Re: Feature: What We Want From Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and How It Needs to Improve on Remake

EquiinoxGII

I'd love to see a FF8 style story, essentially two stories interwoven into one. Have the main cast and the original story, followed by a new adapted story with Zack as the protagonist. Switch in and out so they follow similar paths but slightly different. And then at the end, bang them together - so part 3 would include all the remaining characters. I'm happy with having the classic separate from this, those memories I'd rather not have tarnished.

Re: Poll: Which Final Fantasy Game are You Most Looking Forward to?

@DETfaninATL that's a hard one! While I'd love to say the classics, they aren't entirely easy for newcomers due to the battle system that is used. I think if you do like games like DOOM, then FF7 Remake might be best suited as it's a very fast combat system. But hey, if you can play the classics then 7,8 and 9 are all fantastic games.

The price will definitely hurt this release, especially without factions too. The game will look great, graphically it's a no brainer. But I couldn't justify paying £70 for essentially the same game but nicer graphics. For the first time buyers it will definitely be worth it.

Maybe they should add some new segments or an after story attachment as to what happens between part 1 and 2. That would bolster the reasons for purchase.

Re: Soapbox: I Really Miss E3

E3 could have totally done much better, it was unfortunately a dying exhibition due to the costs involved and the charges that they were putting forward for slots and stands space. So you can't blame the Devs for pushing forward with their own plans. I do miss the whole week hype though! We just need an organiser to create something where the publishers take control but benefit from the original E3 hype.

Re: Sony Buying Square Enix Was the Big Acquisition Rumour, Apparently

EquiinoxGII

I'd imagine if any of this was true, Sony would have made it abundantly clear what their main focus would be with the buy out. And those extra devisions would have made the total by out, much more costly. So, probably in agreement - SE decided to sell the excess off (gain captial) and sell the rest to Sony for a lower cost. Let's face it, we all know what franchises Sony want from Square. And while we are at it, if Sony do the buyout.. let's go back to Squaresoft.

Re: Unannounced Remake Project Added to Naughty Dog Employee's Resume

They're just doubling down on this, and you can't blame them. I think being able to release the first game again alongside the shows release, they are looking for either side to take part. Casuals might love the show and take a fancy with the remake, and we all know that us gamers (if you enjoy the story) will watch the show. Obviously they will need to make things worthwhile and they can just make sure everything ties up as it should and there won't be any inconsistencies.

Re: PS5, PS4 Exclusives Not Coming to PS Plus at Launch

@themightyant I 100% agree with you! that it's all opinion based. And while we can agree and disagree, I suppose that's how the world works. And yes of course the reviews were great for those games mentioned, and I do see your point. But they are all opinions too. The user ratings are all lower that the critics. Which again for be many reasons. Good discussion though mate! All subjective!

Re: PS5, PS4 Exclusives Not Coming to PS Plus at Launch

EquiinoxGII

@themightyant oh because reviewers opinions are what have made all those games great? I'm not saying those are terrible games. I'm saying they are not as good as what have previously been released. Just because Tom from a review site has rated an Xbox game 9/10 it doesn't mean the game is indeed that score. It's all subjective. Previous Xbox franchises have indeed fallen in quality over the years.

Re: PS5, PS4 Exclusives Not Coming to PS Plus at Launch

@Bleachedsmiles I certainly have.. ironically I've always been an Xbox player. From day 1. This is my first year in buying a playstation. So I've been playing halo since the beginning. The new game is better than 5 of course. But it's still poor for Halo. Flight sim is a niche, granted pretty. And yes phyco has been acclaimed. Is that it? Anyone that tells you Microsoft has improved (correct) but In the grand scheme of things the games have not. Most xbots who are dedicated to the cause have only been on there for a few years and havent seen previous quality.
