplay style would be amazing.
I have so many great memories of these games from the PSone days. I have a feeling this remake can only disappoint once the nostalgia wears off. Still going to buy it though, a great game to play through the summer.
@timbo87 mostly the whispers and story changes. I love both of the remake games but even for me those story changes put a damper on it.
I would also love a full blown remake of VIII. It's still my favourite FF. But I don't see it happening though. For some reason VIII is framed as the black sheep of the franchise.
I can't imagine how much this must have hurt for the developers who worked on this. Something bing taken from you after 7 years of work just like that. It being praised like that a couple of months before just make it even harder to accept. I hope they find a way to deal with this.
As sad as this all is, there is potential here for PlayStation. Reel in the talents, set up small studios and let them create smaller passion projects.
The Terminator game we all wanted in the '90s. Would be nice if more movie franchises get this treatment. A metroidvania Aliens game would be amazing..
Everything from this game seems to be a lazy quick cash grab. These graphics were great in 2014. Shame though, everybody's golf is always a great fun game.
The Xbox was the console where jrpgs never sold big numbers, and in addition, now it's the console where people almost don't buy games at all and just wait for it to be on game pass.
He's not wrong. Yes switch 2 is a big leap, but that's all. I enjoy Mario kart wonder but graphically it's not that amazing on the big screen. Donkey kong banana also doesn't look to be graphically as amazing. Maybe that rumoured ocarina of time remake will push it harder, but that remains to be seen. Let's just say both have there strengths and both exvel with their first party games.
There are alot of great games shown from all shows. I need to get extra time to be able to play them all. And that's even without Nintendo showing anything new.
They made me feel like a star, and then they ripped it away just like that. And worse of all, Nintendo took away all of my gold coins. Now I need to find free gaming money on the streets.
To answer this question you need to really look back on the past. Is the amount of information we get on new games better or worse.
When I grew up we only had game magazines (club Nintendo, opm, etc.) dripfeeding some information. Sometimes you only got one screenshot. Now times have changed and with each generation we got more content thrown at us because the internet got bigger. If I look at the PlayStation YouTube channel there are new trailers everyday, might not be from the big games but still there are new games announced every day. First we had E3 and TGS where every big game was announced, after a while gamescom was included. Now we got a 3-5 showcases in the year. The only difference is all the "influencers" and so called gaming experts on the socials that bring rumours every day, that creates so much hype that companies can't live up to.
So do they need to have a showcase. Not necessary, but I would love one though. We're just to used to get news every single day these days.
@Cornpop76 a third final chapter is needed though. There was so much built up with the Seraphites and more that let to nothing, and more plots that were built up. Even though it had a kind of closed ending there is a lot that could be done.
They could also make a shorter prequel set between part 1 and 2. This way they can bring Joel back and have it more in style like Part 1. I think most might prefer that.
From the studio that got Factions cancelled. One of the worst buys for Sony PlayStation, they could have bought amazing studios with that money or invest in the studios the have. Does Bungie even own noteworthy IP's besides Destiny.
@Flaming_Kaiser those would be great to. They could even only make remasters of those games. They have so much potential IP's, it's sad they aren't able to see it.
Imagine if they didn't change FFVII's story and add 70% procent extra content that wasn't in the original. It would have fitted in one game. They could have bathed in money now.
I hope they get it together though. Final fantasy used to be the series I bought a console for. Now it's the sonic of RPGs, either a hit or miss with wacht game. Rebirth and FF XVI were great so hopefully they will keep it up.
Ramsey is a fine actress but she lacks the emotional reach needed for this role. This also proved how amazing the performance of the game is. They should have looked ahead during the castings for this. She was great during season one but the Ellie for part 2 is on a different level.
Yeah but in what form. Don't get me wrong because I will double dip if it's completely physical on switch 2. But rebirth and part 3 will be heavily downscaled for S2. And if part 1 won't sell that well I wouldn't be surprised if they won't make the effort.
I pre-ordered Death stranding, ghost of yotei and Mario kart priced for 75€. I only pay this price if I know it will be worth for me and if its physical and completely on a disc or card. So I will most likely only buy first party at launch in the future and wait for the rest in a sale.
I don't like the prices but I have been buying Blu ray movies for the last decade Wich most cost me 20-25. Most movies offer 2 hours of entertainment (excluding rewatches) so in comparison a gane gives a longer entertainment value.
When prices go this high or higher people will become more selective in which games they will buy, so less games wil be bought (at least at full price). Casual gamers might jump ship completely. In the long run this will cost them more then it will gain on short term.

Re: Like It or Loathe It, This Is Why Sony Won't Stop Trying to Make Live Service Games for PS5
They should remake/reboot Warhawk. That game was amazing and a lot of fun. Would be great as a live service.

Re: Unsurprisingly, Final Fantasy 7 Remake's Future May Not Be PS5 Exclusive
Yeah but in what form. Don't get me wrong because I will double dip if it's completely physical on switch 2. But rebirth and part 3 will be heavily downscaled for S2. And if part 1 won't sell that well I wouldn't be surprised if they won't make the effort.

Re: Ghost of Yotei PS5 Pre-Orders Show Players Are Willing to Pay $80, Even When They Don't Have To
I pre-ordered Death stranding, ghost of yotei and Mario kart priced for 75€. I only pay this price if I know it will be worth for me and if its physical and completely on a disc or card. So I will most likely only buy first party at launch in the future and wait for the rest in a sale.
I don't like the prices but I have been buying Blu ray movies for the last decade Wich most cost me 20-25. Most movies offer 2 hours of entertainment (excluding rewatches) so in comparison a gane gives a longer entertainment value.

Prices already went up to 80€ on some sites here. They really didn't hesitate to up the prices. Going to wait for a better price.
