Yeah I've seen PostNL in action filling the trucks at a pick up point near me. That delivery guy liked to throw the packages in his truck. He didn't seem to enjoy the job. Luckily it never happened to one of my packages.
Kingdom Hearts 3 took two generations to release and that was one of the biggest disappointments I played in years.
I'm looking forward and I'm scared for VII remake part 3. Really wonder how they are going to end. They said advent children still happens so it should end the same...
There used to be a time I only wanted to see what Square-enix were showing. That's how amazing a new Final Fantasy was. Now all I can say is meh.. I hope we get to see something of FF7 part 3 though, hopefully in that rumoured state of play.
@Kidfunkadelic83 I played the game for a couple of hours on the OG PS5, physical disc. Played both on quality mode and performance. On quality I noticed a couple of frame drops but nothing game breaking or as bad as some are saying. It might also been extra notable because I was focused on it. Performance does run more smoothly, you do notice a difference if you pan the camera around fast. This was on the new style mode, I didn't notice anything weird on the legacy mode when I tried that.
Overall it plays great and I'm enjoying it so far, even when being for focused on the performance this time. There are some issues when your really focused on them, but nothing game breaking. If it would really bother you I advice to play in performance mode and maybe also in legacy mode, but I wasn't bothered with it in Quality mode. I think you can compare it to late gen switch games such as tears of the kingdom. Overall it runs great but sometimes the game is being challenged.
To he fair to Push Square there are more very positive reviews out there. It seems to really depend on what you find acceptable and what not. Digital foundry also likes to nit-pick and blow things way up, not saying they are wrong but it seems to become a common thing. Going to experience it myself tonight, and see if it's really that bad or not.
But why? Why does everything need to be a complete franchise these days. This game has a perfect wrapped up story, sure they can continue the story or make prequels, but why not create a new story with new characters in a new world.
There is a reason why Final fantasy, for example, was a succes in the past. Every game was different and new.
@PuppetMaster Okami and Ace Attorney did age better compared to Onimusha, and there aren't that much similar games for those two, plus they had physical released in stores. I know that shouldn't matter but it might be a reason why it's harder for Onimusha 1 and 2 to reach gamers that have no nostalgia for it.
Sony:New Astro bot, Ape escape revival, Alundra, any dead Sony IP. Square-enix: FF VII remake part 3, FFXIII remaster, KH4. Capcom: MegaMan, code Veronica remake. Sega: jet set radio and crazy taxi release date
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.
