Year of the Square Enix : Stranger of Paradise massively surprises and makes it in to the GotY catagory. We also get confirmation of a second FF remake either VI or IX, and a first solid trailer for DQXII.
@TheDudeElDuderino it's crazy really because I had two friends who got from Game, I got mine from Smyth's and another friend from Amazon with absolutely no struggle when pre-orders went live. Usually it's the other way around but this year pre ordering was a breeze if you was online on time. Anything after that though, a whole different story!
Was going to back to back Kena and Guardians this month but decided last minute not to buy either and I'm back to backing Final Fantasy 9 & 10 again instead. Might buy with the next pay packet
Final Fantasy IX for me is not just my favourite FF game, but pretty much my favourite game of all time. It is absolutely beautiful in my eyes. The characters, the towns, the music. I love everything about it. The moment where Vivi walks out of the Black Mage Village Inn and he's looking up at the sky, whilst Zidane is telling Garnet that he is looking for a place to call home is just... It turns my heart to butter. It overwhelms me. Nothing short of magical storytelling. Vivi and his storyline and the way his character grows throughout the game is a pure master stroke. My all time favourite FF Character.
@Korgon o don't know what it is with the Yakuza/Judgement games. I just really can't get in to them. like a Dragon held on to me for longest but by the time I met that robot who unlocks you the fight arena I was literally begging for it to be over
@BowTiesAreCool not sure I'd agree with simpler but you sure have a point on cheaper! What's the catch though? Surely this method has a catch? (I've never tried) Or else what's the point in these expensive SSD cards?
@Crazybuttocks198 I mean, you 100% can fake a broken neck if it's for storyline purposes, the same way you can fake being killed in a limo explosion...
I mean, I get the price increase. As stated, it has been a long time since coming. However, the thing that doesn't sit right with me is you'll have thieves like EA who will charge us an extra 20 for a game but still scam us with micro transactions. What are these games like FIFA and NBA going to give us extra to warrant the price hike? When most of their games are hidden behind micro transactions anyway?
I think the reason they have chosen to announce it today of the State of Play is because it'll be a new title and the "available for free for PS+ in March" tagline will come following a trailer for said game. Can't see them doing a trailer announcement for a game that's already been out so long amidst a 30 minute show for brand new games. And if they are literally just going to be announcing it then they may as well of just done that yesterday as they normally do
@Hyperluminal this may be a stupid question but I'm not familiar with the ratchet and clank series. Is the one they are releasing for free on the 1st March not the same one that is free for PS+ subscribers on PS5?
I mean, I'm someone who can only play one game at a time and I have my own road map set for what I'm going to be playing anyway. So while it is good to get a regular update on what's going to be coming out when, I won't usually get round to it by launch anyway. Plus, I just get a little annoyed when they get you excited about a game and then the end of the trailer says it's coming out over a year away. And then when you take in the delays it will likely face it just makes the whole thing a bit pointless to me. Maybe they have learnt their lessons on promoting games too early with what happened to Cyberpunk. I know that was cross gen and got promoted across all consoles but the outcome of it was a mess. So maybe the days of promoting games so early is dying out? Who knows...

Re: 'High-End RPG Remake' for PS5 in Production at Japanese Studio

It will 99% likely be Remake Part 2. Because technically, even though we all know it's happening, it has never officially been 'announced' yet...
Re: Poll: How Excited Are You for This Summer's Gaming Events?
Even if I just saw some more FFXVI and Horizon FW I'd be happy to be honest. Would be an added bonus for a brand new IP to take my eye too.
