Status check on the rumored FF9 remake?

@pushsquare can we have a poll for how many years GTA6 will win Anticipated Game?

3? 4? 8?

Please and thank you

@ShogunRok and the rest of the comment section.

I have not played Inquisition. Is it worth checking out before Veilguard? Does it hold up still? Better to play on PC instead of Playstation at this point?

@thefourfoldroot1 Well it kind of does. If Sony makes 100 discs of Spider-Man 2, and sells only 22 of them brand new, then the same 22 are being bought and sold over and over again. Maybe 10 of that 22 are never traded in. I'm sure they have some formula to know what percentage of their games are bought used. The percentage is still low enough, IMO, to do away with the disc drive.

@Medic_alert The Disc Drives on the US PS direct website have been available in stock for quite some time

At launch MS had a two tier option for hardware. The entry level into the new Xbox ecosystem was lower than that of a PS5. Sony, yes, had two models, but it had the same specs minus the disc drive.

Fast forward 5 years, the Series S is holding back the Series X severely since they need to be treated as one console. Lesson learned.

You could have said the same thing about any genre at it's peak. Good games will always rise to the top no matter the genre.

FF9 Remake announcement???

Make Playstation Gray Again!

Are the cons of this game more or less the same as Trials of Mana ?

I liked Trials for scratching that JRPG itch without committing a large amount of time.

But can it run Crysis?

Anyone having issues with using the touchscreen for the touchpad button? The overlay lights up but takes several taps for it to recognize the button press. I would say the touchscreen is broken on mine, but it works very well for when I'm in the Portal's menu.

@sanderson72 ESO has always tempted me. Worth trying? Is it an MMO "light" like Destiny or more like a FF14?

I enjoy Destiny a lot. It was easy to get into and wasn't always necessary to be in a party to enjoy it. As for FF14, I found it very overwhelming when I tried it, definitely leans more into what I know of MMOs, which aren't as much my thing.

Hoping Konami does to MGS as Capcom has done to RE

We're still a decade minimum away from 8k being a thing.

Give me that 4k @60 and @120

@rjejr it's a lot easier to make NYC for Spider-Man 2 when it was 70-80% made from two previous games. Rebirth has more newly built environments from the ground up with essentially new gameplay engines from the games expanded scale.

Agreed that a lot of this games flaws are similar to FF16's, which I thought was fantastic.

Either give me the whole game at launch or tell me there's plans for DLC down the road so I hold off for a "Complete" edition to be sold a year later.

I've moved on from FF16 already. I'm not going back now.

Starting disc 3 of the PS4 port of FF7. First playthrough in over 20 years!

Then some Helldivers 2

My expectations were so low for Remake because it was hard to imagine Square pulling it off taking into account their large titles leading up to release. They pulled it off.

For Rebirth, I expected more of the same of what Remake did, which sounds like it is. I'm not here for a groundbreaking, genre defining, game of the year title.

I want a solid gaming experience with the characters I know and love, that soundtrack, those big story moments, and continue to expand on the foundation FF7 left. Day 1 for me.

@Bentleyma are you not a fan of Larry Croft?

GoW by far the biggest title.

Jade Empire would be great too

Could this be a product of there being too many games? Not every game can be a huge hit, so for any studio that has a flop, there is going to be layoffs and studio closings.

Don't forget, Microsoft's first play to get into the console space was to buy Nintendo. They were laughed out of Japan and the Xbox was born.

I honestly don't like this style as much as Octopath or the Live A Live remake

So this is what happened with Beyond Good and Evil 2

Just give me a native remote play app on Steam Deck. Even for $20 I'll buy it

This collection was all about getting Xbox One users over to PS5.

"Did you make the mistake of sticking with Xbox last gen? Well here's all these gems from PS4 to get you up to speed if you join us for PS5."

No need for it anymore. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Give me a native Steam Deck App

I'm hoping this isn't too on the nose with referencing JRPGs of the era it's influenced by. I started Chained Echoes, and while I was enjoying the gameplay, the game straight copied some set pieces and had too many wink/nod moments to CT for my liking. Locations that looked like Magus' Castle Boss Fight or Zenan Bridge. Just give me something original and new to experience.

I hope they got credit for this Youtube video

As someone who has been interested in trying a MH game, which is more accessible, Rise or World?

Tough to give a game a 10 when it is just a better version of GoW (2018). It didn't redo GoW like 2018's did. Same gameplay and then some in the sequel. More world building, more story, but it doesn't reinvent the wheel like the previous. The jump between the two isn't far enough apart for me to put one over the other.

GoW 2018 - 10/10
GoW Ragnarok - 9.5/10

PSN Trophies on Steam Deck??? I'm in

After just finishing RE1 for the first time, I was about to jump into RE2, but Cyberpunk dropped that patch, so I jumped into that instead. The gaming gods have saved me again!!!

@ShogunRok People forget Witcher and Skyrim had UI overhauls later in it's life cycle. The foundation is clearly there with Cyberpunk. Now with it being more accessible in it's intended form, I'm excited for what CDPR has planned for it in the months/years to come.

@ShogunRok Absolutely!!! And if it's on the level of a FF7 Remake then we'll have a huge party and celebrate

@ShogunRok Might be more similar to the kind of patchwork and mods on the PC version. Maybe closer to FFXII Zodiac Age. More of a bump up in quality plus some new bells and whistles than simply a "HD port"

Similar to the Mojang acquisition. You don't let some of the yearly top selling games become isolated on Xbox. Included with Game Pass here, $70 there. Cash in on both sides while also pushing the benefits of Game Pass. Not shocking news

I hope they rebuilt or improved on that game engine. I played a handful of the telltale games on ps4/pro and I had game crashes often. Which for a primarily cinematic, laid back, passive game was strange.

The Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands were easily the best two though. I would definitely consider getting this right away if they are done with episodic releases.

@nessisonett what's the difference between this and when Sony bought Insomniac?

It's not like Sony bought Square, Capcom, Ubisoft, etc

Now yes Guerilla and Insomniac have made shooters in the past, but this definitely fills Playstation's void for a premiere FPS studio. The talent coming over can move off Destiny and maybe develop the next Resistance, Killzone, new IP, etc. Let Bungie do what they want to do.

@BrettAwesome It's still BC on both consoles. They have yet to release a next gen version of the game

I'd rather a Red Dead 2 patch

Can we get a PS5 patch for HZD?

I can see the poll now....

Do you like the idea of a Final Fantasy Souls Game?

A. Whatever.
B. Whatever..
C. Whatever...

@iamtylerdurden1 Well think about this for a second. My gaming setup is in my office. I have a dual monitor setup that I use for work and play (1440p 144hz). Multiple consoles running through a 4k hdmi kvm to one of those monitors (PS3, Switch, Super NT). The other HDMI port for the monitor would/should be my PS5, but it's still my PS4. Not ideal.

Due to wife and kids, I don't keep my gaming consoles in the family room with the big fancy 4k tv since they are using it most of the time.

So yes my setup is not like everyone else, but if I can use a 1080p display, and a 2160p display, why not a 1440p display. I don't care about running high refresh rates, just let me use it. It should be able to scale. So in the meantime my PS5 is still in the box.

Sony is killing it on their backtracking game

PS5: You can play games at 2k but you can't use a 2k display

I have Homebrew on one of my Vitas
